But, except when the ball is crowded during a time of much speculation- about three weeks ago was such &. time, ["). when grain spurted and fell away and spurted again the coffee-room, below, near where the giant painting of the Em- press Catherine is hung, is the scene of most of the business talks. That is open from 10a.m. and is filled all day long.
· LITTLE WHISKY DRUNK.
We went into the little dining-room where smoking is permitted. "Lord In- verforth and his friends usually hava that corner table, I was told. *The men in that other corner are all in the grain trade."
The Baltic began with hemp, tallow] and linseed and linseed is used for) other things besides poultices. Cattle are fed on it, and it is an ingredient in the making of soap and linoleum, Then when the Corn Laws were repealed grain, became the Baltic's chief interest,and ships, of course, had to follow the grain.
I heard a big shipping man say that some of ships held up in the Dominions were eating their heads off at a rate" of £1,000 a day, and that the consequences of the disastrous disturbances in South African and Australian ports are not yet all to se
"I noticed that much water was being drunk at luncheon." "I believe,” said my friend, that the daily luncheons' aver age 600. A good deal of beer, is drunk, but the whisky output here is not more than 4 bottles a week.AN
THE YELLOW - BĻIPS: Along one side of the great ball are the stands where is displayed the newe that is cabled to the Baltio from all over the world. You cap leara geography there. One whole board is devoted to casualties of the day-on long yellow slips of paper. You can sen reports v1. the tiniest casualties to ships, whether they be at Wapping or in New York, Melbourne, or at some tiny island in the far, fare seas
And all the time, from the £1,000 ros trum at the base of ons of the great marble pillars in the vnet hall the uni formed oficials are calling the names of members,wanted by callers, wanted on the telephone to carry on transactions that may begin or end all over the world; or on the high, sens themselves.

Sir Richard said that one authority baracions Godawas estimated that the oil supply in America. A was strictly Buited to twelve years. Ho. himself thought that in 5 years time there would be no oil in the U.S.A. The world supply of oil would not suffice more than so to 100 years.
THE COAL TRADE. Dealing with the causes for the decline in coal exports he said: "The whole situation winy he summed up in two sen tences. Cheapness makes for increased consumption. Increased production makes for cheapness
He believed it possible, by the exclu-. sion of the middleman through a system of corporate selling. to bring enhanced prices to the colliery owner and lower charges to the public.
Nationalisation, he contended, would only result in either dearer coal or higher taxation to enable coal to be produced at a fictitiously low price.
LONGER WORKING DAY.
To tide over the present dificult period, he suggested that on the owners under- taking to seek no reduction in wages. the workmen should voluntarily agree to re- turn to an eight-hour day over period of, say, three years

to Sir Herbert Samuel, "I would rather negotiate with private owners than with the Government. I have been negotint- ing with the Government for the last few weeks, and I cannot get a reply from them.
"I am shortly going to sit on their doorstep until I do get a reply. Oh, yes, I would rather deal with the private owner. (Laughter.)
The adverse rate of exchange and the return by Great Britain to the gold' stan dard were also factors of the decreased ccal export.
