NEW YORK, May Z. - Prices de-
veloped an upward tendency on the
stock exchange Thursday, which be-
came more pronounced as the day ad-
vanced. After a firm opening, theer
was considera BILE irregularity, with
pressure in Steel, Union Pacific and
Reading and moderate selling OF the
international issues.
Copper shares developed strength
and a sharp upturn was given TO the
steel stocks Dealings then fell into
the hands of the professional traders
with n natural shrinkage in the vol
ume of business. New incentive was
supplied by the as hours ultimatum
from Japan TO China. Taking the day
as a whole the buying was much bet

feeling at the close that prices would
probably continue 10 gain strength al

CHICAGO, May importing coun-
tries, while purchasing wheat in
goodly amounts from day 10 day are
showing more conservatism than at
any time since the conflict abroad
was started. They refuse to enter
the market under any other conditions
than when the situation favors them.
ON the price break Thursday foreign
ers absorbed 100000 bushels or
more. largely Manitoba Late We'd
nesday a cargo of Chicago No. hard
winter was taken at the seaboard and
the buyers of that grain were bidding
for additional amounts on the break
OF Thursday. These large transac-
uOns in cash wheat, together with the
confirmation of the claims made on
Wednesday of cinch bugs having
caused damage in northwestern Mis-
souri,, not only drove many shorts to
cover late today, but ii also devel-
Oped a demand from investors as well.
The message telling of chinch bugs
in the southwest said that the pests
are spreading throughout that sec
ton.
Generally speaking. the reports re-
ceived on the southwestern crop were
favorable. Frost damage is feared in
some sections of the west. but when it
became known here that selling or
ders were received from the sections
received no great amount of attention.
The losses in the wheats market on
Thursday ranged from Is to 1c. The
resting spots showed reactions from
the lowest levels of is a l 3-Sc. These
late advances were caused by the early
sellers changing about and at least
partially evening up their positions
There was no change in the wheat
market at Liverpool and Paris today.
The news from Argentina was quite
bullish, as ii reported an unprecedent-
ed demand for wheat with the cash
transactions limited only TO the
amount of wheat available, as we'll
as the tonnage to be obtained.
As a partial offset to the Argentina
news, a cable from India reported
shipments as likely to increase as
soon as arrangements have been made
for additional tonnage in that coun-
try. The Russian government is re-
ported as buying wheat heavily be-
cause of the recent war reverses.
Cash sales here were small, only
10000 bushels.
Losses were shown Of 1-2@ 3-4c in
corn and 1-S6 3-Sc IN oats. Both of
these markets were unsettled and ir-
regular. yet price changes were at
no time heavy. Cash transactions here
today were 205,00O bushels of corn
and $4,000 bushels of oats OF the
corn to,OUO DuShelS was AOT eAPOi :
and Zoe, 600 bushels of oats sold from
ManitOwoc.
The weakness in the hog market
induced general liquidation, especially
of lard and the selling scarried pork
and ribs down with it. During the
last half hour OF the session there
was an improved demand for pork
and September ribs which caused a
reaction and advance at the close.
Cash lard was dull, while cash meats
were fairly active.

question Of spending more money. That

quired for national defense.
Three Naval Needs.
1T is simply a question OF common
sense and expert advice in spending
the money that is appropriated. And
we will never get that until the
people insist that Congress provide
the machinery and the funds and al
low the experts to do the spending.
This brings us to the hrst and
most important Two of the three
great needs Of the navy. Above all.
we should have a budget system lik q
any well-conducted business. This
would make for pride in economy. as
against the present system Of appro-
priation, where department heads
spend all the money they have just
because IT is there and the depart
ment gains nothing II 1t is saved. In
dishonest. but careless and unneeces-
sary. squandering of public funds.
But above an continued Meyer.
there should be. by statutory enact
which would pring together the ex--
perts Of the navy. the executive. and
legislative branches OF the Govern
ment. Such a council. made up OF
naval officers. Cabinet officers. and
congressman could lay down definite
proposals and command the confidence
Of Congress and the people. We could
then form a definite naval program
and hope to follow 1t with some de-
gree Of exactness.
The third big need Is an automatic
enlistment law. By automatic I mean
system Of enlistment that would
adjust itself to the growth of the
navy on a basis OF tonnage. Fol

We should have so many men.

What We should emphasize Is not
the danger of invasion, but the fact
that there Is no danger Of an invasion

feet before II can set foot on the soil
of our country. Any foreign power that
could conceivably attack us would have
to fight us 1900 miles away from it's
