Chicago, June 1.-The unexpected
happened in the corn market today

cline was only about 2 cents.

\. Y. STOCK MARKET

New York, June 2--The tumultuous
stock market that Wall Street looked
for came as scheduled today. In
about fifty issues 1t was the widest
the street has seen except In panics
1t was really a panic turned upside
down in the some departments of the
market Urgent buying continued to
the close, in several stocks the high
prices being made in the last minute
OF business. Bears were prominent
buyers, but there were also traders on
the long side who followed the market
to the end and went home unsatisfled
because their orders could not be exc
cuted.
Causes for the tumult were easily
seen The most exciting one was the
accumulation OF optimism over the
long holiday. Usually the holidays
favor bearish operations ana for this
reason many a wise Wall Street vet
eran sold short last Thursday. He
had to cover without ceremony today.
The opening was quite and except for
a few high records there was nothing
to indicate the wild day to come. The
quiet opening encouraged floor traders
to attack. They felt about for weak
spots and were able to find none. At
ter a half hour of this kind of selling,
the shorts turned to cover in earnest.
Then there is imitation which is the
one big argument for higher prices.
Everybody deplores it but only a few
seem to realize that it is here for bet
ter or worse.
Call money went to per cent today
but with stocks rising two. three. ten
and even 10 points. interest rates
meant nothing The currency of the
country was expanded some $4,000
900 last week.
Motor stocks attracted most at
tention. Here are the gross advances
in leading ones: General Motors. IL

L. s. Rubber is included in all
motor lists now. It les evident that
the company has fallen into the
hands Of interests identified with the
General Motors.
Mexican Petroleum woke the street
up at the close, advancing Is points

Tobacco shores were erratic Iig-
gett and Myers rose "a and Lori

terially changed.
American WOODEN, with an advance
OF 13 "a points to a new high record
