Urge U. S. Transports
For Lake Grain Trade

WASHINGTON, June l8.-Use OF
government owned transports on the
Great Lakes as grain carriers to re-
heve the car shortage and increase
grain transportation was suggested to
the Interstate Commerce Commission
to-day by Clifford Thorne, of Chicago,
representing the National Farmers
Grain Dealers Association
Mr. Thornc said the commission was
advised that the government had a
fleet of fifty or sixty transports on the
lakes capable of carrying grain to New
York by way Of Buffalo and asked that
the commission investigate the FEAST
bility of the plan.
Discussing the proposed freight rate
increase, Mr.. Thorne said the farmers
urged careful check to keep the rate
increases on grain within the bounds
of traffic as whole, because the ulti-
mate burden must be borne by the con-
sumer.
Walter E. Mccormack, of Chicago,
representing Iowa packers, asked the
restoration of rate relationships on

Most Of the action in yesterdays 8

in the news, stocks suddenly took on a
more vigorous tone of strength, which
brought substantial recoveries in many
issues, especially the industrial shares.

tirely from the professional bears, who
evidently were desirous of covering IN

rumors of impending favorable d>ve:op-
mcnts in connection with the better
tone displayed by stocks, but they were
not credited and the movement was
considered in many quarters as reac-
tion from an oversold condition.

Harding on the Railroads

In seeking the Republican Presiden-
tial candidates views on the railroads.
Wall Street has had to go back as far
as December 10, 1914, to find that even
then he was in favor of an increase in
rates. The occasion Of the expression
of Senator Harding's views was an
address before the Railway Business
Association, during which he said: 81
believe it is the opinion of 80 of every
100 thinking people that the railways
of the country are entitled to an in
crease in rates and would gladly see it
granted. The thinking citizen not
only desires that the railroads shall be
able to exist in dull times and earn to
meet their obligations, but they are
entitled to a rate which will permit
them to earn profit in fortunate
years which may be turned to better
ment when the lull comes" Wall
Street argues that if the Senator held
this view six years ago he certainly
holds the same opinion now. OF more
immediate interest to the financial
district and the railroads, however, is
the belief that the Interstate Com
merce Commission is going to hasten
its hearings on the rate application

Welcomes Price Revision

After sketching the recent price de-
cline, the National Bank of Commerce
in review o. the situation, says: "a
downward price movement, if gradual
and orderly, is to be welcomed both
as an evidence OF the return of more
orderly conditions and as a factor in
accomplishing that return Such a
movement in the prices of basic com
moditles is now clearly evident" The
bank further reminds its customers
that "a decline in prices can only be
brought about by a falling off in de
mand, an increase in the physical vol
umc of production, decrease in the
volume of credit and money. or by
these various causes working together.
1t was not to be expected that the in
dustrlal community could maintain the
high tension under which i. had
worked during the war years, and it
IS very doubtful as to whether the
maintenance of this tension would have
been desirable"

ably by the governing committee the
brokers could leave the Street on the
Friday night preceding and not return
until the following Tuesday, as the
Fourth will be observed on Monday by
the country at large Although the
exchange governors refused to grant a
similar petition to close on the Satur-
day preceding Memorial Day, which
also fell on Sunday, there seems to be
a good chance that they will vote in
favor of the three-day holiday over the
Fourth, unless, as one governor stated,
the Democratic convention promises de-
velopments which may make it advis-
able to remain open.

Prices were lower during the eariv
trading because of unfavorable trade
news. but the possibility of another
wet spell in the belt started active

up from 3l.30 to 3505. They closed
Mt 34.90, with the general market clos

higher. Near months were relatively
easy, and one Of the trading features
was the transfer Of long contracts
from July to October
Cnfavora BILE features in the general
trade situation seemed to be the promi
nont factor on the early decline. Ac.
cOrding to reports from Boston. warn
stocks there were accommodating. and il
was reported that cotton yarn spin

curtail their production by one-third.
The market opened at decline of

sold 20 70 25 points net lower shortly
after the call, with October touching

There was a little trade buying on
this decline, which helped s, STEADY
prices, and the market became firmer
when reports reached the ring that
precipitation ranging up to three
inches hNa fallen at some points in

cent dry weather would have been
considered beneficial, but il was feared
tnat the rainfall had been excessive
