Dull Trading Leaves Stock
Market About Where
1t Began.
CHEMICALS ADVANCE
Good Buying Of Many Issues
Based on Coming
Convention.

= New York. June 1s.-Another day
of quiet trading left stocks about
where they began. The Chemical
issues were advanced sharply In the
morning. but in the afternoon they
. lost about half the gain. There was
good buying Of many issues based
on a belief that IL the Democratic
party is serious in its proposition to
insert a wet plank in its platform
the election of Harding will be a
matter Of course. Rails were a lit
tie stronger because the fear of re-
duced dividends is less.
The cotton crop report showed
perfect growing weather and the
crop situation in general seems bet
iter. The iron trade is in a tumble
because of the inability OF the rail-
roads to move out finished products
sor make deliveries of raw materials.
This is causing a cancellation of
steel orders, but that will do the
steel companies no harm because
there Is more businesss than they
can do in the next few years any
how.
A merger of General Chemical.
The Barrett Company, National Ana
line and the Semit Solvay Company
is being arranged. Official an
nouncement may not be made for
some weeks. The companies are
already so interrelated that they are
really one big concern. Great econo-
mics can be introduced by the actual
merger not only in overhead charges,
but in factory operations. .
Vanadium was higher again. In
expectation of largely increased
earnings.
Railroads.
Buying of railroad stocks was
apparently for short account. These
shares havea been sold freely be-
cause reduction of the Chicago and
North Western dividend led the
Street to believe that other high
grade railroads would do likewise,
Crucible steel.
After the market closed Crucible
announced a stock dividend of
1923 per cent and a cash dividend
of 81 a share quarterly. The stock
has been paying So a share quar-
terly. This declaration apparently
justified the professionals who have
been selling the stock the past few
days.
The sale of $4,000 tons Of copper

FOREIGN SILVER MARKET.

Bankers returning from the Far
East attribute the collapse in the
silver market largely to changing
trade conditions in Asia. When
India and China had a large balance
of trade in their favor, they explain,
they were receiving payment OF the
difference in silver. and consequent
ly the. demand for the metal was
large. This legitimate demand was
.heighteaed by the activity of specu-
lators, who desired to capitalize the
situation. In recent months. the ex-
countries In the East have sharply
fallen on, and the demand for silver
has consequsntlr dropped proper
tionately.

Washington. June 22.-The story

Drawn from life in paint, pen and

dozen great. we'll lighted rooms. 1t is
tale of stirring action which they
disclose.
Among the scenes depicted are
| ruined French villages made sacred
forever to Americans because Of
| American blood freely given to tear
them from German hands. There are
the homely, appealing scenes from
behind the lines with happy go lucky
youngsters Of Pershing's division in
billits mixing among the people Of
France, the very old and the very
young people. Here and there are
grim reminders of the great tragedy
in groups of huddled dead in wreck

tide of victory had poured Again.

rain. a trudging. sodden infantry
column Is moving onward thru a sea
OF mud as the artist saw it.; or an
endless line of weary gun teams
drags forward the batteries to blast

AT one point the artist caught and
held for his fellow countrymen the
breathless tensity of q forest out

his cover toward the enemy lines. his
rifle Rugged close with fingers
clinehed about the trigger; at an
other slash Of light from a half

In rooms around the picture dis

things with which the army and the
navy dealt in the war: the guns, the
bombs. the uniforms of ally and en-
envy alike. captured weapons and
German war gear Of many kinds.
These form striking setting for the
epic tale the war artists have pic
tured, probably the only such record
ever assembled for it began with the
army and runs on to the departure

close.

sprint swimmer of the university OF
Iowa swimming team, is to take
some lessons this summer under the
tutelage of the fastest native swim
wers of the South Sea islands OF the
