Beck believed to be certain He wrote two or three books. one ot which attracted much attention in Great Britain and brought to him spe- cial honors in that country.

Wall Street Review
By Associated Press

New York, May 2S.-The ebb and flow of quotations on the stock ex- change this week. reflected the con fusing and conflicting conditions still prevailing in the financial, industrial and commercial markets.
 Money rose to 7A per cent on call, the highest rate in several months, due primarily to additional govern mental withdrawals. Leading indus tries disclosed further curtaiIment of production and more dividend read justments were announced.
 The encouraging side of the market was presented by the rails, several of the more important. systems showing substantial reduction of operating costs, with consequent gains in net earnings.
 Violent reactions in the market for international remittances, especially the British rate, implied that Germans acceptance of the reparation terms was only temporary or sentimental fac- tor in that quarter.
 Indications point to the successful flotation of the new French govern ment loan, but the attitude of the Washington administration. respecting additional undertakings by our bank CTS. may cause some revision of re- cent estimates.
 The question of labor costs continue to engage the attention of industria executives, but existing wage sche- dulles are expected to hold. pendin., further downward readjustment of basic commodity prices.

Chicago, May 2s.-Trading in wheat corn and oats was dull and featureless on the Chicago Board of Trade today Only professional traders seemed to be In the market and their trades were mostly of the evening" up variety. Clos Ing prices were generally a fraction higher except for May wheat which was bid up in the final hour for a net gain of 26 to 2%c. July wheat finished # to %c net higher corn options were half cent higher. and oats varied from lower for May to B to Ac higher for other months. Business in July wheat was done with an eye to the action of May. There was some support of deferred deliy- cries on the breaks, but about equal selling orders came out on bufges. Crop reports were somewhat more fla vorable, but the absence of export and foreign exchange developments made the situation took uncertain to admit of extensive trading.
 Corn showed moderate firmness early. but weakened whenever any selling started. Cash houses were on both sids of the market. A difference of 1%c between July and September caused some buying of the former and selling of the latter. Oats followed corn,
