WINTER WHEAT
IN BIG DEMAND;
CORN STRONG
fBv Consolidated Press


Chicago, June 27.-Bullish senti-
ment was again predominant in the
wheat market. A lack of selling
pressure was noted at the start and
this led to some short coverings
there was some buying by cash
houses presumably against sales of
cash wheat to exporters. A strong
feature was demand for winter
wheat from exporters and there
were strong bids here for both red
and hard wheat CIF Buffalo. The
advance brought out some commits
sion house selling. Later reports
said that there were about 10000
bushels of No and No. 8 red
wheat sold to local and outside
mills on the basis of lac over for
the former and sc under July for
the latter. Weather conditions
were ideal for the growing spring
wheat crop, but wet weather has
interfered with the harvest in parts
of the west and southwest. Cables
were lower.
Cron showed strong tone large
ly because of the lack of selling

house selling on the advance. Crop
news was highly favorable and
beneficial rains were again report
ed over many of the dry spots Cash
demand was moderate. Seaboard
reported good export demand for
corn.
Oats were fiTmer on local buy
ing induced by unfavorable crop
reports. Elevator interests were
transferring hedges. Cash demand
was slow Excellent condition of
pastures in New England territory

Provisions were firmer. There
was scattered buying induced by

.DAUGHTER-N-LAW
rs PUNISHED FOR
MARRYING AGAIN

Paris.-A woman's attempt to
punish her daughter-in-law for
marrying again after her husband
death in the war has just been ex-
posed here
An elderly woman in Touraine
informed the ministry of war that
she had recognized her son in one
OF six photographs published by the
newspapers of insane soldiers, for
mer prisoners of war in Germany
returned after the armistice in a
complete state of amnesia, unaware
of their identity.
The wife of the missing soldier.
having long ago given up her hus-
band as dead, had just been mar
ried a second. time, and in the
midst of her new honeymoon she
was instructed to come to Paris
and identify her first husband.
Greatly perturbed, she visited the
hospital accompa MED by her moth
er-in-law, who greeted her son"
effusively.
That is not my husband" shout
ed the young woman, and acQuaint-
ances of the missing soldier sum
moned also failed to recognize
him, some of them even saying
that there was not the slightest re-
semblance.
The older woman broke down
and told the officials:
I've known right along he wasn't
my son, but l wanted 10 teach his
wife a lesson; she had no business
getting married again"

Copyright. 19Z2.D

New York, june 27.-Some hest
tation was in evidence in the dry
goods market today but the volume
of trading was not materially les
sened. Sheetings were the early
feature of the trading and a good
business was done in these goods.
Drills, twills- and sateens were in
demand and some trading was re-
corded in pajama checks. Stand
ard print cloths were firm. The
call Tor fine goods was fairly ac-
tive. Prices were well maintained
at current levels throughout
The trading in raw silk was large
Iy confined to filling in orders by
manufacturers and the market was
not active.
WOOL.
Boston, June 27.-Trading on the
wool market today was steady but
dull. Manufacturers still confined
the purchases TO immediate neceS-
stiles and the buying in the west
was also reported on a quieter
scale with prices well below the
high point reached in the first part
of the month. Buyers in Montana
and Wyoming were cautious with
prices ranging in general from 35c
to CSC unsecured compared with 40c
and N41c previously paid Some
South American wool has been
taken out of bond here and shipped
to Europe.

BY STUART P. WEST
(Copyright. 1927

New York, June 27.-Trading was
dull today in the bond market, but

vanced in several instances on

trail issues were prominent, the de-
benture selling at104, cent below
the market for which they became
a call ON New York Central stock

selling. The inactive Atlantic and
Charleston Airline AIS got up
nearly three points above their last
previous sales. New York City
Traction bonds lost their slight
gains on Monday
Liberty bonds kept close to last
nights final prices. French issues
were a shade easier. Mexican gov

Chicago, June 27-Railway union
officials continued their confer
ences today on the threatened rail-
road strike.
With informal statements by I'M
ion leaders indicating that the
strike referendum of shopmen,
maintenance of way employees and
clerks throughout the United States
discloses a strong sentiment in ia
vor of a strike as a protest against
wage reductions, J. c. Smock, as
sistant president of the mainten-
ance of way men, predicted the
walkout would be called on July
Is. Others said conferences with
railroad officials would probably
delay the call until Aug. l.
Word came out of the secret con-
ferences that a meeting of union
executives within the next few days
might include the Big Four"
brOtherhoods of trainmen. who are
unaffected by the wage cut decis-
ions of the railroad labor board.

MEXICAN OILS.

Mexican Petroleum again loaned
at the regular rate, that is, without
the borrower having to make any
concession to the lender either in
the shape of foregoing interest or
or paying premium. This is the
most effective reply to the talk of
a corner that persists despite the
result of the stock exchange in
quiry, which rejected fatty the idea
OF corner or of anything abnor-
NAL except the fact OF a very small
floating supply brought about by
natural means. At present selling
prices Mexican Petroleum is worth
American B. Attention Is being
drawn to this in connection with
rumors that the Pan-American is
abou to offer another exchange of
its stock TO outside holders of Mex
lean Petroleum on better terms
than the original offer, which was
to /. It is not generally appre-
ciated that Pan-American last year
more than earned the Sc dividend
on the combined common and class
stock on its own operations, in
dependent of the Mexican Petrol
cum. The Mexican Petroleum divi-
dends along with the other sources
of outside income produced an ad-
ditional $3.50, bringing the total up
to nearly $13.
COPPER STOCKS.
No group of stocks has been more
discouraging all through this year
campaign than the coppers, dis
couraging all through this year s
campaign than the coppers. dis
curaging, that is, from the stand
point Of the active trader. In no
other direction is the public so
largely committed at higher prices
This is one reason for the unsatis-
factory behavior of the copper
stocks. Yet withal there are more
signs at the moment then there
have been at any time that the cop
per industry is not far from an
other upward turn. A prominent
Broadway house, usually well in
formed on the copper situation, de-
clared in this mornings letter that
the copper metal was getting
scarce, that Big manufacturers had
only six weeks supply on hand,
and that the Anaconda is belived 10
be selling all it's available copper
to its subsidiaries, the American
Brass company.
