market was generally stronger to-
day with trading covering broad
range. There were substantial raj
lies in most of the stocks which

houses did more business but the
traders devoted most of their at
tention to the Petroleum issues.
Tobacco products when issued
was traded in for the first time and
sold off, the common stock yielding
over a point and the A stock about
two points Other tobacco shares
however, were quiet with little to
feature them, trading was also be-
gun in the new stock OF the reor-
ganized International and Great
Northern railroad company On a
good sized turnover, this stock
gained two points or so. Motor is
sues were moderately active, but
with varying price changes. The
feature of this group was Daniels
Motors, which was in good de-
mand.
Standard Oil subsidiaries were
once more the leaders of the oil
group. There was q particularly
lively rise in Standard Oil of New
York, up as high as 20 points and
in Prairie Pipe line up about IL.
Anglo American Oil and Atlantic
Lobes shared in the Improvement.
Creole Syndicate shared new high
on dealings. Mutual Oil was an
other stock which went through

STARTS
STRONG TAKES
DROP AT NOON
(By Consolidated Press.)

Chicago, June Wheat was as
weak at midday as it was strong at
the start and it was hard to under.
stand the change in sentiment. Ev-
eryone seemed to feel that the
market was going to do better be-
fore the start and they governed
themselves accordingly. They were
encouraged to buy by the strength
in cables and the market reduction
in receipts and these factors elm
mated some of the short interest.
The market held well for a time
and bulls gained confidence whea
they learned that 1900 bushels. of
cash wheat had been sold to export
ers over night. Some interests
claimed that the people who bought
the wheat hedged it in July, indi-
eating the wheat was unsold. Later
northwest interests sold and there
was heavy selling by a house con-
nected with the long side of the de-
funct May deal. This pressure
brought out liquidation and stop
loss selling. On the break shorts
took profits. Snow estimated the
wheat crop at S64 100000 bushels
of winter and spring.
Trade in corn was mostly local.
Prices followed the trend of wheat.
A feature of the late break was the
liquidation Of extensive long hold
ings by some of the larger profess
sionals. Cash demand for corn has
dropped off. Receipts continue of
good volume. Weather is too cool
and wet in spots.
! Oats followed the trend of lead
ing cereals. Pressure developed
when other grains started their
downward journey. The demand
for cash oats is not so good as of
Late.
Provision trade was unimportant
and of small volume. Price changes
were of little Importance.

WIDE RANCE IN TRADING.

Operations in the industrial Sec
ton covered an unusually large
number Of individual stocks. Most
or these movements were merely
the continuation of pool activities.
The largest merger rumor linked
Mack Truck with White Motors and
both stocks had a sharp advance.
The street seemed to think that if
there were a combination, there
would be an equal exchange of
Mack Common for White Motors,
the White followed the rise in the
Mack stock, although several points
in the rear. According to the trad
ing element the critical point in
General Asphalt was 67k and it
was regarded as a decided bull
point, when the stock was strong
enough to get through this figure.
BURNS BROTHERS.
Recent buying of Burns Brothers
B has been inspired by the belief
that at the next meeting scheduled
for little over month from now,
the dividend will be raised to a
four per cent basis. Those in a po-
sition to know admit that a higher
dividend is likely later in the year.
They say, however, that the rate
will not be raised while the coal
strike is on. If the strike is over
before the next meeting a higher
dividend is quite probable.
AMERICAN SUGAR
1t is reported that during the
first quarter of 1922, American
Sugar earned 20 per cent of its
preferred dividend requirements
for the full year. This earning
power for the first three months
expressed in terms of interest on
bonded Indebtedness is expected to
cover fully the years interest

acted while the measure was in
committee.
The opposite impression is held
by others who believe Mr.. Harding
is really anxious to get the measure
ure out of committee and on the
floor of the senate where he can
again make an address urging post
ponement. The question is whether
Mr.. Harding, who knows what sup
port the measure has, will risk
conspicuous rundown by the sem
ate or whether he will prefer to
wait until the measure comes to
him and express himself explicitly
in a veto measure in which he can
put all his arguments and depend
upon the effect of the communica-
tion to prevent congress from over
riding the veto.
Sure To Pass.
The danger in such course
from the viewpoint of those who
want to see the measure fail of pas
sage is that on the first vote prob
ably enough senators will become
committed affirmatiEely as to make
impossible a reversal on a later
vote
All indications now point to the
passage of the measure despite the
efforts made by interpreters of re-
cent elections to persuade members
of congress that the bonus is un-
popular and a vote against it will
help them next autumn as much as
it will hurt. Reporting the bill out
of the finance committee is a step
forward in the slow but steady
march of the bonus through both
houses of congress.
