Chicago Grain Market.

CHICAGO, June IA. - Grains
opened generally higher today. At
Liverpool wheat was up Is to y
pence at 2 o'clock. Here first quota
tons were:
Wheat, July Silly Oh; Septem-
Der, $1.O91A @5s; December, $1.12A @
~.
Corn, July s1H@zs cents: septem-
Der, TIKI cents; December CT cents.
Oats, July, 41% cents; September,
377s cents; December 393s @h cents.
Rye, July TIKI cents; September,
10 cents.
Wheat met with some buying by
prominent commission houses with
Eastern connections. First offerings
were small, but they increased on
the uptuEn. Trade was light. The
corn trade was light with some
selling of December on the better
weather. Oats offerings were limited
and trade small.
One house today says:
1.-THE firmness in Winnipeg and at
Buenos Aires yesterday caused some
support abroad. Export takings are
moderate, however. Weather condi-
tons are a little more favorable. A
two-sided market is indicated.
1.-The conditions in corn are not
bearish and with the moderate re-
ceipts and decreasing stocks, the pit
market will be easily congested.
Oats will follow corn, but yesterday
the oats were relatively weak"

NEW YORK, June 1.-THE
railroads of the country have by
no means passed the peak OF trans
portation business for this year"
Newman Erb, president Of the Ann
Arbor System, said today. While
recognizing the numerous problems
with which railroad leaders Of the
country are confronted. Mr.. Erb
hopefully looks forward to the time
when these will be solved and the
railroads will again be functioning
at high rate of efficiency.
Asked to state briefly his con-
ception Of the railroad problem,
Mr.. Erb said:
I'VE have in this country I'll
separate railroad lines and the
country is dependant on their CO.
ordination for its transportation
service. Just as it would be hope
less to expect complete unanimity
of opinion among I'll leaders of
business or legislation in this or
any other country, so it is hopeless
to look for complete harmony in
the operation OF the these dispOint-
ed lines. They differ in the SER
vice they are called upon to render.
in their equipment needs and in
their financial requirements.
Two methods have been sug-
gested for the solution of the rail-
road problem, the first being the
intelligent grouping of the roads
into a small number of systems,
and the second, Government owner
ship and operation. In my opinion,
the latter would impose burdens in
the shape of financial deficits,
which would be seriously objection
able to the American taxpayer.
1.-THE grouping OF the roads into
a small number of strong transport
tation systems under intelligent
Federal CONTROL said Mr.. Erb,
would stabilize their credit, as
sure coordination in operation and
enable the roads to furnish the
terminal facilities and euipment
adequate to the public needs. This
is the only possible solution of the
railroad problem"

IRREGULAR TONE
MARKS STOCK
TRADING
RaIIying Tendencies Feature
Trading After Bear Drive
at Opening.
BY Cosmopolitan News Service.

NEW YORK, June 14.-Another
selling movement, especially direct
ed against the steel and oil groups,
followed by rallying tendencies
marked the first two hours trading
on the stock exchange today. The
confusing and erratic fluctuations
in yesterdays markets acted as a
deterrent to bullish inititive and
bear operators launched drives
against recognized market leaders.
They took steel commons as their
main point of attack, encouraged
by the mid-week trade reports that
activity in the industry had slack
ened somewhat and that the maxi
mum capacity Of operations during
May had not been fully maintained.
Large blocks of steel were thrown
upon the market at the opening,
causing loss of point to 9419.
Pressure against the oil stocks
was persistent throughout, reflect
ing another increase In crude oil
production which gained Al 800 bar
rels in the week ending June 8 as
compared with the previous week.
Sinclair oil was heavily sold, maxi
ing a new low at 25 for a loss of
more than point Producers and
Refiners. Mexican Seaboard and
the Standard Oil shares were under
constant pressure and from a frac-
ton to a point lower.
Weakness in tire stocks was
again in evidence, rejecting the re-
duction in tire prices. Kelly Spring
field was forced down " point to
S8a, new low for the year.
Shipping shares touched new
lows in the case of marine pfd at
26 and Atlantic Gulf and West
Indies at 1917.
The steadiness of the railroad
stocks made a sharp contrast. 1t
was due to car loading figures,
showing daily average loadings
were at unprecedented levels for the
season. New York Central was
somewhat lower due to profit TAX
ing, but renewed buying appeared
in. Atchison and Wabash, pfd. A,
both improving nearly a point to
1902 and 31A, respectively.

CARS FOR CROPS
SHORT AGAIN,
REPORT
Officials Fear Loss of More
Millions to the West-Rail
Heads Deny Assertion.

While official reports to Govern
ment bureaus forecast another Sc
we're car shortage this fall when the
seasonal movement of crops gets
under way, the American Railway
Association, in a statement today,
declared that enough empty cars are
moving west to fully meet all de-
mands in the western agricultural
sections this fall"
There are actually on hand in
Texas and Kansas today" said the
statement, sufficient grain cars to
take care of the crops in first-class
shape. From April 16 to June 8
were delivered in Chicago and ST.
Louis to Western railroads by East
ern lines, while approximately 1000
empties are now being sent daily to
points west of the Mississippi to be
held there until crops are ready to
be moved"
A total of $3.50 new box cars
have been put in service since Janu-
airy /, the statement said.
! The claims of the American Rail-
way Association are distinctly at
variance with Government reports,
which forecast another car shortage
comparable with last falls, when
growers and producers of the West
lost millions of dollars because Of
lack Of shipping facilities.
In February Secretary Of Com
merce Herbert Hoover testified be-
fore the Interstate Commerce Com
mission that the nation was short
nearly $4,000 cars by conservative
estimate. Other authorities placed
the shortage as high as 100000.
Only $4,000 new cars have been
added this year, and many Of these
were requirements rather than added
stock, according to the associations
own figures.

DAILY PRODUCTION OF OIL
IN LULING FIELD NOW
PLACED AT $4,000 BARRELS
Completion of Mills-Mercer No. OF United North
and South Adds 5000 Barrels-Another Wild
cat Test Spudded In.

One well that has caused attention
from the operators is the test of the
Dancinger Oil Company on the Mea-
dows lease. This well struck heavy
gas pressure and the hole is carrying
extra heavy fluid in the holt to keep
back the gas. The well was located
by a well known geologist and struc-
ture conditions were carefully noted.
This test will open a wide extension
to the field.
With the spudding in of the B. n.
Cogdell we'll on the III. L. 'Roden-
burg tract last week a development
financed b. Eastland and West Texas
operators, keen interest is being taken
in This section of the Luling field. 1t
is the intention Of these people to drill
three wells.
May Shoot Wells.
II. A. Black, better known as
"Blackie, the Shooter" who has been
shooting wells for over 80 years, has
been called to Luling by some of the
operators to consider the ACCESSIBILITY
of shooting some of the wells to stim-
ulate production and also is doing
some reclamation work on some wells.
He has just finished some work on
the Fields Beauchamp well. In shoot
ing wells a new formula called For
masite is being used.
Good progress is being made on the
Kennedy, Thorman, Reilly test on the
Cole lease, northeast of the Luling
field. This we'll is being financed by
San Antonio investors and there has
been quite number of leases sold
outside of the state. This company
has over 1000 acres of leases and
were made by structure expert well
posted in the game. The San Anto-
Mo end of the business being handled
By II. l.. Thorman, we'll known realty
man. Sam Reilly of San Antonio is
in charge of the business in Luling
doing business under the firm name of
the Luling Leasing and Royalty Com
pany.
Considerable gas has been encoun-
tered in the Grady No. 1 well of the
Luling Petroleum Company near Jo-
liet at 1900 feet. This well appears
in the line of production and should
be large producer.
Bill McGinn. well known publicity
man and chamber of commerce secre-
tary. is in charge of the Luling or
ganiaztion. Operators and scouts are
always glad to find Mr.. McGinn in
an oil town, he being one of the best
posted men in the game.
A number of Luling citizens are
anxious to have well drilled on the
TOWNSHIP and n nice piece of acreage
il is reported can be obtained by some
live operators who will drill.

DRILLS SEVEN WELLS
Royals No. 2 Tabor Making 1900
Barrels Into Field Line.

The Royal Oil company's No. 2
Tabor which was brought in about
ten days ago is making 1900 barrels
of oil daily and is flowing steadily
into the National Petroleum com
pany's field line here, according to j.
Wylie King, local real estate man
and director of the company.
Mr.. King made a visit to the field
last week. He SAYS he believes that
the second well brought in by his
company is the best producer of the
two. 1t is also one Of the best wells
in the entire Luling pool. The No.
. well is few feet deeper than the
No. i. The No. ! is making 400
barrels of clean oil daily into the
field line.
The Royal Oil company is drilling
four more wells on the Tabor lease
and announces that it expects to spud
in n fifth soon, which would total
seven producing or drilling wells. The
No. 3 is drilling around 1900 feet,
No. 4 is drilling around 100 feet and
the Nos. 3 and @ have just been
spudded in.
The Royal Oil company has leased
n J0-acre tract about one-half mile
northwest of the Tabor lease and ex-
poets to put down a test there short
ly.
