London, April 10Th. Great 8ritain's
informal diplomatic contract with S0yiet
Russia. effective for the last two years
through the maintenance Of trade mis-
sions in London and Moscow will be con-
tinued, it was stated today in official
circles. despite the recent strainiEg Of
relations due to the Bolshevik war on
religion and the insulting Soviet notes
in answer to the B itish protests while
the present Soviet methods Of handling
foreign relations are highly unpleasant,
generous allowances are made for the
Bolsh9vistS who, officially, as we'll as
~p1DlIarly, are sill considered In England
as quite unciviiized in their regard to
Diplomatic forms and customs. 1t is
stated that the chief task of the British
mission in Moscow is that of observation,
which. under the present system, it is
possible to carry on with accredited Off
Gals. The British believe this method
of watching developments in Russia is
better than the unofficial indirect s%urveil-
lance upon which countries without re-
p~resentaIives in Russia must rely.

SELLING PRESSURE
CHECKS RALLY IN
TRADING IN CURB

NEW YORK, May 15.-The rally
in the stock prices which began
Monday was carried through the first
hour of today's curb market before
1t was checked by a resumption of
selling pressure against some of the
recent speculative favorites.
Failure of the longs" to maintain
the early advance encouraged re-
sumption of short selling which met
sitter resistance. Prices see-sawed
during the latter part of the season
with changes narrow and irregular.
Gulf Oil of Pennsylvania moved
against the current trend showing a
net gain of IA points. Carib Syn
ports that the Texas company would
exercise its option on 81 per cent of
the stock, part of its expansion pro-
gram. Prairie Oil and Gas jumped
5h points on a small turnover;
Magnolia Petroleum 2. and Ohio Oil
l. Cities Service lost nearly 3
points. Wall Street heard rumors
that this company was to follow the
lead of other independents
and enter the Rocky Mountain region.
Standard Oil issues fluctuated with
in narrow limits.
Some erratic fluctuations took
place in Glen Alden which closed at
a net loss OF points Durant Mo-
actions totalling less than 1900
shares. REQ Motors and Radio com
mon were active, closing fractionally
higher. Foreign tobaccos appeared
to advantage for the first time in
several weeks.
Changes in the mining group were
relatively unimportant.

WHEAT BULLS ARE
GIVEN ADVANTAGE
IN SPITE OF RAIN

CHICAGO, May 15.-Indications of
better outlook In the export trade
tended to give wheat bulls some ad-
vantage today. despite rainy weather
likely to benefit the winter crop.
Prices closed firm. unchanged to &c
higher. July s1.15A to s1.13s and
September s1.13s4 @s1.135s. Corn
scored X to ssc gain. oats u to &c
and provisions sc to 15c
Reports that Great Britain and
France had been purchasing at
quoted values helped to lift wheat
prices and there was a notable alb
sence of liquidation. Speculative
selling developed at times, but buy
ing support was forthcoming and the
market closed with something of
bulge brought about by short cover
ing.
A decrease of more than 6500,000
bushels in the Canadian visible sup
ply of wheat received considerable
attention as a bulsh factor as did
word that demand appeared to be i'm
proving for Gulf wheat. with some
inquiry for new crop hard wheat.
For the most part a disposition was
shown to regard the selling side as
temporarily hazardous. May delivery
in particular was wanted and COM
manded a wider premium.
In view of small receipts, corn
and oats displayed some firmness.
Besides shipping call for oats here
appeared to have increased.
Higher quotations on hogs were
more or less responsible for the ad-
vance of the provision market.
