factor, the wheat market today
showed new upturns in prices soon
after the opening. Kansas wheat
prospects were said to point to
decided decrease since May 1, with
some fields being ploughed up and
planted to corn. Rains in Canada
had only a transient bearish effect,
being more or less conterbalanced by
a heavy reduction of the amount of
wheat on ocean passage. The open
ing which varied from unchanged
figures to Il lower. July, los to
1.08h, and September, 1.09, was fol-
lowed by a. slight general sag, and
then by a moderate advance all round.
Corn and oats borrowed strength
from the wheat market. Previous
sellers of corn were buying After
opening at unchanged figures to "a

prices scored light general gains.
Oats started unchanged. July, a.

PRICES FOR LIBERTIES
ARE SLIGHTLY HIGHER
Bonds Hold Steady, Quotations In
dicating Underlying Strength of
Investment Demand.
BY GEORGE Il. HUGHES.

Special Dispatch to The Star
NEW YORK, May 26.-Bond prices
held steady today, remarkably so
considering the recent advance. 1t
was natural to expect a certain
amount of realizing after the gains
of the past few weeks. That quota
tlons held so well was regarded as
proof of the underlying strength of
the investment demand. Money con-
tinued easy with time funds quoted
at 3A to 4 per cent, the extreme low
OF the present movement.
Liberty bonds were generally a
shade higher. First mortgage rails
were strong, examples being Balti-

and Southern Pacific San Francisco
Terminal As. Southern Railway Con-
solidated 5s sold at par, and bonds OF
the grade Oregon, Washington Rail-
mand. In lower grade issues, Rock

Feature Of Speculative Issues.
In speculative bonds, the feature
was the break in the st. Paul issues
following the publication of the April
earnings statement showing an op-
Grating deficit as well as a heavy
lOSS III gross receipts. L lie SHoI l
term As of 1925, dropped nearly two
points, rallying somewhat later. The

and losses were sustained by the
convertible 5s. the refunding 4 rs and
the As of 1884.
The St. Paul has about $48,000,000

at the best the refunding will have
to be done at a higher rate than the
present per cent. Outside the st.

attention today, American Water

AGED RIKISHA FULLER
is ACCLAIMED AS HERO
Saved Six Lives in Yokohama Dis

Give Reward.
Correspondence of The Star and the Chicago

Correspondence of The Star and the Chicago
Daily News.
TOXIC, April Heroic deeds dur
ing the terrible disaster of last
September are still being brought to
light in Toxic and Yokohama, as
delayed recognition of bravery is
Forthcoming. The latest hero to be
acclaimed is Tomikichi Nishiwaki,
f1fty-nine years old. a rikisha puller,
who. for thirty years, had his stand
in front of the Messageries Mari
times Steamship Company offices in
Yokohama.
At the time of the quake, when
Yokohama was leveled and fires were
sweeping toward the bund, Nfshiwakf
dug in the debris of the steam
ship company offices, rescuing M.
NJ A. G.. F'embertaux. head of the
Yokohama offices of the French line,
his wife and four Japanese employees.
When the aged ''Kurumaya' had seen
the six all removed from danger he
made his way with great difficulty to
his humble dwelling, to find it in
ruins and his wife crushed to death.
NJ. Pombertaux and his wife pro-
ceeded to France aboard the refugee
ship Andre Lebon, which was in the
harbor at the time Of the disaster
and had a narrow escape from burn
ing oil. Only recently he wrote to the
Japanese authorities in Yokohama for
the name of his saviour. 1t is re-
ported that both the French and jap
anese authorities are planning to re-
ward Nishiwaki for his heroism.

SHOW MODERATE GAINS.

Er the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, May 26.-Stock prices
moved within narrow and irregular
limits at the opening of today's mar
ket. with an upward tendency in evil
dence. Moderate gains were scored
by most of the industrial leaders with
the exception of American Woolens,
which declined three to four. Lack
awanna moved up a point and Pan
American issues again were active.
REIMBURSEMENT of speculative ac-
counts proceeded at more rapid
pace in later transactions. the for
ward movement being aided by in
dicationS that 4he House of Represent
atives would pass the tax bill today.
Accumulation of the coalers, causing
advances of ] y to points, in Lack
aWanna, Delaware and Hudson and
Norfolk and Western eXerted a tonic
effect on the rest of the list. Sharp
fractional gains were registered by
some of the oils, independent steels,
leather and chemical issues. Produc-
ers and Refiners moved up 1$ and
Congoleum advanced a point. West
ern Pacific common and preferred
stocks both established new 1924 top
prices at 2014 and 66, respectively. For
eign exchange opened steady.
Publication of revised Treasury
figures indicating little danger of a
deficit resulting from the comprom-
fse tax bill was reassuring to stock
traders and buying orders predomi-
mated throughout the morning.
Gains of ] to 2l2 points were scored
by Dupont, Brooklyn, Union Gas, In
ternational Paper. General Electric
. National Lead, Coca Cola, Fisher
Body, Associated Dry Goods and

Sustained demand for railroad shares

COTTON MARKETS.

NEW YORK, May 26.-Cotton prices
Jumped $3.50 bale this morning in
response to very strong Liverpool
cables and bullish crop and weather
reports from Texas and the south

A general increase in commission

which carried October TO 21.22 and
December to 26.3S.
The market opened firm at an ad-
vance Of to 81 points.
There was some local realizing and
Liverpool selling at the advance, but
trade interests were buyers and fur
ther covering sent prices up about
80 to AZ points net higher. Liverpool
cables reported covering on unfa-
vorable weather reports and an I'M
proving spot demand.
Another private report was issued,
making the condition 66.1 and the
indicated crop 11,107.000 bales as of
May 20. These crop figures appeared
to be stimulating commission houses
interest, and a broadening demand
sent prices up to 30.02 for July and
1922 for October, or 80 to 72 points
net higher. July was relatively easy
and several brokers were sellers of
that position against purchases of
new crop months. Prices were within

Most of Issues Advance Despite

lished for April.
INDUSTRIAL SHARES MIXED
American T. G. T. Gives impress
sive Exhibition of
Strength.
BY STUART r. WEST.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK. May 26.-Railway
shares were the leaders in the stock
market today. Most of them went up,
despite the publication Of unfavorable
reports for April. There was a fur
ther rise in Delaware. Lackawanna
and Western and in Delaware and
Hudson.
Pere Marquette Moves Up.
Pere Marquette was pushed up
across so on active trading. Oficial
denial having been given that any in
crease in the dividend is contemplate
ed, the street believes that other rail-
way interests have been buying into
the stock with the view, if not of Sc
curing control. at least of getting
larger representation in the manage
ment. Wabash preferred A was
bought on the possibility of some
thing being done about dividends at
the monthly directors meeting, Sched-
uled for Tuesday.
Similar expectations were enter
taned a month ago and were not
realized. The advance kept on In
Western Pacific issues. the motive
being the prospects OF an advanta-
seous arrangement for the sale of a
part interest in the Rio Grande and
Western. Western Pacific's own
earnings could hardly afford much OF
an incentive. Last year the per
cent dividend was barely covered
and so far this year, earnings have
been running at the rate of less than
~ per cent.
IndustriaIs Much Mixed.
Industrial shares were much mixed
There was another sharp run-up in
International Paper and Producers
and Retiner was bought on reports
that the Prairie Oil and Gas, which
seeking to increase its holding :.
other oil shares did little. The mar
ket for American Telephone and Tele-
graTh. which is always well handled,
gave another rather impressive eX-
hibition of strength. Operations for
the rise in Philadelphia and Reading
Coal were checked when the annual
report appeared, showing less than SO
a share earned on the stock. Fresh
selling broke out in the rubber and
tire shares, United States Rubber and
Kelly Springfield particularly. I'm
favorable trade reports were once
more responsible for this weakness.
St. Paul shows Shrinknge.
Selling came into st. Paul issues,
both bonds and stocks. on the pub
lication of the April report This
showed remarkable shrinkage as
compared with a year ago-S2,4 600

Railway shares continued to push
ahead in the later afternoon under
the lead of Norfolk and Western and

There was demand at rising
prices for Missouri Pacific preferred,
for Baltimore and Ohio and for Rock

TOXIC. May 10.-The municipal
council has approved the general
plans for the installation of fifty
miles of subways at an estimated cost
of 20o,000,OOO yen (s10o,OoO,Oo0). The
work is expected to start in the near
future following the letting of con-

The Foundation Company of New

the contract as their representative
has long been advising and co-operat-
ing in the preliminary work of the
project. The plans specify that there
shall be six distinct lines crossing
the city. There will be twelve sub
urban terminals. The subways
when completed will fill an urgent
need for greater transportation
facilities and will aid in the ultimate
realization of the greater Toxic"
