EARLY downturn
IN WHEAT PRICES
Weakness in Liverpool Mar
ket Reflected Here-Corn
and Oats Lower.
By the Associated Press.

CHICAGO, May 21.-Cnexpected
weakness of wheat quotations at
Liverpool led to an early downturn
today in wheat prices here. The
Liverpool decline was ascribed to IA
vorable weather throughout Europe
and the British estimates that the
new European wheat crop would be
$4,000, 900 bushels larger than last
year, with the European rye crop
200.000,000 bushels larger. On the
other hand, domestic crop damage
reports continued today both from
Spring and Winter wheat territory.

MOT0RS.LEADERS
IN FINAL TRADING
Many Shares Highest for Day
as Wall Street List Closes
Strong.
BY STUART p. WEST.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK. May 27.-The success
sion of new high prices which has
been a feature of the Stock Exchange
dealings recently, continued today. 1t
took in numerous industrials, includ-
ing several preferred stocks, one or
two of the public utilities and num-
ber of specialties. The market kept
active and generally strong. with out
side interest apparently on the In
crease.
The principal advances Of the day
occurred in stocks where 1t takes very
little buying to put prices up. La
clede Gas jumped 10 points on the
sale Of a single 100 shares.
International Telephone and Tele-
graph rose with considerable violence
on the publication Of the annual re-
port. which disclosed over SIS earned
IN 1924. Westinghouse Air Brake was
bid up briskly, and the rise in Beech
nut revived reports of a possible
merger with the Postum Co. Also
there was talk Of a stock dividend.
Smelling Crosses Par.
American Smelling was very strong.
crossing par again and advancing
rapidly. The fact that it was not ac-
Companied by any general move in the
coppers and other related shares, sug-
gested a special explanation. The
market has for some time been hear
ing about a larger distribution, quite
possibly in stock.
Central Leather preferred ran up
over points, and there was special
buying in Owens Bottle. The list of
new high records included Phillip
Morris, Consolidated Cirgar, the Max
we'll Motors issues. Ahumador Lead,
American Water Works, Eaton Axle,
Paige Detroit, Spear & Co, Interna-
tional Cement and Marlin-Rockwell.
Among the regularly more active
shares Studebaker and Hudson Motor
distinguished themselves with new
tops for the year. Goodyear preferred
was up some points.
New Motor Shares Taken Up.
Other motor shares were in demand,
among them Chandler and Moon
Stewart-Warner ran up on talk of an
extra dividend.
In the railway section Northern Pa
cific was strong. and Chesapeake and
Ohio at one stage was selling points
higher. But as a rule the rails were
comparatively neglected.
A noteworthy exception to the
strength shown in most directions was
the International Mercantile Marines,
where earnings are said to be falling
below expectations. despite the big
year for high-priced foreign travel and
the supposed improvement in the
freight-carrying trade.
Studebaker Is Feature.
Strength in Studebaker Corporation
reflected not only the belief that the
stock had been selling out of line in
comparison with other automobile
shares recently, but also the favora-
BILE earnings and financial position of
the company. Studebaker'S net profits
for the second quarter are expected
to be around SO a share, and it is
predicted that in the first six months
the corporation will have covered its
dividend requirements for the full
year
More light was thrown on the re-
cent strength in American Ice by the
report that earnings for 1925 will be
much better than has been generally
expected.

MARKET CLOSES STRONG.
Spirited Bidding for Motor Issues in
Last Hour.

NEW YORK, May 27 CED.-Renewal
of the demand for motor and public
utility shares featured today's rising
stock market. The advance in many
issues was stimulated by urgent short
covering. Establishment of record
1925 car loadings for the week ended
May 10, higher gasoline prices and
reports of an improved demand for
steel had bullish effect on sentiment.
Total sales approXimated 1900, 900
shares.
The closing was strong. Spirited
bidding for the motor issues continued
through the late trading, Maxwell B
extending its gain to nearly points
by touching los, and Mack Truck
moving up points to 184A. Interna-
tional Telephone scared over 10 points.
