WHEAT PRICES WILT
IN TODAYS DEALINGS
Defeat of Farm Legislation Is the
Principal Factor in
Grains Decline.
BY the Associated Press.

CHICAGO. June 30.-Defeat of
farm legislation at Washington was
followed by lower prices for all grain
in the early dealings today. Corn and
oats touched bottom levels for this
season. Favorable weather for the
harvest in the Southwest tended also
to weaken values. After an irregular
start, ranging from Il cents decline
to u cent advance, wheat underwent
a material setback all around. Corn
showed more depression than other
grain, opening Il to / II cents off. and
later sagging a little more. Provi-
sions were firm.
Weakness of Liverpool quotations
as well as excellent harvest conditions
and Senate action on farm measures
counted a good deal as a handicap to
friends of higher prices for wheat.
On the other hand, continued high
temperatures in the Spring wheat belt
helped to make September and
December wheat deliveries relatively
firm. as compared with July. .
Considerable notice was taken OF
reports of a tendency developing or
the part of farmers in Kansas to hold
back wheat for higher prices. Over
night purchases here of all grain
were reported as light. Advices from
various quarters indicated that flour
sales are good, but that new export
business in wheat is only moderate.

U. S. Steel Sets New High

BY STUART Z. WEST.

Special Dispatch to The star.
NEW YORK, June 3o.-There
were some very strong spots again
in the market today. Despite the
fact that the Stock Exchange was
facing a three days suspension of
business. the volume of business was
ON the increase. Altogether it was
proved that oldfashioned notions
about holidays and the Summer af-
fecting trading can be easily brushed
aside whenever there is sufficient M
centive for buying movement.
The street was full of reports about
mergers in the automobile industry,
but none Of these got beyond the
rumor stage. Willys-Overland was
especially strong. advancing at one
time nearly . points. Dodge Brothers
"A was also in demand. Nash
Motors rose point or more and
General Motors made n new high for
the present move. Du pont, as
usual, followed the course of General
Motors.
There was some buying in White
Motors, but it was not especially no.
ticeable. On the other hand. Hudson
Motors continued to he freely sup
piled It's weakness cOntrasted with
the strength in most of the other
motor shares. The fact that the earn
ingS so far this year have fallen ne
low the overSanguine expectations
toward the end OF 1925 probably con
stitutes q sufficient reason for the de-
cline in the stock.
Consolidated Cigar was bid up again
on dividend talk. Some time ago all
the outstanding notes of the company
were paid up and so were the ar
rears on the preferred. This opened
the way for the common. Food shares
we're generally strong, especially POS
tum Cereal and National Biscuit, the
last named selling eX dividend. CAN
'ornia Packing had quite revival, ana
when the buying in the stock once
started it proceeded with rush.
United States Steel common mace
pnother new high for all time as II
struck 142. The midweek steel review
looked forward to summer IN the
steel trade considerably above the
average in point of activity. Runway
shares were not as active as various
other groups. but they were strong.
The Jump of more than point in Great

t1on as did the buying of chicago

PRICES ARE FIRM
IN BOND MARKET
Interest Diverted to Stocks.
German Issues Favorites
in Today's Trading.
BY GEORGE r. HUGHES.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, June 3O.-The bond
market suffered again today from the
diversion of interest to stocks, but
prices held firm and the dullness was
not indicative Of weakness.
There was still a sagging tendency
in high-grade railroad mortgages. but
even here there was good demand
for stable blocks in the outside
market, so that the decline from the
high Of the year was not so signifi-
cant as 1t might otherwise have
seemed. At today's prices Atchison
General As at 911a were down a point
and a half and New York Central SIS
at 104 down * points from the 1925
top. More or less similar reactions
were in evidence throughout this part
Of the list, but inquiries at the new
level were evidently increasing.
More Irregularity Seen.
More irregularity showed itself in
the tsecond. grade and speculative rails
than on Tuesday. There was a fur

price. Erie issues were firm, with
some institutional buying in the prior
lien As. New Haven issues were also
we'll supported. especially the con-
vertible 6s of 194S. On the other
hand, Western Maryland As did not
hold the gain of yesterday. when they
duplicated their best previous price.
Price changes in the industrial
group were mixed. Oil obligations
barely held their own and the same
was true Of the local fractions. Un-
usual activity featured trading In
Dodge Brothers 6s at the high of the
movement Steel bonds held around
the previous close.
German obligations still were the
favorites in the foreign group, with
the Rhinelbe Is making another new
high and with further strength in
German General Electric issues.
Framerican Is opened down points
and then recovered the entire loss on
successive sales. Greek Is were up
point. but otherwise prices were
little changed.
