GENERAL MOTORS
ESTABLISHES A
HIGH RECORD
(By Dispatch A. P. wire)

NEW YORK, July 29.-The common
stocks of the General Motors corpora
ton and United States Steel corpora
ton, two of the largest industrial con-
Germs in the world, advanced to new
high records for all time today in one
of the greatest buying demonstrations
ever witnesses on the New York Stock
Exchange.
General Motors scared 12B to 191 B
or an extreme gain of nearly "a points
in two days and over rs points above
the leayr's lowe established on March
29. Total transactions in this issue to-
day ran close to 100000 shares, bring
ing the weeks total to around 1,00O,-
600 shares, or over one-sixth of the en-
tire amount of stock outstanding. u.
S. Steel, common, advanced 3b to 146K
on, total sales of over 100000 shares, as
against low of III a few months ago.
The sensational advance in these is
sues, which has overshadowed all 9TH
er developments in the stock market in
recent weeks, has been credited in Wall
street to powerful speculative group
headed by William c. Durant the au-
tomobile manufacturer.

GRAIN MARKET.
(By Dispatch A. P. wire)

CHICAGO, July 29.-Sensational re-
duced unofficial estimates of the 1926
wheat yield in the Canadian prairie
provinces brought about lively up
turn of wheat values today. Closing
quotations on wheat were strong at
virtually the days top figures, 2H cents
to 3h cents net higher with corn "
cent to y cent up, oats unchanged to
B cent off, and provisions varying
/ from 25 cents declines to 10. cents
gains. @
The newest Canadian crop estimate
came from leading Chicago expert
who has made an extensive tour of the
spring wheat belt, who says hot wealth
er and insufficiency of moisture have
greatly curtailed wheat prospects in
the last month. His forecast is much
below any other recent figures, and is
roundly 100000,O00 bushels less than
was harvested last year in the Ca
madam territory referred to. Accord
ing to this authority, the three prairie
provinces will harvest this year not
to exceed 279,O0O,OOO bushels-Manitoba
35, 100000 bushels, Saskatchewan 1885,
600, 900 and Alberta 4S,000,000.
All unexpected rise III WHedC quota
tions at Liverpool contributed further
strength to the wheat market. Besides
the weather map failed to show rains
which had been reported in Canada,
and the forecast was for fair and warm
conditions there, undesirable at pres
ent.
Meanwhile, export business today
amounted to 100000 bushels and the

Mr.. chrysler is a native
Kansas and began at the bottom
in the railroad business.
He worked for such roads as the
Union Pacific. the santa Fe the
Rio Grande and Western. the
Colorado and Southern and finally
the Chicago and Great Western.
He concluded his railroad career
as general manager Of the Amer
lean Locomotive Company at Pitts
burgh.
Mr. Chrysier;s automobile exper-
fence dates TO 1911 and he was the
first man in the industry to put
production on large scale basis.
Mr.. ChryaIer,s whole life has
been Identified with transportat ton.
first with the railroads and then
with motor cars.
Back in 1911 Mr.. Ghrysler began
to see the possibilities OF motor
vehicuIar transportation.
He had witnessed a great railroad
expansion. He noticed that rail.
roads had stopped expanding their
lines.
Their locomotive purchases Wer0
largely for replacement purposes.
The motor car was to be the
means OF transportation OF the
future.
But Mr.. Chrysler's railroad ex.
Deriences have served him Wei.
Today, Mr.. ChrysIer In recognized
authority in mechanical construc-
ton.
Mr.. Chrysler knows about tools
and machine processes. He knows
how to use tools and machines in
competitive manufacture.
So today Mr.. Chrysler although
the executive head OF great bust
ness corporation, still practises q
marvellous mechanical ability. There
Is not a machine in his many fac
tories with whose operation ne -
not fully familiar.
Keen student Of Traffic
Mr.. Chrysler's experience in build
ing locomotives he's proved valuable.
In building motor cars.
In the alternative industry the
keenest kind OF competition has re-

And the progressive companies OF
today are those which engage con-

Americas Terms to
France the Best,
Word Sec. Mellon

Washington, July 16.-(P)-Amer-
lea has given France more generous
debt terms than has England or any
other creditor. Secretary Mellon told
the world today in a formal state
ment. issued just before he depart
ed on a vacation trip to southern
Europe.
In effect, Mr. Mellon declared, the
United States has cancelled all OF
Frances obligations for advances
made during the war and is actual
ly getting a return, under its agree
ment with France, of only those
loans made after the armistice.
The treasury secretary explained
that his sudden declaration was oc-
casioned by the erroneous compar-
isons in the American press of the
British French settlement and the
French settlement.
1t was regarded here an an an
swer to published reports from Par
is that the new French government
might seek modification of the
American debt agreement as re-
suit of the terms provided in the
British French settlement.
Mr. Mellon, who is chairman OF
the debt commission, already had
served notice that the commission
had washed its hands of the French
debt when it signed the agreements
with Ambassador Berenger and that
it was now entirely in the control
of congress-.
