GRAIN MARKET.
CBy Dispatcn A. p. wire)

+. CHICAGO, July 24.-Prospects of a
hot wave in Canada did much to bring
about a sudden upturn in wheat values
today. Closing quotations on wheat
were strong, 1Kc to IL net higher,
corn 1 nc to 1hc up, oats at NC to
13sc gain and provisions unchanged at
20 cents advance.
Wheat finished virtually at the day s
top level. In addition to fears of crop
damage in Canada, reports were cur
rent that big chartering of vessel room
for wheat was in progress at the Gulf
Of Mexico. Under such~ circumstances,
the market rose rapidly in the late
dealings, having apparently become
oversold during the first part of the
day. An exaggerated report Of increase
of wheat stocks at Kansas City had q
good deal to do with causing sellers
to put themselves in false position.
Early advices said that since Monday
there had been 2,2S1,OOO bushels en-
largement of the amount of wheat on
hand in Kansas City, but later this
was corrected to 1,2S1,OOO increase.
Kansas City receipts of wheat today
nevertheless set new high record,
1109 cars. Indications point also to
large primary arrivals ON Monday and
to a good sized increase of the United
States visible supply total, The out
look for possible renewal of crop dam
age reports from Canada, however, op-
Grated as more than an offset for the
liberal. winter wheat movement and
for other bearish factors as well. Be-
sides, considerable buying here was
done on account of a report from the
northwest that there would not be to
exceed 1OO,0OO,O00 bushels of bread
spring wheat raised this year in the
four principal producing states. This
amount of spring wheat, it was point
ed out could easily be used by Mime
apolis mills alone.
Illinois and Indiana dry weather re-
ports outweighed in the corn market
the influence of Nebraska and Iowa
rains. oats developed independent
strength as a result of unfavorable
crop reports from a wide area.
provisions responded to upturns in
hog values and in grain.

FINANCIAL REVIEW.
(By Dispatch A. P. Wire }

NEW YORK, July 24.-The sensational
collapse in French francs, the reprecus-
sion of which was felt in all the lead
ing money centers of the world, over
shadowed all other developments in.
this weeks financial markets. The ex-
change rate on Paris dropped below 2
cents to the lowest level in history,
but it had rallied back to nearly 2h,
cents today on the restoration of con-
fidence following the organization of
a national union" cabinet under for
mer President Poincare which, it is
hoped, will put French finances on
sound footing.
Despite the continuance of relative
ly easy call money rates and favorable
trade news, the stock market drifted
lower in further correction of what was
obviously top-heavy speculative po-
sition. Towards the close of the week
the market alternately blew hot and
cold opposing speculative forces
struggled for control, with profession
al opinion still sharply divided over
the trend of the immediate future The
continuation of heavy freight traffic,
the unusual mid summer expansion of
business, the increase in bank clearings
and the favorable nature of many of
the recent earnings reports, particul-
arly the quarterly statements of the
Independent steel companies and the
June returns of the railroads, helped
to maintain bullish sentiment. Higher
money rates reflected the growing de-
mand for funds in connection with the
movement of crops, but call money was
in plentiful supply, due to the unusual
ly large sums placed here for tenn
porary investment.

NEW YORK, July 24.-The stock
market moved irregularly lower in to-
days quiet trading. series of bear
attacks, particularly against the mo-
tors and some of the high priced in
dustrial specialties, resulted in the
elimination of some weak speculative
accounts, but failed to undermine the
markets structure Good buying sup
port was Forthcoming when needed,
but little effort was made to bring
about any demonstrations on the up
side.
Rails showed better support than in
dustrials, the average of 20 leading
issues in that group showing net
gain of nearly half a point on the day.
Buying of these shares was influenced
by the appearance of additional fa-
vorable June earnings reports and the
publication of plans for@the so-called
tandem merger" in the southwest.
Southern Pacific closed nearly 2 points
higher, at 1O6, on the announcement
that net operating income in June was
1S per cent above the average income
for. that month over the last five
years.
Motors, which have been subjected
to repeated assaults in the last few
months on the belief that car sales had
reached their peak and that more price
cutting was in order, again withstood
the attacks of bear traders. General
Motors closed 1s higher at 1865 after
fluctuating between 165 and 167; Mack
Trucks showed a fractional loss at
1872 after having sold a point below
that figure, but Hudson closed nearly
points lower at 6OA. Jordan rallied
over 2 points to 26 and then yielded
slightly.
Most of the other standard indus
trials drifted lower, U. S. Steel common
showing a net loss of II at 1917, while
the large majority of net losses in that
group were fractional declines of to
2 points were recorded by American
Smelling, American Water Works, Du-
pont, General Electric, Pullman, West
inghouse Aid Brake. Offsetting these
were similar gains in Austin Nichols,
Brown Shoe, Dawson Chemical, Foun-
dation company, Marine preferred and
Jones Brother Tea.
Wheat and cotton prices pointed up
ward. Active wheat futures rallied
about cents bushel, despite denial
of recent reports that the Canadian
crop had been damaged by lack of
moisture. Cotto nclosed IA to 80
points net higher, with buying influ-
enced by reports of rain in the cotton
belt
A further rally of nearly 10 points in
French francs to around 2.45 cents
featured the irregular foreign exchange
market. Belgian francs and Italian lire
rallied in sympathy with the Paris rate
but demand sterling eased 3-16 of a

BURGOMASTERS
OF BERLIN MAY
LOSE POSITIONS
fRu nisnntrh A. p. wirsl


BERLIN, July 24.-The 21 burgo-
masters who rule Berlin, a city of
100000 souls, from % separate city
halls at salaries of $4,000 a year, are
getting panicky. Lord Mayor Gustav
Boess, who gets $780, threatens to
pluck most of these lucrative mayor
atty plums from the municipal tree
and turn about Is of the million dol
lar city halls into apartment houses
to relieve the housing shortage.
The entire city, the lord mayor
says is over-staffed. Salaries alone
run up to $27,OOO,OOO a year. or IS
per cent of the total expenditures.
Each of the 21 boroughs of which
greater Berlin is composed, has its
own government and sends represen
tatives to the greater Berlin parlia-
ment of 100 members. Each member
draws about half the salary of an
American congressman. There arc
officials enough, the lord mayor be-
lives, to run a city four times the
size of New York, which has five
boroughs.
In view of the controversy over
the republican. flag, the fascist party
has introduced into the reichstag a
motion declaring that while the
treaty of Versailles exists, Germany's
flag should be black. "The ultimate
banner of the Reich" the motion says,
Ought to be that under which the
war for freedom from oppression is
fought"
The chances of carrying out their
desires are admittedly slim.
Movie stars of Germany's Holly
wood, Neu Babelsberg, near Berlin,
are disappointed that there is no
German hero medal corresponding to
the Carnegie award. They say Kurt
Bleine, a director who risked his
life to save seven cats from death,
deserves a medal of some kind.
Bleine was directing a scene in a
film entitled Meow" in which Cas-
imir, tomcat, was to save prood
of kittens from death by fire. The.
stage setting caught fire and the
cats were endangered Bleine DASH
ed through the flames and rescued
the felines, but was so badly burned
that he had to be taken to q hos
pital.
