JARDINE SAYS WHEAT
CROP WILL BE LOWER
Reports at White House That Yield
Will Be Below Estimate Of
594, 100000 Bushels.

By the Associated Press.
This years wheat crop will be
lower than previously estimated by
the Department Of Agriculture, Sec
rotary Jardine. who has Just re-
turned from the West, said today
during a call at the White House.
Previous estimates would cut this
years crop 100000 bushels below
last year, and Mr.. Jardine predicted
that the yield would be even lower
than this estimate.
The May 1 estimate for Winter
wheat was 594,oOO.OOO bushels.
Reporting to President Coolidge,
the Agriculture Secretary declared
that the farmers in the grain belt
were too busy with their crops to
be considering legislation now. He
said, however, that the prospective
crop in the wheat yield should bring
better prices this year than last.

RAIL SHARES LEAD
IN STOCK MARKET
Gossip in Street CenterS
About Changes in Con-

BY GEORGE r. HUGHES.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, June 9.--Buying o.
railroad stocks overshadowed every
thing else on the Stock Exchange to
day. Prices were rushed forward in
many cases to new highs for all time
under an accumulation of overnight
buying orders and the advance was
helped along by traders ready to follow
the lead the market itself indicated.
Car loadings, while slightly down
from the same week a year ago. were

for the eighth time this year. and this
| proof that traffic was being offered

| strength in the railroad stocks. But
! all the gossip of the Street Centered
| about changes in control and the ac-
| QUESTION of one road by another, with

preferred Wabash issues had been
retired. Another was that Missouri
Pacific was increasing its holdings OF
Texas and Pacific, and still another
that rival groups were contending for

Wabash common was active and
strong, up from . to points. At 81
it was at the highest since the incor.
poration of the present company
Texas and Pacific sold above 101
which was the highest for all time.
The Missouri Pacific already controls
Texas & Pacific through ownership
of the entire preferred stock and of a
minority of the common, but today's
story had it that the parent organ.
iZation was DESTROYS of adding to its
interest in the common. Lehigh Val

history.
The other features in the railroad
list were. Rock Island at ITO. a record

Hudson took the place occupied by
Chrysler the day before as leader of
the motors. These stocks were not
as active during the morning while
the rails held the center of the stage,
but came to the front in the after
noon. Steel and General Motors lag
ged behind, too, during the first half
of the session. There was a little
more activity in the stocks of local
fractions, with an uncertain price
movement. Tobacco Products was the
favorite in it's class.
