GRAIN MARKET

CHICAGO, May Is R)-An ava
lanche of selling overlook the grain
markets today after a wild new up
turn Much of the selling was to real
ize profits, but there was also specu-
latiye selling by traders who figured
that advances of late had been too
rapid. A sensational price bulge at
Winnipeg was the chief new bullish in
centive today
Chicago closing, quotations of wheat
were unsettled, 1s cent to 215 cents net
lower, with corn 11s cents to 1as cents
down, oats $s cent off to VI cent up,
and provisions showing 2 cents to 60
cents decline
Altogether, the selling pressure ex-
erted against wheat and other grains,
especially in the last part of the day,
was enormous Demand finally proved
inadequate, although buying at all
times was on a large scale. Contribut-
ing to the late decline were reports that
100000 bushels Of wheat at other mar
ket centers had been purchased to come
here for delivery on May contracts.
There were also late indications of
better weather northwest and asser-
tions that reports of crop deterioration

NEW YORK, May 25 P).-The stock
market moved into new high ground
today after weathering sharp selling
attack just before midday. While the
market has been paying little attention
of late to news and trade developments,
the increase from SO to 81 in the
annual dividends on General Electric
and CRANKY Copper and the declara-
ton of 20 per cent stock dividend on
Pere Marquette undoubtedly helped
create bulliSh sentiment.
Operators for the rise, apparently
fortified with enormous buying power,
quickly grabbed up all offerings of
standard stocks and started another
rally which reached its peak in the
final hour of trading.
U. S. Steel common regained leader
ship of the market by moving up over
2 points to new high record for all
time at 1743s. The when issued" stock,
which will be traded, in on regular
basis next week, sold up to 1241k.
Van Sweringen rails attracted wide
spread attention by climbing to new
peak prices Nickel Plate common
scared nearly SO points to 233, Chesa-
peake and Ohio common touched new
top at 1876, Erie first preferred at 617s
and the second preferred at 58s4. sPere
Marquette closed q higher at 1864 but
failed to reach new high ground.
Southern Railway and Western Mary
land common and second preferred also
exceeded their previous peak prices.
Missouri Pacific issues we're heavy on
the publication of pessimistic un-
official forecast of April earnings.
Rail equipments moved up Under
leadership of Baldwin, Pullman and
Westinghouse Airbrake, all at new
highs. Strength of Great Western
Sugar was associated with runors that
the stock was to be split up. Among
the many other new highs were Aneri-
can Sugar Refining, Central Leather,
Otis Elevator, General Electric, Cranky
Copper, White Sewing Machine and
National Enameling.
There were several soft spots scat
tered throughout the list. The Aneri-
can Woolen issues and Real Silk
Hosiery broke to their lowest levels in
years Laclede Gas broke 91z points
to 23575.. Heaviness developed in Vic
tor Talking Machine, Vanadiunl Steel,
White Motors, international Silver,
F. G. Shattuck and several others. y
Call money held firm at u per cent
all day. Time money and commercial
paper rates were unchanged.
Commodity prices were .reactionary
with a break Of nearly 8 cents bushel
in May wheat as the outstanding fea-
ture., The more distant wheat options
showed little change. Cotton sagged

Foreign exchanges held steady in
quiet trading. Demand sterling ruled

southwest had been exaggerated.
All deliveries of wheat and rye, how
ever, as well as deferred deliveries of
corn and oats, jumped early today to
new high price records for the season.
An extraordinary upturn of nearly IA
cents a bushel in wheat at Winnipeg
was coupled with reports that wet
weather hindrance to Canadian seeding
had become disastrous. Besides, esti-
mates of world import needs had been
raised 32,000,000 bushels, although it
was also true that figures on the sur
plus of exporting countries had been
lifted 40,00O,0O0 bushels.
Corn and oats swayed with wheat

CITIZENS STRESS
NEED FOR SCHOOL
Maj. Adkins Tells of Negotia-
tionS for Site in Sixteenth
Street Heights.

Urgent need of a school was the
topic of discussion at a meeting OF
the Sixteenth Street Heights Citizens
Association in Northminster PreSby-
terian Church, Alaska avenue and
kalmia street, last night. Maj. L..
r. Adkins, assistant to the Engineer
Commissioner, addressed the meeting,
outlining the methods employed In ar
TIv1Eg Of suitable locations for school
. buildings ana pointing out the lea
lures in four sites under consldefa-
ton for school and playground pur-
poses in the Sixteenth Street Heights
section. An amount of $S0,000 has
been provided in the lump-sum ap-
preparation for school purposes 1or
the purchase of a site in this terri
tory, he said, pointing out that To-
cation must be determined upon and
the money used before July l, 1923,
after which date, if not used for the
purpose for which it was approprl-
ated, he said. it reverts to other uses.
Notes Difficulties i'm Way.
The properties under consideration,
he said, are so involved in specula-
tion that ii is indefinite as to when
it will be possible to close a deal. The
% per cent clause also tends to hold
up school site transactions, he said,
ueclarlng tnat not even d ou VI %
per cent limitation over assessed
value would help matters, as holders
of desirable land would boost prices
to the limit. Sites possible Of at
tainment within the 25 per cent limi-
tation, he said, are inappropriate for
school needs.
The association has been endeav-
oring for eight years, it was pointed
out, to secure a school building in it's
midst, the closest building now being
the Takoma School, which is nearly
a mile away. 1t was pointed out that
with the rapid growth of the com
munity up-to-date and convenient
school facilities are imperative.
Name Taylor for Council.
James Taylor, president of the as
sociation, was unanimously chosen
as the associations nominee for cleo
ton to the Citizens Advisory Coun-
Gil. Stephen T.. Kramer, assistant
superintendent of schools, who was to
have addressed the meeting, postponed
his talk until a later date President
Taylor instructed each member of the
association to make survey of street
sidewalk and parking needs in their
respective communities and report at
the next meeting of the association,
the report to be filed with the Dis
trict Commissioners.
