changed to 35 cents decline. Standing
orders to let go of holdings and to
stop losses at various set limits were
rapidly forced into action when the
wheat market began to break. At
first, however, the price tendency was
upward, owing to bullish aspects of
government figures on the condition of
domestic winter. wheat and because of
dispatches telling of flood damage to
crops in southern Kansas. There We're
also advices of wintry weather, indi-
eating further delay to spring wheat
seeding in Canada.
Onathe subsequent downward swings
of the wheat market, July and Sep
tember both tumbled to a new low
price record for the crop. Declines
port purchasing of North American
wheat today was somewhat slow,
amounting to 100000 bushels or less.
Foreigners were apparently taking
chief interest in new crop winter wheat

old crop wheat. The close was at vir-

STOCK MARKET
SHOWS BUOYANCY
in INDUSTRIALS
(By the Associated Press)

NEW YORK, April 8 tP.-Buoyancy
of high-grade industrials and special
ties gave today's stock market a firm
undertone Heavy buying orders lifted
4 number of so-called rich mems
stocks" to new high records despite
sporadic profit taking and bear selling
in other quarters, which tended to give
the market a somewhat unsettled ap-
pearance. Although there were sew
eral soft spots, the general averages in
the railway group reached new high
record.
The decline of 4S,979 tons in steel
tonnage last month, made public after
the close, caused little disappointment
inasmuch as the loss was not so great
as had earlier been expected, pre-
liminary estimates of ahe decrease
having run as high as 100000 tons
u. S. steel common held firm around
III, where it closed for small frac-
tional gain on the day.
Further accumulation of General
Motors carried the price up to new
high record at 1854, while Dupont
which has large General Motors hold
ings, jumped s points to a new peak at
$50 before reacting to 247B. CONNER
cial Solvents also sold up to new
top at 319, jump of 10 points, and
there was active trading in Texas Gulf
Sulphur and American Smelling COM
mon. Kelly Springfield common and
both preferred, issues touched new
maximum prices for the year on re-
ports that first quarter earnings were
substantially above those of the same
period Of last year.
New York Central continued to be
an outstanding favorite in the rail
group, touching 1918, the highest in
over 20 years, while Missouri Kansas
Texas, Chesapeake and Ohio, Baltimore
and Ohio, ST. Louis southwestern,
Kansas City Southern and Hudson and
Manhattan common and preferred sold
at peak prices for the year or longer.
Weakness developed in some of the
food and tobacco stocks, notably Ward
Baking preferred and Tobacco Prod
ucts, which fell to new lows for the
year. Continental Baking A was also
subjected to heavy selling pressure.
Establishment of a new high for the
year by Greek drachmas at 1.S5 cents
was one of the few developments of
consequence in the foreign exchange
market. Demand sterling mad French
francs held fairly steady around
$4.85 5-16 and 391 cents; respectively,
, while most of the other continental
rates showed moderate recessions.

BLAST MENACES
GREAT AQUEDUCT
Los Angeles Water Supply
Again Object of Secret
Dynamite Attack.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
LOS ANGELES, June 20.-Owens
Valley, scene of water war between
ranchers and the city of Los Angeles.
today echoed defiance at peace officers
who sought to fix responsibility for
still another dynamiting. apparently
intended to damage the great aqueduct
system upon which more than 1,00O,OO0
persons depend for water.
The latest blasting occurred yester-
day, when a charge of explosive,
planted in spite of the watchfulness
of scores of armed guards, blew out
16-foot section of a concrete-llned
ditch two miles south of Lone Pine.
The blast, which was felt in Lone
Pine. did not materially impair U1e
operation of the aqueduct, officials re-
ported.
Clues Are Lacking.
Although the waterway was under
heavy patrol the guards in the vicin-
ity reported seeing no one approach
the big ditch. The roar of the blast
was the first suspicion they had of
another attack. Deputy sheriffs from
Independence were rushed to the
scene. but no clues were found, al
though officers said several suspected
persons had been placed under sur
VIGILANCE.
The dynamiting was the fourth
within a month in Owens Valley,
where ranchers have sought repara-
tions for land and water taken by
the city of Los Angeles. The aque-
duct, mostly a huge steel pipe, ira
verses 200 miles of desert and noun
tain country to reach its water supply
in Owens River. The ranchers claim
damages for the water loss.
History of Dynamiting.
The first outbreak was more than
two years ago, when armed ranchers
opened the headgates in the Alabama
Foothills of the high Sierras, and for
G5 hours prevented their closing, from
which a torrent was loosed upon the
desert. Nearly a month ago the
heaviest damage to the aqueduct was
accomplished when a 350-foot section
of syphon pipe in No Name Canyon
was blasted out after guards had been
driven off. Two other lesser dynamit- |
ings have occurred since, and two |
shipments of rifles into Owens Valley |
have been admitted.
The city is known to have sent |
sawed-off shotguns and other arms |
into Owens Valley, and the arming |
Of the residents there was heralded as |
a preparation for ''war."
In spite of the number of dynamit-
ings that have occurred there and the
number of men assigned to guard the
aqueduct, no arrests ever have been
made.
