ing on weather Developments in the
immediate future.
Wheat, rye and oats as well as corn
top prices for this season. But big
profit taking sales forced a reaction
in wheat Closing quotations for wheat
were nervous at Il cent to q cent net
decline, with oats z cent to IA cents
up and provisions at II cents to 45
cents gain.
Facing new reports of heavy rains
and general acknowledgment that the
1927 corn crop as whole has been
dangerously delayed, speculators today
joined in mad rush to buy This
stampede to purchase had behind it in
many cases the idea that adverse wea-
ther during the growing season would
now be likely to result in an extremely
short crop of corn, even if the existing
tremendous handicap from prolonged
wet cold season could be overcome.
On the very first bulge in prices
today corn went SkyWard cents. Then
the market fluctuated wildly, but in the
final hour maximum prices stood 5
cents up from yesterdays latest figures.
Selling to realize profits dominated
the wheat market most of the time.
Meanwhile reports from the southwest
told OF the wheat crop continuing to
deteriorate, and weather conditions in
Canada were again reported adverse.
Buying Of oats was on a much larger
scale than has been witnessed for some
time. Indications that oats acreage
this season has been materially cur
tailed was emphasized as a bullish
factor.
Provisions ranged upward with corn
and hogs.

NEW YORK, May % QP)-Bullish
enthusiasm ran rampant in practically
all of the speculative markets this week.
Railroad and industrial stock averages
were lifted to record high levels, with
the rise in many issues attended with
considerable degree of violence.
Wheat futures scared IL cents a bu-
Shel and cotton futures about $3.50 a
bale, with buying influenced largely by
unfavorable weather reports. Bonds
were steady in face of another huge
volume of new offerings, and the for
eign exchanges displayed firm under
tone.
Higher commodity prices and the
continued case of the general credit
situation, despite the temporary stiff
felling of call money rates, provided the
chief background for the advance in
stocks. Special considerations, however,
such as reports of competitive bidding
for control of some of the rails, and the
usual merger and dividend rumors, un-
doubtedly influenced the buying of
many issues.
Rupture of trade relations between
Great Britain and Russia attracted
only academic interest and was without
influence on the markets. Publication
of relatively poor April railroad earn
ings statements, the first 43 roads to
report showing decline of II per cent
in net operating income, and official
predictions of slightly lower freight
loadingS this year were disregarded.
Passing of the Inspiration Copper and
yellow Taxi dividends was offset by
the higher payments in Chesapeake
and Ohio, Hooking Valley and General
Electric stocks.
Many stocks were bid up at the ex-
penSe of an overcrowded short interest
which has been stubbornly contesting
the recent advance in the stock market
on the theory that it is entitled to at
least technical reaction. New high
prices for 1927 or longer were recorded
by such widely diversified issues as

The Attic Room

BY Esther Moore
I have a little dream room,
Where no one ever goes,
Cause It's way up in the attic,
Where the cobwebs hang In rows.
rye loved this little attic room
Since the day we bought our house.
And there's no one there to bother
But a spider and a mouse.
RED Grange" call the spider,
Cause he's such an acrobat,
And Solomon's the mouse's name,
He's smarter than our cat!
When all the world is sad and gray,

And there with Red" and Solomon,
/ laugh away my gloom.

There is nothing they won't do,
If feed them cheese and flies
When their performance is all through
Now you're laughing at my foolishness,
And you say, We'll, presume"

Have you an attic room2

o, Thanksgiving, please come round
More than once year,
For that is when my wants abound
And such good things are near.
That is the time I have enough
To last me through the year,
Though mamma says--but never gruh-
"You are a pig, fear"
While eating just have no peace,
She is forever preaching
That we should think Of some one else;
Sure, she'd be good for teachingl
But then, when all the lights are out,
/ just sit up and pray,
Hoping that you will come along
In just another day.
