NEW YORK, June 1.-THE ex-
pansion Of brokers borrowings as
reported by the Reserve Board and
the New York Stock Exchange after
the close of yesterdays market was
in line with expectations, and the
market, after an irregular opening,
resumed its forward price movement
in the early trading today.
Speculative interest was displayed
chiefly in a small number of the fast
moving specialties which have risen
2 to points in recent trading. Buy.
ing orders swept into the market for
Texas Land Trust certificates (neW),
American International, Wright Aero
nautical, Pittsburgh Coal, Freeport,
Texas; Union Bag and Paper, Bush
Terminal and other newcomers to
the list of sky-rocketers in the fast
and furious upward pace OF the
market.
The pools were active, as well as
professional traders in and out of
Wall Street. Further stimulus for
investment buying was contained in
Secretary Melons statement Of the
expected $500 100000 Treasury sur,
plus this year, with the logical de,
duction of an additional slash in In
come taxes. The rails, rather than
the industrial shares, received the
greater part OF inflow of investment
buying, with New York Central
Pennsylvania and Rock Island in de
mand.
The market displayed a strong
tone in the second hour, with occa
siona1 declines Of / to points in the
high-priced speculative leaders which
have been leaping all barriers in
their recent sensational plunges tc

OSTEND, Belgium, June AR.
thur Sapp, Of Huntington, Ind, has
been nominated for the presidency
OF the Rotary international, in con.
vention here.
Unless an independent ticket is
put in the field, Sapp's nomination
by the nominating committee Is
tantamount to election. At present
there is no indication of an OPP
position ticket.
Meantime a famine in top hats
exists in Ostend today as the result
OF the sudden ambition OF several
hundred American Rotarians, here
for the Rotary international Con-
Yention. to be properly attired.
The Kursaal at Ostend has never
admitted guests in the evening UNI
less in formal attire, and not to be
barred, American Rotarians who
had neglected to bring top hats with
them sought out the entire supply.
Then the Kursaal announced that
during the Rotary convention, eve.
ming clothes would not be required.
The Americans, however, turned
up last night in full evening dress
and the restrictions have been laid
down again.
Gambling at the Kursaal tables Is
general, but for the most part the
Americans are playing the mini.
mum stakes.
Queen Elizabeth and Princess
Marie Jose were the chief attrac.
ton today for those Rotarians who
were not engaged in group meet
ings. The queen and princess were
guests at military equestrian show
staged at the hippodrome for the
Rotarians.
During the morning there were
many group meetings and speeches
by Raymond Knoepell, of New
York, and several European Ro.
tarians.

HUGE BELLANCA

NEW YORK, June 7.-Giuseppe
NJ. Bellanca, designer of the Co.
I lumbia, is organizing a company to
build multi-motored planes to carry
40 or more passengers to Europe on
a commercial basis.
The big problem in the way of
further transatlantic air travel is
financial, Bellanca said today. It
Is necessary, he asserted, to con.
struct big multi-motored planes that
can fly with their full load with
only SO per cent Of their motor
power.
Transatlantic flying on a com.
mercial basis will not be done in
single-motored planes" he said,
The designer estimated that fly
ing time from New York to Paris
would be 80 air hours. The flights
would not be nonstop. There would
be a stop at Newfoundland and
another at the Azores, where gas
would be taken on. This would
bring the total travelling time from
New York to Paris to SO hours.

Outlook for Wheat Inn.
the Northwestern States

further. A normal yield of hard red
spring wheat on the present acreage
would mean approximately seven per
cent increased production over the 1920
20 average.
Added to this is the prospect Of an in
creased carry-over from last seasons crop.
Stocks on farms March 1, 1927 were 277
million bushels, or SO million bushels
more than last year. OF particular con-
Germ to Montana is the fact that approx
mately 40 million of SO million buShel
increased carry-over is largely farm, mill
and elevator stocks in the hard red win
ter wheat area.
The United States has exported about
100 million bushels of the 1926 crop. The
world crop is the most important influ-
ence in our domestic price and the world
crop promises to be larger than last year.
From areas of the United States with
which Montana farmers are in direct
competition comes word that farmers are
not only increasing their acreage but are
rapidly lowering costs of production.
Much Of the 1926 crop in Kansas was cut
with the combine and more of the 1927
crop will be so cut. Kansas farmers be-
lieve they can compete successfully with
any one. Similar conditions exist in Ne
braSka and Oklahoma. However, present
weather conditions in these states may
lower the quality of their 1927 crop, a
situation which oul be favorable to
growers of high protein wheat in Mon
tana.
In the face of rather u~nfavorable
wheat prospects, the outlook" suggests
that Montana farmers may well increase
their amount of summer fallowed land
plant more hax and increase acreage Of
feed crops to build up feed reserves as a
basis for expanding livestock production

The animals travelling in special cars

The bulk of Montana's commercial pro-

native bean grown by the Indians of the
upper Missouri valley. The market fol-
the Great Northern bean ha been q
shade better than for other varieties Of
dry beans in the past three years OF

is the principal competitor of Montana
in the production of the Great Northern
beans.
Other beans grown in Montana include
a small amount of chilli and colOreC
beans, in dried beans; and a small, bur
