and urged cooperation, especially
during the next few weeks when Put
nam wants all the business Il can get.
Criticized Both Ways
Mayor Richard said that the police
were lenient and that members of the
common council criticized them for
being lenient. Then, he said, he or
dered them to enforce the ordinanc-
es and again they are criticized.
Alderman Chadwick said the or
dinance has been a failure.
There was great deal of discus
sion and re-discussion of the prob
lem until the matter was finally re-
ferred Alderman Chadwick stated
that the committee would have new
ordinance to submit to the next meet

the mayor that, upon request, he
would call a special meeting any time
the committee is ready.

were no petitions and no communica-

Alderman Dean again advocated

CORN SCORES GAINS
IN CHICAGO TRADING
Advance Comes Despite Large Ar
rivals of Coarse Grain--Wheat
Price Easier.

CHICAGO, July 28--Despite large
arrivals of corn in Chicago today, val
ues went higher during the early deal
ings. July delivery of corn led the up
turns in prices, with offerings scarce
and with previous sellers of September
active as buyers. Opening unchanged
to q cent up, corn soon scored gains
all around. Wheat and oats we're easier.
Wheat started unchanged to IL cents
higher, but soon underwent general
sag. Provisions held about steady.
Receipts of 468 cars of corn here to-
day lost their effect in view OF an
nouncement that liberal amounts of
No. and No yellow corn were
simultaneously being loaded out OF
Chicago elevators to be shipped else
where. Under such circumstances and
with only two more business days ahead
in which to fill contracts for the cur
rent month, the July price quickly adj
vanced to the highest level which has
been reached in q long while, and Sep
TENDER more than kept pace.
Friends of higher prices for corn
pointed out today that although much
corn Is being attracted to Chicago on
account Of premiums being paid for
July and September deliveries, an un-
usually large proportion of the grain Is
from other terminal markets. It was
asserted that with the bulk of the whole
visible supply Of corn being concen-
trated in Chicago and with only light
stocks In Eastern positions consumers
everywhere will have to come into the
market Sore freely and that the usual
movement of corn from rural sources
during August and September has al
ready been contaminated.

BALTIMORE. Md, July ga spe-
cial meeting of the stockholders OF
Dodge Brothers, INC, held here today,
adjourned until Monday morning with
out taking any action upon the pro-
posed merger with the Chrysler Cor
poration. The adjournment was moved
by representative of the merger COM
mittee after 1t had been announced
that the committee did not have on
deposit the 90 per cent of stock neces-
sary for contamination of the merger.
The meeting today was a brief one
with less than the 80 per cent OF the
stock represented, including proxies
held by the committee for the plan.
After the formalities of organizing the
meeting the merger plan was outlined
and Silas Rowland. counsel for the
committee, explained the deposit Sit
uation.
Stockholders had been given numer-
Gus notices that the Chrysler Corpor-
alton insisted on 90 per cent deposit
of each class of stock. and that proper
ton of the preferred and class A stocks
had not been deposited according to
reports at the close of business yes
terday, he said. Late reports were still
being received and he suggested a short
adjournment in the hope that the re-
quired amount would be deposited. The
adjournment until 10 o'clock Monday
morning was voted after Mr.. Rowland
expressed hope that enough deposits
would be made by that time.
The exact figures on the deposits
were not available at the time of the
meeting. but 1t was reported unofaciaily
that somewhat less than $4,000 shares
of preferred stock and less than 100000
shares of class A were needed for CON
summation of the merger plan. Enoug :
class p already had been deposited.
