Describing the market, the Wall
Street Journals financial review to-
day said:
Mondays substantial gains in
the principal industrials caused
marked revision of trading senti-
ment. Houses which have been
bearish on the outlook were in
clined to adopt a bullish attitude.
This change caused further buying
and short covering in the early
dealings and the forward movement
continued in many sections Of the
list"

Quilted down new issues were being

Grain FUTURES
UNCHANGED ON
CHICAGO BOARD
Wheat, Corn Show Signs of
Weakness; Oats Con-
tinueS Strong.
By United Press


CHICAGO, March 6.-Grain flu
lures opened practically unchanged
on the Chicago Board of Trade to-
day. Wheat and corn showed signs
of a downward reaction, but oats
continued to exhibit a strong under
tone. Opening figures were wheat
unchanged to "a cent off; corn I'M
changed to % cent lower; and oats
unchanged to Is cent higher Pro-
visions higher.
Wheat sentiment is still believed
to be generally bullish, with news
of the winter wheat crop largely
governing price movements.
The absence of any aggressive
selling in corn during the last few
days still is puzzling traders. Con-
ditions are mostly bearish.
With interest conferred in wheat
and corn, oats are beginning to be
neglected again. The market re-
mains fundamentally strong.

Daring Is Lauded
BIZ United Press

BU UHtteU Press
WASHINGTON, April 14.-Teuton
daring-and Celtic, too-waS praised
in America today as never before
since that summer day in 1916 when
little Captain Koenig and his sub
marine Deutschland poked its nose
up the Patapsco River and moored
in Baltimore harbor.
The men lauded by thousands of
lips today were Herr Baron Huene-
field, Herman Koehl, Germans, and
their Irish companion, Colonel Fitz-
maurice, who in the sturdy Junkers
plane Bremen landed Friday on an
island in Belle Isle Strait.
With this one stroke of bravery,
the Germans did much to give their
country a new place in the sun. To
many it was typical of the comeback
of Republican Germany and
symbolical o. what the new de-
mocracy seeks to attain in peaceful
accomplishments.
In this light, official Washington
hailed the deed of the baron and
his nearvy companions. The men
who were first to span the Atlantic
by air from the eastward were &C
corded heroes, praise by the heads of
the government. President Coolidge,
it was anticipated, would have some
message for them today, and
cabinet members were ready to join
in congratulations.

NEW YORK, April 14.-General
Motors gave the stock market a
shock at the opening today by
selling down AS to SIS points on a
split initial sale involving 10000
shares at prices ranging from 1914
to 1913, compared with the previous
close of 198%s. The entire market
was irregular with losses in the
leaders running from l to 2 points
The reason for the abrupt decline
in General Motors was ascribable
to punching of profit taking orders.
The same thing occurred in General
Electric which lost points of its
12-point gain of Friday and held
around 1861.
Radio sagged points to 168,
while Consolidated Gas, another
favorite, dipped to 154.
Schultz led the issues on the
advancing side, soaring to 67A after
an initial sale of 10000 shares at
66% up 5s. Other tobaccos held
strong, including Liggett and Myers
"B" Congress Cigar and Tobacco
Products. Motors and rails eaSed
with the majority of industrials.
General Motors recovered in easy
stages after the opening break.
Describing the market, the Wall
Street Journals financial review to-
day said:
Fridays spectacular advance in
the principal industrials carried the
Dow Jones average for this class of
stock to 1858, new high record.
Many commission houses took profit
on the theory that the swing was
setting too rapid a pace. These fac
tors included heavy selling in the
early dealings. General Motors
opened at 1914 to 1913 compared with
Fridays close of 1885.

that the airplane Bremen had ar
rived safety on the North American
continent.
Extra editions appeared on the
street telling of the arrival of the
Bremen at Greenly Island. They
were slow about getting circulation
on the street
ABOUT the sam etime the morn
ing editions of Berlin papers were
on sale at news stands, proclaim
ing in large headlines that there
was the greatest confusion about
the flight.
A United Press correspondent
went on the street about 8 a. m.
and attempted to convince various
persons on the street and news
dealers that the Bremen had ar
rived. He risked a sound beating
because, as many said, he was:
"One of those circulating false
rumors."
Last night there had been re-
ports that, the Bremen had arrived
safely at Mitchell Field. The crowds
around bulletin boards cheered

NEW YORK, April 14.-The
westward trans Atlantic flight
of the airplane Bremen was
equivalent to about 600 miles
more than an eastern trans
Atlantic fight, Commander
Richard E. Byrd believes.
Byrd commanded one of the
three planes which successfully
flew across the Atlantic from
Long Island last summer.
When advised of the arrival
Of the Bremen at Greenly
Island, Bryd issued the follow
ing statement:
Great for Germany and Ire
land. We were sure they could
do it. I don't know how long
it took the INTO get across, but
their distance through the air,
going from east to west, is
equivalent to at least 600 miles
further than going from West
to East, due to adverse weather
conditions.
This, therefore, was a most
remarkable feat and shows the
great courage and skill of the
three fliers."
