NEW YORK. June 23--Another bad

opening, when the price showed an
overnight drop of l0l2 points to 1009a

for the year The price compared with
the previous low of 102ia.
Practically every other stock that
made its appearance on the tape dur
ing TIE first hour was Bancitaly, the
price finally breaking through the 100
level.
The fact that some sales were made
on the sellers z" basis indicated that
some of the offerings were coming from
out of town and that seven days were
required to deliver the amount in
volved, or that they represented sales
for short account by those who were of
the opinion they could buy the stock
lower after seven days. In view of the
break in the issue at San Francisco
yesterday, the first assumption seemed
the more logical.
Melville Shoe left off yesterday at its
highest of 200. There was no stock
for sale today following announcement
that plans have been completed for a
split up of the present common in the

CHICAGO, June 23.-Better wealth
er in Kansas and favorable con-
ditions in the Northwest. with lower
prices at Liverpool, had an early bear
ish effect today on the wheat market
here. st. Louis reported the arrival TO-
day Of the first car OF new wheat from
Oklahoma. Starting Il to Ia cents of
Chicago wheat kept near to the initial
range. Corn and oats were relatively
firm; corn opening unchanged to u
cent down. but subsequently scoring
some advance. Provisions held about
steady.
Emphasizing indications today of
some improvement of the wheat harvest
outlook in the Southwest, reports were
at hand that the crop was maturing
we'll and that cutting had progressed
considerably into the south portions of
Kansas. According to generally ac-
cepted trade gossip here. Kansas will
have a big crop, although the probable
yield will be smaller than last year.
What buying support there was for
wheat values today came largely from
previous speculative sellers who could
collect profit. Some notice was taken
OF an Official report that the condition
of Winter wheat In Germany is 8 per
cent below the average Of the last 10
years. On other hand, overnight export
demand for wheat from North America
was very light.

NEW YORK, June 23-The insur-

mendous volume of business In the first

the aggregate per month has been al
most 81 900, 100000.
The greatest gains have been made
in group insurance. Group insurance
has shown gains of from 10 to IA per

in industrial insurance are heightened
by the fact that research by the Travel

that 90 per cent Of all industrial ac-
cidents are preventable.

we'll over 100000 has been expended

Then. too, the increase in the num-
Der of automobiles in the country is
bringing a huge volume of business to
the companies which specialize In au-

solutely to De depended upon, in view
of the large number Of cars which are
sold on time payments and on which
the purchaser must provide insurance

Auto Liability Insurance.
There is marked tendency on the
part of automobile drivers to increase
the personal liability provisions Of their

Many have come to feel that while
they might be able to lose their own
car and withstand the monetary loss,
they could not afford to pay large sums
for injuries sustained by others through
their fault.

Claims He Is Damaged.

Through these practices. which he
states were carried on with the fun
knowledge of the Exchange and its
managers. Osmond claims to have SUI
fered damages, for which he Is suing,
and declares that farmers, traders,
merchants and mills have been mulcted
of hundreds of millions, and the port
of New York has been discredited as
cotton market.
Osmond charges that last September,
when the Department of Agriculture
estimated the cotton crop at 5,OOO.0oo
bales less than the year before, which
sent the price above Is cents. the TWO
defendant cotton houses caused 100000
bales of cotton, most OF which was
defective, to be dumped on the market
for delivery on the Cotton Exchange
contracts. This. he continues. caused
the market to drop violently below II
cents per pound. which was the In
trinsic value OF this low grade cotton
delivered.
In formal statement answering that
part of Osmond's charges which ques-
tons the character of the certlficated
stock OF cotton on hand in the port OF
New York, the New York Cotton Elk
change said that group OF expert
classers drawn from various parts OF
the South inspected samples OF l72,oO0
bales several months ago after COM

the two houses concentrated in New
York large quantity of low-grade cot
ton, below the legal seven~eighths OF an
inch standard, and delivered 1t and re-
delivered 1t back and forth between
themselves and their agents for the
purpose of demoralizing contract hold

ture of the market.
