cluding Fourth Officer Frank M. Upton. I again maneuvered the President Roosevelt within about 100 yards to the windward of the Antinoe. At 7:20 pm. the boat was launched and cleared the ships side without mishap. She went toward the Antinoe manned by us- ing three oars on each side and one steering sweep oar. The boat rode like a duck on the water. I steered for a position to round the Antinoe's bow, where her men were ordered to be ready with heaving lines to assist in getting the boat alongside. The boat finally got abreast of hatch number one and the men were ordered to jump. While waiting for them to jump their condition made them slow in getting off-the boat was pounding heavily against the ships side and was in grave danger of being cap sized by the wash from her high protruding clipper bow Twelve men were in the boat when she headed for the President Roosevelt, which meanwhile had moved to a position 100 yards to leeward of the Antinoe.
 a1nnnciCn 1ffn lines, cargo nets, ladders and save alls were ready. Some of the res- cued men had to be hoisted aboard and when they reached the deck they collapsed One was taken to the hospital suffering from com- plete exhaustion. The others were put to bed and given nourishment. I ordered the boat crew aboard An examination of the boat showed the bow had been crushed in and the hoisting hook broken, so that one too had to be cut adrift.
 I then decided to wait further weather improvements and at 12:40 am, on January 28, lifeboat Mum Der Three was made ready while I again took a position 100 yards away. MT. Miller was again in charge with Third Officer Thomas Sloan, MT. Upton and seven men. They again proceeded to the wreck and got alongside number one hatch. Aided by bright moonlight, but with a heavy swell running, the lifeboat was held alongside easier than before. The remaining 13 of the Antinoe's crew jumped into the boat, and returned to the Pres ident Roosevelt, which had resumed it's previous position to the lee ward of the freighter. This life boat could not be taken aboard. The men were all ordered to bed, given nourishment and then exam ined and treated by the ships sur- geon, Dr. Dolldorf.
 The total detention was three days, g hours and 20 minutes With three long blasts from the steam whistle and three rousing cheers from the crew and passen- gers, we proceeded on our voyage.

The crew of the Antinoe now had life line and was hauling it in. We lowered Number Three boat unnamed and attached the line to it but as it was being pulled over the edge of the Antinoe's hull, the sharp edge cut the rope. I cir cled around in an effort to pick up the boat but the seas were run ming too high to attempt it and shortly after the boat capsized It was my intention to give the Anti noe crew a boat so that the men would have some means of escape, should she go down during the night.
 The next day we tried towing an unnamed boat toward the freighter. The long line was at tached to the aft king post. By coming up close to the Antinoe's

stern and swinging sharply around. the object was to get the line on her deck where the crew could reach it and haul it in. At the end of this maneuver we were lying close to the Antinoes bow, with the tow line leading under her keel and the life boat close to her stern. If they had had grapnel or one of the crew had jumped overheard with a line around him, they could have gotten the boat. But they were exhausted by expos ure and lack of food for two days.
 At 4 pm. the weather moderated and the barometer started to rise steadily. Number Six lifeboat was made ready in charge of MT. Mill Ter, with a crew of seven men in-

honor of our two lost men and shortly after the Antinoe half masted her colors. The weather continued with snow and hail and mountainous seas running. The Antinoe sent urgent appeals by sig nal5 and an effort was made to get line to her by firing the lyle gun, Shot after shot failed.
 Finally Col. c. c. Hearn, U. s. A., suggested using a long spiral spring between projectile and line, the two previously having parted. MT. Erickson was manning the gun. I ordered him to decrease the charge. This proved effective. We also tried rockets but they failed, being carried too easily by the wind.

The Antinoe was listing 50 degrees to starboard, both forward and after well decks under water. with every indication she would not stay afloat more than a few hours.
 The whole crew mourned deeply the loss of their two shipmates and at 4 pm. that afternoon after we all got a little rest, Dr. Joseph Cochran of the American Church in Paris, conducted impressive services in the social hall with passengers and crew attending. The night the men were lost prayer and serv- ices were held by Dr. Cochran and Mgr. Martin D. Whelan.

MARYLAND'S WHEAT
CROPS ARE BETTER
Special Dispatch 10 The Star.

0AfcSieA GAep0kVtl 70 4nC 6t6T.
BALTIMORE. April 18.-Maryland's
Winter wheat and rye crops came out
Of the Winter In better than average
Federal agricultural statistician for
this State. Reports received by Mr..
Newell indicate the condition Of Winter
wheat on April / to be 90 per cent
of normal, compared with lO-year
average Of S6. while the condition of
rye. also at 90 per cent Of normal on
April l, was 3 points better than the
average for the preceding 10 years. AS
a result Of the early season and favora-
bic weather conditions Maryland's chief
cash and soiling crops have apparently
received an excellent start, In marked
contrast to last year.
Although the lack Of snow protection
in the past Winter has caused some
areas. the report says, growth OF the
wheat crop is generally rank at this
time. Since 1910 ravages OF black
scab have apparently had q detri-
mental effect on yields, being especially
serious in years which have considerable
damp, "muggy" weather during the lat.
ter part of May and the first half Of
June.
weather conditions prevailing over
the Maryland area also have been con-
ducive to O good growth of rye. April
I condition Of rye was 90. in compare
son with condition Of 81 year ago.
The condition Of pasture In Maryland
Is reported at 81 per cent OF normal.
This is points better than on April
4 Of last year and point improvement
over 1927.
, Wages paid by Maryland farmers to
all classes Of farm labor showed little
or no change on April from Janu-
airy /. 1929. Monthly wage rates were
reported to be about per cent lower
than last year, while wages per day
were approximately the same as a
year ago.

ADVANCE IN CURB
SHARES RESUMES
IndustriaIs, Oils and Utilities
Are Prominent in
Gains.
BY HARRY H. BECKER.

Special Dispatch to The Star. 81
NEW YORK, April 18.--Further prog
ress in re-establishing the upward trend
was made on the Curb Exchange to-
day. In more active trading, prices ex-
tended their gains of the previous day,
with the strength marked by a number
OF new high records.
Miscellaneous industrials, number
OF oils and many utilities pushed ahead
on considerable volume.
Leaders on the side Of advance again
included Aluminium Corpor alton. This
was said to be in anticipation Of high
ly favorable announcement. The COM
pany is controlled by the Mellon in
terests of Pittsburgh. Notable improve
ment was also scored by Zenith Radio,
Bendix, Budd Manufacturing and a
few others which had gone down the
most during the break last month. Gov
ering for short account seemed to be
mainly responsible for the relatively
large movements.
In the oils the outstanding changes
were upward. with Humble reaching
another new high and considerable
activity being witnessed in Ohio Oil
without exerting much influence e.se-
where Heavy proflt-taking sent Stand
ard on of Ohio sharply lower. Gulf
Oh of Pennsylvania also enjoyed large
turnover. but displayed heaviness.
Some issues which were bid up swiftly
early In the week were given rest and
sold off under realizing. Arcturus Radio
Tube suffered sharp reaction and
Rainbow Luminous lost good part Of
Its previous advance. Their leadership
was quickly replaced by new issues like
Union Carbide and Wright Aero, created
by split-upS of stocks dealt In on the
big board. United States Steel rights
continued active around IS a share.
Good buying also developed in New
York Investors, Inc. in response to the
acquisition by the company for invest
rnent of the Kansas City Southern's
holding of st. Louis Southwestern.
Celanese met with support on the state
ment by the head of the Canadian sub
sidiary that there has been a marked
expansion in the demand for the COM
pany's products throughout the domin-
ion. Firmness continued to be displayed
by Goldman Sachs Trading on the ex-
pectation that the issue may be trans
ferred to the big board shortly.
The utility section was prominent in
the advance with American & Foreign
Power warrants, American Super Power
A, Electric Bond & Share, Northeastern
Power, United Gas Improvement and

issues were comparatively inactive.

WHEAT Is LOWER
ON INITIAL SALES
Early Downturn Follows Failure
Of Liverpool Market
to Advance.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, April 1S.--Wheat prices
underwent an early setback today, due
largely to failure Of Liverpool QUOTA
tions to respond satisfactorily to yester-
days advance. Favorable weather for
the domestic crop tended also to ease
wheat values. Opening " to II OF. Chi
cago wheat afterward sagged further.
Corn and oats were relatively firm, with
corn starting at VI of to n up and
later holding near initial figures. Pro-
visions held steady.
with prospects of long drawn out
fight ahead In Congress on farm relief
legislation, and with reports current
indicating uncertainty as to what the
measures ultimately adopted will con-
tain. friends of higher prices for wheat
found themselves at considerable dis
advantage much Of the time today.
This handicap was increased by ap-
parent reluctance Of the Liverpool
wheat market today to follow price adj
vances on this side of the Atlantic and
by continued auspicious domestic crop
prospects, as well as by notice taken OF
possible large wheat shipments to Chi
cago from Kansas City and Minneapolis
On the other hand. dispatches were
at hand confirming serious Winter kill
ing of wheat in Hungary and Eastern
Europe. In this connection, further ex-
port business in wheat from the United
States was noted and there were ad-
vices that No. 2 hard domestic wheat
is now on very attractive basis for
export.

Masters, Ell Producto and Henry George.
In 1920. one year after the organiza-
ton Of Consolidated Cigar, the produc-
ton Of cigars reached q peak. Since
that time demand has been steadily de-
Ginning. Consolidated's earnings during
ped sharply to $1.27 share in 1921.
The common dividend was passed.
Beginning In 1924, however, earnings
began to improve and by 1926 exceed
ed SO q share. A 81 dividend rate has
been paid ever since, and although
earnings for the past seven years have
averaged only S7.08, covering present
dividend by only cents, earnings in
the last four years have been main
tanned well above So and In 1928
reached $1o.61.
At IS Consolidated yields go per
cent, which is considerably higher
than on most industrials. The fact
that many consider the future OF the
pany's erratic earning record before
1924 are perhaps largely responsible
for this high yield.
Bayuk Cigars.
The "Bayuk Cigars" business was
originally established in 1895, although
the present company was not formed
until 1920. Bayuk Cigars is somewhat
smaller than the above companies, but
Is one of the larger units in the cigar
manufacturing industry. Its principal
trade marked brands are Charles
Thomson, Havana Ribbon, Philadelphia
Hand Made. Mapacuba and Prince
Hamlet.
This company has also substituted
machine for hand labor wherever pos
sible. Financing the modernization OF
its plants was accomplished by the
sale of per cent cumulative preferred.
This has increased its bonded debt con-
siderably, but the company has been
able to continue to cain fairly large
sum on the common.
It Is only natural, however, that its
earnings should fiuctuate, for, besides
the varying condition in the cigar in
dustry, the company has acquired, in
making extensive improvements, rel
atively heavy capital structure, with
by preferred stock or bank loans. In
1929 earnings were $14.56, three years
later they declined to $5.41 q share,
then Ia 1927 rose to 1880, only to fall
last year to $9.07.
throughout this period, however,
earnings on common averaged s9.e4,
SO that the dividend Of 81, recently in
augurated, has been earned by q wide
margin. This is reflected In the fact
that at current price of 95 the yield is
FL per cent, considerably below that OF
the two other leading cigar manufac-
turers.
Cigar stocks, like most other indus
trials. usually sell in rather close rela-
tiunship to current earnings. Bayus
il selling at 10.5 times 1928 earnings,
General Cigar at 90 times and Console
dated Cigar at 9 times.
