BUSH FIGHTERS

Promoter Plans Tourney
For Seekers To Find

United Press Staff Correspondent

CHICAGO, April 80. U.H Paddy
Harmon is planning to go to the
bushes after the next heavy
weight champion.
Believing that liberal dose of
new talent will enliven heavyweight
interest, the Chicago Stadium pro-
moter has hit upon a novel plan for
getting ''some guys that can hit
and be taught to box -
I'm planning to run a tourna-
ment, the only requirement Of which
will be that the entry weigh more
than 10 pounds, - Harmon said.
1.-The more entries the better and !
believe that an affair of this type
will bring out at least half dozen
heavyweight comers.'
The promoter plans to offer a
$4,000 first place prize, with other
awards ranging down TO $50.
at s true We wouldn't get any
finished boxers, but we'd get some
boys that could sock and its general
~ the socker who gets some place.
q think there are scores of fel.
lows out in the bushes who would
like TO get into the fight game but
don t know how to go about it. II
they came into tournament of this
type they wouldn't have very much
trouble getting plenty of backing If
they put away 4 few fellows with
haymakers.
will the tournament pay? There s
no criterion to go by and anyway
the idea is to develop some good
fighters but IN willing 10 bet we ID
pack EN- in at popular prices. You
can t tell me that bunch of huskies
fighting for a $4,000 prize would
Mt develop some real battling.
"The tournament, of course, would
be mostly a slam bang affair, with

tain of the University of Southern
California will clash on the cindor
track at the Southern Pacific Anna
teur Athletic Union championships at
the Los Angeles Coliseum next Sat

The two internationally known

to engage Borah in the 220 yard

Wykoff's decision to engage IN
the Los Angeles meet and pass up a
midwest appearance, meant that
Wykoff and Borah would meet for
the first time in open competition.
Last Saturday each of the runners
was clocked at 9 30 seconds, a time
which tied the world $ record, at the
Fresno games, but the element OF
competition was lacking as Borah
ran in the university class, while
Wykoff was under the banner OF

COMMODITY PRICES
SHOW FLUCTUATION
,necial Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, March 11-After a
period of comparative stability, COM
modify prices are showing signs of
fluctuations which may have broad
general bearing on the business and
speculative situations.
Cotton, with trading exceedingly &C
tive, shows signs of becoming major
factor in the situation. Shipments of
cotton goods have been exceeding pro-
duction for some weeks. That means
a lessening of stocks, the piling up of
backlog and larger demand for raw
cotton.
What the supply of raw cotton will
amount to depends to no small extent
on the weather. Early work in the fields
has been delayed, and the brighter pros
of increasing acreage and the produc-
ton.
A spread of the optimistic trend to
other commodity markets might have
far-reaching results. Copper at the
moment seems to need no extraordinary
support to maintain its position. The
strength shown, however, is due less to
failure in copper ore production than
to an insufficiency of refining capacity.
This Is being remedied, but only gradu-
ally.
Lead is commencing to follow the
trend of copper upward, and demand
seems based on sound foundations. It
is in this metal that the Mexican stu
alton will be felt especially. Stocks are
small at best. Zinc production and
consumption are fairly we'll equalized.
Oil prices are far from stabilized.
Coal is gradually being brought into
better position through consultations
which are closing inefficient mines and
by installation of improved equipment.
Spring activity, according to some
of the iron and steel statisticians, is
likely to bring about a stiffening of
the prices for some iron and steel prod
ucts.
1t is as yet somewhat too early for
the Northern grain price ranges to
have definite effect on the specula-
tive situation in other markets.

SPECULATIVE CURB
ISSUES FLUCTUATE
Trading Takes on Nervous
Character Due to Un-
certain Credit.
BY HARRY II. BECKER.
spatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, March 11.-Uncertain
money prospects for this week, despite
the fact that rates today were relatively
easier, made for considerable nervous
ness on Curb Exchange. The market.
while presenting number of outstand-
ing strong issues, appeared rather soft.
Some of the utilities broke rather
sharply and suggested weak technical
position. Aviation securities resumed
their upward tendency, one or two max
ing new highs.
Wide publicity attached to recent de-
velopments in the field of airplane
financing undoubtedly was the control
ling factor in their fresh buoyancy.
Fokker rose to the best level SO far
quoted and rather impressive improve
ment was registered in Aviation Corpo-
ration, recently organized as an invest
ment organization, which went to the
highest since it was publicly offered.
After brief hesitancy, other stocks of
plane and accessory manufacturing
concerns joined the rise.
Encouraged by the successful opera
tons in Radio shares on the big board,
traders bid urgently for kindred shares,
more especially of foreign companies
mentioned in recent consolidation
rumors. An optimistic statement by the
head of the Marconi International
Marine Co. was followed by heavy
operations in the stock at much higher
prices. He said the company began
the year with large number of orders
on hand, and with prospects of many
more. Canadian Marconi maintained
its activity, but was less buoyant. o
Other strong stocks included Libby
Owens, Ford of Canada, Bohn Alum
mum, F. & r. Lazarus, at new high
record price, and Newmont Mining
Newmont rose spectacularly for gain
at one stage of almost Is points. Among
the weak sisters were Checker Cab,
Grigsby Grunow, Goldman Sachs Trad
ing, Wright Aero new, Phelps Dodge,
Crocker-Wheeler, Firestone Tire and j.
G. Penny, all in the high priced class.
Oils failed to follow up the livelier
market which developed in them toward
the close of last week. A $4,000 block
of Pandem Oil changed hands on one
sale, but otherwise both the Standard
and independent shares were quiet and
slightly easier in tone.
Automobile and accessory stocks were
steady. Interest in Fandango was re-
yived by an official statement of new
sales policy under which the company
will offer its entire output to the whole
sale trade for distribution.

quickly and forcefully" He believes
that the SPECTATORS now control the
money situation and the banks should
raise the rediscount rate Immediately to
regain leadership over the money mar
ket.
There Is little doubt in banking cir
cles that this is the next logical step for
the banks to take, but the story Is go
ing the rounds here that while the New
York Bank is In favor Of such step,
the Treasury Department has prevented
such action until the Treasury financing
due on the 18th, is accomplished.
So this week with stocks at high
levels we face the prospect OF the long
predicted money squeeze and also the
Treasury financing on the 18th. II the
market continues to absorb large sums
of credit and If the resistance by the
Treasury to higher discount rate Is
finally removed, there is possibility
that the banks will at last raise the
rediscount rate If they are to prevent
the use of Reserve funds for specula-
ton.
Up until now, liquidation has dried
up rapidly, on the declines, due I'M
doubtedly to the increased margins re-
quired by brokers, since stocks can
swing over q wider range without i'm
pairing margins. When serious break
actually arrives. however, we may be
sure it will progress downward with
heavier volumes as the point Is reached
where margin accounts are affected.
There seems to be a real element OF
danger in carrying speculative stocks
on margin at the present time.

WHEAT IS LOWER
( IN EARLY TRADING
Reports of Bad Weather in the
West Depress Values
at Start.

BY the Associated Press
CHICAGO, March 11-With world
shipments of wheat heavy, increasing
the amount on ocean passage, wheat
values here averaged lower early to-
day. Reports of windy weather in
Kansas and Oklahoma, however, and
drought in Canada acted as something
of an offset. Opening Is to 70 off,
Chicago wheat afterward underwent a
slight further setback, but then rallied.
Corn and oats were also easier, corn
starting "a to 5s down. and subsequently
recovering little. Provisions had an
upward slant.
Big Argentine shipments of wheat to
Europe had continued bearish effect
today, pulling down Liverpool wheat
quotations and thus exercising at times
an evident depressing effect on the
wheat market here. In this connec-
ton, notice was taken that the ag-
gregate of wheat stocks afloat had en-
larged to 73,575. 900 bushels. against TO-
$4,000 bushels last week and 68,760 900
bushels year ago. Considerable buy
ing here, though, with consequent price
rallies, resulted from advices that more
or less crop damage in the Southwest
WAS resulting IIOlH IuBh WiluS pioWuiS
the soil, which was reported loose at
present.
According to some dispatches today
from Kansas points, wheat was short
of root growth, thin on the ground and
porly stooled, making it unusually sus-
ceptible to blowing. Messages were also
at hand today from Canada telling of
deficiency of rainfall in the last four
months. It was pointed out that never
theless the shortage in the last two
months taken together was less than in
the corresponding months Of the two
preceding years.

BY KENNETH S. VAN sTRUM.

NEW YORK, March 11.-During the
first week of President Hoover's admin
istration the stock market broke sharp
ly, became very quiet and recovered
much of the ground lost toward the end
of the week.
The stock averages do not tell the
complete story, however, for while GER
tain speculative leaders, like Radio, Vic
tor, Anaconda and Kennecott, closed
the week considerably higher, much
larger proportion of the leaders regis
tered net decline for the week.
The action of stocks on the curb and
on local exchanges followed the ma
jortity of leaders on the New York Ex-
change in their general downward
trend. Thus while certain speculative
groups seem to be fighting high money
rates successfully the general run of
stocks declined.
News from the commodity markets
did not lift the prices of special groups
as the copper and rubber stocks had
been affected the previous week. Cur
rent reports showed. however, that BUSH
reached the highest peak in
history during February, due largely to
the record production Of automobiles.
Pig iron production increased substan-
TALLY last month. also, although no new
records have been made. Furthermore.
1t appears now that the peak of pig iron
production has not yet been reached,
but that it will probably be realized this
Spring.
The Loan Increase.
The weekly statement of brokers'
loans for last week proved instructive.
Few were expecting any great increase
in brokers' loans, because, although the
general level of the market had risen
sharply, it had lost practically all of the
gains before another bank statement
was issued. Yet brokers' loans rose con-
In other words, while the

stocks maintained mean price level
for the week, which was higher than
that of the week before, only foods, steels,
stores and oils showing lower level,
and all of these declines were less than
an index point.
A less encouraging aspect appears
upon day-to-day analysis, however. Cop
pers the big performers, had their best
day last Monday and sagged moder-
ately, but rather consistently as the
week advanced. Motors and steels, very
important groups in the prosperity pic
ture, saggsd similarly.
Utilities, rails miscellaneous indus
trials, stores, preferred stocks and bonds
all had their low point earlier and
strengthened somewhat toward the
weeks close.
IndustriaIs Sag.
The highest-grade common industrials
showed the poorest results In last weeks
New York Stock Market. Their price
level for the week was up a fraction
of a per cent over the preceding week,
but they weakened persistently at the
latter end of last week.
Second and third grade industrials
advanced about 2 per cent in mean price
level for the week. The third grade
stocks alone showed an upward turn to-
ward the latter end of the week. The
gradings follow Moody's ratings.

prices of three groups of stocks traded
on the New York Stock Exchange,
