WHEAT CLOSES LOWER.

CHICAGO, June 81 CP).-Despite
per Spring wheat prospects have disap-
peared, wheat values today developed
notable weakness, especially in the late
dealings. Speculative selling pressure
revealed the market was at least tenn
porarily minus any aggressive support.
Rains in parts of the American and
Canadian Northwest and slackness of
export demand for wheat from North
America promoted selling. Notice was
likewise taken that many of the heavier
crop damege reports from the South
west gave reductions from much high
er expectations than were used in Of
fetal estimates.
Wheat closed heavy, 1M to 2sk net
lower: corn, q to down; oats. q to "a
off. and provisions falling to 20 cent
decline.

ing and selling for reaction, which
many traders believed was overdue
turned into irregularity what gave
every promise at the opening of the
Curb Exchange of developing into the
most active and broadest advance since
the recovery set in.
While the rise in the main body of
issues was well maintained along more
conservative lines. utility stocks fur
niShed the greatest excitement. De-
spite the transfer of United Gas I'M
orovement new shares to the big board,
the old common did not suffer in pop
uIarity, and climbed steadily to the best
price on record, approaching the 250
level.
Holding Company Shares.
Revived buying of some of the utility
holding company shares formed within
the past month or so was an interest
ing feature Commonwealth g. South
ern was turned over in enormous
blocks opening on a 40,000-share trans
action and advancing above the 25 level
for the first time on the recovery frcm
mand for the issue reawakened interest
in issues of companies in which it owns
a substantial interest. The rise in util-
ity stocks on the big board also exerted
a powerful influence IN such standard
representatives as Electric Bond &
Share, Electric Investors American Gas
& Electric and American Superpower.
The last rose to a new peak under the
present form of capital.
The new Morgan-Carlisle unit, Mag
ara Hudson Power, and the shares in
which it has invested did not partici-
pate in the movement, which was prob
ably explained by the fact that quiet
profit taking has been going on since
the basis Of share exchange became
known.
A longer list of miscellaneous issues
were in better demand and made their
best prices of the week. Among the
outstanding performers was Pennroad
Corporation. 1t touched the previous
best of the current advance and con-
tinued among the active features.
Amcslg the other industrials to record
notable improvement were U. S.
Freight, Walgreen, Wick Financial, Tung
Sol Lamp, TubiZe Silk and the in
vestment company favorites, like Gold
man Sachs, Haygart and Transamerica.
Other Changes.
Announcement of the formation of
gigantic holding company for number
of aviation concerns failed to exert
much influence on the group as a
whole, although keystone, which is in
cluded in the transaction, opened with

vanced further later in the session.
Most of the others simply drifted and
a few displayed heaviness. Fairchild

LONDON, April 26.-Grand Duke
Michael of Russia cousin Of the late
Gear, died here this morning.
Grand Duke Michael suffered an at
tack Of influenza late In the Winter.
which left him weak, and his family
had given up hope he might live some
days past.
The grand duke was for years an inn
portant figure in London society and
smart Anglo-American circles on the
Riviera. where he spent most of his
time. Although his fortunes were badly
depleted by the Russian revolution. he
still was able to maintain fine Lon
don residence and beautiful villa 1T
Cannes. where he sometimes entertained
lavishly.
In 1891 he contracted . morganAtic
marriage with Countess Torby at San
Reno end they lived together tlevotetlly
until her death In London In Septem-
Der, 1927. She was one Of the most
famous OF London hostesses and had
many social gifts.
Their two daughters married into the
British nobility, one being Lady zia
Wenher, wife of Maj. Sir Harold Wen
her of London, and the other Countess
Milford Raven. whose husband Is n
cousin of King George. They also had
a son. Count Michael Torby.
On the continent Michael was known
as "Miche-Miche," nickname which
was in odd contradistinction to his i'm
posing soldierly appearance.
The grand duke was deeply affected
by his wifes death two years ago and
his health was never the same after
ward. Although his family disapproved
Of his marriage with her, their life to-
gether was one of romance, both stead
tasty clinging to their early affection
for each other. Because of this mar
riage he spent most OF his life in exile
from his native land.
