lative situation exists. This is further
brought out in the series of "A charts
showing the trend of market values in
these groups in 1929 and up to the pres
ent date. In this respect the compila-
tons of the New York Stock Exchange
Bulletin are more comprehensive and
instructive than those available in the
different popular financial services.
On May l the total number of COM
mon shares listed on the New York
Stock Exchange was l ,088, ,621 BAT. This
represented the stocks Of 1853 separate
companies in the United States and
abroad. The total market value of these
shares on May l was 66.669, ,793, ,607.
with the average price s61.24. The
total number of preferred shares listed
was 110 ,682 ,081, with a market value Of
S8,634, ,814 sos, and an average price Of
$78.01 share.
Bond Statistics.
In the compilation of bonds the same
general division into groups and sub
groups has besn carried out in the
bulletin. The par value of listed bonds
is given. This, on May /, amounted to
$49, ,678, ,901 ,677 The market value was

April of $225 900 900, compared with one

ferred stocks. Most of the latter oc-
Cured in the public utility S nior shares,
which have made more of response
to cheap money in the last few weeks
than have bonds.
Another interesting fact developed by
the figures in the bulletin is that the
total par value of all foreign govern
ment bonds listed on the exchange is
sic, ,803, ,459,757, while the total market
value of these issues Is $16,293 ,234, ,367.
This does not mean, however, that the
difference between the two amounts
represents a shrinkage, for great
many-in fact, the majority-of foreign
issues were sold at a discount and are
still on discount basis. On the other
hand, the par value of all United States
Federal and municipal bonds listed Is
just short of $4,000 000,0 900, and their
market value about 1920, 100000 greater
than par value. Next to United States
Government and foreign issues, the
largest proportion of listed bonds is that
of the railroad industry, which repre-
sents approximately 20 per cent Of the
total.

GRAIN MARKET

CHICAGO, May 81 R.-Despite
transient setbacks owing to increased
offerings from the Southwest at times,
the wheat market here averaged higher
today. Some of the buying that accom-
panied advances in price was credited
to the influence of traders who were
active in expressing themselves as "bull-
ish on the United States" and in con-
tending that declines in commodity
prices are unjustified by the actual
economic outlook. Taken as a whole,
the aggregate of trading was light, and
the market easily influenced.

at long range Jess connected with l
good solid left TO the jaw, and came
in close to do little body work. This
seems to be just what the miner
wanted and he hooked with a left and
right to the jaw and the fight was
over. Jess going down for the count.
The boys fought good clean fight
and both are Loud in their praises for
the other fellow. Jess says the best
man won and he has no excuses to
another chance at the Giant but that
is another story. Richmond said that.
it was q hard battle and that Jess
is the hardest guy he ever went up
against. He says that he was treated
fairly by the crowd. Being stranger
here the Giant was not counting much
on support from the spectators. He
says that the fans in Libby are the
best sports he has ever met up with,
and hopes that he will always be able
to keep their goodwill.
Bill Seins handled the preliminaries
and did first class job of it. He
kept the boys going and there wasn't

he handled.

hit with the crowd and has established
himself as a first class referee.
