NEW YORK, May 28.-Stock
prices rallied briskly today when an
early break to new low ground in
United States Steel failed to bring
out other important liquidation.
Heavy offerings of Steel common
we're thrown overheard during the
first half hour of trading, the issue
breaking to a new low since 1923 at
p0as. Powerful support was at
tracted at this level, however, and
Steel rallied nearly points to a
fraction above its previous closing
level.
Failure Of the market to give way
under leadership of Steel was en-
couraging to traders and a brisk
short covering movement developed
before the end of the first hour.
Considerable buoyancy marked
trading in special shares and gains
of one to half a dozen points were
common.
Auburn Auto moved up more than
5 points and amusements rallied
sharply under the leadership of the
low-priced Warner Brothers shares,
which rose nearly 2 points.
Leaders Are Bought
Market leaders such as American
Can, General Motors, American
Telephone and Westinghouse Elec-
trio responded to moderate buying
with good gains, strength in the
latter rejecting the 100000 award
for electrical equipment received
from the Pennsylvania railroad.
Almost all groups participated in
the improvement, although a few
individual issues such as Allied
Chemical were still under the in
f1uence of important liquidation.
Gold mining shares failed to better
their gains of the previous session,
but Alaska Juneau was turned over
in large blocks around its best levels
in history. Dome Mines lost nearly
half of the points advance of the
previous session made in response
to news of the discovery of another
important gold strike.
Gains Maintained
While the greater part of the
morning gains were maintained
around noon, trading showed a
tendency to dry up on sharp adj
vances, indicating that most of the
buying during the early trading
represented short covering. Never
theless, the lifting of pressure on the
list resulted in a distinct change for
the better in sentiment.
In addition to the hesitancy in
Allied Chemical, a few rail shares
continued under pressure and broke
to new lows. Both Chesapeake e.
Ohio and Chesapeake Corporation,
which hold large blocks of Pere
Marquette, continued under the in
fuence Of the omission Of Pere
Marquette common dividends
Wednesday. AtchiSon also was heavy,
while Central recovered an early o
point decline.

United Press StaT Correspondent


CHICAGO, May 28.-Wheat closed
near the top on the Board Of Trade
today after the market had fiuctu-
ated erratically although holding
above the previous close after the
initial decline. Strong short COW
ering on an eS<ly rally in stocks
ran prices up sharply to more than
l cent higher where selling against
offers was encountered.
Corn emulated wheat, running Up
around 2 cents early, but losing A
good part of the gain on subsequent
selling from holders of privileges
and profit takers. Dry weather and
dust storms in Canada aided wheat.
offsetting the precipitation this side
OF the line. Oats were firm in a cir
cumscribed range, the deferred
months setting new lows at the
start.
Close Is Firm
At the close wheat was Y to
cent higher with May 4 cent lower.
corn was 4 cent to 12z cent higher
and oats were unchanged to X
cent higher. Provisions closed
steady to weak after recovering from
new lows set early.
Liverpool continued dull during
the afternoon and finished 4 to
7s cent lower. Buenos Aires was
g cent lower near midday. Re-
ceipts were large today at leading
markets as farmers took advantage
of the stabilized prices for old crop
wheat. Cash prices were unchanged
to Il cent lower. Receipts were loo
cars.
Corn Trade Strong
Corn was nervous and unsteady
at the start, but firmed sharply
with wheat. Attempts to buy July
found the offerings light and prices
ran up more than 20, holding IL
to rs cent higher at mid-session.
Weather was favorable for crop
progress over most of the belt. Cash
prices were u to q cent lower. Re
ceiptS were 88 cars.
Oats partook of the better senti-
ment in the other pits and was I'M
changed to Is cent higher at mid
morning after starting easy and
lower. There was no feature worthy
Of mention. Cash prices were I'M
changed to Z cent lower. Receipts
were 10 cars.

Ell Kantara, Gateway to the
Desert-In travelling from Con-,
stantine to Biskra, I suddenly be-
held a cleft in the enormous
rocks, through which we could see
the road creeping up into the
plain beyond. It was the gorge
of Ell Kantara, which separates
the Algerian Tell chilly side)
from the Sahara. 1t is a COM
plete contrast between north and
south, between winter and sum-
mer. On one side the soil is dark
and fertile-on. the other it is
rosy and desert-like. The rain
stops abruptly north of Ell Kan
tara and winter never passes it.
The Mosquito Indian Word for
37-The Mosquito Indians, whose
mathematical limit is the figure
20, arrive at expressing the figure
81 by series of roundabout and
rather intricate terms. The lit

The arrival of Laval in the United
States marks the beginning of the
war conversations between Laval, as
representative of French imperial
ism, and Hoover, representative OF
Wall Street. In these conversations
the inperialist rivals will carry for
ward the bitter struggle which thus
far has been conducted around the
question OF reparations and the gold
standard. At the same time they will
try to organize a united attack
against the Soviet Union.
Because of the sharpening Of the
economic crisis and the further
weakening of the financial stability
of all Of the capitalist countries the
capitalist class recognizes this con-
ference Of Laval and Hoover as the
most important of the conferences
which have been held recently. The
New York Times correspondent in
Berlin reports that there "it is freely
conceded that the event is being en-
visaged as one of the most momen-
tous episodes in the long chain Of
recent international parleys."
