MINOT, N. Oak, July 25.-The hold
for dollar wheat movement in North
Dakota was spreading today.
Declaring they cannot make expenses
at present grain prices, farmers have
organized to boost the amount of re-
turn.
With Federal estimates that North
Dakota's crop in 1882 may be 124 ,000,-
total, an increase of one-third or more
in the price will mean considerable
One group has demanded an embargo
on shipment of wheat from North Da-
kota, South Dakota and Montana unit
1t reached $12O for No. l dark north

Embargo Unlikely.
Indications today were that there
would be no official embargo in the
three States. which 1000 persons. most
ly farmers from II counties, urged Fri.
day at Minot.
Gov. G. F. Shafer of North Dakota
and Gov. W. E. Green of South Dakota
said they had no authority to take such
action. A. H. Stafford, Montana COM
missioner of agriculture. asserted he
would advise Gov. j. e. Erickson Of
that State that the proposal Is un-
necessary.
Another resolution adopted at the
Minot meeting asked the Federal Gov
eminent to advance 81 per acre to help
harvest crops in Northwestern North
Dakota, which was affected by last years
drought. From 80 to 90 per cent oi
the farmers in that section were re-
ported unable to purchase harvesting
supplies.
Movement Spreads.
The first movement for higher prices,
started recently by Dell Willis, Tolna
farmer, has spread into several hundred
townships, with the producers signing
pledges to keep their grain until the
dollar level Is reached at Winnipeg for
the best grades. The holding of wheat
would start August l and Willis said it
would be kept until there Is demand
for it at the 81 minimum.
Willis said he had received kilograms
inquiring about his plan from farmers
in Washington, Colorado, oregon, Wis
consin. Iowa, South Dakota, Minnesota
and Nebraska.
We'll have to have higher prices for
our product or we'll sink" said Willis.

CURB STOCKS Off
IN SMALL TRADING
Most Declines Are Held to

Remain Cautious.
BY JOHN A. CRONE.

Special Dispatch to The Star.

and prices declined
Pivotal shares, however, held to frac-
tional losses, the wide breaks taking
place almost entirely in inactive or
secondary issues. Electric Bond q
Share. Cities Service and Standard Oil
of Indiana had small declines.
With traders more interested In ma
tional and international events, they
were disposed to ignore trade or cor
porate news. Thus the betterment in
automotive sales, the opening of the
International Petroleum Conference
here, and an advance in retail cigarette
prices had virtually no effect on prices
Of motor. oil and tobacco shares. The
volume of trade, however, was about IS
per cent greater than during recent

Kaufman Department Stores had indi-
Gated that the 81 preferred dividend
would be maintained. Woolworth, Ltd,
was down half point and fairly active
despite the closing of the London mar
ket today because of the Whitsuntide
holiday.
Such specific corporate news about
petroleum companies as was an

fec on the individual issues concerned.

earnings of 5 cents a share against Z

AVERAGES DIFFER
ON STOCK LEVELS
Experts Seek Some Gauge
for Present Trends on
Exchange.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, May 16.-How low Is
the stock market?
After more than two and one-half
years Of painful declines this question
would seem imperatively to need an
swering.
But different series of figures tell
different stories. One series Of in
dustrial share price averages, which
dates back to 1897, is currently hover
ing close to the low levels of 1914 and
1907. Another, which dates back to
1911, is still well above the lows of
even the comparatively recent postwar
slump of 1921. Another. which dates
back to 1911, is still well above the
lows of even the comparatively recent
postwar slump Of 1921.
Comparison Is Difficult.
The total value Of all listed shares
on the New York Stock Exchange Is
currently close to $40, 1000, 600. 900. but
this tabulation goes back only to 1925.
The current valuation is some s7,000.-
900 900 under the 1925 low level but
since that time, the number Of listed
shares has increased from roughly AGO.
600, 900 to more than l 300, 900 600, so
comparison can scarcely be made.
The vast increase in the volume OF
outstanding securities, and the numer-
GUS corporate changes, such as stock
splitups and mergers, as well as the
growth of some companies and the
wane of others, make comparisons OF
price levels over q long range decidedly
difficult.
The industrial shares are presum-
ably the best group to take at this
time for purposes Of comparison, for the
utilities have become a major group
only since the World War, and the
rails, dominant group in pre-war
days, have been nosed out Of first place
by other groups in later years.
Near 1914 Low Level.
The Dow-Jones price average Of in
dustrial shares, now based on 80 issues,
closed yesterday at 53.2, which makes
an interesting comparison with the low
points Of the last three major slumps::
1t is some 10 points under the low OF
the postwar depression OF 1921, out
it comedies exactly with the low figure
of 1914. when the market was swamped
with frightened selling by the outbreak
of the World War. And 1t Is but
fraction of a point above the low
reached in the 1907 money pinch.
The Standard Statistics weekly index
of 35I industrials. which has been car
ried back to 1918, has touched low at
38.6 or well under the 1921 low OF 44.9.
The New York Times price average OF
25 industrials however. still holds sew
eral points above the 1921 low. and far
above the 1914 bottom. This series runs
back to 1911.

STARS OPPOSE
SPORT PLAN

NEW HAVEN, Conn, May 80.
The fun and informality" Sys-
tenn of Yale athletics, announced
recently by President James r.
Angel, was sharply criticised by
Albie Booth, Edward Rotan and
John S. Wilhus, trio of Eli sports
luminarieS, in a signed statement
published by the Yale Daily News
today.
The proposals. as set forth by
a survey committee, including a
five-game football schedule, linn
tied practice, and amateur coach
ing, was drawn up. the three
stars contended, without respect
to undergraduate opinion.
They r..Liculed the suggestion
that a football team can begin
training october /, branding it as
physically suicidal" The "drudg-
cry Of long training periods"
they termed a myth.
The projected schedule curtail-
ment. to include only five games
with traditional rivals, not inter
sectional, drew fire. Players are
entitled to at least seven games,
the Booth-Rotan-Wilbur protest
contended.
Doubt was expressed that anna
teur coaches could be found able
to mairtain the present essential
standard Of excellence" The
three athletes urged retention of
pair coaches.
Less efficient and losing teams
will be the ultimate result of the
committees formation proposals,
the statement continued, asking,
in conclusion, whether the "herit-
age" built by so years Of Yale'S
winning football teams is to be
discarded?

DUEL THURSDAY
GRIPS FANS

Washington'S wrestling fandom
is evincing more interest in the
Londos-G -Grobmier duel at the
Clark Griffith Stadium Thursday
night than the forthcoming
Lewis -Shikat tilt which the New
York Athletic Commission has
billed for the world heavyweight
championship.
Local fans are unconcerned as
to who will win the New York
match for they still rate LondoS
as champion. This is indicated
in the heavy advance sale re-
ported by Promoter Joe Turner'S
headquarters.
The Greek packs plenty Of
color and the fans never tire OF
him, though he has visited this
city a dozen times in the course
of the past two years. Many
out-of-town fans have reserved
seats for Thursdays match.
Londos will have to call upon
his best to down the lanky Fred
Grobmier. The latter has not
met defeat since making his
debut here during the recent
winter. He toppled over foe after
foe, proving himself worthy of a
match with Londos. The Greek,
who says he's champion until
beaten, must avoid Grobmier's
deadly "hook" scissors.
