In Short Session,
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, July z2.-Whirled by
another maelstorm market, stocks
caught their breath sufficiently today to
struggle out with q net gain for the
averages.
Up at the opening, down in midmorn-
ing and up again in the late trading.
they again swung widely. But their
extreme descents were much shorter
than Fridays downward excursions and
although some bids were thinly placed
at times the market was much less
hysterical.
At the close net gains of a few cents
to "a were numerous; at the worst prices
had been of 81 to around S.. Trans
actions aggregated 4,224.070 shares, the
biggest Saturday since May 27 last when
the turnover was 4,311. $40 shares.
VIII Cut Session.
The enormous congestion of transac-
tons in brokerage Offices, necesitating
long hours of overtime labor by aug
mented clerical staffs, led the New York
Stock Exchange to announce before
the opening that beginning Monday and
continuing until further notice trading
would start at noon instead Of 10 am,
thus reducing markets to three hours
duration. Similar curtailments were an
pounced by other leading security ex-
changes here and In Chicago.
Not all the prominent stocks closed
higher, for offerings from shattered
margin accounts were still voluminous,
but such losses as occurred were mod
erate-in many cases nominal. The
Associated Press-Standard Statistics
composite closed so cents higher.
Brokers attributed the final recovery
to brisk short covering, since many
traders were unwilling to leave for the
week end with their accounts open.
Cotton, which had dropped more than

to 70 cents het. Winnipeg wheat re-
covered partially from an extreme break
Of around to cents bushel.
Revives Memories.
The Stock EXCHANGES decision to cut
down trading hours helped revive mem
cries of late 1929 when similar action
was taken as q means Of easing the
tendant upon big markets. During the
wild selling Of that year the exchange
did not open until noon on several oc-
casions. and there were some full
holidays.
Many in Wall Street would not have
been surprised had the Board Of Gov
ernors cut out today's session, but at
$50 o'clock this morning came this
announcement:

which members and the employees Of
their firms and of the Stock Clearing

BY WILEY POST.

nj A.).-Now that it's over, and
I am back where I started
from, the chief idea In my
mind is that I am dis
gusted with my flight. realize, OF
course, that I have broken the rec
ord of 8 days Is hours and 81
minutes which Harold Gatty and I
made together two years ago. but
I had expected to break 1t by q
much wider margin and am dis
appointed.
I should have made this flight
month earlier. Then I would have
escaped some Of the fogs and stormy
weather which I have had almost
ever since left New York. As
matter of fact, until well along
on the last leg Of the flight, I
had only three hours of good
weather all the way around the
world.
That was one hour going into
Moscow and two hours going out Of
Moscow. The bad weather began
nve minutes after left Floyd Ben

way. Saturday it started out as bad
as ever. Half way from Fairbanks
to Edmonton, when I was flying the
Canadian Rockies, had to fly blind
for three hours at 10000 feet.
Ice Fsrmed on Wing.
The mountains there have an
elevation Of $4,000 feet. While

down some 1t cleared up the last
half of the way into Edmonton and
then it was plain sailing until be-
tween Toronto aud New York. There
I encountered considerable smoky
haze and I also had to fly around

to the old field and meeting my
wife and friends, but there was no
thrill to the flight coming in.

that I actually thought of sitting
down and coming on in a day later.

to having the plane tuned up.
Another disappointment is that
I had hoped to see a little OF the

Other Markets May Follow.
Other markets, including those at
Minneapolis, Kansas City and Duluth,
are expected by the Department Of
Agriculture to take similar action when
they reopen, probably tomorrow.
The Chicago market Is the chief
center for trading In futures, which the
restrictions will principally affect. Trad.
ing at the other markets emphasize cash
transactions more Importantly and
largely reflect the trends of prices es-
tablished by futures trading ct Chicago.
There is prospect that the Chicago
market will remain closed tomorrow,
when q conference Of representatives
of grain exchanges and other phases
of the industry viii be held here with
Wallace and farm administrators In an
effort to plan a method for bringing
about greater stability In grain prices
and reducing speculation.
Later. 1t was reported. this conference
will be followed by others aiming to
achieve the same purposes for trading
IN cotton and other farm commodities
Statement Issued.
The revelation OF the position of the
long" trader was made in q statement
from the Department Of Agriculture
which opened:
An astounding illustration Of the re-
suit Of individual unrestrained specula-
ton as 1t affects commodity prices has
been brought to the attention of the
culture.
During the last administration q
regulation requiring the reporting Of
all large grain holdings on the Chicago
Board Of Trade was rescinded and the
regulation was not revived by this ad-
ministration because it was believed
that individual spectators had learned
that It was contrary to public policy for
individuals to gamble so heavily IN
wheat, corn and other grains that the
prices to the farmers producing the
grain could be thrown wholly out OF
line with the board economic situation.
Early this week the department
came to the conclusion that the old
order calling for information should be
reinstated and this was done on Thurs-
day.
Break in Prices Threatened.
To-day 1t turns out that one man,
who had been long on corn by roughly
100000 bushels and was probably
also long on other grains to the extent
of several million bushels was caught
in the decline of prices during the past
few days, was unable to put up any
more margin and would have to be sold
out.
This selling out process would mean
in effect that by Monday morning, his
brokers, II in number, would be COM
PEELED to dump $4,000 900 bushels Of
corn and several million bushels Of
other grain on the market and this
dumping would naturally cause severe
break in grain prices-aI the result OF
the selfish speculation of one In

This speculator Is only one Of sew
eral who have traded wildly in large
volume on both sides Of the market.

RECORD YEAR FOR
CORN SALES

The Peterson Company reports
Il record year In the sale Of seed
corn this year. G. w. Peterson,
manager of the company, told the
Herald that three shipments OF
5000 pounds each had already been
shipped III and he was certain that
ut least another shipment would
be necessary. This will make o
total Of $4,000 pounds Of seed corr
sold by one p~lentywood firm to be
used in Sheridan county.
When asked as to q comparison
with years past, Mr.. Peterson said,
1T Is nothing short of astonishing
the way farmers OF Sheridan coun-
ty are going to corn. Not over
four years ago we were shipping In
only Il few sacks Of seed to supply
the demand where now we sell in
terms Of hundreds of sacks" Mr..
PETERSON said he knew of many
farmers who were planting corn in.
stead Of following the regular sum
mer fallow practice. This not only
leaves the land In better condition,
but gives the farmer an additional
source Of revenue from his corn
crop.
Many farmers are adding corn tc
their list Of feed crops this year,
and many others who have been
experimenting with it the past few
years are adding to their acreage
tbs season. 1t Is estimated there
will be more than 80 farmers, each
OF whom will be putting In more
than a hundred acres OF + To-
tai corn acreage In the county will
exceed ten thousand acres this
year.
