CHICAGO, May 16.-Uncertainties
resulting from proposed congressional
measures toward drastic further regu-
lation Of commodity exchanges did
much to drag grain values down much

from Aberdeen, S. Oak, after 240-
mile trip from Yankton, said drought
conditions were deplorable, and that

TULSA, Okla, May 16.-Details OF

tions and labor problems have been
shed by the oil men of the country
in celebration of the return of the
world fair of OIL" the eighth Inter-
national Petroleum Exposition and
Congress showing here this week.
Jubilant executives in various parts
of the buildings that house the ! 200
exhibit booths, boaSted before midweek
that already they had sold enough
goods to repay them for the trouble
and expense of the exposition, giving
graphic testimony that recovery for
this big industry is not all talk.
William B. Way. general manager OF
the $4,000, 900 show, estimated that
more than S25,00O, 900 business in oil
field, refinery, transportation and
marketing equipment and products
will be done by the end of the week
Much of this is expected to come from
the II foreign countries represented
Great interest was centered in the
prospective visit Thursday of Secre-
Ia 1ckes for a face-to-face talk with
the rank and file of the $4,000 900, 600
industry which he administers through
the Petroleum Administrative Board
and the Planning and Coordination
Committee in Washington.
Refiners and marketers reported
that there was a growing scarcity OF
gasoline at cut prices in the midcon-
tinent. with the East Texas area hold
ing firmly at 324 to 37s cents a gal
lon, and the rest of the group )
(Oklahoma) territory quoting 4 to Az
cents for the third grade.
Jobbers and other large purchasers
were expected to show considerable
activity the latter part of this week
Definite action looking to the in
auguration of the provisions of the
new refining section of the oil code
within the next two weeks was having
a strengthening effect on the gasoline
market.

CLEAR|NGS SHOW
SLIGHT SETBACK
New York Decline Offsets
Gains Over 1888 at
Outside Centers.
BY the Associated Press.


NEW YORK, August 3o.-Bank
clearings have suffered slight set
back, but the decline continues al
most entirely at New York City. The
total this week for all leading cities
in the United States, as reported by
Dun 81 Bradstreet. Inc, was S3,643,-
62l 900, against $3,9l2, $685. 900 for the
same week Of last year, loss of Z
per cent This contrasts with a gain
of 0.9 per cent in the previous week.
AT New York City clearings were
$2,273, $4,000, reduction of 1876 per
cent, while the aggregate for centerS
outside of New York of 81 1870 1892 900
was 15.4 per cent higher.
A number of the Western and
Southern cities continue to show a
substantial gain over last year. At
some of these points the increase re-
fleets the curtailed banking oper-
ationS prevailing at that time A de-
crease again appears at Boston. In
large part, the reduction at New York
City measures the curtailment in
financial dealings so prominent in
tne operations there; also to lesser
degree in Boston.
The notable gains this week were
at Philadelphia, Chicago, Detroit,
Cincinnati, Kansas City, Minneapolis,
Omaha, Baltimore, Atlanta, Rich
mond, New Orleans, Louisville, Dali
las. San Francisco, Portland and
Seattle. This weeks clearings fell
below those of the preceding week by
$547,O78,000, whereas last year, for
the same two weeks, the reduction
was $240, ,466. .O00 Last week the de-
crease from the week before was
500, 900, against a decline of
$355, 5,26l 900 in the preceding year.
Clearings in the last week of August
may be expected to show a smaller
total.
Figures at leading centers showing
increases and decreases as compared
with those of last year are printed
