GRAINS SLUMP

PRICE CHANGES
Forecast of Showers Over
Drought Area Starts
Selling Wave.
BY HARTMAN w. NICHOLS
United Press Staff Correspondent

CHICAGO. May 10. - Cross cur
rents Of influence factors induced
an unsettled tendency over grain
prices on the Board of Trade yes
terday.
Wheat closed Is to Is cents
lower, corn was up to L to ss cent,
and oats we're = to l cent lower.
Drought continued throughout the
spring wheat belt with only scat
tered rains reported in Alberta and
southwestern Saskatchewan and in
parts of Montana. Forecast for
showers brought sellers into the
market early and at the extreme
wheat sold off about two cents from
yesterdays close.
Aggregate trade, however, was
not large and the market was easily
influenced. Price changes through
out the day were erratic with the
trade paying attention TO the action
of stocks and the Winnipeg market.
Part of the rapid price changes was
regarded as due to the lack of
balance wheel in the way of broad
OubSlOC llllCICob III bAlC 4lidl kCb.
The shower report from Alberta
had depressing effect on the Ca
madam market and wheat prices
there averaged lower for the day.
Liverpool closed early today, Il to
Is cent lower, and will not open
again until Tuesday morning, OBJ
serving the Whitsuntide holidays.
Corn showed more strength than
other grains and averaged higher
with buying headed by local opera
tors. Complaints of serious chinch
bug damage came from points in
Illinois and Iowa. Trade in oats was
moderate and prices held to thin
limits.
Provisions were dull with prices
showing little change.

Average of Ten High Grade

Since 1915.
BY ELMER c. WALLER
United Press Financial Editor

NEW YORK, May 19. - Stocks
eased of near the close yesterday
after moving in a narrow range most
Of the session. Trading continued
light. Losses at the end of the day
ranged upward to more than 2
points.
Silver and silk made small gains,
while rubber and cotton eased. Ac-
tivity in stocks centered on General
Motors and Chrysler, which eased
fractions to more than a point.
United States Steel lost more than
a point, as did American Can,
American Commercial Alcohol,
Bethlehem Steel, General Electric,
Western Union, American Tele-
phone, Westinghouse Electric, Ow-
ns-Illinois Glass and Loew's.
Silver issues reacted downward,
with United States Smelling off 2
points. Rails dipped on a decline
in car loadings. Utilities were easier
Mail order shares and farm equip
ments declined with grains. CopperS
dipped.
Operators Withdraw
Narrowness of the list is seen in
the fluctuation of leading issues. In
United States Steel the range was a
little more than a point, while the
high priced Allied Chemical moved
over a 2-point arc. WoolWorth
moved between a high of 81 and a
low of SOS. Montgomery Ward had
a 5s-point fluctuation
Many operators had withdrawn
from the market and dealings we're
mostly of routine
Late in the day aviation shares
appeared somewhat steadier than
the others. Word from Washing
ton told of discussion of the air mail
bill, with main points of difference
holding companies, interlocking di-
rectorates and granting interstate
commerce commission jurisdiction
over rates and routes.
U. S. Dollar Dull
The American dollar lapsed into
dullness and leading currencies were
little changed. Wall Street inter
preted this as evidence the Euro
peans had concluded the proposed
silver legislation did nto involve
sufficient inflationary power to in
fluence dollar quotations in terms
Of foreign currencies.
The bond market did better than
other markets. The DoW-Jones
average of ten high-grade railroad
issues made a new high since 1915.
United States governments made
small gains
Stock sales yesterday approximated
10000 shares. against 100000
shares Thursday. Curb sales were
248,OOO shares, against 10000 shares
Thursday.
Dow-Jones preliminary averages
showed industrial 95.17. off 81 point;
railroad 1854, up .O1 point, and
utility 1880, off % point.

and probably rightfully so from one
point Of view. that the interests of
members could best be served if lit
tie or no outside interference was
permitted. The governors, it was
pointed out. we're better informed
on the Exchanges problems and
needs than any outsider possibly
could be, and since they were Sc
lected because of their responsibility
and integrity no one should criticise
the manner in which they admins
tered its affairs.
From time to time in the past ef-
forts were made to place some kind
of public regulation over the Ex-
change. Many people felt that, to
a very large degree, it was public
utility. inasmuch as its duties we're
primarily those of public service and
that it derived its support entirely
from public transactions. Moreover
it was argued that the Exchange S
activities had a direct bearing on
the business life of the country and,
consequently. such activities should
be supervised.
The Indianapolis times., 1934-05-19

IT is rather doubtful that such
u broad statement is warranted.
That the exchange left its guard
down by taking the position that its
business was none of the public's
business is obvious. And it is rea-
sOnable to assume that had it not
maintained its high hat" attitude
the regulations about to be imposed
would have been much less severe.
But in recent years even many eX-
change people. including Mr. Whit
ney himself, have declared them
selves in favor of some kind of rea-
sonable federal regulation. and,
with the tide moving in that direc-
ton, it probably was but a matter
of time before restrictions were
placed on its operations.
In shaping the exchanges new
policy toward the public-asSuming
such a policy is to be framed
Maurice L. Farrell, senior partner
in F. S. Smithers & Co. and one
of the newly elected governors, is
likely to play an important part.
His experience some years ago as
managing editor of the Wall Street
Journal should be invaluable to the
exchange in that work.
The Indianapolis times., 1934-05-19

DUT such efforts never proved
- very fruitful until recent
months. when the depression,
brought on party at least by spec
ulation excesses on the exchange,
fostered the idea of supervision.
President Roosevelt called for regu-
lation early in his administration,
the senate investigation gave him
the basis upon which to make his
wish a command. and now congress
is about to enact such a measure
into law. Passage of this legislation
will mark the end of the Club idea
for the exchange.
One can only surmiSe the devel-
opmentS which led up to the re-
placement of the three governors
serving on the exchanges publicity
committee. Perhaps they resigned
of their own accord. Maybe they
were asked to step down for the
good of the cause. At any rate,
there are those among the eX-
changes membership who feel that
had the proper relations been es-
tablished between the institution
and the public the regulation which
is now about to go into effect never
would have become a reality.

SPEEDBOY SQUADS CLASH SATURDAY. IN FIRST CONTEST
Start of Home and Home Contests at St JOseph's COurt-Girls in Prelim

The Knights of Lithuania Speed boys and the Hopeville Speedboys, two of the city's outstanding semi pro clubs in the independent ranks will claIh in the first of a series of tilts at St Joseph's hall, Sat- urday evening. A large attend ance is expected as several hundred followers of both clubs will be on hand to witness the battle of the season between the two Speedboys' quintets. The game is scheduled about 9 D. m., with John Cluney as the -1th man on the court.
 The K. of l.. quintet will start their regular lineup off; Eddie Stevens and Joe Boley at forwards, Captain Joe Swasey at the pivot position, and Duke Baron and Bubbles" Balinsky in the back court. Benni and Eddie Labutis, Frank Swasey, Pranskaitis, Gris- ka and Terry will be on the re- serve squad. The Hopeville array will probably start Frank O'Don- nell and Jack Grady at forwards, Bartonini, center and Roy Dubuque and Alex 0azzerella, guards.
 Two preliminaries will precede the main tussel. The first at 7:30 D. m., will bring together the strengthened K. of l.. Juniors and the Brooklyn Shadows, the latter team making a fine showing in Mel Kelley's Brooklyn Y. M. c.

Facing tine second IS holes of the. four-day Masters Invitation tournament-his first competitive play in more than three years the game little Atlantan hoped to come from behind, just as he did so gloriously back in 1925, when he won the National Open at Worcester.
 Bobby was still confident, al- though 34 of Nhe nations crack linksmen were ahead of him sharpshooters he had invited to tilt on his own Augusta national course.
 Still partnered with young Paul Runyan of White Plains, N. Y., who had been a co-faovrite with Bobby, the latter found himself in six-way tie for 35th place. He had a 76 for his first IS holes, four strokes above par and six strokes behind the three pace-set ters, Horton Smith of New York and Emmett French of Southern Pines, and Jimmy Hines of Tim Der Point, N. Y. They had 70's to top the field of 72.
 This same field will continue, without eliminations, the pursuit of the Masters title and the $1,500 first prize until dusk Sunday. and despite Jones' confidence the ex- perts fear that the wizard of the fairways, who made a golfing grand slam in 1880, will not be the winner. They are certain that he will not unless he lifts his short game considera bly,.
 French. Smith and Hines blazed around the course in 70, and breathing on their necks with 71's were Henry Pickard of Charleston, S. C.; Craig Wood, blond driver from Deal, N. J.; Burley Johnny Golden of Noroton, Conn, and the everlasting Walter Hagen of De- troit.
 Right on their heels came Ky Laffoon, Denver, and Billy Burke, one- time national open champion. They had even par 72's. In strik- ing distance of the lead with 73's were Denny Shute of Philadelphia, British open titleholder; Leo Diegel, former national open cham pion, and the virtually unknown Joe Paletti of Chicago.
 Starting times for the field will be reversed to-day.

He has promised to give a talk next Saturday evening on elementary bowling and then go into details on professional pin sters.
 Barely missing high average by several percentage points Leonard Ciresi has the distinction Of acc cumulating the highest pinfaii, the reason being that he participated in more games than the leader. However, the leader, Mir. Joseph Mazzaluppo is by no means slOuch in the art of pin-toppling.

PlayOff Game for Brooklyn " Teams Set for
 Next Thursday

By virtue of their victories over the Speedboys and Cowboys, the Reymond Hillies and Shadows finished in a tie for first place in the second round of the Brooklyn Interclub league and will meet in a playoff game next Thursday night.
 POmponiO Excels
 Led by Pete Pomponio, Wilby high school star the Hillies had little trouble setting back the Speedboys by a 41-0 margin as the former green and white for ward dropped in seven double deckers to carry off scoring hon ors for the night. The winners ran up a 12-2 lead in the first quar- ter and were out in front 17-2 at half time. With Freddy Sullivan and Armand Cunha aiding Pom ponio in the scoring in the second half the doughboys baffled the los CTS with their passing and managed to work the ball in under the hoop for easy shots which accounted for the large score. George Berardi scored two baskets for the losers to top lis teams scoring. Last nights good news:
