QUAKE PROPHET
EXPECTS MAJOR
SHOCK JULY 29
GreenSpan to Name Danger
Spot for TembIor in a
Few Days.

BIZ United Press
NEW YORK, July "a. - When
Reuben Greenspan announces his
forecast in a day or so" of a major
earthquake that will occur July 90
or 80, people in the danger zone
probably will take heed.
The 31-year-old astronomer
mathematician has predicted 10

York university, he added. The
position has been offered, he said.
and he is elated at the prospect of
getting equipment and assistance to
refine his calcula tons, making the
time and place of the quakes more
specific.
Mr.. Greenspan turned his atten-
ton to earthquakes last November.
He made an important gravitational
discovery, he said, and then began
the tedious and difficult task of
testing it. In April he was satisfied
with his findings and made his
first forecast for April 90. Trem-
ors shook the Azores that day,
affirming his prediction.

Demand for railroad equipments
was based on outlook for pickup

cents lower in early trading at the
Indianapolis Union StockyardS to-
day, with exception of a few light
lights and slaughter pigs holding
steady at the previous close. Deal

divisions.
The moderate decline, however,
came in the fact of the usual sharp
decrease in receipts for weekend

mated at only $500. Demand was
extremely light throughout the ses-
sion.
The general bulk of 100 to 235
pounds was selling from $3.50 to

ranging from 235 to 275 pounds,

WHEAT VALUES
DROP SHARPLY
IN LIGHT TRADE
Hedging Pressure, Limited
Demand Are Weak
Factors.
By Omitted Press

~ CUtttU PTGSS
CHICAGO, July 13.-An indiffer-
ent attitude on the part of buyers
was reflected in lower wheat prices
today on the Chicago Board of
Trade.
AT the end wheat was IA to rs
cents lower. Corn was u cent lower
to a cent higher, and oats were off
Is to p cent.
Weather conditions served as the
backstop for the majority of opera
tons in the wheat pit. Tempera-
lures over the Northwest remained
moderately low to check the possible
spread of rust in that section.
Hedging pressure also appeared to
aid in depressing prices.
At the extreme wheat futures were
off around 2 cents Selling was not
aggressive on the downturn, how
ever, and the decline generally was
the result of limited demand.
Trade in corn was limited, but
light and scattered buying held
prices around the previous close.
There was some buying of Septe1l-
Der which appeared to be against
sales of other grains. Offerings r.
the current month remained light
Interest in oats was extremely
light, but prices held near the pre-
vious finish. Little attention was
paid to weakness in wheat. There
were reports of heavy damage from
rust in Central Illinois. Rye eased
with wheat. Provisions we're easy.

money direct. Miscellaneous charges
are consolidated to such an extent
that it would take corp of Phiia-
delphia lawyers to determine the
exact cost of the deferred payment
privilege.
The legislation affecting finance
companies provides for limiting the
interest on instalment contracts.
All such companies doing this type
of business must be licensed by the
state. Furthermore, the instalment
seller must state in the contract
the cash price on which the finance
charge is based.
Organizations which sell on the
deferred payment plan and hold
their own paper are subject to
somewhat the same regulation.
Commercial banks and loan and in
vestment companies, whenever they
have their finger in the instalment
sale pie, must also conform to reg
ulations.
Finance companies sometimes
make direct loans under the guise of
a purchase followed by a conditional
sale. This occurs when the finance
company buys product for $500
and sells it back for $3.50, to be
paid in monthly installmentS. The
$50 charge is thus hidden in the
sales price. The new law declares
that this type of transaction is I'M
lawful.
Thus the regulations applying to
finance companies center activity on
the finance companies themselves.
The chief restriction on the dealer
is that he must give copy of the
inStallment contract to the buyer
and that he must not charge a
higher rate than is allowed by the
department. The dealer, however,
is free to sell his paper wherever he
chooses. They are not then sub
ject to pressure from manufacturers
to sell paper to a actory affiliated
finance company.
The advantages to the consumer
are obvious. He is guaranteed a
finance charge which is deemed fair
by the department and he is able to
determine, for the first time, what
the cost of the purchased article is
and how much the financing service
charges are.
