Special Dispatch to The Star.


NEW YORK, July 6-Few changes
were made in price schedules in the
markets for heavy and fine chemicals
last week. tho Oil. Paint and Drug
Reporter will say in its July 8 issue.
1.-THE weight of the holiday was heavy
in all respects, the influence being in
creased by the taking of midyear in
Ventories. Activity in the large con-
suming industries was at a minimum,
some textile plants having been closed
all week. Spotty, seasonal buying was
the rule in all divisions.
Higher prices were named for
black oxide of cobalt, sulphate of CO.
bait, and Singapore dammar Reduc-
tions were made in quotations on
needle antimony, imported dried blood,
and Japanese sardine meal. Higher
prices were expected for codliver oil
because of poor fishing in Norway.
Firmer tones in crude napthalene
abroad were reflected locally. The
supply of coaltar solvents reflected
locally. The supply of coal-tar solv-
ents continued light, but demand did
not improve
The Reporters composite index
number of prices for heavy and fine
chemicals was unchanged at 1858
compared with August /, 1914, as
100). In comparison with average
prices, in 1926 (as 1000, the Report
er's index number is now 800, against
895 at this time last year.

Chicago Grain

By the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, July 6.-Wheat. rye and
oats all tumbled today IN fresh bot
tom price record fer the season.
Indications of decided enlargement
of arrivals of newly harvested domes-
tic Winter wheat from the Southwest
next week, together with persistent
uncertainty regarding what disposition
will be made Of Canada's big wheat
surplus, were chiefly responsible. At
today's low point wheat showed a
setback Of more than 9 cents a
bushel as compared with Mondays
high.
Wheat closed nervous, 21a-2sl un-
der yesterdays finish, Sept, 791s-A !;
Corn. A-l3s. advanced, Sept, 741s-
9s; Oats, 1s-l4 off. and provisions
unchanged to Is cents higher.
Renewal of distress selling en- the
part of holders of future delivery
wheat contracts took place on 8 heavy
scale here toward the last today si-
multaneous with downward plunges of
prices to record low levels. Rallies that
followed in the final dealings were
only of fractional extent. From the
outset, prices here felt the pearish
effects of sharp downturns of quota
tions at Liverpool, where liquidating
sales were reported as inspired by
passage of the new Canadian market
ing law, measure looked upon in
various quarters as likely to bring
about an international price-cutting
war.
For while during the middle of
the day, considerable resistance to
further downtur1ls of wheat prices
became apparent, with a good deal Of
buying based on the fact that declines
this week had been severe. Some
notice was also taken C reports that
black rust spores in the Canadian
prairie provinces are more numerous
than is ordinarily tire rule at this time
of year. and that rust could develop
fast in States south Of the Canadian
border if weather became unfavor-
able. General confidence in regard
to the buying side Of wheat, however,
was still absent at the close.

CORPORATE BONDS
CONTINUE TO RISE
Averages for All Domestic
Groups Except Rails Pen
citrate Old Peaks.
BY the Associated Press.

NEW YORK, July 6.-The corporate
bond market lost none Of its liking for
higher price levels during today's brief
session. U. S. Governments also
moved upward.
The Associated Press averages for all
domestic groups except rails pene-
trated their old 1885 highs at e82 for
the industrials, $40 for the utilities
and 110.6 for the low-yield group
During the week ended today the aver
age of both the utility and industrial
groups made new highs for the year
on four of the five trading days and
the low-yield group entered new peaks
on two days.
The same group of leaders that
steered the market through a full
week of uninterrupted advances were
conspicuous again today. They in
cluded Chile Copper IS, at 9512, Inter-
national Paper SIS at n, Youngstown
Sheet & Tube IS at 981s, Laclede Gas
515s at II, Tennessee Electric Power IS
at 103a, Santa Fe As at Ill, and
Peoples Gas IS at 107.
Southern Issues Ease.
The steady stream of offerings of
various issues of bonds of the South
ern Railway which has puzzled the
market for several days continued
without abatement today. Losses
ranged from to points and diff
fered from recent sessions only in the
fact that the turnover in most of the
loans was smaller. Investment quar-
ters have not yet received what is re-
garded as a satisfactory explanation
of the selling movement in this road S
securities which has embraced both
stocks and bonds.
Other railroad bonds were steady
and price changes generally small.
Great Northern 41as and Pere Mar
quette were among others moving a
shade higher, while losses were shown
by Northern Pacific IS and Illinois
Central As
U. S. Bonds Very Quiet.
Although trading remained ex-
tremely quiet in Government bonds,
the group went through the full ses-
sion without showing some signs cf
faltering for the first time this week.
Closing prices we're the best of the
day and ranged, among active issues,
from 1-32nd to 3-32nds higher. Treas
ury 334s of 1916 appeared on the tape
for the first time since Wednesday at
1l0.14, up 10-32nds.
Foreign bonds were quiet. There
was a slackening of pressure against
public and private Italian bonds.
Transfers aggregated s4,730,00O, par
value, compared with S4,732,0OO last
Saturday.

SCIENTIST GIVES
NEW VIEW ON
COSN|C RAY

A new insight on the nature
of the cosmic ray was presented
to the American Physical Society
today by DR.. w. F. G. Swami,
director of the Bartol Research
Foundation, of Philadelphia, an
affiliate of the Franklin 1nsti-
tute, when he described these
mysterious emanations from the
stars as sort of heavenly ma
chine gun. splitting forth Sec
ondary rays with mechanical pre-
ciSion."
Scientists are in general agree
ment that primary cosmic rays
sare either protons or charged
particles. If they are protons,
their most natural source. accord
ing to the famous physicist,
Millikan, Is to be found in energy
liberated during the actual an
initiation of matter or in the
transmutation of matter from
one form to another.
Three Ways Possible
If, however, the charged par.
ticle hypothesis is considered,
these rays may be produced, &C.
cording to DR.. Swami, in any
of three ways:
!. Through large velocities
in electric fields caused by
thunderstorms and the stars.
2. Through velocities from
changing magnetic fields, which
is the same principle as used
in the production Of current
from a dynamo.
3. Through velocities Of
charged particles from the in
fluence of relatively small
fields originating in stellar
galaxies and operating over
great distances.
Conventional views of coSmic
rays on the Charged particle"
theory set forth that their energy
distribution is the same at all alti-
tudes. DR.. Swami dismisses this
belief as naive" He asserts that
his "machine-gun' theory of the
rays is in line with the laws of
absorption. That is to say, the
rate of the firing of these sec.
ondary rays varies with the en-.
ergy of the primary rays, and the
energy Of the primary ray dimin.
ishes with the decrease in alti.
tude.
According to DR.. Swami, his
conclusions on cosmic rays we're
designed to harmonic a wide
range of observed phenomena and
concurrent activities associated
with the rays and their measure
ment.

"Under the plea Of an emer.
