Stock Averages
BY VICTOR EUBANK,
Associated Press Financial Writer.

NEW YORK, July 6.-Despite
quiet strength among metals and
speclalties in today's stock market,
many old-line leaders fingered at
slightly lower levels.
The list generally displayed rising
reluctance at the start. There were
sporadic climbs later. Gains ran to
point or SO for favorites at the
close, with one or two up as much
as 5. Fractional declines, however,
were widely distributed.

quently, transfers for the five hours
approximated 100000 shares.
The turn about of the Senate in
restoring the Presidents currency
validating powers and upping the
price OF domestic silver was hardly
a surprise to Wall Street and, aside
from pushing up stocks of silver
producing companies, apparently left
the market temperature about where
it was.
A Slightly contradictory note in
the silver proceedings was sounded
in London before the opening here
when the white metal rate was cut
the equivalent of around 11s cents
an ounce to new bottom since 1893.
After noon the Treasury at Wash.
lngton put its purchasing price for
foreign silver at 36a4 cents an ounce,
or Ia cents under its figure last
week.
Business news continued as buy
ing prop and some in the board
rooms saw hope in reports Congress
might adjourn early in August.
Further lessening of worries over
European war threats, brokers said,
had something TO do with keeping
selling at minimum. Foreign
markets were steady.

Wallace Offers Extension
OF Year on Corn Loans
By the Associated Press.

by aSSOCldleu TTeSS.
Secretary Wallace announced yes
terday farmers having corn stored
as collateral for Government price
bolstering loans may apply for a 12-
month extension period when the
loans fall due August l.
Farmers now have 257,127.595
bushels stored under 271 ,315 loans. at
the rate of 81 cents bushel in the
Midwestern corn belt.
Wallace said the purpose of ex-
tending the loans was to keep this
supply of grain under seal as a re-
serve supply for use in later years,
when a drought might cut crops
short, and to prevent wide price
and supply fluctuations.
I'VE cannot foretell droughts," he
said, but we can be prepared. With
this reserve, both farmers and con-
sumers can face the coming year
protected by ample supplies against
any probable contingency"
To encourage farmers to hold their
corn for the 12-month period, the
Government offers to pay them 6
cents a bushel for storage at the end
of the extended loan period, pro-
vided the market price at that time
is less than the loan rate plus storage
and carrying charges.
Farmers needing money to provide
additional farm storage facilities
may obtain this Scent advance at
the time their loans are extended.
This advance would stand as an ad-
ditional lien against the grain.
OF the corn stored under loans,
29,735,961 bushels were produced in
1887, and the balance last year. The
1897 grain, to be eligible for loan ex-
tension, must be shelled. All corn
must grade No 3 or better and con-
tain not more than 1875 per cent
moisture If shelled and 155 per cent
if ear corn. The privilege of extend
ing loans will expire October /.

Building Passes
1888 Figure;
Under March
Total Of $2,619,710
In Permits Issued
For April

Private construction activity in
Washington during April was in ex-
cess of figures for the correspond
ing month of 1898, but failed to
measure up to the record
volume of March of this year, ac-
cording to the monthly survey an
nounced today by Building Inspec-
tor John w. Oehmann.
Valuation of building for which
permits were issued last month was
$2,619710, Col. Oehmann's report
showed. This was an increase of
more than 100000 over April, 1898,
and $1,60O000 under March of this
year, when a 10-year record was
established.
Residential construction again
comprised most of the months &C
tivity. Permits were approved for
1913 onefamily dwellings, valued at
$l,194, ,645. In the corresponding
month of last year permits were is
sued for ITS dwellings, which had
a value of 81 1.039,875. In March this
year Col. Oehmann approved plans
for 341 new homes. These were
valued at nearly $1,900,O00.
Apartment construction, likewise,
showed a big increase over April,
1888. Last month plans for 10
apartments were approved. These
structures were valued at SAT 300,
and have a capacity of 1876 families.
There were only 10 small buildings
with a capacity of 48 families ap-
proved in the month last year. These
10 buildings were valued at $4,000
However. in this type of construc-
ton the comparison with March,
1899, also is not favorable. In that
month Col. Oehmann approved
plans for IS apartments, capable of
housing $50 families. These build
ings were valued at $1,589,000.
The valuation of permits for ad-
ditions, alterations and repairs to
existing buildings issued in April of
this year exceeded both April of
last year and March, 1939 Such
work approved last month was val
ued at $711,265. as compared with
$453,0O0 for April, 1888, and s615,OOO
for March of this year.
New building in April by sections
OF the city follows: Northwest,
$1.143.800; Northeast. s495 900;

Hopper Invasion
Nearing Serious
Menace TO Farms

3. A. Harrigan, county agricul-

another warning to Imperial VAL

hopper infestation became the
heaviest In several years.
There is danger, Harrigan
said, that the spring infestation
of hoppers will become serious
menace unless farmers take some
faction to combat the pests now.
7 Farmers who do not plan to
harvest any more hay this sum-
mer have neglected to spread the
poison bait, Harrigan pointed out
and as a result the pests have in
creased to record numbers.
Regardless of what farmers plaf
to do with their land this sum-
mer, Harrigan declared, we urge
them to spread poison bait. The
bran is mixed and ready to de-
liver from the local office. Nc
charge is made.
There has been on assurance
Harrigan stated, that free poison
will be provided next spring.
