Ebb For Year

NEW YORK, May 13-R-Bond
prices slumped heavily today IN a
selling wave inspired by wal tear.
The Associated Press averages
for rails, utilities and foreign gov
ernments reached lowest ebb Tor
the year. The APP average for low
yield issues dropped to its level OF

also included some of the few gain
ers. Issues of Norway, Denmark,
Oslo City and Uruguay advanced.
A few bonds of Germany were
traded at fractional increases. Bel
GUM rs, on the other hand, drop
ped nearly 16 points.

CHICAGO GRAIN

CHICAGO, May 13- R Grain
traders whose pessimism grew with
the tide of war sold enough futures
contracts today to cause prices OF
all cereals to slump sharply.
Wheat tumbled 2 S-4-3 cents be-
low Saturdays close, with May fin
ishing at $1.05 1884 and July
81. O5 3-4-5-8. Corn lost l 1-2-1 7-8,
May closing at &C IL and July 81
1-8-1A. Oats fell 5-8-1 cent, rye
8 1873 3-8 and soy beans IL a.
Practically all of the grains which
were scored following the German
westward invasion Friday have
now been wiped out.
Extreme weakness of securities
prices and talk of improving do
mestic crop prospects, wit h
weather conditions favorable and
rains forecast for most Of the grain
belt, contributed to the wheat mar
ket's bearishness. Profit taking
went hand in hand with stop loss
orders. And mill buying diminish
ed while evening up OF accounts
added to selling.
Many traders were noticeably
disturbed after reading war bull
letins posted near the pits and a
number expressed unwillingness to
assume definite market positions in
view of the uncertainty. Others said
German successes had a bearish
price effect for the time being.
There have been no signs of in
creased European demand fol-
North American wheat and, &C.
cording to cables, there was a con
gestion at Eastern Canadian ports
because of lack of ships and con.
vcys. The lowland countries have
been good buyers of Canadian
wheat and rye and whether this
market is to be lost for the time
being was a matter of conjecture.

NEW YORK, May 13.-P-Fi
oncia1 markets toppled today, with
ta,ls beaten down 2 to more than
ooints, as Wall street sentiment
,urned bealish on European war de-
yelopments.
rne Associated Press average OF
"a issues fell 81 points to 45.S, big
.est drop for a single day since Nov
"a 1897. The composite touched a
,ow low since Aug. "a, last year.
With the ticker tape 4 minutes
,.,o both in the forenoon and in a
,ast.minute selling drive, transfers OF
XXI ian shares were the largest
.;nco Sept. IS, 1889. They compar-
- with 2,0S6, 240 in last Fridays
.umble.
The morning relapse was blamed
,,r,,v on the unloading of impaired
nu+ch margin accounts by brokers
rbo were unable to set in touch with
amsterdam customers. In addition,
some liquidation from other foreign
sources were reported.
On top of this, speculative forces
.ho+ follow the market chart lines
wore said to have run out because
- the fact the industrial average
vent through the January low re-

A definite selling signal.

kets in many months, 1920 lndivid-
nal issue changing hands. Of these
Ss0 declined, IA advanced and 70

Happening sentiment were run
ming dispatches indicating Allied
c~ontincents were not doing so we'll
,oainst the Nazis and fears the Unit
ed States was in greater danger OF
involvement than at any time since
the conflict started.
Business news was favorable in
spots, but for the most part was
ignored. Even an unexpected estl-
mated Jump in this weeks steel mill
operations failed as a stlmulant.
Steel stocks were among the shak'
lest. Motors were pounded as used
,.ar stocks throughout the country
mounted. Aircrafts nose-dived with
the rest, despite optimism over sales
abroad. Coppers were cold to a boost
in the red metal scrap price.
Principal losers were U. S. Steel,
Bethlehem, Chrysler, General Motors,

Today;s Sermon
BY WILLIAM E. GILROY, d. D..
Editor of Advance

two sons should sit one on His right
and one on His left.
It seemed a strange mlsconcep-
ton of the kingdom that Jesus had
ONE to establish, and it implied
such misunderstanding Of His teach
ing and of His example that one
might reflect upo nthe woman's in
tellectual and spiritual blindness.
Is it not true, however, t /, a t
blindness of this sort has usually
been manifest on the part of those
whose lives have been formed in
worldly ambition and with dreams
of their own ACKNOWLEDGEMENT? The
great military leader, the bloated
man of financial power, the great
industrial magnate, the men con
scious of their power over their
fellowmen-and welding their pow
er with a ruthless disregard for
everything but that power and their
w ambitions-have usually been
men who are really ignorant of
some of the most essential things
in life, lacking in appreciation of
human problems ard devoid of a
proper sense of human values.
If the mother OF Zebedee's chill
dren had been at all wise, she would
have sensed the absurd nature of
her request. But Jesus brought to
her sons a very real challenge;
were they able to drink of the cup
that He was about to drink of, and
to be baptized with that baptism of
suffering that de vas about to
bear? The sons did not finch at the
challenge. Their reply was firm and
uncompromising, I'VE are able"
Little did they k1.ow of the ways
in which they were really to share
that kingdom and to participate in
the true greatness of the Master
whom they had chosen to follow.
We must set over against the pic,
ture in our story that of John, the
beloved disciple, Transformed by the
power of Christian love, seeking
only a new sort of greatness as he
said, 1--WE know IL at we have
passed from death unto life becau1s
we love the brethren

The passion to be strong and
great is all ineradicable trait of hui
man nature. Not ali men are mott
waited by it, for there are many Who
manifest the opposite characteristics
of slackness and l%aziness.
Inevitably, there will be those
who have the passion to excel, who
are moved by great dreams of am
bition and attainment. Men of this
sort have brought blessing or curse
to mankind, according to the con-
ception of strength and greatness
that they have had in mind.
Scholars, scientists, inventors, who
have devoted their energies a n d
genius to the service Of their fell
lowmen, have done a great deal to
bless the world. Humble saints and
ministers, whose ideal has been that
of making their lives strong in good
ness, have similarly brought inestim-
able blessing.
But the pages of history are rife
