LIQUIDATION HITS
N. Y. BOND MARKET
Losses Stamp Session AS One
Of Weakest In Recent
Years; Volume Small

NEW YORK, May 21-tREBond
prices broke sharply today on a
resumption of war-inspired liquid
alton.
Losses as measured by the AS
ISOLATED Press averages stamped
the session as one of the weakest
in recent years, and trading vol
ume was the largest since last
September.
Nearly all groups were hard hit
by the selling. Domestic corporate
loans showed declines running to
as much as Is points, while many
foreign ratings were down 1 to 6.
German government obligations
were conspicuous exceptions, clos
ing around 3 points higher. U. S.
government to retreated an aver
age of around IL point.
Partly accounting for some of
the heaviest slumps in the corpor-
ate sector was the steep decline in
stocks. AS an example, Studebaker
IS, a convertible issue, gave up Is
points in response to the drop in
the shares.
Closing l to around 7 points
lower were New York Central con-
vertible 3 las of 50 at AZ IL, Nc
Kesson Robbins 5 LIS at 80, New
Orleans, Texas & Mexico "A" SIS
at 81, Southern Pacific 4 LIS of SO
at 80, Nickel Plate 4 lbs at 80 ga,
and Delaware Hudson refunding
is at 40.
The rail average dropped %
points, utility 2 and industrial !
point.
British empire bonds were under
a little more pressure than other
foreign groups and they attracted
bids only sparsely on the decline.
Those of Australia, Canada, and
Queensland closed l to 6 lower.
Other on the weak side included
Italy Is, Rome 6 LIS, Japan 5 LIS
and 6 LIS.
Transactions totaled $13, 7O2, 600,
face value, against 6,371, 600 yes
terday.

CHICAGO LIVESTOCK

CHICAGO GRAIN

CHICAGO, May 81 -(RE Wheat
futures tumbled as much as 4 IL
cents a bushel today, but the down
turn encouraged enough buying
support to wipe out more than
half of the losses.
Reports of continued German
successes against the Allies, a
sharp fall in securities and mod
crate to fair moisture in the do
nestle southwest depressed trade
from the start, but pressure was
rather light. The market was SEN
sitive to small buying or selling
orders and prices f%luctuated rapid
ly and at times nervously within
a range of about 3 cents.
At their lows, May 81 and July
80, wheat futures were 2 and l IL
cents, respectively, within mi
mum price pegs established Sun
Gay. Support from mills was light
er than recently, but helped lift
prices as much as 3 IA cents
from the days lows. The May
delivery, on which trading will end
tomorrow, Jagged somewhat in raj
lying periods.
Wheat on the board of trade
finished l IL to 2 IL cents under
yesterdays close, May 81 3-4, July

oats IL to l 1-8 off; soy beans

Winnipeg wheat prices fell more
than 2 cents to or within small
fractions of pegged levels. At Bue-
nos Aires, where it was reported
today fluctuations would be limited
to the equivalent of 4 cents daily,
wheat futures were 2 SO cents
down at midday.
Corn futures were dominated by
the action of wheat, but trade was
light. Some buying was attributed
to cash interests. The cash market
was steady with the basis l to 2
cents higher. Receipts totaled only
% cars, and were applied mostly
on previous business. The commod-
ity credit corporation announced
that producers may deliver corn
from the 1887 crop in payment of
their loans. About 49, 900, 900 bush
els of this corn remains under
seal on farms and it was said that
a substantial part would be ship
ped abroad under the new export
program.

We were SO happy to be with

their Christmas vacation here in
California and feel that we know
them much better personally and
revel in this friendship. With Ma
bel, music and magic go hand in
hand and those in the business real
ize what a great combination they
make. Music adding background,
beauty and variety to a bill of magic
done in superb manner. The Birches
have had records made-some Of
which are used to accompany Mabel
in her xylophone presentations. She
has found 1t very satisfactory In
that she can depend on them always
being the same. On the other hand,
this very feature makes it more
difficult for her in -that she must
establish the right tempo and stick
to it for each performance, never
changing because of moods for the
record accompanist refuses to be
moody or temperamental and goes
right on.
It takes great deal of technical
ability as well as talent to carry

tion is due to the efforts and ability

ART OR EARACHE

Conversation is sometimes re-
ferred to as an art. UnQuestiOnably,
it is an art, as employed by few.
However, there are times when it is
a cross between the earache and a
tooth being filled, combining the
worst features of both.
The world is full of people who
have much to say that isn't worth
listening to- Better to be silent
than dull There is much to be
learned from conversation, il it is
worth while. but there is no greater
waste of time than listening to q
tongue Gathering against the ridge
pole of mouth when the sole prod
uct is sound without thought.
Conversation does not necessarily
have to be weighty to have value,
nor does it have to be light to be
entertaining. An old Chinese
proverb (and it wasn't Confucious)
has it that "a single conversation
across the table with a wise man is
worth a months study of books .
And it might have been added, time
spent with listening to bore is as
wasted as harp solo played under
water.-Ohio State Journal.
