Stocks Hesitant
After CLIMBING
During Week
Best Net Gain Since
September Registered
In Four Days
By BERNARD S. O'HARA,
Associated Press Financial Writer.

NEW YORK, June 14-Despite a
slight letdown today, the stock mar
ket on the week scored its best net
advance since last September
The list exhibited the usual Sat-
urday hesitancy and, while there
were scattered strong issues, light
selling tapping over from Friday put
most leaders down fractions to a
point.
Wall Street found some comfort
in the news of the latest British
bombing offensive and Allied sue
cesses in Syria, but buying timldity
apparently was accentuated mainly
by spreading governmental price
controls and the question of how
these would affect earnings and divi-
dends over the long run.
The Associated Press average of
60 stocks turned in a loss of i of
point at al 4 in the two-hour session,
but for the week retained a net sd-
vance of l full point. Except for
slight declines on June 6. yesterday
and today, the composite had been
on the upside since the start of the
month.
Offerings Remain Small.
Offerings we're relatively small
throughout the short proceedings
and transfers totaled l93.620 shares,
compared with 183.930 a week ago.
A little nervousness was attributed
to the thought that the submarine
sinking of the Robin Moor in the
South Atlantic might touch off a
fresh war crisis between the Nazis
and the United States After the
close the President issued an order
freezing all German and Italian
assets in this country.
In the face of the lower market
trend. there were number of new
highs for 1941 registered. Among
these were Atlantic Gulf & West

jumped 4 and 27s points. respective

General Motors. American Tele-
phone. Santa Fe. Sears Roebuck

by the stiffening attitude of Wash

Wheat Prices Tumble

In Short Session
Market Slump Wipes
Out Advance Of
Preceding Day
By FRANKLIN MULLIN,
Associated Press Market Writer.

CHICAGO. June 14.-Wheat prices
tumbled cents bushel in the short
session today, wiping out all of the
gain scored yesterday.
With this retreat. the market
showed a net loss of slightly more
than a cent compared with week
ago. Traders said the optimistic
crop report issued Tuesday offset
wet weather damage inflicted on
wheat in the Southwest where har-
vest is being delayed.
The setback today was blamed
largely on selling to place hedges,
take profits. make spreads or even
up accounts for the week end. Some
dealers were reported selling Chicago
wheat q ~ buying at outside markets
but extreme weakness of wheat at
Minneapolis and Kansas City did
not confirm this.

Traders said increased movement
of grain at principal terminals &C
counted for some of the hedging
although there was no evidence Of
any pickup in the movement of
new wheat. The IL terminals re-
ceived 1.417000 bushels compared
with l 1854 900 a week ago and 417.0

POULT HEALTH PROBLEMS
SIMILAR TO THOSE OF CHICK

Turkeys are by no means the hardy
fowl that once roamed the land. for
with the intensive methods Of produc-
ton resorted to in recent years and
the large flocks developed by CONNER
cial producers. new health problems
have arisen.
In the short time that turkeys have
been domesticated, they have not had
an opportunity to develop an i'm
munity to the many diseases which
affect fowl. While blackhead still re-
mains as one Of the most dreaded dis
eases of turkeys, others have risen to
equal importance. Turkeys also are
susceptible to pullorum disease, but
tlocks now are being tested to elm
mate the carriers, and this proves a
satisfactory method of protecting
poults from this disease.
Paratyphoic is another poulthood
disease quite similar to pullorum: in
fact, 1t is due to closely related
organism. Paratyphoid has been known
to cause heavy mortality in flocks
of turkey poults. The most effective
means of control is to vaccinate with
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. bacterin in
&C. doses or more, depending on size
OF poults. repeated at an interval of
two days. This can be done at very
early age.
Turkey poults are inclined to show
poor choice in their eating habits and
often develop digestive disturbances
due to gorging with excessive guam
titles of improper feed. Bowel troubles
may develop as they do in chicks, and
drinking water medicines can be used
effectively to relieve the inflammation
and irritation of the digestive tract.
Because turkeys are less able to dis
Germ the source of the heat and often
huddle foolishly in corners, they are
apt to become chilled. Chilling will
cause a congestion of breathing organs
which can be relieved by spraying with
an antiseptic and soothing inhalant.
