NEW YORK, Aug. 25.-The great

Heavier by 10000 tons than any
other American man-o'-war. the
S80-foot vessel will 60 down the
ways at the Brooklyn Navy Yard

Its keel was laid on June n, 1910.
And while the thousands of engi-

Wheat Market Firm
In Late Dealings,
But Corn Lags
Favorable Crop Report
And Limited Offerings
Help Boost Prices
BY WILLIAM FERRIS,

CHICAGO, April l1.-Wheat fu-
lures closed firm on gains ranging
to a cent today, carrying most other
grain contracts along with them, as
buying developed late in the session.
Corn Jagged behind other sections
Of the market.
Buying of wheat was attributed to
covering by previous shorts, limited
offerings and favorable Govern
ment crop production report.
Strength at Minneapolis also en-
couraged buying here.
Wheat closed a to l cent higher
than Friday; May. sl23ss-12; July,
s1257s-24; corn was unchanged to
% lower May. 87Is-s4; July, 9012-
"a; oats finished q to Il higher; rye
was up "a to u, and soybeans gained
q to is.
Acreage seeded to winter wheat
as of July /, according to the De-
partment of Agriculture, indicated a
production of 624,983 900 bushels
against 67l,293,0 a year previous.
This estimate was below two private
forecasts, which had placed produc-
ton at 646 100000 bushels and $780,
900 900 bushels.
Additional Margin Seen.
Traders pointed out, however, that
the Governments estimate did not
allow for additional acreage which
may result from not plowing under
volunteer wheat.
During the early part of the ses-
sion corn was under comparative
pressure, absorbing offerings on the
way down. Some of the liquidation
was regarded by traders as created
by the closing out of spreads with
other grains.
Disappearance of corn stocks on
farms and in the commercial sup
ply, placed at 100000 bushels
since January /, was in line with
trade expectations. Trade circles
believe disappearance will continue
at the same rate for months to come,
making further inrcads on the ever
normal granary stock pile.
The ss-onT position of corn has
been well advertised, some traders
pointed out. and much Of the trade
is lcng on this grin. ANY attempt
upon the rert of longs to liquidate
uncoverS a market lacking any
sizable s'1ort interest.
Oats Futures Gain.
On TIE late upturn, deferred posi-
ticns of oats showed more strength
than the nearby month. Traders
sad some cereal interests bought
July and sold May.

NEW YORK, April 1.-THE stock
market finished a declining week

bearish war news generally taking
the principal blame.
Slipping tendencies were the rule
at the opening and while losses on
the whole were limited to fractions,
average prices closed at the lowest
levels in four years.

there never was any real selling

War Outlook Gloomy.
Chilling sentiment, brokers said,
was persistent gloom over Bataan
and apprehension anent the break
down OF British Indian negotiations.
The cloudy domestic picture also
provided scant speculative or in

NEW YORK, April 1l-Substan-
tial interest in fill-in merchandise
and liberal bookings for summer
and fall goods livened wholesale
markets in the last week, Dun g.
Bradstreet, Inc, reported today.
Heavy mail order, telephone and
wire calls for recorders on spring
numbers stressed immediate deliv-
cries which wholesalers frequently
were unable to meet. Buyers re-
entered markets in large numbers to
fill out summer lines and to speed
delivery of the substantial orders
already outstanding. Aggressive
forward purchasing continued where
desired goods were available.
Despite large pre-Easter order
ing, retailers called briskly for re-
orders Dress demand was heavy,
particularly in popular-priced brack-
cts. Piece goods, slacks and blouses
were wanted in sizable quantities.
Handkerchiefs and printed house
coats were bought with an eye to
Mothers Day promotions in May.
AS retailers allowed coat and suit
stocks to decline, interest in these
items slowed in wholesale markets.
I'm apparel houses. emphasis
shifted to summer and fall lines.
Retailers were reported willing to
