Test Of Wooden Tires
Is Termed Satisfactory
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
ST. LOUIS, May Is. Another
type of experimental rubberless tire
-steel-rimmed wooden wheels-has
been found satisfactory" by the
operator Of feet of st. Louis news
paper delivery trucks.
Initial tests proved so successful
that William Stroh, president of
the firm which has the contract for
delivering the morning Globe-Demo-
; crat, placed an order for so sets of
the wheels.
The wooden tires compressed in
quarter sections on standard truck
wheels and beveled down for steel
rim two inches wide, are fitted with
four springs next to the wheel for
shock absorbers.
The tires don't exactly ride like
rubber ones," said SEVERN Prag,
superintendent of the Stroh Com
pany, "but for delivery purposes they
provide an answer to rubber tire ra-
tioning. Steering is much easier
and there is no worry about blow
outs"
He compared ride on these tires
to one In an automobile of 80 years
ago, before shock absorbers and
springs were perfected.

CHICAGO, May 25.-Butter flowed
into Chicago today in the largest
quantity for the last 18 years, the
Mercantile Exchange reported.
Receipts totaled 2,106, ,692 pounds,
compared with 996,066 pounds last
year. Arrivals were the highest for
any May day on record and at q
peak since June %, 1925. Average
May receipts are slightly in excess
of 1000, 600, pounds.
Trade circles, endeavoring to ex-
plain the unusually large receipts
here despite smaller production this

thought these factors were RESPONSE

Heavy cheese output has reduced

Prices in Chicago are more attrac-

Stock Market Drifts
Fractions Lower;

Lack of Any ReoI
Selling Pressure
Cheers Traders
By VICTOR EUBANK,
Associated Press Financial Write

NEW YORK, May 25.-Stock mar
ket buyers generally stood aside to-
dav and permitted leaders to rest
in slightly lower territory.
A half hearted attempt TO rally
the list at the start met with vir-
tually no response and. with steels
backing away, the majority of quo
tations soon edged into the minus
column. While a modest assortment
of plus marks was present in the
final hour, fractional declines were
widespres j. There were scattered
losses Of a point or so.
Lack Of any real selling pressure
was the one encouraging feature Of
the proceedings. Transfers Of
around 100000 shares were among
the smallest for the five-hour
stretch in about two years.
Blame for the waning of the bid
ding urge was placed principally on
the inability of the customers 10
gauge the fierce Russian-Nazi bat
tie for Kharkov, now entering its
third week. Other war news pro-
vided scant speculative or invest
ment inspiration and the still-cloudy
tax program persisted as brake on
sentiment.

can Smelling, Boeing and United

Chicago Grain

CHICAGO. May 25.-Corn prices
rose as much as one-half cent at
times today due to good industrial
demand and prospects of increased
use of grain for alcohol manufacture,
but wheat declined correSpondingly
as a result partly of slight upward
revision of crop estimates.
Although hedging sales against al
most 200, 1000 bushels of corn booked
to arrive here from country points
reduced the gains, this selling was
no more than enough to offset good
demand credited to professors and
shippers.

Ickes Asks Increase
In Oil Production
For Next Month
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
A production increase of almost
10000 barrels Of petroleum liquids
daily in June over the May quotas
was recommended today by Pc
troleum Co-ordinator Ickes, who set
the June goal at $3.50, 800 barrels.
Ickes recommended an increase
of almost 10 per cent in production
for district 3, comprising Arkansas,
Louisiana, Mississippi, New Mexico
and Texas. He said this represented
continued additions to oil move
ments by barge and overland trans
portation facilities.
The co-ordinator said the Rail-
road Commission of Texas had been
requested to allocate the production
among the fields in that State so
as to utilize to capacity all available
pipeline facilities which transport
petroleum north and eastward. He
said everything possible was being
done to provide outlets for oil pro-
duced in the important production
areas constituting coordination dis
trict 3.
He also recommended an increase
of nearly 10000 barrels daily for
California to satisfy the demands
of the entire Pacific area, princi-
pally Navy requirements.
He recommended a temporary in
crease of slightly over 10000 bar
rels daily for Kansas to assure ca
pacity operation of extended pipe
line facilities which he said would
become available early in June tc
aid in augmenting supplies in the
northeast. The Kansas increase
offset, he said, the continuing de-
cline in production in Illinois and
Oklahoma.
The production rates in barrels q
day certified to each of the States
for June, compared with those fol
May and the production in June last
year are.
