RAILS AND OILS AlD STOCK MARKET T0 MAKE SLIGHT RISES 1. C. C.’s Approval of Four- & For. Pot Am. Party Eastern Trunk Line Merger Beneficial New York, July 22.—(AP)—With tails providing the motive power, and oils the fuel, the stock market negotiated another modest grade Fri- day, getting up close to the peak levels of June. The announcement of the Inter- state Commerce Commission’s ap- proval of the four-party eastern trunk line merger, with only minor modifications of the executives’ plan, | had a beneficial effect upon the car- rier securities generally, and oils im- proved in response to first samples of first-half earnings. Of the eastern trunk lines, stocks of Baltimore and Ohio and Chesa-|B' peake and Ohio made relatively the best progress, getting up a point or more. Delaware, normally a wider mover, advanced more than 2. New York Central and Pennsylvania rose about 14-point. among other rails, Union Pacific and Santa Fe gained a point or so. In the oils, Standards of California and_N. J., Seaboard Oil, and Atlantic Refining gained a point or so. Miscellaneous shares rising about 1 to nearly 2 points in- cluded American Telephone, Ameri- can Can, Case, Procter and Gamble, National Biscuit, Air Reduction, Eastman, Homestake, General Rail- way Signal, National Distillers and U. S. Steel preferred. The list sagg- ed a littlé after a firm opening, but) soon resuned its climb. i The movement lost its steam in the last hour, and the list closed / somewhat under the best. The aver- ages were carried to new highs for, July, however, and the turnover of | some 1,400,000 was the largest in weeks. There were numerous net gains of 1 to 2 points at the finish, and the tone was firm. | Livestock \ SOUTH ST. PAUL LIVESTOCK South St. Paul, July 22—(AP)— (U.S. Dep.

Purchases broadened, owing largely to recent advances in securities, sugar 4,|and livestock. Several brokerage firms issued statements suggesting that government financed holdings of do- mestic wheat were commencing to lose effect as a market guidance. Wheat closed firm, %-1%%c above | Thursday's finish, July old 46%-46%4c, |SePt- September old 4814 -48%c; corn 14-76 up, September 321-32%1¢; December 3254-32%c; oats a shade to \%-%c gain, and provisions showing a rise s |of 12 to 17 cents. PA Wheat bulls put increased emphasis on close adjustment of supply and demand as evidenced by a 25 per cent reduction in world second-hand stocks during June compared with June last year. Buying of corn resulted from indications that rainfalls were inade- quate and not sufficiently widespread to furnish crop relief. Hedging sales were a weight on oats. Provisions rose with hog values. INNEAPOLIS FUTURES (OW MORE STRENGTH Minnezpolis, July 22.—(#)—Wheat futures were a bit hesitant at the opening Friday but tightened up on scattered mill buying in the face of limited offerings. Little of interest developed in the course grains. Flax climbed a cent but this was on account of the lack of offers. Corn crop news remained unfavorable. July wheat closed %¢ higher, Sep- tember 1%¢ higher, and December 14sc higher. July oats closed unchanged. Sep- tember unchanged and December un- changed. July rye finished %2¢ high- er, September sc higher and Decem- ber %sc higher. July barley closed unchanged, September 4sc higher and December 4s¢ higher. July, Septem- ber and December flax closed 1c up. Cash wheat demand lacked fervor but prices were firm compared with futures. Durum was slow and weaker. Winter wheat was quiet and un- changed. Cash corn was quiet to slow unless very choice and quite weak. Oats de- mand was quiet and tone was easier. Rye demand was fair to good and of- ferings were very light. Barley de- mand was fair to good for the limited quantity of desirable quality. There were practically no flax offerings and demand was quiet. aS Ne ee i Grain Quotations ‘ Ni GRiaesoe ° MINNEAPOLIS RANGE Minneapolis, July 22—()— Wheat— Open High Low Close ? | July 50 51% 50% 51% ATs 49 49 50% MINNEA Minneapolis, July 22—()—Wheat receipts Friday 72 compared to 1162 Pan.-Am.

BOSTON WOOL Boston, July 22.—(/)—Increased ac- tivity in the wool crop is aiding the maintenance of fairly firm active prices on the finer grades of western grown wool. While trading in these wools is rather slow, some inquiry is being received and bids only slightly below asking prices have been refused. Temperament has been improved by the confidence created through the Tecent purchases by mohair manufac- turers of the bulk of the spring clip of Texas mohair.

Register. @ trip over a large area taken while; FOR the heat wave was at its height. Kienholz, officail government ob- server and who has charge of tabulat- ing the statistical information on crops for North Dakota, went north from Fargo to Grafton, west to Stark- weather, south through Devils Lake and New Rockford to Jamestown, east to Highway No. 1 near Valley City, north over this highway to Coopers- town, east to Finley and Mayville, and back to Fargo. “The crop shows some lowering of condition due to heat,” he said on his return to Fargo, “but to make any es- timate as to the amount of damage at this time is purely a guess. “There is a very heavy stand of straw over much of the area covered and a good supply of moisture, which should give the grain ability to with- stand the heat well. “There is still a chance for it to come back and give fairly good re- turns. “I have been making tours of ob- servation over the territory annually about this time of the year since 1927, and I believe that taking the crop as a whole it is in about as good condi- tion at present as I have ever seen it.” Kienhloz reported that about the poorest condition which he found was in the Mayville territory, but that in the Finley territory, west of Mayville, the crop is about as good as any- where else. He has reports from the southeast- ern section of the state to the effect the crop outlook there is the best in the history of the area. “The corn crop is looking excepionally good,” Kienholz reported, “and while there may be some grasshopper damage to that crop the loss probably will be confined to local areas.” Other observers continue pessimistic regarding late crops, particularly late flax. Reports coming to the Greater North Dakota association from widely scattered sections indicate the flax lcrop may be very materially reduced.
