Several of the low priced stocks were strong, including Atlantic Gulf com- mon and preferred, and Colorado Fuel. Houston Oil moved up nearly two points.

WHEAT SCORES SHARP ADVANGE All Deliveries Carried Above Dollar Mark by Black Rust Damage CHICAGO, July 19—Reports in- dicating danger of serious damage from black rust in the Canadian northwest led to an advance in wheat prices today after an early decline. It was ppinted out that there had been heavy recent rains where rust was prsent, and that the Canedian crop was a long way from harvest. The close was strong, 1% to 20 net higher, with September 81.00% to $1.00% and December $1.03% to $1.03%. CHICAGO, July 19.—Wheat showed a downward slant in price today dur- ing the early dealingg Enlarged ri ceipts here together with a poor ri sponse in Liverpool to yesterday price upturns on this side of the At- lantic, had a bearish effect. There were no indications of general public buying, and some uncertainty was caused by announcement that the government supervisor had asked for the actual names of traders who were long or short 600,000 bushels or more, Heretofore reports which the government hed asked for required no names. Subsequently, commission house buying based largely on advices about black rust in Canada became a fea- ture, and the market went up grade. 3. German marks duplicated its recent low record of .0003% cents. Other for- eign exchange rates were slightly higher. A new group of stocks stood out as the market leaders during the fore- noon session a broad demand pre- vailing for the merciandise issues and other shares which do not usually govern thg coarse of prices. Activity in these stocks indicated that the public interest was gradually increas: ing.

JOSEPH, Mo., July 19. —(By The Associated Press). —Lieutenant Russell L. Mau- ghan, flying from New York to San Francisco, arrived in St. Joseph at 11:25, central standard time today. Maughan’s machine was in fine shape on arrival here, his mechanics sald after a hasty inspection. Maughan declered that he had ex- perienced no trouble of any kind and that he is now confident that he can make up time so as to reach San Francisco before sundown. Lieutenant Russell 1. left Bt. Joseph at 12:03 p. m. Cheyenne, Wyo., his next stop. Carrying a bundle of today's New York morning newspapers which ho hopes to sell in San Francisco to- night, Lieutenant Maughan, who is an army aviator, thus completed the second leg of his transcontinental hop. His plane came in at a fast clip from due east. He had been sighted Maughan for over Cameron Junction, Mo., 30 miles east of St. Joseph at 11:11 a, m. and came from there in 14 minutes. He landed smoothly and his two me- chanies who have been in St. Joseph for three weeks, at once went over the plane. St. Joseph, 1,140 miles west of New York, brought the aviator almost halt way across the continent in his dawn to dusk effort. It was at Avenue City, 10 miles northeast of here, where Lieutenant Maughan was forced down July 9 in his previous attempt at a sea to sea flight in one day. ‘Although badly damaged at Avenue City, the same plane, having under gone extensive repairs, is being used today. It is a Curtiss pursult plane, equipped with a 400 horse power D-12 engine. “rhe purpose of the filght is to blaze a trail for the possible trans- porting in one day of fleets of alr. planes across the United States in event of war.

By the Associated Press—Lieut enant Russell L. Maughan took off here at 4.08 o'clock this morning, east- ern standard time on the first les of his second attempt to fly from coast to coast between dawn and dark. He pointed his plane toward Dayton, Ohlo, wkere he intends to ake his first stop. wiAttor Maughan had climbed into the cockpit a bundle of New York morning newspapers, still damp with the ink from the presses, was handed to him, Above the roar of the engine he shouted out laughingly: to be the first news vender to sell New York morning newspapers in San Francisco on the evening of the day of their publication.” ‘The plane left the ground eight minutes and four seconds later than the takeoff made by Lieutenant Maughan on his previous dawn to dusk flight. Lieutenant Bertram J. Sherry, weather expert from Wash- ington, declared the weather to be almost {deal for flying conditions, saying tho light winds would be to the aviator’s advantage. At the 3,000 foot level, he sald, there was a ten- mile-an-hour easterly wind, while at 6,000 feet a northeast wind was blow: ing at eight miles an hour. There was a slight fog over the field but Maughan had no difficulty in making his getaway. Lieutenant Sherry sald he also would encounter a light for over the Alloghenies in Pennsylvania Tho filer had little more than four hours sleep, having retired at 11,30 last night and arising at 3:45, day light savings time. He breakfasted on ham and eggs, sandwiches and cof- feo. An extra heavy military guard sur- rounded the machine all night and right up to the moment when Maughan started. Officials have been unable to dis. cover what alled the pressure system that clogged and broke off the last transcontinental flight. Nor has tho pilot been able to satisfy himself that the radiator cap, which he found over the: outlet to his gasoline tank got there accidentally. The 75 officers and ten newspaper mon permitted to approach the bi plane were kept 100 feet distant by the cordon of soldier guards, No hands touched the machine after it was tucked away last night, except those of Maughan and the little ataft of mechanics in whom he places trust, DAYTON PASSED AT EARLY HOUR DAYTON, Ohlo, July 19— Lieut- enant Russell L, Maughan arrived at | McCook Field here at 8.35 o'clock eastern standard UUme on his firet log of m dawn to dusk flight from New York to San Francisco Maughan left Dayton at 8:53 a. m. standard eastern time.
