May 13.—Strength in wheat at erpool today tended to help prices here and the market opened firm, with a rather strong undertone in evidence during the early trading, which, however, was more or less of a local character. Reports from Liverpool safd the sub- stantial increase in the clearan of wheat this week from the Argentine wi more or less of a surprise to the trade. The outward movement of wheat from Australia this week. however, is about one million bushels less than a week ago, and this prob- ably offsets the increase of two mil- lion bushels out of the Argentine. Export sales of wheat yesterday amounted to between 300,000 and 350,000 bushels of wheat, and the re- ceipts today were said to be 348,000 bushels. Deliveries on May contracts this morning were 246,000 bushels of wheat. After starting unchanged to 13 higher, 145 to 145% and July 1.263% 'to 1.261, values held firm for a time, then eased off slightly on account of the action of the May, but there was some selling of the latter at 1.45%, which checked the advance. Corn 'and oats were governed by the action of wheat, the markets holding within rather narrow Wwith corn firm and oats a trifle 3 Initial quotations, which were un- changed to % higher. with July 64% to 64%a3, were followed by slight additional gains. Oats, after starting unchanged to 14 lower, with July 39% to 40, de- clined slightly further, then showed somewhat of a reaction. Strencth In hogs tended to lift provisions. Potatoes—Dull; receipts, 57 cars; total United States shipments, 687; ‘Wisconsin sacked and bulk round whites, 1.45a1.60 cwt.; Mirfinesota sacked round whites, 1.25a1.40 cwt.; Colorado saeked brown beauties, 1.65 cwt.; Canadian sacked whites, 1.45 cwt.” New stock ateady on barrels, weak on sacks; Florida Spaulding Rose double-headed barrels, No. 1, 6.00a6.25; No. 2, 4.00a4.25; Alabama sacked Bliss triumphs, No. 1, 3.00a 8.26 cwt.; No. 2, 1.756 cwt.

Confirmation was given today by House Leader Mondell to the report that the rawfil!ten Rent Commission bill has no chance of coming before the House for privileged considera- tion before Monday, May 22, when the Dresent rent law automatically ex- pires. Mr. Mondell's attitude is that as far back as legislative memory goes it has not been the custom in the Hou to grant special rules for any committees which have a regularly assigned day in the House. Last Monday should have been Dis- trict day and House Leader Mondell tried to get the District. committee to use the day. Chairman Foeht was absent from the city and Acting Chairman Wheeler told Mr. Mondell repeatedly that he did not have'any legislation to bring up. . Both House Leader Mondell ‘and Chairman Campbell of the rules eam- mittee argue that it was somewhat irregular for Representative Reed of West Virginia, in charge of the Rent Cemmission bill, to ask the rules com- mittes for a special rule and to en- deavor to get recognition from the speaker to bring up this measure under suspension of the rules before g\e bill had been reported to the ouse. g T AR Mrs. Jacob Baur,. secial leader, prominent in politics ,and known as “Chicago’s best business woman,” is being urged by her friends to become a candidate for mayor of the western metropolis. =AY The Edmonds Bldg In 911 15th Street N.KK.

NEW YORK, May 13.—There was & bit of irregularity on the curb.ex- change today. ~ g Commission houses were taking profits _after the opening transac- tions and the professional operators also sold part of the lines accumulat- ed in the late dealings on Thursday and during the stormy periods on Fri- day. . The floor ‘thought that in Viéw of the advance of the past day or %0, and the fact that a considerable part of the short interest had been elimi- natéd, a technical reaction might he expected. Tobacco Products Exports was one of the strong features. advancing to 2 new high for the movement. Phillip Morris showed an easier tendency during the greater part of the session. The newcomers, Cuban Dominican Sugar and Danlels Motors, encountered profit taking. The mo- tor stocks were irregular and deal- ings were on a small scale. Fensland and Mutual were the fea- tures of the oll shares, both reaching new: high' records under rather ur- gent buying. -Standard Oil of Indiana started slightly higher and,then re- acted, and Mexican Seaboard moved in_a similar manner. Independence Lead was an out- standing feature.in the mining list, advancing several points to & new high record for all time. ALL STEEL ISSUES WANTED AND FIRM By Special Laased Wire to The Star. NEW YORK, May 13.—The strength which came into the domestic' quar- ter of the bond market on Friday with the announcement of the Bethle- hem Steel-Lackawanna Steel merger wi well sustained today. All the steel bonds held their ground and were unusually active The Virginia-Carolina Chemical se- curities were still in demand. The first 5s crossed par and the 7%s got up over a point to above 105, both at their highest for the year so fa, American Cotton Oil bs also reached & new top. Rubber 5s and Cuba Cane Sugar 8s were up fractionally. Rail- way mortgages and-low-priced issues kept active around their prices of the preceding day. New Orleans Ter- minal 4s jumped two points. Greater New York tractions remained un- changed except the Interborough Metropolitan 4% ceritficates, which dropped below 15. Foreign Issues Steady. Liberty bonds marked time, while foreign ‘government issues generally hardened. United Kingdom 5%s of 1932 and 1937 both rose slightly to a new high, and there was a stronger market for the French issues. Seine 78, which had a rather sharp upturn at the close Friday, encountered some bp;(:fll-!nklnl at the opening today, W later rallied, nad around 93 were Mexican nd 58 each went a point higher. The trend of the New York market for Canadian Provincial bonds this week was little changed.. It appeared overbought, and although prices held up well, there was no enthusiastic buying like that of a month ago. Manitoba 6s of 1925 were quoted 100% bid, offered at 101%; the 6s of 1930 were 1014 bid, offered at 101% and the 6s of 1946 were 106% offered at 1071.

Equipments and related stocks de- rived more or less benefit from the demand for steels, but the general list showed a pronounced let-down of public buying and speculative buying. The more severe reversals were re- stricted to inactive specialties, for which only & thin market developd. Olls, motors and investment rails made only moderate concessions and junior transportations held much of their recent gain. Technical conditions, as measured by the long continued bull movement, probably accounted for the market's occasional periods of hesitation. In- dustrial developments and general business advices were satisfactory and crop prospects, especially in the northwest, afforded much encourage- the Bethlehem- ent. l‘lloney rates continued to show ease on the inflow of funds from interior sources, call loans relaxing to a marked extent. Firmness of foreign exchanges proved an offset to any misgivings arising from the Genoa sonference. REVIEW OF TRADE. NEW YORK, May 13.—Bradstreet's review of trade says: “‘Better weather and crop reports, the southwest and lower Mississipp!- valley excepted; more actlvity in retail trade, though few sections report conditions better than fair; collections still on the slow side; Industrial activities in April erystallizing into numerous favorable measures of movement; a rather better trend of reports as to European trade and political conditions, chief of these being new high levels for sterling ex- change, but rather quieter and reac- tionary stock markets, about summa- rize the week’s happenings. As regards the stock market, it might be said to be appearing to mark time, while the in- dustrials, whose improvement it had been foretelling and discounting from last summer to mid-April, onsoli- dating thelr positions,’ to use a war- time phrase. 7 “Weekly bank clearings, $7,184,708,- 000."

It would seem highly desirable under all the circumstances that a new cen- sus should be taken to do justice to 8ll of the states in relation to- federal Tepresentation, since nearly every ne of the states was seriously af- lected by the dislocation of popula- tion in the early months: of - 1920, when the census was taken, he added. The Tinkham bill provides that the new census shall be taken imme- diately upon passage of this mea: re. :"uuhr schedules, that additional schedules wil lallow the census com- mitt ‘which formulates the new ap- portionment bill, to e the best idence ebtainable upon which to base enforcement of the mandatory fourteenth amendment to the Conati- tution, which directs that Congress hall . reduce representation in the geveral states in propertion to the isfranchigement that may exist in em, FIELD CLERK REASSIGNED.

STEELSHOLD LEAD INSTOCK MARKET Spurt in Reading Helps the Rails—Spec@aIties Make " Good Gains. BY STUART P. WEST. NEW YORK, May 13.—The specula- { tive market again let its imagination run wild over merger possibilities. | The fact that the street in general was completely taken by surprise when the Bethlehem-Lackawanna steel merger was announced made it all the more credulous regarding other combinations, not hitherto dis- cussed, but now put forward with some seriousness. Neither Lackawanna Steel nor Bethlehem Steel stocks attracted the attention they received on previous vE. Rather the buying swung into other members of the steel group— Republic, Midvale, United Alloy, Va- nadium, Crucible and Replogle. All these, and many others entered into the merger rumors of the day. Reading Goes Higher. It was two-thirds a steel share, market with only one-third interest | in_other things. Toward the close a diversion was created by sharp upbidding of Read- ing, which had in mind a possible decision of the Supreme Court in the coal lands wn Monday. This led to sympathetic buying in some of the other rails. . . Maxwell Motors in the automobile group and Transcontinental Oil in the oil group stood out conspicu- ously. But at no time did these ad- vances take away from the pre- eminence of the steel as specula- tiye leaders. Foreign exchange rates were gen- erally firmer, despite the news from Genoa. The bond market.was ‘gen- erally stronger and somewhat more active. _ FINANCE AND TRADE NOTES. Texas Company advanced price of gasoline 1 cent a gallon.
