By the Associated Press. CHICAGO, July 24.—Prospects of a hot wave in Canada did much to bring about a sudden upturn in wheat vales today. Closing quotations on wheat were strong 1% to 1% cents net high- er, corn 1% tos13 up, oats at 3 to 1% gain and provisions umchanged to 20 advance. ‘Wheat finished virtually at the day's top level. In addition to fears of crop damage in Canada, reports were current that ‘big chartering of vessel room for wheat was in progress at the Gulf of Mexico. Under such cir- cumstances the market rose rapidly in the late dealings, having apparent- part of the day. An exaggerated re- port of increase of wheat stocks at Kansas City had a good deal to do with causing sellers to put themselves in a false position. Early advices said that since Monday there had been 2,281,000 bushels enlargement of the amount of wheat on hand in Kansas City, but later this was corrected to 1,281,000 increase. Kansas City receipts of today never- theless set a new high record, 1,109 cars. Indications point also to large primary arrivals on Monday and to a good sized increase of the United States visible total. The outlook for possible renewal of crop re- ports from Canada, however, operated more than an offset for the.liberal ‘Winter wheat movement and for other béarish factors as well. Besides, considerable buying here was done on account of a report from it was pointed out, could easily be used by Minneapolis mills alone. Tiinols and Indiana dry weat reports outweighed in the corn market the influence of Nebraska and Iowa rains. Oats developed independent strength as a result of unfavorable crop reports from wide range. Provisions responded to upturns both in hog values and in n. DRY GOODS SALES GOOD. More Business Done in Colored Cot- tons in Small Lots. NEW YORK, July 24 ().—Cotton sales for the past week ex- ceeded production in the gray goods division. Printed ' goods have sold freely. More business has been done in colored cottons in small lots. Wash goods lines will not be generally open- od for Spring until late next month by seyeral of the larger factors. Job- bers did a moderate amount of small- lot business. Yarns closed steady, a better volume of business having been done during the week. Wool goods for Fall clothing use have sold more freely since the threat of a New York strike was removed, but owing to a continuing strike in the garments trades cloakings and dress materials moved out slowly. Business on tropi- cal weights for Spring, 1927, has been larger than a year ago. Silke con- tinued quiet. Raw silk advanced at Yokohama 10 cents a pound. Bur- laps were easler with demand light. Linen markets were moderately active. % ~1925-26— High, Low.

AR R 14 | march from $33 BILLIONS OF AMERICAN MONEY | SPENT IN FRANCE SINCE 191% Tourists. Have Been Taking Golden Eggs to' Parise All the World Has Marketed Millions of Dollars’ Worth of Bonds in U. S.—Gossip. BY I A. FLEMING. The spectacle of excived and irri- tated French poople attacking Ameri- can tourists ceems to flud a counter- part in one of Aesop’s fables, as the American tourist has been the peren- nial, the consistent carrier of golden e to Paris and other parts of La Belle Prance, Today there are other thousands of Americans planning to go to Europe, and e schedule includes, as a mat- ter of course, Paris first and other centers of the republic later on. These facts are too well known to need substantiation. One Washington financial institution during.the past year has sold nearly 100,000,000 francs to those contemplating travel abroad, while in every prominent city from San Francisco on the West to New ;:::nhAge r ha;et been ’ buying oney, r what is betts far, dollar exchfinge. by France has been acquainted with dollar exchange for many days.

Practically the entire world called on the Ameri- can banker for money und received it. Many of these issues were brought out below par to stimulate interest by reason of the high rate of return. Practically all issues were safeguard- ed by sinking fund features and have been operative in this respect for some years. Thus the first $100,000,- 000 French 7% per cent 20-yeisr ex- ternal gold bonds issued in 1921 pro- vided for $9,000,000 per annum sink- ing fund for the first five years in % | monthly installments of not ess than $750,000.

Must Be Renewed. At the present rate of recove: ry in France it would appear that it would be impossible for France to meet her external loans to America when they mature and that they will have to be renewed, all of which will be easy of accomplishment provided earnest efforts are made by France to get lql’::;: zol.:i“ton to accept the inevitable, nts against Amg t e Otn oy g erica and get That there is such a demand ;::;; \:om.:; fl;lat they hold so v::lli o the nlg(; . most encouraging ntinental Europe is and until the step has wafigfiffi a 'obibvl: rtn'.)n.l !'li;m"rootlng the con- servat; n e, will keep his resources 2 The Home Market. year ago at this time t stn?e(dm&rket presented qulteh:nl:cnal} n;; appearance, even though ur uld have been the dullest season of Bt:;,vea.r. according to precedent. Bank shares furnished the medium of the Summer revival and the spurt was sufficient to carry the m!rv‘ll gln;:lgh into the Fall and Wlnteg : sslfi”pfiges were established on many ! of both national banks’ and l;l:‘;;t companies’ shares under the lership' of Riggs Natfonal on its 0 its present high figure " "0 there to While the let-up in tradi stocks dld not develop until tin oLk ter was neari mibii g ng its end, the stoppage of buying was complete and has so ;;!:a.gnsg during the greater part of & dn:. ng and all of the Summer But it has not been attend any pressure to liquidate, holdegrswril;}; being inclined to press shares to a sale.

All other shares have been de- cidedly quiet, the making of quota- tions with each day's call being list- less and more or less indifferent, but without sign of weankness in the list, with Potomao prefarred and Mibrgen thaler acting well. It is interestiny to find the follows ing penned by Eugene E. Thompson of Crane, Parris & Co. and a direc- tor of the Washingion Rallway and Electric Co., as well as more or less prominently to the fore in the pur- chase of local utility shares by the North American Co. “A circular mailed recently by a New York firm outlining the possi. bilitles in purchasing Rallway com- mon is responsible for its advance from a bid of 175 to 195 without sales. The same tactics were adopted last year when this stock was run up to 250. It 1s understood that an unsuc- cessful effort was made to dispose of a large block of stock at that time. The circular is so worded as to lead an investor to believe that a minority holding ‘is all gold.” “There might be some future pos- sibilities along these lines if the com- mon was the only voting stock. Con- trary to such bellef, the preferred stock, of which there are 85,000 shares outstanding, against 65,000 shares f the common, has equal voting rights. This is exactly the position taken b hundreds of \ashingtonians when the common stock was belng run up in wild action and the preferred dragged along at a slow pace, the while speculation was agog over what was “agoing to happen,” and con- tinued rife with one man's guess as good as another’s. The net result is that some one has a lot of stock bought at high prices on which a 5 per cent annual divi- dend must satisfy and the preferred sharebolders have shares with equal Voting power quoted at 88% a share netting better than 5.6 per cent on the investment. ¢ At the asked prices dt this writing 210 and the bid price, edmittedly close, at 205, it doesn't require any figuring to indicate that this invest- ment is not quite equal to 2% per cent a year. A dissertation _on the intents and purposes of the North Amefican Co., in its acquisition of large'amounts of the common stock of the Washington Railway and Electric Co., and the chances for a merger as of today:. would be welcomed. Moreover, thers would be more news in it than in an item regarding the dual voting power of both common and preferred shares of the same company. Intangible and Personal Taxes. Returns as to intangible property holdings, money in pocket, tills and banks, other than with exemptions of $500 in savings banks, must be filed with the tax collector of the Distriot by July 31—reports being based on holdings and values as of July 1, 1926. ’ Lost, Strayed or Stolen. An article by John Poole, president of the Federal-American National Bank, on “Sdving,” duly edited and prepared for publication, was mislaid in the editorial rooms of The Evening Star, in company with the MSS. of an article which should have appeared in this column last Sunday morning. Mr. Poole, it is recalled, advised that the regular pay day savings de- posit be made before beginning the allotment of money for other pur- poses. It was a well prepared, care- fully thought-out, logical appeal for thrift in the interest of the saver. Regret is expressed at its loss. South River Pleasures. Gently flowing, slowly ebbing, beau- tiful broad clear waters, South River, five miles before it enters Chesapeake Bay, is one of the most beautiful streams in America. On both banks pretty Summer homes with well-kept lawns and broad porches, house gay parties, while cool salt breezes add to the comfort of those fortunate enough to be invited to enjoy the privileges of days of rest and comfort, with the for- tunate residents. Amusements are crabbing and bath- ing in the salt water chiefly. Several Washington bankers were out that way a fortnight ago, more today. DAIRY PRODUCTS. BALTIMORE, Nly 24 (Special)l.— Receipts of nativé and nearby eggs have continued fAlr the past week and the quality of Most arrivals doubt- ful, they are slow to move unless of- ferred in buyer’s fa¥or, while strictly freshly gathered eggs are -wanted, and when here, readily bring a pre- mium over the average offerings. On the exchange, the buyers are slow to take hold. Shippers are advised to use more careful grading and ship promptly to realize top values. The market closed easy today at 27%a29 a dozen, for firsts in free cases, but eggs must show quality to bring top prices. With the exception of large spring _chickens, which are in good demand, the live poultry market rules easier under more liberal receipts, the past week. Demand for Spring chick- ens 2 pounds and over, continues good with no over-supply of this sort, at 38a40, a pound, but small chickens, especially leghorns, are in excessive supply and the market is easy at 30a37 for small springers and 25as2, for leghorns, as to quality and con- dition. Old hens have been in more liberal receipt, and only fair demand pre- vailing at 27a30, while small Yowl and leghorns will not bring over 20a22. Old roosters in fair demand at 20. There is a fair demand for Spring ducks of desirable size, at 25a28, but for smail birds there is hardly any outlet, while old ducks will not bring over 15a22. There is very little de- mand for pigeons at 30a40 a pair, and receipts are amplé for ali trade wants. SPLIT UP OF STOCK. NEW YORK, July 24 (#)—Interna- tional Securities Trust of America has authorized a split up of common stock. on the basis of three for one to stock- holders of record today by exchange of one common share for three of the new shares of beneficial interest in the trust.
