(By Thomson & McKinnon.) —May 6 Following the very cheerful statement of Governor Harding, came an equally good one from the Secretary of the Treasury. What a change from a year ago. Then every public utterance carried a warning and advice to liquidate. Now, every public utterance Is one of assurance. We have made enormous progress in deflation and now we have before us an Indefinite period during which time the rule will be construction and expension. The foundation for this exists in the form of a sound banking situation and increasing reserves. The good results will follow in due course. At the present moment it Is merelv necessary to look forward with the necessary faith. The stock market is doing so, and, as has aften been demonstrated in the past, the stock market Is the most perfect guide we constantly Indicating in its unerring way, future business conditions. This morning there was a renewal of ; the public buying of stocks and during | the first hour we had an unusual volume of transactions. Thereafter came a reactionary period, earlier buyers anxious to accept profits, while some of the professional element sold on the theory that a reaction was due. These reactions, however, should not take us by surprise. They are natural Incidents of a market, and their frequent,, recurrence aids In , maintaining a stable eonditijn. We continue to look forward with confidence and believe the trend is distinctly upward and favor the purchase of stocks on the reactions.

Wail street was a buyer early, but outside trade continued rather light. About eight notices were issued. At the end of the first fifteen minutes trade was quieter and the price level was about 6 points over yesterday's close.

WHEAT VALUES SHOW ADVANCES Corn Is Weak in Final Hour— Oats Close Strong. CHICAGO, May 6.—Wheat prices continued their upward trend on the Chicago board of trade today. The advance was due largely to the fact that many traders were short of May wheat with the visible supply for covering very low. Corn showed some weakness at the close although the advance In wheat prices held corn quotations from losing heavily. Oats were strong. Provisions ■were lrregularily higher. May wheat opened up %c at $1.45% and closed up 3c. July wheat, after opening up %c at $1.15%, gained I%c. May corn opened at 60%c, up %c, and closed up %c. July corn opened up %c at 63c and closed unchanged. September corn after opening up %c at 65%c, j dropped %c. May opened at 37%e, up %c and later gained an additional %c. July oats opened at 38%c, unchanged and gained %c. September oats opened at 40%c, up %c, and closed up %c. (Thompson & McKinnon) —May 6 Wheat—Crop eompl%nts of an indefinite nature were deciueilly more numerous today and were, primarily, responsible for the strength in the market. Exporters refused to follow the advance and the cash markets are sluggish premiums here and elsewhere showing a moderate decline for current receipts and considerable easiness on new purchases from ccuntry for short time shipment. Alight Increase in the offerings of old wheat Is reported but it is not discoverable that the prospective movement will be sufficiently free to build up accumulations at terminal markets. Because of this and because of the very limited amount of wheat at the various western markets. It seems advisable to withhold entirely new commitments for delivery In May .Because the growing crop hag presented such a wonderful appearance, it Is only natural that there should be a change to the eye. We ask you to note that none of the damage claims have been distinctly definite or of a serious nature. If any material damage is to develop, it will be in the future rather than at the present time. Under this view of the growing crop and considering the material advauce in prices, also taking Into account the eister tone in the cash market we believe that the advance has gone far enough. Corn and Oats—Previous reports of an unfavorable nature as to the oats crop, were slightly effective today but practically all the strength In corn and oats was a reflection of wheat. Country offering: of corn are reported as showing some increase. It Is also noticeable that the actual receipts themselves are larger than recently. A moderate export business has been done to Canada but the seaboard claims that central Europe will supply lts needs elsewhere. The movement and the offerings by the country of both corn and oats should Increase as soring plowing and pijfiitlng near completion. We believe these markets will drag lower with any weakness in wheat. Provisions -The strength in provisions was a reflection of the advance in hogs and corn. The demand was mostly from form r sellers, there being no broadening of interest. CHICAGO GRAIN. —May 6WHEAT— Open. High. Low. Close.

Terse Market Notes
NEW YORK, May 6.—The consolidated ] statement of Federal Reserve Banks discloses another gain in the reserve. There is every assurance today that we are rapidly approaching normal banking conditions and this is tho real foundation of our business. Enterprise, of necessity, must wait on capital, and when the capital is avail-, able, captains of industry will plan and do as they have done in the past. Compared with the money matters, other matters are incidental. Wage adjustments of railroads and factories will come. A delay of a few days or a few weeks will not alter the situation. | The market has broadened and its j trend is unmistakably upward. NEW YORK, May 6.—Reports received here today state that wheat conditions In the great XYesteru wheat belt and Oklahoma are worse than has been realized. These reports show' about 30 per cent reduction in condition from previous reports.

DRESS SUBJECT OF HER LECTURE Miss Hansen to Speak on Economy Phase by Request. A special added lecture and demonstration on how- to combine economy with art in dress will be given by Miss Evelyn D. Hansen at 3 o’clock tomorrow afternoon at Tomlinson hall, although the regular program of the Better Homes Institute will close tonight. This arrangement was made yesterday at the request of many Indianapolis women who have been deeply Interested In Miss Hansen's talks and who are particularly Interested in the matter of dressing well on moderate Incomes. The lecturer, who is conceded to be one of America’s foremost authorities on subjects pertaining to feminine garb, Insists that any woman may dress well with an outlay of only three dresses. However, she emphasizes the necessity for exercising judgment in buying those three, not only as to quality of material, but also with reference to design and color. In this special talk Miss Hansen will confine herself strictly to the dressing problems of the women who cannot, or who think j they cannot, afford to dress attractively.! In her lecture yesterday afternoon the* expert declared that American women are suffering from an aggravated malady known as “decoritis.” She deplored the tendency of the average woman to adorn herself with an oversupply of jewelry, corsage boquets, huge cameo breastpins and other trinkets which she declared serve only as “eyecatchers" and are certainly not In good taste. The veil with huge polka dots or other fantastic designs, she declared, Is ridiculous and added that if a woman had natural blemishes where those polka dots appear she would spend her last dollar to have them removed. Ross Crane's entertainment - lecture, “From the Eyebrows Up.” laid stress on the point that most persons are so busy making a living that they have no time to really live.

EMPLOYMENT IN APRIL RECEDES Conditions Conspire to Cause Slight Slump. WASHINGTON, May 6—Unsettled wage controversies and high costs of materials In the building trades, bad weather, high freight rates and slight demands for manufactured products, with the exception of automobiles, combined to make employment conditions at the close of April 4 per cent worse than at tha*sjxd' of the previous month, according to a report issued today by the employment service of the Department of La>or. Statistics and reports from all parts of the country reveal, according to the employment service, that a condition of dullness and stagnation exists in practically all manufacturing centers despite a popular belief to the contrary. Inactivity in shipbuilding and lumbering is given as the cause for reports of unemployment from the Pacific coast States. Limited building activity, due In many cases to high costs of materials, has added to unemployment in the midwestern States, but a back-to-the-farm movement in the corn belt has featured tbe situation there. The supply of farm laborers is said to exceed the demand and farmers are hiring only those who are experienced. Improvements were reported from many cities where municipal improvement projects are under way. Child as Possible Envoy Excites Tokio TOKIO.
