STOCK MARKET CLOSE STEADIER Small Transactions Feature Close of Trade. NEW YORK, May 19—The stock market closed steady today. The market was quiet in the last hour, with sales in small amounts and almost wholly of professional character. Republic moved up to 59 and reacted again to 58. while United Slates Steel hung around 8314National Enamel rose from 5214 to Great Northern Railway was in supply, falling over 2 points to 65%. Mexican Petroleum reacted 1 point to 11814 and Sears-ltoebuck fell to 77, a loss of nearly 3 points. Total sales of stocks today were 451,700 shares; bonds. $9,307,000. (By Thomson * McKinnon) —May 19— In today's market there were quite a few important fluctuations, but there was no general trend to the market. Some held steady, with no change. A few were weak, a few strong. Commission bouses participated only to a very moderate extent and most of the important fluctuations resulted from professional operations. The condition "of the general market is well illustrated by the action of Republic Steel. The passing of the dividend had only a slight effect, and this has been true in so many instances that It must be apparent that the market has anticipated and discounted much that is unfavorable. National Enamel proved to be an unexpected hear leader today, declining sharply, with the only explanation that the company may suffer from increased foreign competition. This company has been operating at a little over half of its capacity, but this has been known for some time. Peoples Gas, General Asphalt and American Sumatra were also In the list of the weak stocks, while Union Oil was strong throughout the day, the explanation here being the prospect of the consolidation with one of the bigger oil companies. International Paper was both weak and strong. The professional element sold It and then bought it. While ft is dikeiy that some unexpected weakness may develop here and there, the market in general is resting on a fairly sound foundation, and is in a good position to respond to any improvement in general business conditions.

GRAIN VALUES SHOOT UPWARD Technical Position Chief Factor—Provisions Advance. CHICAGO, May 19.—After a quick drop at the opening because of success of legislation before the Illinois assembly, which would abolish the board of trade, grain prices today shot upward. Tbe increase was due largely to the technical position of May wheat, and covering by shorts on the drop. Provisions also advanced. May wheat opened off %c at $1.48 and closed, up sc. July wheat opened down 2c at $1.16% and closed, up 3%e. May corn opened at 58%:\ off %c and closed, up %c. Juiy corn opened, off %c at 61c and closed, off %c additional September corn opened, off %e at 63%c and closed, off %c. May oats opened off %c at 36%c and closed unchanged. July oats opened off %c at 38%c and closed at the figure. September oats opened off %c at 39%c and closed unchanged. (By Thomson & McKinnon.) —May 19Wheat—Unfavorable crop news has offset the legislation enacted in Springfield yesterday. The fact that the early market was not demoralized shows that there has been no excessive speculation that the demand has been confined principally to exporters and their connections. Premiums for cash wheat were easier which is not unexpected because the May delivery and cash prices must be equalized before the eud of the' month. Good rains have been received in parts of Kansas and Nebraska but some of the crop experts now there claim that the condition is declining even where there is ample moisture. It is beginning to be the idea that the three periods of freezing temperature encountered by the plant after spring growth was well advanced have permanently weakened the vitality of the plant. The fact that all of the leading crop experts are now looking over the situation carries only one idea—namely that, that there must be the most favorable condition from this time forward, in order to realize a crop. So long as the news from the southwest continues of Its present character the market should show strength. Corn and Oats —The country, particularly Illinois, offered and sold cash corn quite freely early in the day. but the decline shut off these offerings. it Is commonly believed that completion of spring planting would see an increase ill the country offerings in both corn and oats. This condition is about to be realized. It is grauted that reserves still in the country are enormous, but if by any unhappy chance the wheat crop should meet disaster, these reserves will be very opportune. Provisions—The early action of grains started provisions a little easier, but tue market met support from packers’ broker*, values ruling steady thereafter. Cash trade Is fair. There have been no developments to suggest any Important change either way. CHICAGO GRAIN. —May 19WHEAT— Open. High. Low. Close.

JAPAN’S PRINCE LOVES POETRY An Ardent Admirer of Sonnets by America a Poetess. TOKIO, May ID.—An Incident connected with the departure of the Crown Prince of Japan for foreign lends not generally known, but now carefully filed away In the archives of the State Department In Washington, occurred at the Akasaka palace in Toklo a few days before his highness left. The Prince was giving a farewell banquet for the heads of the various embassies and legations lu Toklo and, after a banquet which will long be remembered as a marvel* for beauty and excellent food, the ministers and charges stood outside the Prince's private room awaiting for the coveted short informal conversation which they were to have with the future Emperor of Japan. Sir Charles Eliot, ambassador from Great Britain; Basil Krupenski, ambassador from Russia (the Russian government Is recognized by Japan), and numerous others ranking as ambassadors had had their few moments of Informal conversation. Mr. Edward Bell, American charge d’affaires, ranking as a charge, was among the last to enter. It was known that the Crown Prince talked little English and that his usual topics were "Do you like Toklo?’’ "Are yon anxious to see our beautiful cherry blossom season?” or some other subject of passing importance. These topics had been taking less than five minutes for discussion, and for that reason, when Mr. Bell remained with tbe Prince five minutes, then ten, the waiting ambassadors and ministers fidgeted. "Is he signing anew treaty, starting a war or wihat?" was the remark made by one of the older members of the corps diplomatique. rOETRY, NOT WAR. Quite naturally, therefore, when Mr. Bell came out he was asked numerous questions as to the length of time he had conversed with the crown prince. When he replied that the prince was simply questioning him regarding the poetry of Mrs. Charles Burnett, wife of the military attache of the American embassy, his hearers were astounded. Mrs. Burnett ranked high In the New Year poetry contest held by the Imperial household. She was summonec. numerous times by the former empress dowager before the latter’s death ana was remembered in the will of the empress when she died. Her poem, “And You Bhall Walk Therein,” written on the occasion of the prince’s departure for Europe, and sent fr.m .Japan to all of the countries included on the imperial trip, has created much favorable comment in court circles. So when Mr. Bell entered he was not greeted by a formal crown prince. Instead, without introductory remarks his highness said: "Have you read Mrs. Burnett's poems?” To which, the American charge d’ affaires repUed that he had, and there followed a ten-minute conversation on the splendid worth of Mr*,. Burnett's works. Now, rumor in the capital hag it, whenever Mr. Bell meets the British ambassador they discuss the relative merits of British and Arnerl -an amateur poets in Japan. And Mr. Bell is very wont to tell the conversation of the crown prince ol Japan, in which, this same repott has It the work of a prominent and ®auti/ul American lady of Toklo comes In for a large share of mention.

LONDON, May 19.—" Smile squad, fall In for face drill 1” There Is nothing really fantastic in this idea of face “jerks.” Experts say that It takes twenty-one pairs of muscles to make a beautiful smile or an expression of horror, the effectiveness of which depends on the standard of control attained. Grimacing by numbers was actually tried by British soldiers in ‘training during the war, and the smoother art of smiling properly is no less worth cultivating in time of peace. "A smile is undoubtedly a very complicated gesture,” said Fros. Arthur Keith, one of the most distinguished anatomists in Europe. “There are muscles for screwing up the nose, curling the lips puckering the mouth, and last, but no’t least five or six for producing the effect popularly kuowu as the ‘glad eye.’ ” ACCUSED BY TWO AS THIEF.

CLAIMS YANKS LOOTED STOCKS FRANCE BOUGHT French Deputy Charges fleers and Men With Wholsale Thefts. PARIS, May 19. —American officers and soldi.is were guilty of wholesale looting in American supply camps, after they had been sold to the French government | following the armistice, Deputy Charles Vavasseur charged in a lengthy speech la the Chamber of Deputies on the "American stocks scanual.” Va. asseur alleged that 37,945 of the 72,15 G automobiles sold to France by the | United States Government mysteriously , disappeared before they' were turned over ' and that of 20,970 motorcycles France purchased, only 2,987 were fonud when the American troops had gone away. One American officer, he asserted, shipped I home 1,500 motor cars and tons of other merchandise and other soldiers carried away truckloads of goods over the proI tests of French, supervisors. . Vavasseur demanded that the FrencM 1 government make immediate representa# tions to Washington and ask for a ductlou of the purchase price, $400,000,000. "I no not want to call in question th* good faith of the Washington Government or the honesty of the American people,” he said, when several deputies protested against his accusations against American soldiers, “but I do want to i point out the misdeeds of a few individuals and call attention at the same time to the laxity of French officials. ‘‘When the French government entered into conversations with the United States for the purchase of American supplies left in France, Judge Parker, representing the American Government, agreed in writing that from April 9, 1919, on N the United States would dispose of no more of the supplies without the consent of the French government. Despite that agreement, the Americans never ceased selling in wholesale and in retail lots. "The French government accepted the American inventory as scrupulously exact and without confirming it The contract was signed Aug. 1, 1919. In the months intervening the Americans continued to dispose of the supplies. “In this contract the Americans reserved the right to remove material they had sold before Aug. 1, as well as material for the sale of which negotiations were in progress when the contract was signed. They also reserved the right to use any material they needed during the remainder of their stay in France and to take any goods needed by the troops in departing for America. “But when the first French agents arrived about Aug. 7 they were unable to take inventories. Certain subordinate American officers refused to permit them to examine the stocks and compelled them, if they desired to remain in the camps, to live in certain barracks and to obtain special permits before going out. “Furthermore, they found the grea dTsor ler, goods of all kinds and in such enormous quantities that one might have thought the Americans came to France to start a gigantic commercial enterprise. Bo great was the disorder that when the French government finally took charge snd began to sell, buyers who thought I they were purchasing typewriters often ! received boxes labeled ‘typewriters,’ but actually containing bars of chocolate. “At the camp of Saint Suplice, a regular robbery was carried on. Every day merchandise in enormous quantities passed out and when one of the French i-epresentatlves objected the American ofleers pointed to the reserves made by he American Government in the contract.- At the Glevres camp things were in such a mess that it took more than a year for us to complete an inventory.” At this juncture another deputy interjected : “It was a sort of Ali Baba’s cave, ; wasn't it?” “No,” replied M. Vavasseur. “There were only forty thieves in Ali Baba’s cave.” CITY WANTS A “CHOO CHOO."
