CRUCIBLE STEEL HITS NEW LOW Market Closed Unsettled, With Drive Against Industrials. NEW YORK. May 24.—The stock market closed unsettled today. Trading In the last hour was marked by a rigorous drive against many of the industrial Issues. Crucible Steel was forced down to 67%. the lowest touched in recent years, and a loss of over 5 points, from which It rallied to 68%. Baldwin Locomotive was in large supply, dropping to 79, and United States Steel fell to 52%. Mexican Petroleum, after moving up to 151%, dropped to 147%, and Studebaker, after recovering 2% points to 74%. fell to 74% The railroad issues were also in supply, Reading dropping 2 points to 70%. Total sales of stocks were 841,900 shares; bonds, 116.353,000. In contrast to the action of the general market, Mexican Petroleum and PanAmerican held well, reflecting no doubt and over-extended short interest, which is probably made unconfortable by the report of an additional big wed and the establishment of additional oil territory. (By Thomson 4 McKinnon) —May 24 We have had another market session well calculated to further weaken confidence of the investing public. At the opening of today's session there was no pronounced selling movement, except in a few groups, including the sugar, automobile stocks. But when the announcement came that the preferred dividend on Central leather bad been passed, pressure became general. There was liquidation and renewed Srofesslonal selling. The passing of this lvidend was particularly harmful to the market because there have been many reports recently of improvement in the leather Industry, with an upward tendency in prices, which should have enabled the company to derive profit from Its inventory. This naturally will increase doubt with regard to many other companies, which is unfortunate at a time when the market needed stabilizing influences rather than disturbing ones. The equipment stocks were sufferers during the day with Baldwin as the conspicuous feature and this also reflects the doubt that exists as to the dividend action of this company which is due shortly.

GRAIN VALUES . RISE SHARPLY | Reports of Dry, Hot Weather Chief Mart Influences. CHICAGO, May 24.—Reports of dry and hot weather from Kansas and Nebraska which may cause the grain crop to ripen prematurely resulted in big gains in quotations on the Chicago Board of Trade today. Provisions were generally higher. May wheat opened at $1.68%, up l%c, and closed 6c higher. July wheat opened unchanged at $1.28 and closed up B%e. May corn opened off %c at 58%c, and closed 2%c higi \ July corn opened unchanged at 61%c and closed up 2%e. May oats opened at 38%e, unchanged, and closed up 3c. July oats opened, up %c at 40Vic, and closed, up 3c. September oats opened, off %c at 41ftc, and closed 3%c higher. (By Thomson A McKinnon) —May 24 Wheat—Rain in Chicago and in one or two widely scattered places in the Southwest, along with brqad sentiment that 30c advance In July wheat was enough, caused an easy feeling early and made some local and scattered outside selling, but there was nothing in sight to justify and extravagant decline. Almost all circumstances were against and sustained break. The news commenced to come in of adverse conditions again soon and buying orders from all directions quickly advanced prices. The Nebraska news was to the effect that the wheat crop >s going back daily. Kansas reported very high temperatures, Wichita saying hottest day of the season. There was no reassuring news from any part of the winter wheat country. With the very great discount of the July, under tie May and cash wheat and with weather conditions so unsatisfactory the selling side of the Julv even at the advance does lot look attractive. A good deal will and .pend upon weather conditions, but the crop Is already getting such an unfavorable start that it will be subject more thau ever to weather conditions in the next few weeks. The statistical position is still impressive with the demand absobing all the cash offers every time the market sets back. Corn and Oats—Some of the larger commission bouses who have experts in the field were heavy buyers of the coarse grains today which leads us to expect some adverse reports from the growing oats and corn It would not surprise us to see the corn encounter unfavorable weather very soon and we all know that oats can be'injured in June very easily. Btop orders were uncovered in considerable volume in the coarse Igrains as there hat been considerable very confident selling in these grains. Provisions Outside of the hog prices being 10c lower, there was no news in this market Tne receipts of hogs kept llbeal and the stength in gain was esponsible for any steadiness that showed.

‘KEEP CAPITAL HOME’-HARDING President Would Invoke Legislation Affecting Foreign Bond Sales. WASHINGTON, May 24. President Hardings plan to stimulate American industry by making the jtroceeds of foreign bond sales In the United States applicable to domestic product shipments abroad, today developed these new angles: 1. American bankers will be given an explicit statement of the Administration s attitude that American investment capital should be kept at home and that money realized on foreign bond issues must not be diverted to purchase of goods in other countries. 2. The administration prepared to go to Congress and ask for new regulatory powers over financial institutions, In the event there is failure in any quarter to give the Government the staunchest support in its new policy. 3. The Treasury aud State Departments are engrossed in consideration of tentative plans of American financiers calling for the forthcoming flotation of allied bond issues, which may mount into the millions, and may tap Americana capital in those agregate sums. 4. Rehabilitation of Germany Industrially aud financially, through allied offerings of German reparation bonds, possibly as security for other allied national and municipal bonds, Is contemplated. 5. No objection has beea registered officially to offering of German reparation bonds in the United States, but it is understood that such offerings could only be possible with any degree of success after they have been guaranteed beyond all question by the alleged power floatin gthern and chiefly benefiting from their disposition. President Hard ( ng and his advisers, it is understood, are to pursue the most vigorous measures in restricting the use of American capital to finance purely American products from domestic factories and farms. The effect in the near future will be to speed up the movement .of raw materials, chiefly cotton into Germany and contiguous countries.

ASK LOCATION OF BUREAU IN CITY National Service Men’s Body Would Bring Federal Employes Here. An effort is being made by the Indianapolis Chamber of Commerce to Induce the Bureau of War Risk Insurance to establish its consolidated service men’s bureau for the Seventh district at Indianapolis instead of at Cincinnati. This would mean the bringing to Indianapolis of 500 Government employes. In a wire yesterday to MaJ. M. R. Wainer, chariman of the consolidation committee of the Bureau of War Risk Insurance at Washington, D. 0., the Chamber points out that with seventeen main line railroads radiating in every direction, with splendid buildings, with an average rental of less than 30 cents a square foot against $1.25 in Cincinnati, which city is making a strenuous effort to get the bureau, a saving of more than $50,000 a year would be made. The Chamber of Commerce is also pointing out that the national headquarters of the American Legion makes Indianapolis a center of patriotic activities. The Chamber has asked the War Risk Bureau to give them an opportunity to present a complete case through a personal representative before a decision is reached as to which city will be used. According to the Chamber of Commerce, they have tentatively arranged space which would be available for the Government for this bureau in case it decided to move it here.
