STOCK MARKET CLOSE STEADY U. S. Steel Moves Up Nearly 2 Points in Last Hour. NEW YOKK. Jane 21.—The stock market closed steady today. The market showed a steady tone !n the last hour, although some of the active issues recoiled at=ont 1 point from the high levels. United States Steel moved up nearly 2 point* to 72*4. from which it reacted to 72. and Baldwin after selling at 66, yielded to 64%. Studchaker reacted over 1 point to 72% and Mexican Petroleum, after selling at 167%. fell to Inst*. The railroad issues held most of their gains. Total sale* of stock* were 1,141,000 shares; bonds. $10,066,000. (By Thomson & McKinnon.) —June 21 — We have had a delightful change in the market today. It has been as good as it was unexpected. Puring the early moments of the session there was some ndication of a continuation of liquidation today, commission houses being liberally supplied with selling orders; but support materialized from an unexpected source. The professional element took the stocks that were offered and continued to bid for and buy more. At the start support was concentrated on single issues. Stiulebaker being the first to be favored, then Sinclair and ns the genernl market began to show signs of stability. the buying extended until It Included practically the entire active list. Professional buying is naturally not looked upon as making a permanent resting place for stocks, hut nevertheless at such a time a rally, whether temporary or permanent, is exceedingly pleasant and will be welcomed by all. When we look Into fundamentals and search for a real basis for permanent betterment of the market, we must confess disappointment. It Is not here, and there Is even no indication of It. With stagnation in basic industries, and railroad car loadings for the weak ending June 4 showing a decrease of 122.399 cars, when compared with the same week last year, and conditions in other parts of the world such that increased export business cannot be looked for. we can hardjy be justified in expecting anything more this time than rallies of a temporary character.

GRAIN PRICES MAKE GAINS Reports of Bad Crop Conditions Chief Mart Influence. CHICAGO, June 21. —Grain prices advanced ou the Board of Trade here today, the result of active buying and reports of bad crop conditions due to the dry weather. Provisions were higher. July wheat opening unchnaged at $1.25, advanced 4e at tile close. September wheat was up 3%e at ahe start at $1.21% and advanced l%c additional before the close. July corn opened nt 63%e, up %c and advanced %e later. September corn was up %o nt 04%e at the beginning and advanced %c later. July oats opening unchanged at 37%c, advanced lc later. September oats declined %c nt the start at 39%c, but advanced 2%c at the close. (P.y Thomson A .McKinnon.) —June 21— Wheat—Disappointing thrashing returns came in freely from Indiana, Ohio anil Kentucky on winter wheat, and it looks as though the winter wheat crop totals would surely be reduced later. Reports from South Dakota were baa, from all reporting sources, while North Dakota and Minnesota sent favorable news. Not so much was heard about the bad business outlook, but it must not be overlooked. The grains have tee'n oversold lately, on commercial and Wall street news, and recent sellers sought tlicir profits today. Houses with eastern connections were lending buyers, finding offerings light until prices made good advances. Cash premiums were noticeably easier, losing as much as 4 cents on some grades. The movement of new wheat is starting slower than expected and, but for the liberal movement yet of old wheat to fill previous sales, the aggregate would look small. France reported droughty conditions prevailing and Argentina is calling fur rain. October wheat in Liverpool was large. Large Kansas City mill reports best domestic (lour business yesterday in a year. Vve could easily run into some new export business in wheat on the French and Argentine conditions. Corn and Oats—The demand fur corn camp from two sources—those who had sold 1 it so freely last week nnd new buyers who based their belief in higher values inter, on smaller receipts and expectation that crop scares would be In order soon. Oats were strong almost all dnv. Reports from central States and South Ikakota were very unfavorable. Crop ha* had forcing weather at wrong time and is filling poorly with light yield and poor quality probnbie. We believe Sejiti-mter oat-i will work higher. Provisions—Hogs were again sharply higher and consumptive demand called better. Trade was light, but what was done brought better prices. We feel friendly to produce at present.

Hadley Says Edison’s Idea Is All Wrong PITTSBURGH. Juno 21. —“College graduates are not supposed to be walking encyclopedias," said President Arthur T. Hadley of Yale University, commenting on Edison's question list at the dinner of the Yale alumni. “Some business men think they ought to be," Mr. Had'.ey said, “but man was not intended to compete with the encyclopedias but to know how to use them. “lie was not Intend'd to make hu mind a storeroom of fact* but a place where facts can lie perceived, used and forgotten when you have d-me with them. "Not the Imparting of facts but the development of ideals and powers; this is education; this Is the thing that makes boys into men and that brings out every element: of leadership in them. “It is not enough to know facts about the Bilde or Shakespeare; we must feel the writer’s meaning. "It is not enough to remember dates of history; we must have learned the lessons of history ns a means of understanding human conduct.”
Stewed Prunes Adorn latest Paris Bonnets LONDON, June 21. —Rare and refreshing fruits, real and artificial transparent nnd opaque, are the latest fancy In women's hat decoration. Frniterres, horiculturlsts, market, gardeners, street-brrow men, however, would fall to recognize the strange growths which women are n w flaunting on their heads here. Paris is said to be the home of tbe.se unknown fruits. We have passed the stage of red currants and carrots. The designer Is filling the shop windows with fruits that have never been known to grow except in fairy books and in the transformation s-enes of the Christmas pantomime. A woman passing along Bond street was seen to be wearing a red hat decorated with a hybrid cluster of stewed prunes nnd pomegranates. Another hat was trimmed with small red coeoanuts In the fashionable hat designers' salons there are new creations in glass and celluloid fruits resembling crystal preserves.

Prosaic Farm Life Pals on City Girl SIOUX FALLS, S. n„ June 21.—A romance starting in a Chicago candy shop in February of last year has been terminated in the Circuit Court of Davison County, South Dakota. Mrs. Emily Ashmore, who a little more than a year ngo was a clerk in a candy establishment in Chicago, surrendered to the protestations of love of 11. K. Ashmore, a wealthy farmer living near Artesian. S. D., and agreed to wed him and keep house for him on his farm and ranch. Immediately after a hasty courtship and marriage the Ashmores took up their residence on the farm. But the lonely, quiet life on the ranch, instead of quieting the nerves of the Chicago “candy girl,” preyed upon her nerves until she could stand it no longer. So she packed up and started back to her old home. She stopped in Davison County long enough to institute suit for divorce. The chief contention in her suit was for alimony. Ashmore, in defense, offered as evidence an agreement, signed by his wife, in which she agreed to aecept SI,OOO and waive all other claims. Mrs. Ashmore undertook to have this agreement set aside by the court, but failed. Judge Frank B. Smith, who presided at the hearing, while declining to set aside the agreement, granted her her freedom.

Texas Farmers Report Deer Raid Corn Crop MASON, Texas, June 21.—Deer have become so numerous In this section that farmers have made an appeal to the State game commissioner for permission to kill the animals. It is stated that herds of deer have invaded the fields where corn and other crops are growing nnd have done much damage. They have become a veritable pest, and unless something is done immediately to rid the country of the animals, all the crops will be practically destroyed, according to representations wade by farmers to the State game commissioner. It is asserted that the open season for killing bucks is too short and that as a re*ult of this protection they have multiplied until they have become a damaging nuisance. When John Lowren went down to his bottom land field of 100 acres bordering the Llano River, to give his corn crops its final plowing, one morning recently, he was astonished to see a herd of deer, which he estimated to number more than fifty, pasturing upon his promising corn. He attempted to drive the animals out of the field, but as fast as he would get a few of them over the line fence they would jump back when he left the spot. He finally gave up the fight in despair. Herds of deer came out of the hills and Invaded other farms and the destruction has reached large proportions, it is stated. STEAL TELEGRAPH LINE. BREMEN.

MILLIONS LOST ON STOCK EXCHANGE Millionaires Lament; Exchange Officials Seek Light cn Raiders. NEW YORK. June 21.—A deep mystery hangs over Wall street today. The mystery concerns the source of the tremendous flood of selling orders that have forced the price of stocks on the New York Stock Exchange down to the lowest levels since the peace break in 1917. The shrinkage in stock values ba* mounted Into billions of dollars and the vast fortunes of millionaires, which consisted mainly of industrial and railroad stocks have dwindled enormously. All classes of securities are being hammered relentlessly from the standard issues with fine dividend records to the impoverished rails. Canadian Pacific, which sold as high a* $283 a share in 1913, sold down to slOl a share,' the lowest price it has touched in twenty years. The action of this stock has traders puzzled as it pays a 10 per cent dividend. United States Steel common sold down to s7l. the lowest price since 1915, when it sold at S3B a share. Mexican Petroleum is another stoct that has suffered greatly, selling down tc *lO3 a share against $234 a share iu 1919. The spectacular break of fifty points in this issue has made it an o' joct of particular scrutiny by the officials ol the Stock Exchange, who are keeping watch for signs of organized raiding. Southern Pacific, a standard railway security paying six per cent dividend, sold down to $68.25 a share, against slOl a share earlier in the year just before the segregation of the California oil properties. Northern Pacific, a rich and powerful member of the Hill group, which pays seven per cent dividend, dropped to $64 a share. In 1916 it sold as high us sll<l a Bha re. It is a bear market with a vengeance, but while- the speculators are making profits by "selling short" the "odd lot” brokerage houses (firms that handle small transactions) report that the public is coining into the market for an increasing volume of stocks. These issues are bought outright for investments. The orders range from five to 100 shares aud come from bargain hunters. The "police committee" of the exchange. which watches for sharp practive, is very active, but the report that governors of the stock exchange will conduct an inquiry to determine the character of the heavy selling is not officially confirmed.
