STOCK MARKET CLOSES STEADY Issues Reach High Marks for in Final Hour. NEW YORK. June SO. —The stock market closed steady, most of the leading issues being in good demand in the last hour and moving up to new high levels for the day. United States Steel advanced over 1 point to 74% and Baldwin rose 3 points tO iOf'4 The railroad shares continued in large demand. Northern Pacific moving up from 08% to 71% and Great Northern showing a gain of nearly 3 points at 68%. The oil shares recovered from 1 to 3 Foints, Mexican petroleum moving up core 98% to 101% and General Asphalt from 48% to 00%.

(By Thomson & McKipnon.) ——•Tune 30— Mexican Petroleum is still in the limelight. It was. in times gone by, a source of strength to he market, just as tt has been recently a source of weakness. The announcement that the congressional committee has provided an import duty on crude petroleum was the immediate cause for renewed liquidation, which resulted not only in a tremendous loss in this particular stock, but was a controlling factor In undermining the stabllitv of the entire stock market. Aside from this there was nothing in the news today that could be called particularly helpful to the market, with the exception of the reiteration of the suggestion that the present Administration is strenuously engaged in trying to settle railroad claims, aand to that extent help business. But in the channels of trade we are still unable to detect an; changes that would indicate material progress. The reports from trade circles covering our basic industries are discouraging, and it is now claimed that in the verv near future several steel companies will announce anew scale of cut prices, to be followed by reductions in wages, and this, of course, means that there is still no encouraging signs of improved business. At the same time we have had liquidation to such an extent as to warrant the belief that the technical position is sound, and would therefore warrant a fair recovery even though it prove to be but temporary.

WHEAT PRICES SUSTAIN RALLIES Corn and Oats Close Lower— Provisions Irregular. CHICAGO, June 30.—Grain prices were Irregular in dull trading on the grain mart here today. Wheat made up some of the heavy losses received in the last few days, but other grains were slightly lower. Provisions were irregular. July wheat opened off %c at $1.23 and closed l%c higher. September wheat opened up %c at $1.22% and closed up lc. July corn opened at 61%e, off l%c and closed off %e. September corn opened off %c at 63c and closed off l%e. July oats opened off %c at 36c and closed %c lower. September oats opened %c at 38%c and closed off %c. (By Thomson A McKinnon.) —June 30Wheat—Some rain In western Canada, prediction of showers in Montana and Wyomiug and rather free offerings of new wheat for nearby shipment colored the early market for wheat. Crop news from the northwest has, again, been of an unfavorable nature, in fact some of It quite pessmlstle, but it seems to have been Ignored because of the offerings of the new crop from south. Price changes are wider than the volume of trade, or the news, warrant. This is due to the lack of broad Interest In the market. The rally in values at the last was under demand from former sellers and was not any revival of new Interest. Germany is taking moderate quantities on long time credits, but otherwise, the foreign demand is siow. Minneapolis reports a considerable improvement in the milling demand. The expected strike of elevator labor is not a market influence as elevator operators believe they cun handle grain with new employees. All advices from the northwest cover the necessity of Immediate ratn and of a soaking nature. Hot weather is forcing the growth and beads are not filling be cause of the drouth. At the present moment, the trade is more impressed with the offerings of winter wheat than with spring wheat outlook, but we feel that unless widespread and heavy rains occur over the coming holiday market will sell higher. Corn and Oats—The action of wheat bas had considerable to do with the changes in corn and oats, but the very slow cash demand for coarse grains underlies prices. Corn news remains favorable, although rains will be necessary within a short time. In the event o fhigher wheat prices, believe coarse grains will sympathize. Provisions —Packing interests have been buyers of July lard and there has been a little better general demand for Sep tember lard. Strength in hogs is helping prices. There is no weakness in the market except the comparative narrowness of new demand.

MODEL SYSTEM FOR BOYSr CLUB AT WASHI NGTON Big Buildings, WitSh Baseball Field Between, With Youngsters. USEFUL TRADES TAIUGHT By FREDERIC J. HA*SKIXf.
WASHINGTON, D. C.— Clubs foV boys, where the gang instinct can find \an orderly expression, where boys can! learn how to play and work and get (along with each other, are springing up In many American cities. Probably etfery city needs one. Washington now /has a flourishing Boys’ club. This is an account of a visit to It. In the big hallway, the Secretary of the Interior presented a register for guests to sign, and deputed a lesser dignitary, a member of the police force, to do the honors.
There are two large buildings with a baseball field between. The whole place seemed swarming with boys between eight and eighteen. Y'lsitors' day was going off with a bang. A boy sc ut band was tearing off the ceiling of the library with professional ease. A steady undertone of laughter and conversation showed that the music was not supplied to flit In any gap of awkward silence. In the bay window of the library, a committee on refreshments with a mother or two in charge, worked busily to supply guests with lemonade. But the policeman guide did not Unger here. He led his group of charges downstairs and with a sweep of his trai he Indicated the poolroom one of the most popular features of the club.
“TKls is for the big boys,” he said proudly.
