SHARP DRIVE IS ’LAUNCHED AGAINST INDUSTRIAL LIST Studebaker Drops to New 1923 Low, Followed Closely by Baldwin, The WALL STREET JOURNAL NEW YORK, June 26—Another sharp drive was launched against the industrial list at the start of trading on the stock market today. After opening fractionally higher, Studebaker was depressed to anew low at 100%, new low ground on the move was touched by Baldwin, Steel and other favorites. There was nothing mysterious about the decline, as professionals have ranged on the bear side for several months and had everything their own way when banking support failed to appear. First Hour Heavy selling of Studebaker, steel and Baldwin in the early dealings evidently was of professional origin and designed to facilitate covering in other sections of the list. This pressure was lifted before the end of the afirst hour, however, and a sharp rally Ensued in the industrial list. Studebaker recovered on the upturn, scoring an adanvce of 1% to 102%, while steel and Baldwin advanced a full point. Second Hour Professional pressure was concentrated on Baldwin in the late morning and this stock was depressed to anew low for the year. Bear operators were aided by a pessimistic letter sent out by an analytical service that had been bearish until recently. While this letter caused some liquidation, an important steadying factor was impressive support accorded Studebaker on many buying orders executed by the brokerage firm of Thompson & McKinnon, whose activities are ordinarily attributed to South Bend interests. Noon Hour Professionals continued their hammering tactics in the early afternoon and further recessions were forced throughout the list in the wake of a drop in Steel common to anew low lor the year at 90%. Studebaker also established anew low mark at 100% and Baldwin at 118%. But an oversold condition was brought to light when bears attempted to cover and sharp rallies of a point or more took place in issues that had borne the brunt of the morning pressure.

Fourth Hour Though prices in general showed ■some tendency to firm up in the afternoon trading, rails of the calibre %f Union Pacific, Heading, Chicago & Northwestern and Northern Pacific declined, induced largely by a bearish circular issued by a financial service which was extremely bullish when prices were considerably higher. Liquidation in these investment stocks created considerable irregularity as the selling progressed. Closing Hour Professionals continued to hold the field until the close of the day’s session and further progress was scored in the campaign against the passive resistance offered by leading banking interests. Disappointment was registered in the financial colony over the failure of Atchison to increase the $6 dividend rate as this stock had lately been singled out. for particular advancement on the hope that additional dividends would be declared. Twenty active industrial stocks on Monday averaged 91.48, off 1.82 per cent. Twenty active rails averaged 81146, off .97 per cent. Local Bank Clearings Indianapolis bank clearings Tuesday were $3,741,000; bank debits were $6,260,000. New York Money Market By United.

Business News

J>EW YORK. June 26. —The stock market action of Studebaker Motor has been a disappointment to its shareholders. For a stock paying $lO a share annually and earning three times that amount, around SIOO a share seems unusually low. Studebaker shares are widely held and there is no doubt that some of the selling has come from shareholders who have been frightened by bearish reports concerning the motor industry. BOSTON —"The events of the past two weeks nave shaken our faith." says Roger W Babson in advising clients who are unwilling to carry their stocks through a possible year of lower prices to sell immediately on every rally. “Business is at a crucial point.” it is added. “Such events as the failure of Knauth, Nachod & Kuhne and Zimmermann & Forshay are not to be turned aside ae unimportant. Increased commodity prices and inefficiency of labor are rapidly checking the Nation's purchasing power. We are especially determined by the great run of new securieties being issued." —— 3 LEGAL, NOTICES. (Concluded From Preceding Pace) NOTICE TO HEIRS, CREDITORS. ETC.

DECLINE MARKS GRAINTRADING Heavy Liquidation Toward Close Weakens Prices. By United Financial CHICAGO, June 26 Heavy liquidation, brought about by favorable crop news, caused grain prices to decline at the close of the Chicago Board of Trade today. After July wheat had reached within a fraction of the former low and deferred months recorded new low values on the present crop, that market rallied with a fair class of buying. Some of the purchasers were made for export demand. Corn displayed independent strength. Stocks were ldw in practically all sections. Farmers in the vicinity of Des Moines are hauling supplies to warehouses despite high prices offered at country elevators. With trading light and lack of speculative demand, oats declined. Provisions firmed up late, with trading dull. Chicago Grain Table Jnue 26 — WHEAT— Prev. Open. High. Low. Close, close.

Grain Briefs

CHICAGO, June 20.—Kansas is in need of 1.000 more harvest hands to cut the winter wheat crop, labor bureau officials declared. More progress has been in Europe by agriculture than any other Industry with the result that food production is on the Increase. the Department of Agriculture said. Wheat in the vicinity of Danville, 111., has ripened prematurely and harvesting is now under way. European countries are now buying wheat on amonthly basis instead of every two months as of late, due to unsettled conditions. Hot weather has improved the com crop and reports from the central States and Southweet declare a continuation will soon bring crops up to the average. The rye crop of the Northwest, already badly damaged, will not yield 15 per cent of laat year's total, experts said. Storms and tornadoes in the Northwest have seriously damaged crops. Very little wheat is being ottered to arrive from Illinois and Indiana, farmers ehowing a <tbr>oßitlon to hold back, halting for

GILLETTE’S RECESSION FEATURE OF CURB TRADE Stock Drops 28 Points During Day’s Session—Bears Active. By United Financial NEW YORK, June 26.—The sensational break in Gillette Safety Razor to anew 1923 low at 238 was the outstanding development in the curb market today. The decline was brought about on a relatively small turnover, twenty shares changing hands between 258 and 240. The break is believed to reflect prevailing market conditions, rather than any untoward development within the company. Pro-rating of crude oil by a number of companies brought heavy pressure in the oils and, encouraged by the absence of rallying power, bear operators followed up the midday lull by staging another drive against prices. Oils showed no point of resistence while Goodyear Tire & Rubber, Reo Motors and Peerless Motors in that division were especially vulnerable. Indianapolis Stocks —June 20— Bid. Ask.

Steeplejacks in Hot Sun Laugh at Death —~..w.,. : ., |gj^v 11 1 • ill!

CARL EVERSOLE (ABOVE) AND J. KELLEY. Steeplejacks have a hot and dangerous Job. But the fun makes up for that, say Carl Eversole, 1021 E. Pratt St., and J. Kelley, 1406 E. Tenth St., shown working on a big crane at the new Meyer-Kiser Bank building on E. Washington St. “It’s npt so bad when there is a breeze,” said Eversole, “but when there’s nothing but sun, sun, sun—well, how would you like to trade your place in a cool office beneath an electric fan?”

MISUSE OF STATE TRUCKCHARGED (Continued From Page 1) cord of wood and bring it back to the residence of a high State employe here. “We arrived at the penal farm Tuesday evening, stayed there all night, and in the morning painted the crane. “We had dinner at noon with officials of the farm and a couple of citizens there to visit prisoners. After we had eaten we talked about where we were to go from there. One of the guards remarked that would be a pretty expensive load of wood. “I figured it up with a pencil on 4 wooden bench. It figured, I estimated, $44.95 for the labof- and sl2 for our expenses for a day and a half, besides forty-five gallons of gasoline. Private Car Painted “Somebody remarked it looked funny to spend that much for wood when you could get it cheaper in Indianapolis.” The affidavit says the wood was brought to this city too late Thursday evening to deliver it to the State employe’s residence. Another employe took it the next day, it is alleged. “We came back to work at the usual time Friday morning,” says the affidavit. “Davidson and I were working on a Velie car, which I understand was privately owned by a Mr. Parnell. It was the second time we have painted it since last November, each time on State time and with State materials. Williams Gives Orders “Saturday at 9 a. m. Stanley Stokes, shop foreman, informed us that we were discharged because we spoke disrespectfully of the management of the State highway garage. “He explained to me that Mr. Howard of the penal farm had called up J. D. Williams, director of the State highway commission, and *old him about us explaining it would cost about $45 or more for the load of wood and that Williams had ordered us discharged Friday noon. He said that we had not been discharged then because they wanted the car we were working on finished. All four of us were discharged at noon Saturday. Forty-Mile Trip “I also have painted two cars on State time with State materials for Earl Crawford, member of the State highway commission.” Bartley said that he had instructed the men to get the wood, but had not realized how far out of the way It would be. Turkey Run is approximately forty miles northwest of Putnamville. The men were sent In the large truck because they also were to bring back two highway department wagons. Superintendent Howard of the penal farm asked that they be left, after the men arrived, Bartley said, so they were not brought here. Bills Awaited Bartley said that it was an assistant superintendent and not Howard who reported to Williams the conversation of the men. The Velie car belongs to Congressman Fred Purnell of the Ninth District, Bartley and Williams said. They said that Purnell lent It to the commission while he was in Washington and that a bill for the painting is to be rendered. Williams and Crawford said that a bill would be rendered to Crawford for the painting of his car. Crawford said he had asked for the bill several times but employes have been too busy to prepare it. Crawford also said he has bought tires through the commission, but always has paid for them.
