BUOYANCY MARKS GENERAL TRADING IN STOCK MARKET Even the Laggard Oils Come in for Substantial Recoveries—Sugars Strong. RAILS ALSO IMPROVE t Industrials and Specialties Alike Share Honors In Rallying Movement. The WALL STREET JOURNAL NEW YORK. Aug. 28. —Extension of virtual recognition to Mexico by the United States Government imparted a buoyant tone to the whole list in today's early dealings on the stock exchange and Baldwin made a new high on the move, while Gulf States Steel and American Sugar went into fresh high ground. Rails, which had the additional impetus of a number of favorable earnings statements, also were strong under leadership of New York Central, which scored a remarkable gain in net earnings last Bnonth. First Hour Stocks continued to move ahead in both the rail and industriaJ lists throughout the first hour. Steel, btudebaker, Can, Baldwin and other faovrites were in demand at the best levels of the present forward movement while a number of specialties scored sharp advance?. Steel common's rise to anew high recovery was followed by gains in Bethlehem, Republic and other leading independents. Practically all steel companies are expected to make a good showing for the first two months of the current uqarter. Second Hour Rallying tendencies took on a broader aspect in the late morning when even the oil shares began to participate in the recovery.. Gains averaging about a point took place in Sinclair, Maryland, Philipps-, Petroleum, Cosden. Producers and Refiners and California. Recent quiet absorption of the better class of oil shares has been based on the thought that demoralized conditions have been pretty well discounted at present levels. American Sugar’s rise was followed by Cuban American, reflecting dividend expectation.

Noon Hour Stocks maintained their upward trend throughout the noon dealing though nothing spectacular occurred. confidence was instilled by ■he persistent manner in which stand-! stocks crept ahead. Rails were 1 stimulated by the appearance of addi- j tional earnings statements of a favor-1 able character, while Studebaker’a newhigh at 108 was based on the prospect that earnings for the current quarter .will exceed any of a corresponding period in the company's history. Fourth Hour Stocks continued strong in the early afternoon trading, with issues cf the calibre of Fisher liody, Davidson Chemical and Gulf States Steel continuing to score sharp advances while standard rails, like Northern Pacific, Great Northern preferred, -Union Pacific and Reading gave evidence of furthering their previous gains. The recovery begun In the early trading seemed to broaden as the session progressed, with many stocks appearing on the tape that bad recently lain dormant. Closing Hour The close of the day's market session showed that the market as a whole had given another demonstration of its technical strength with recent gains consolidated and a general evening up of the list. The disposition of rails and oils to reflect the industrial advance was especially regarded as significant, as these sections have recently been neglected somewhat by the speculative community which had focused its attention on the general business outlook for the industrial department. C Twenty active industrial stocks on Bdonday averaged 92.48, up .88 per twenty active rails averaged 79.04, up .39 per cent. .

EASY UNDERTONE FEMES WHEAT Short Covering Causes Brief Rally; Later Overcome, By United Financial > CHICAGO. Aug. 28.—The market in wheat maintained an easy undertone up to the close on the Chicago Board of Trade today with final prices near the inside figures. Short covering developed a fractional rally at the close, but Interest in wheat generally was lacking. Broomhall estimated that exporting countries had 240.000,000 bushels more than would be required by Europe, and despite the decline, no export business of consequence was reported. Corn closed e little steady because of some late buying in cash wheat by eastern interests and shippers. < Oats were dull and neglected and c,osed lower, in sympathy with the other grains. Provisions had an easy undertone at the end, despite a late strengthening in hogs, caused by realizing of small packers. Chicago Grain Table —Aug. 28— WHEAT— Prev. Open. High. Low. Close, close.

The top of $9.90 for a load of selected lights was paid by a shipper, but the prevailing price in this class was [email protected]. Heavies sold up from [email protected], mixed from $9.40@ 9.70 and lights from [email protected], at which prices the market was quotably steady to 15c higher, though only a few of the hogs failed to show an advance. Pigs ruled steady at $9.50 down, as did light packing sows at $8.25 down, and rough sows at $7.25 down. Monday’s carryover was 109.

Aug 28.—The Japs —indirectly—may be responsible for 1 your poor golf course. Not the Japa- , nese nation, but their little black squirming bugs. They're Japanese beetles, smuggled- j in stowaways, which came to this 1 country in 1916 on some bulbs im- ' ported by n Philadelphia florist. Because something wasn't done im- : mediately to put this i>est out of , existence, it has now spread through New Jersey and Westward from Phlla- j delphia. It attacks lot* of other things liesides golf course turf. Small fruits, 1 cereals, forage crops, (lower garden plants, ornamental shrubs, shade and timber trees all suffer. The beetle has an especially strong appetite for red clover and green corn. It attacks the foliage of trees, leaving only the sad skeletons of the leave*. Finally alive to the menace—for that is what it is—Congress has ap propriated $300,000 per year to control the Iteetle and keep ft from going west. Notice that word "control.” Dr A. L. QuaiPtance. acting chief of the Bureau of Entomology, says that we can never completely eradicate this bug now that it is here and ha* a foothold. But by means of a rigid quarantine which keeps crops from the infested area from being shipped into "pure" j sections, he believes that millions of dollars of damage to crops can be prevented. The Japanese beetle in the last seven years has become as great a pest as the boll weevil. Congress provides $200,000 a year to fight this pest in the South.

SANITARY TAX CUT FOUGHT BY BOARD City Council Is Asked That Proposed Levy Be Made. If city council cuts the maintenance fund of the board of sanitary commissioners from 6.5 cents to 4 cents as proposed, no money will be left to operate the new city sewage disposal plant, a resolution adopted by the board declared today. Protests will be submitted to council next Monday night. Members of the board pointed out that a levy of four cents would bring In $248,000 for department operation and maintenance next year. Actual cost of ash and garbage collection, based on this year’s expenditure, will be $209,000, leaving $39,000 as a balance. Estimates on actual operation of sewage plant for next year now total $64,000.
