STOCK EXCHANGE AWAITS FURTHER NEWS OF BONOS Market Unusually Quiet in Early Dealings With Easy ToneDaily Stock Letter (By Thomson & McKinnon) NEW YORK. May 19.—Quite na'urally the ultimate disposition of the Bonus Bill is uppermost in the minds of most of us this morning'. Bor the sake of argument, let us assume that in the final review by the Senate, the presidential veto is overridden. Just h*>w seriously will it effect business in geiseral and the stock market in particular? The first thought is that tax revision may be jeopardized and this is quite possible, but we have known for many weeks t2i.it the plan as originally outlined by Mir. Mellon. the plan that promised the {greatest relief to the greatest number had absolutely no chance of acceptance and any of the substitutes submitted would meet with little favor in the eyes of these most interested. Industrial activity, extremely sensitive to changing conditions has reflected all this, declining to its present limited volume. and the stock market with its usual forecasting accuracy has receeded accordingly. Now these are many evidences that the recession in business has reached a halting place and the action of the stock market would seem to indicate that existing conditions and possibly future fears are reflected in present prices Beth business and markets are marking time and awaiting further developments. Bv Vnited'Press NEW YORK, May 19.—Most of the speculative community's attention was devoted at the start of the week to the contest over the bonus erasure in the Senate. With the scheduled for late in the day, was shown to await further news from Washington amV the market was quiet in the early dealings with an easy tone characterizing the industrial list wpile rails maintained a strong tendency. Baldwin failed to respond t<3 the news from Mexico City that President Vaculin has closed a contract totaling $2,000,000 with the Mexican national railways. Opening prices: American Can lOOti, off Studebaker 31%.; C & O. 62 I *. Maryland preferred 34%,. oft l i: United States Steel 96%, off %; Colorado Fuel 39^8: Consolidated Gas 63%; General Motorrs 13%; Sinclair 19. off "g; Bethlehem Steel i7?s, off %: N. & W. 119. Improved Tone Washington advices in the later morning indicated that the President needed only two senatorial votes to sustain his bonus veto. With the Administration forces maneuvering for a delay in voting, stocks displayed an improved tone toward noon despite a further outburst of selling in motor accessories which carried Stewart Warner into new low' ground for the year at 64*4. j Northwestern rails were helped by the defeat of the proposed Gooding amendment to the transportation act which would have taken away from the Interstate Commerce Cemmis•i power to adjust long haul ght rate schedules. Local Bank Clearings Indianapolis bank clearings Monday were $3,323,000. Bank dehits amounted to $7,324,000.

WHEAT SLUMPS; OTHER GRAINS OP Crop and Weather News Cause Some Apprehension, Bti T'nited Press: CHICAGO, May 13. —Wheat closed lower, while other grains showed small gains on the Board of Trade today. Buying power failed in wheat after a midday bulge and prices suffered moderate setbacks. Crop and weather news continued to cause apprehension.

PERFUMES HELD BIGGEST SOURCE OF ILLICIT BOOZE Startling- Statistics Quoted by Treasury Department Official, * Times Washington Bureau, l.iii srw J ork A re. WASHINGTON, May 19.—" There are two great enemies today to a proper enforcement of prohibition. One is smuggling from abroad, which we are trying to stop by enlarging the Coast Guard, and the other is the diversion of liquor manufactured ostensibly for lawful purposes This declaration of Representative Louis C. C’ramton of Michigan before the committee considering his bill providing for a bureau of prohibition in the Treasury Department, has given rise to speculation as to how much liquor is being sold in the Unied States annually Startling Siatisties From Dr. J M. Moran, chief of the alcohol division of the Treasury Department, the committee received the startling information that enough alcohol is being diverted annually to make 45,000,000 quarts of whisky. At that rate more than - 100.000 quarts of whisky are being sold ilftUy from that source alone, to .-ay nothing of the other three sources. "There were produced last year 6.3.000,000 gallons of industrial alcohol," Doran said. “Approximately 10.ti00,000 gallons were tax paid and distributed as pure alcohoj to concerns through Federal prohibiten directors. I would estimate r.u0.000 gallons illegal diversion from this source." L/eak in Perfumery Blit it is in the field of the per fumery, cosmetic ami toilet article ; trade where Doran says the largI cat diversion exists. 1 Between 8.000.000 arid 9.000,000 j gallons of the 30,000,000 distributed jes specially denatured alcohol under Ia permit and bond system are esti | maUd to be used in this trade.

WOMEN INDORSE l F. W. SALE OF ‘BUDDY POPPIES’ Money Received for Flowers to BeJJsed for Relief of ex-Service Men, Bv Times Special KANSAS CITY, May 19.—Daughters of the American Revolution, American War Mothers and the Women's Overseas Service League are among the outstanding womens patriotic organizations which have expressed by letter to Brig.

FRENCH SHAKE UP WATCHED CLOSELY BT WASHINGTON \ ' Election of Liberals May Permit Broader Attitude on Part of U, S', Washington Bureau, 1322 New York Ave. WASHINGTON, May 19. The sweeping changes scheduled to take place in the French government the first week in June as the result of Sunday’s elections are being watched here with almost feverish interest. Not only Is it felt that the defeat of Premier Poincare, and the early substitution of a more moderate leader, will greatly facilitate a settlement of the European quarrel, but many, even officials like Senator Borah, former League of Nations irreconcilable, admit events may now so shape themselves that the United States will adopt a more “tolerant and constructive foreign policy.” The resignation of President Millerand of France would not be surprising. Last February he threatened to resign if the national bloc, head by Poincare, were not tained in its drastie tax-increase policy. That time, he won. But just before the recent elections he again threatened to quit if the voters did not give the bloc a majority. ' This time he lost. Now the victorious Federation of the Left—as the group of Socialists, radicals and other moderates is called —Is vigorously demanding that he make good his threat. ♦ Former Premier Aristide Briand, a moderate without party, but in strong favor with" the victorious Left, stands a good chance to succeed as president, with Deputy Edouard Hertiot, Socialist mayor of Lyons and leader, of the fight against Poincare, ais his prime minister. Briand, well known in this country as having attended the Washington conference, is 61 years old. He says he is too old to stand the strain of office. Herriot is a considerably younger mat}, around 50, robust as an ox. Short, heavy-set, his pompadour of bronze and stubby moustache giving him an air of extreme vigor, he looks and acts like an American. And he thinks like one.
