OPENING STOCKS INFLUENCED BY , BUSINESS NEWS Active Rail Changes Confined to Fractional Area, Daily Stock Letter NEW YORK. May 29.—There is no known formula for successfully mixing business and politics. Whenever the attempt is made business usally rets the worst of it; and we are going to have this to think about for some little while. The prospect of a third party will necessitate revising a good many opinions with regard to the next election. And if those making a profession of politics can't figure it out now, what should timid capital do? . . I think it will do just what it is doing It will keep itself liquid and in reserve be content with such interest rate as can be obtained ar.d come out in the open ready to perform its real function when the outlook is clearer. There is no thinking of a rising market. The best you will get is an occasional rally. By United Press NEW YORK, May 29.—Stocks had a good tone in the early dealings stimulated by the generally constructive overnight news. Satisfactory news of the way general business is holding up was furnished by the report of car loadings for the week: ended May 17, which totaled 913,407 against 909,187 in the preceding week. Changes among the Active rails were confined to a fractional area in the initial .trading, but were mostly on the side of the advance, industrials were steady around previous closing prices. The exchange will he closed both Friday and Saturday. Opening prices: Anaconda 29%. off %: Pan-Petroleum (B t 48 % . off % ; C. & O. 79%. up %:A.

CLOSING GRAINS SNABPLY HIGHER Undergoes NumerI ous Dips and Rallies, By United Press CHICAGO, May 29.—Grains closed sharply higher on the Chicago Board of Trade Thursday. Wheat underwent numerous dips and rallies before a final spurt of buying brought a change for the better at the finish. It was purely a weather market, unfavorable crop news being the basis for buying strength. Corn closed higher. The full gain of the day, however, was not sustained. Profit takers became active pear the close in an attempt to reduce their lines on reports of a freer country movement. Oats made sympathetic gains. Provisions were nominal.

Hag—s3o. nationalbaYknotes SHOW MARKED STABILITY Principal Cause, Limited and Unchanging Volume of Bonds. Asa result of the increase in other forms of currency, notably gold and Federal reserve notes, the relative importance of national bank currency as compared with our total circulating medium has been decreasing for some years, says the National Bank of Commerce of New York in the June issue of Commerce Monthly. Nevertheless, "the amount of national bank notes secured by Government obligation has shown a degree of stability during the at decade. The liability of national banks for circulation outstanding was $727,000,000 on Oct. 21, 1913, and $726,000,000 at the end of 1924. The princiral causes of this stability appear to be the limited and comparatively unchanging volume of bonds carrying the circulation privilege, the small and variable profit which may result from issues and the indisposition of most banks to alter the amount of their bond-secured circulation. There are now only four issues of Government bonds which carry the circulation privilege.”

GEORGE, Staten Island, N. Y., May 29.—Harry Hoffman was found guilty of the murder of Mrs. Maude Bauer by a jury here today and was sentenced Immediately by Judge Tleman to from twenty years to life in Sing Sing prison.

They saw tho piston displacement of the motors drop from 600 inches to 122 inches, and yet the speed constantly in creased. And now they are back again for another race Friday. Field Is Narrowed Present indications are that less than twenty-five cars will start. With the qualification of Frank Harder’s Barber-Warr.ock and L, L. Corum’s Duesenberg, Wednesday, the field njumbered twenty-two. Meantime the Sinclair special was withdrawn due to motor trouble. This left three cars which may qualify in time for the race, the Wells Hornet, Tom Alley’s Kes-Line special, which is lost somewhere befween Detroit and Indianapolis, and the Roof Special, which refused to get going Thursday. Speedway Paragraphs In the long history of the race only once has rain necessitated postponement. That was in 1915 when Ralph DePalma set "the record at 89.84, a mark which stood for six years. • • • Practically the entire police force will be on duty Friday.
