SrOCKS ADVANCE WITH SIGNING OF • TAX LEGISLATION American Can, Baldwin, U, S, Pipe and General Electric Reach Highs,

Daily Stock Letter

At last tax reduction is a reality. It will help some in a business way. Four months ago this law would have aided materially m keeping business going-, but now that business is off and off sharply, it will take more than a tax law. I think that business will wait now until it has some idea of who will be the head of the government. Many are of the opinion that immediately after the two leading political parties have nominated their candidates, business will take a turn for the better. 'I can still see no reason for tinything more than temporary rallies.—BHE. By United Press NEW YORK. June 3. —President Coolidge’s action in signing the tax bill had a strengthening effect on the whole market in the early dealing and good sized advances were scored by leading stocks. New highs on the current recovery were reached by American Can at 103"s; Baldwin at 109 %; General Electric at 219!* and United States Cast Iron Pipe at 90. Another helpful factor was the •:ement of President Sloan of leral Motors, who said that business would go ahead on a constructive basis if President Coolidge was nominated. He stated that the general feeling in business circles "was that Coolidge would be elected. Opening prices: IT. S.

Liquidation by Tired Longs Causes Drop. By Vnited Press CHICAGO, June 3.—Grains had an uneven finish on the Board of Trade Tuesday. Liquidation by tired longs toward the close caused wheat prices to drop to anew low level for the day. Competitive buying- kept com'fractionally higher. This buying was in the face of heavy Argentine shipments. Oats held firm and closed showing no change. Provisions finished irregular. The wheat trade close was not expected to show a decline after the spirit of optimism displayed by discouraged traders who sold out Monday and reinstated their lines at today’s opening. So great was this better feeling that wheat started a fraction higher. Com had a good start and buying on any dip after receipt crop news - Oats trading was ligm on initial deals and was on a Bteady basis. Chicago Grain Table —June 3 WHEAT— Prev. Open. High. Low.

Mountain lions? They’re all in the day’s work for Bob Bakker of Libby, Mont. Armed with a lasso and with his dogs, he roams through Glacier National Park and nearby mountains looking for lions. He ropes them like a cowboy ropes a steer. Bob’s touted as the champion bare-hat|ded lion catcher of America. He caught five hundred in the last twenty years. Most of them have gone to circuses and zoos. And Bob’s partner, Jim YVhilt of Eureka, Mont., who has been in the business only four years,’ already has one hundred to his credit. Picture on the upper left shows Bob and his dogs, the one on the lower left shows him bringing in one of his catches. ' On the right is one of the beasts he has chased up a tree.
