United Press CHICAGO. June IT.—After a sen Sd'jonal dip led by wheat, in which all rains hit low prices at the start, a sh.sao upturn was made and not only vxTO all losses recovered, hut gains were made when trading closed on the Board of Trade Tuesday. Profit-taking caused the slump at the start. Berne selling by those disappointed over >ilure of buying power was in evident-... but those willing to reduce their linfcv moved cautiously. Corn stepped out of its slump and, gathering st-ength from wheat, closed sharply higher. Excessive rains over sections where hot dry weather is needed was a strengthen ing factor. Oats were inclined to lose ground were it not for strength in othegrains. Speculative interests was dormant. Provisions went to a higher finish on reports of better foreign inquiry.

Speculation, turn-over of hank deposits and United States money rates are decidedly favorable. The British money rate is less favorable. In few of these conditions it seems Inevitable that the turn to the bullish side will be registered the middle of this month, illustrating that the extreme low of the downward movement which started in ; February should l-e reached before j July 1. There is a strong assurance of | fundamental strength in the invest - ! ment market during the next few j months.

INSURGENTS MEET FOR ORGANIZATION OF ‘THIRD PARTY' Outcome Uncertain —Committees Undecided on Plotform, By United Press CONVENTION HALL, ST. PAUL, Minn., June 17.—Western revolt against existing economic and political conditions was concentrated in a picturesque setting here today when the "third party” convention held its opening session. The assembly, summoned to organize anew third party and give its support to Senator Robert M. La Follette as presidential candidate, was called to order by Temporary | Chairman William Mahoney, representative of the Minnesota FarmerLabor party. About 300 delegates, representing a score of States, with a small bloc of Communists who threaten to disrupt the convention, were present at the meeting. Mahoney Is "Keynoter” There were all descriptions of delegates at the hall when Mahoney be- | gan readuig his "keynote” address. | setting lforth the aims of the new national Farmer-Lahor party. Farmers jlfct in from the fields, ; labor organizers with their coats off. ; girl workers in knickerbockers, aged | women and mustached foreign-look-j ing men—all applauded enthusiastlI cally for Mahoney, a quiet whiteI haired little man who describes him- ! ?elf as a "dreamer.” There were j about twenty women among the dele gates. The session was opened by prayer i of the Rev. Howard Williams of the People's Church of St. Paul. He j asked the blessings of the Almighty i in the launching of the new political movement. Vacant Seats There were large patches of vacant sents in the theater. Many States | had failed to gend representatives. ; It had been expected about 1,000 delegates would attend. At the first mention of La Fol- | lotto's name in Mahoney's keynote j speech, tiiere were a few shouts and a round of hand-clapping. Many I delegates, however, openly refused to ! join in the demonstration. But when M? honey called for for mation of a aational farmer-labor : party there was a real convention J demonstration. Delegates rose from { their seats shouting and applauding, j It was several minutes before quiet was restored. Communists threatened to break | up the convention just as it got under way here today. | A hloc of ten delegates—which i Senator Robert M La Follette says represent the Moscow Internationale I —jammed the plans for farmer-labor j organizations in the convention j which was called to hind the socalled radical groups of the Nation j into anew third party, j Their wrath was first aroused when leaders of the various State I Fartner-Libor parties of the NorthI west decided that they must enter
