By United Pres* NEW YORK, July 18.—Substantial improvements in the grain market since early July has been recognized as one of the principal influences behind the appreciation in security values which started about the same time. * In the overnight news, the surprisingly favorable outcome of the recent boom on the Chicago Board of Trade was set for in the refusal of the Interstate Commerce Commission to grant reductions In rail rates on grain, grain products and hay, sought by States of the Mississippi and Missouri valleys.

Metal Stocks Favored Metal stocks were one of the buoyant groups of the late mo-ning. Shares of Silver Producing Companies were especially favored, owing to the recent apreciation In the price to around 70 cents. The advance was due to orders already being placed in this country by Russia and Poland and to the expectation of gradually increasing demand from European countries restoring their monetary structures to metallic basis. American Smelting, which has a large silver production, attained a record 1924 high at 67 \ at the head of a continued movement in the coppers which resulted in further gains in active issues like Kennecott, Cerro Depasco, Anaconda and Inspiration. The oils maintained their better action.

REBELS HOLD RAO PAULO AND STOP FEDERALTROOPS Situation in Brazilian City Settles Down to Stubborn Siege, By United Presi BUENOS AIRES, July 18.—Hidden behind the absolute military censorship established by the Brazilian government, events in the State of Sao Paulo, where State troops, aided by a part of the Federal gar ifison, have revolted against the government, are moving toward an impasse. Rebels control the greater part of Sao Paulo, but are unable to effect communications with the outside. " Reports filtering into Buenos Aires and Montevideo indicated Federal forces, although now numbering about 2U.000 men, with tanks, airplanes, heavy artillery and machine gun units, are unable to make headway against the well trained Sao Paulo units and have settled down to a siege The P'ederal tactics so far, according to travelers reaching Montevideo, have been scattered raids and intermittent bombardment of Sao Paulo City, which has resulted in considerable loss of life among the civilian population.

DRVS RALLY TO PROTEST OUSTER OF BERTf ORGAN Friends Plan to See Commissioner Haynes at Winona Lake Sunday, Protests against removal of Bert C. Morgan. Federal prohibition director for Indiana, will be made to Roy C. Haynes, national prohibition director, Sunday at Winona Lake, it became known today. Haynes will address the worldwide prohibition conference which opens at Winona Saturday. Jt is understood that various law enforcement ;(jSnicies. ministerial associations and other organizations of a similar character have written to Haynes inf Morgan’s behalf, and will urge his retention to Haynes in person at Winona. Morgan to Attend Morgan said today that he will attend the Winona meeting. He said he did not know -whether Haynes would visit Indianapolis before returning to Washington. "Director Haynes understands the situation thoroughly/’ he said. "He knows the work we have done here and the way this office has been conducted." Scheme Is Up9et Morgan’s refusal to resign undoubtedly has upset plans of the faction of the Republican party favorable to James E. Watson, United States Senator, to "get" 'Morgan. They apparently went on the theory that he would quit on request, or would accept the situation gracefully, saving his face by taking a transfer to field service. His determination to s:and by his guns and go down fighting came as a surprise to his enemies. With the office of prohibition director falling into the hands of the Watson faction, the, last of the Federal appointees of Harry S. New. postmaster-general, formerly United States Senator, will have passed out of office. Homer Elliott, United States district attorney, will quit Sept. 1. This will leave every important Federal position at the disposal of Watson. AMBULANCE IN CRASH Police Learn of Collision With Gravel Truck at Corner.
