Then, they reported stagnation in general business, but now they describe Increasing activity In steel, dry goods and leather and increased buying of automobiles.

After a slow start among the principal issues, illustrative of which was Steel common’s failure to appear oh the tape for more than thirty minutes after the opening, this class of stocks developed activity at rising prices as the brief session progressed until rjew highs on the movement were established in such leaders as General Electric and Can.

NO IMPORTANT CHANGES Trade Conditions More Stabilized, but No Revival Before August, By Times Special NEW YORK. July 26—Moody’s Investors Service in a review of the week's market says; “While no important fundamental changes have taken place in the financial situation, and general business conditions remain at a standstill, the activity and strength in the security markets seem logical enough. With interest rates continuing low and with the wave of optimism which is being created by the outlook for a successful settlement of the European problem, and with the more constructive prospects in domestic politics, a fax-reach-ing return of the confidence is naturally first reflected in Wall Street. “Trade conditions are ,becoming more stabilized, but the progress in laying foundations for a business revival is not likely to show itself Above the surface until t£ie latter part of August, as there is no great industry which does any heavy buying at the present season.

WHEAT BREAKS IN' -ON HIGHER LEVEL Rise Reflects World’s Acute Shortage, V •* 0 By United Press CHICAGO, July 26.—Grains closed sharply higher on the Board of Trade Saturday, with wheat going into new high ground on the crop. No {jew developments entered into the wheat pit to cause any spirited buying. The price advance merely emphasized the world actne shortage of bread grains and the realization of foreigners that recessions in val_ue:P cannot be expected. Corn sentiment was admttedly bearish, but strength in wheat carried that market to a higher close. Shortage of Canadian growing oats justified the upturn in oats. Provisions closed higher with grains and some foreign inquiry. Chicago Grain Table —July 26 WHEAT— Pre4. Open. High. Log. Close, close.

Business Briefs Forty-one large contracts awarded during the flrat six months of the year have totaled $162,244,304, according to Engineering News-Record. The direct effect of the recent sharp curtailment In production has been. unemployment in labor; the indirect Tdsult, however, will be increasing flrmnese of prices. Exports of tubular product* and fittings. Including all kinds of pipes, pipe fittings and boiler tubes, gained 56 per cent during the first quarter of the year, as compared .with the corresponding period in 1923. according to the United Stajes Chamber of Commerce. S Dun’s review finds improvement both In sentiment and actual business. Increasing activity is especially seen in dry goods and leather. Commercial failures for the week amounted to 399 against 388 in the preceding week and 335 for tha corresponding week last yogi'. \ ,

BURROW QUIZZES SIftIEWITNESS (C'ontimit'd From Pnge‘l) staff of defense lawyers, will not submit the defendants to questioning. The two Flayers have been too calm Rnd indifferent about the entire incident to suit the defense, it |Avas indicated. They have snickered, | joked and grinned at a great deal of ! highly tragic details of the story and the defense fears they might act the same way on the stand and thus heighten the impression of cold--biooded callousness, which has drawn unfavorable comment. I Giggles and Chuckles slightly the older of the pair, and a profound student of philosophy and ornithology, sits cooly in his seat—watching closely each witness that testifies. But to him it is amusing. H® giggles and chuckle* with glee when some witI n©ss_tells how smart and cunhlng ;he was In' evading arrest. He laughs with a sneer when seme witness points out where he made a mistake —a mistake that led to his arrest. lyoeb, more self conscious, allows his eyes to roam over the courtroom. He meets the Iteady gaze of curious | spectators and smiles. He nods to a : few that he chances to know and | recognizes. He is in the limelight and enjoys it. It is almost certain these are the things that Harrow and his staff of assistants fear. There is no jury—only the Judge must decide their fate —and they fear his reaction should he observe them closely on the witness stand. He sees very little of them now as they sit with their attorneys—ms time and attention being devoted to watching and listening closely to Jhe witnesses.

Can’t Deny Act And a further reason the two boys will not testify Is the fact that they have admitted killing Robert Franks. They could not take the stand and deny that. The defense seeks only to prove them Irresponsible for their er'me and they could not testify to that themselves. the State, meantime, is making ra >id. strides toward clinching their C 8 se of murder, Metre than three s< ore witnesses have been examined by State's Attorney Robert E. Crowe, all adding some little bit to his “mountain of evidence” by whioh he hopes to have Leopold and Loeb hanged. Masses, of mail from all parts of the epuntry axe flowing in on Chi# Juctlce Caverly, on the Franks case. Som eof them are in a sympathetic vein but most of them are openly hostile to bojs. One letter, received today and signed “M. S. Painter. Grand Rapids, Mich states “I will give you ?100 if Leopold and Loeb are found guilty of murder in the first degree andsentenced to hang by the neck until deatli takes them.

MORE BAD NEWS FROMTHE FRONT Home-Made Jam Won’t Be Cheaper, Officials Say, By United Presn WASHINGTON July 26.—Hopes for cheaper home-made jam for the great American family during 1924 were killed by officials here today. There is little prospect for reduction in the price of sugar before the end of the summer canning season, now at its height, officials said, explaining that even if President Coolidge reduces tariffs on crude sugar .mports within the next month the new rates cannot become effective until thirty days after the proclamation. Refined sugar is selling at an average of 7.6 cents a pound retail, it was said, and a lower price cannot be exected sooner than two or three months. Tha tariff < ommission now is preparing its report to the President and probably, will transmit ti within a month. It is -expected to recommend a revision downward of about 25 per cent in the tax on imported raw sugar. The present tariff is $1.76 per hundred pounds.

BOULEVARD HELD UP LONG TIME (Continued From Page 1) city. The owners moved out and residents on the north* side of the street (shown on the picture on the left) prepared for a fine boulevard. That was nearly a year ago. Today the city is papering the homes, it purchased, repairing windows, putting in improvements and incidently collecting the rent every month. In fact tenants complain the city is raising the rent because of improvements. It’s anew business for the city. Leases Promised? While the north of Orange St. waits for the boulevard, renters on the other side said they had been promised “long time" leases by the park board. After collecting the first month’s rent thrycity turned over the actual collection to Dunlop & Holtegel, rental agents. Now property owners who paid the city assessments for the boulevard are beginning to count up what all they could' have done with their money at 6 per cent the past year. . Orange St. property owners in this picture ware assessed from $550 to SB4 for the boulevard. Many of them refused to take advantage of the Barrett law paying cash in hope of getting the boulevard soonex In* the meantime the surface <5 Orange St. becomes a sea of mud with every rain. The city answers complaints with tlje statement that the proposed ‘*boulevard'’ haa stopped Improvements. And the south side waits! The same situation prevails all along Pleasant Run. where property owners say they are beginning to believe nothing will be done for them.

Book waiter Promises Action Charles TV. Bookwalter. president of the park board, has assured property owners that delay in obtaining forty-five abstracts upon property between Prospect and Shelby Sts. is , all that is holding up the boulevard construction. The city has sent a ten day ultimatum demanding the abstracts. South side residents, 100 strong, appeared before city council Monday night, demanding relief. The council could not act, but appointed Councilman Thfeodore J. Bernd, chairman of the park copiznittee, to appear before the park board Thursday. At that I:ime, Bernd was assured only the abstracts held up proceedings. Promises Are Denied Guaranteed rental for a certain period to city tenants was denied by R. Walter Jarvis, park superintendent. / “We hare not promised these people anything,” said Jarvis. “We repaired the houses because we didn’t feel we should ask any one to live in them without soma needed repairs.” _ Jarvis said he had appointed park officials to Investigate conditions in these houses and order tenants out if any were found objectionable. Park officials said the city thought it best to rent the houses and derive certain revenue raAher than tear them down. South sidera, however, contend that the houses should be torn down and the land uesd for playgrounds until the city is ready to build the boulevard.

REMY LAUNCHES HIGHWAY PROBE (Continued From Page 1) Nothing will be permitted to interfere with the work and we will get to work on the case immediately.” Claude Worley, Criminal Court investigator. began work on the case today. Most of the day was spent in conference with Lawrence Orr, j State examiner, and with the ac- ! counts board who made the probe" into the commission affairs. He also conferred with Frederick E. Schortemeier, secretary to the Governor. Remy has asked for a formal conference with the accounts board and Governor Branch Monday morning. The information gathered today by Worley will be used as a basis upon which to formulate a plan of proceedure in the probe. The probe comes as a climax to highway commission affairs extending over a period of years. The alleged illegal sale of war material, distributed to the commission by the Federal Good Roads Bureau, was the subject of attack on the commission as early as 1920. Overpayment Charged Recently the State board of accounts madrf public its report alleging mismanagement and extravagance in the equipment division and highway garage. The board retrieved $50,000 overpayments to O. F. Schlensker, auto parts salesman. State examiners returned only Thursday night from Washington where they obtained invoices of war material sent to the commission. These records will be checked against the records of the commission here to determine the manner in which the material was disposed of. • George N. Bartley, chief of the equipment division, resigned shortly before-tbe first report was published. Governor Branch called in several automobile engineers and asked them to recommend an executive who could straighten out affairs at the garage. Harvey G. Shafer, fofmer vice president of NordykeMarmon Company, was recommended. Shafer was asked to return here from the East. He wired Branch he was favorable to the proposition. Branch recommended his appointment by the commission Friday. The commissioners said they were pleased with the recommendation and that when Shafer arrived Aug. 3 they would confer with him. If the conference is satisfactory, he will be appointed, according to John director. Williams and Governor Branch conferred Friday when the comm® sioners were in session. The matte* of a grand jury investigation was suggested. Branch declared. “If there has been a violation of those guilty should be punished. If there has been no violation of law, those \y ho are officially associated with the report are entitled to exoneration.” The commission Fridays ordered an audit of the dealings with Schlensker to determine the details of the alleged $50,000 overpayment. It is believejjf the results of this audit and the report of the accounts board on sale of war material may have a direct effect upon Remy's investigation.-
