Bu United Press NEW YORK. July 28. —Justification for optimism over the business situation shown by the stock market during the last six weeks was furnished by the appearance overnight of brilliant earnings statements from U. S. Steel and General Motors. These gratifying increases in earnings brought both stocks to the center of the speculative stage in early dealings. The fact that steel scored no improvement over the previous close was probably due to krofessional selling based on the lought there might be some disappointment over the failure of the directors to authorize more than regular dividends. Buoyant Tone However, it had been generally expected in well-informed quarters that any steps regarding a stock distribution in Steel would be postponed until October. Consequently the declaration of only the usual common payment cause no liquidation of importance. Industrial leaders maintained a buoyant tone around noon and demand spread to rails on an active scale, reflecting the prosperous conditions set forth in earnings statements for June and for the past six months by the principal roads. Baltimore & Ohio, whose June net operating income showed an extraordinary gain of close to $2,000,000, ■moved up a point to 96%. Shows Increase Norfolk & Western, which showed a balance of, $10.99 a share on 1,380,343 shares in the first six months, compared with $7.03 a share on 1,347,943 shares in the first half of 1925, gained % to 153%. Southern Railway, whose balance for common stock in the first half of the year .was $6.62 a share against $5.70 in the first six months of 1925 gained % to 117%.

Bn United Press CHICAGO. July 28.—Grain prices followed an erratic trend ttr a generally lower rtose than that of twen-ty-four hours ago on the Chicago Board of Trade today. Wheat closed uneven, after fluctuating within a range of about 4 cents. It sold off early on the Canadian weather news then rallied on heavy buying, which had no foundation in news developments, and covering by shorts, July being particularly strong as many are in no position to make deliveries on Saturday. This soon met with heavy selling and prices declined. July was % up at the close, but the other deliveries were % off. The Second day of rain and cool weather over lowa had its effect in the corn pit, which sold off early and then remained firm at the lower levels. Wheat' even drew some support from this pit. The Government weather report had little effect on prices.' which were %@l%c lower than Tuesday. Crop news on oats was pessimistic. Thrashing is in progress in some sections, and in many others it is too late for rain. However, prices could hardly rise in the face of a falling market. July was up t%c, but the other positions were tic off. Provisions closed lower on the drop in hog values.

Johnson and Young testified that Parker and Armstrong read the injunction at the meeting and told union members they "xvere 21 years old, and knew what they wanted and when to get It" On cross-examination of the men. Baker succeeded in bringing out that Johnson and Young also were employed by the company to gather information on the strike. The men testified they weVe known as "special investigators for the company on the strike situation." Johnson testified that Parker declared the temporary restraining order was illegal on its face. Bachelder objected and moved the anwer be stricken from the records. “It is' a scandalous move to prejudice the court," he paid. “I think it is scandalous," Judge Baltzell said. "Your man said it.” He overruled the motion. Testimony of Police Chief Claude F. Johnson, that he had talked to Armstrong and Parker before May 30 and that they had told him there was to be a strike, was ruled from the records. Other witnesses were employes or former employes of the car company who had joined the union and attended meetings. All testified that Parker and Armstrong were present at the meeting and corroborated the testimony of Johnson and Young about the meeting. Prisoners Testify Oscar Southern and Russell Bain, former employes now held in the Marion County jail without bond on contempt of court charges for alleged acts of violence, testified they attended the meeting and Parkenmnd Armstrong called the union members “as red-blooded men. who will stick together until the strike is won.” Testmony showed more employes joined the union and an average of more than 400 attended the daily strike meetings. The court questioned both Johnson and Young as to the whereabouts of Harry Boggs, temporary president of the local street car men's union. They said they had not seen him for several weeks. It Is understood the Government is seeking him. A citation against him for contempt of court has been issued. In all but two cases defense objections to testimony of Government witnesses were denied. All but one of Ward's objections to cross examination testimony were sustained.

A throng of people collected at the three courtroom entrances. The jury called for the trial was excused. Following the trial of Parker and Armstrong, Edgar Day, 2241 Kenwood Ave., is schedu.ed to face the court on contempt charges. Day is alleged to have violated the Injunction when a meeting was held at his home at which several union members are charged with laying plans for violence and vandalism.

"I had always supposed they were friends," Green replied. "I did not know there was any animosity between them. I know there was none on Senator McKinley’s part because he always had great admiration for Mr. Insull. Green said McKinley was chairman of the hoard of the Illinois Power and Light Company, but held no common stock in the company and took no active part in operation of it. Green said there was "no question" that McKinley had made large contributions to public institutions in 1923. Financed Himself McKinley financed his $350,000 campaign himself. said. It was McKinley's policy not to receive contributions in the senatorial race, Geen said. Green said lie did not personally receive any contributions from any person other than McKinley. “Os course, contributions may have been made to other persons,” the witness declared. “But I don’t think more than $5,000 could have been raised that way—l had understood that Mrs. Medill McCormick, wife of the former Senator, was to contribute some advertising to the foreign language newspapers. That would have cost about $8,000.” Denies Interview
Gt'een denied ■ that he had ever given an interview to newspapers that McKinley had spent a million or even half a million dollars. The witness said lohn Wesley Hill of Lincoln Memorial University had been making world court speeches for McKinley in Illinois during the campaign, but denied that McKinley had made any large contribution to the institution. "The only contribution I know of to that university was made in 1923. when $5,000 of McKinley's Utility Company was sold and donated to the institution," said Green. “Did he receive any pay for his speeches?" Expenses Paid “Not that I know of. His expenses were paid by me—that is the hiring of halls for him and his traveling expenses. He said he was glad to make speeches for Senator McKinley." J'Were there any World Court speakers hired by you during the campaign?” “Well, I believe Frank Dixon and Air. Hill both made many speeches In the State. But they tipoke on other subjects beside the World Court.” Dixon was identified hy Gren as former adjutant general of the State. Democrats already are seizing upon developments to strike at the Republican majority of the Senate. A Democratic Senator informed United Press today if Smith wins in November inter-party senatorial race the fact that Smith spent $253,000 in his primary campaign will immediate!- be raised In the Senate.
