Bn United Press CHICAGO, April 21. —Until several days of clear, warm weather afford opportunity for closer and more dependable examination of fields in the Southwest to determine extent of damage done by the floods, the wheat trade is expected to do little selling except on bulges. With Liverpool about as expected opening quotations on the Chicago Board of Trade were \{c to ®4c higher than yesterday’s close. Some local traders are disposed to sell May and buy July on the belief that May will work down to the July level unless there is an increased call for red winter wheat for export. There are quite a few local operators bullish on corn on the belief that there will be smaller deliveries of cash corn than has been expected for some time. Light receipts and unfavorable weather for farm work ar efactors for higher prices, but bulges are hard to maintain because of the enormous stocks of old corn in store here. Opening prices wore %o higher than the previous close. The long delayed seeding of oats has brought out some buying on the breaks, but the trade is so light that advances are hard to hold. Prices opened % higher than Wednesday's close. Provisions opened higher. Chicago Grain Table WHEAT— —Aprll ’ l rrev „ ’ High. Low.

STREET SEES STRONG DISPLAY, NOT REACTION Losses Insignificant When Compared With Gains—Oils Spurt Up and Motors Become More Firm.

By Elmer C. Walzcr United Press Financial Editor NEW YORK. April 21.— Stocks made a remarkably strong showing Wednesday at just about the time when the Street had been looking for a reaction. Nearly all groups, including the oils, moved forward and gains in some instances ran to 10 points. Some losses were noted, hut they were in the minority and of smaller proportions than the heavy gains. Dealings ran over the two million mark. General Motors spurted above its previous high and inspired confidence in the motor shares, which firmed up early, hut lost some of (heir gains before the close. Mack, particularly, being under pressure, closing with a loss of two points. Hudson's earning statement for the first quarter, showing net of? 2.52 a share, compared with $2.06 in the 1926 period, also had a stimulating effect. Hudson reached anew peak for the year, hut ended they day

I6G DEAD. FLOOD AND STORM TOLL • (Continued From Pace 1) cars, and 2,500 more tents were being loaded at the same point. Soldiers worked all night on the loading. The most dangerous threat today aside from the disease menace, was probability that lowlands of Kansas City, Mo., will be inundated by *hc rising Missouri River. Valuable property borders the river bank in Kansas City. The Kansas City (Kan.) side of the river has already been flooded. Fight Against Disease Medical forces moved today to check a contagious disease epidemic which is adding to suffering of refugees in camps at Parkin and Wynne, Ark. Although measles, whooping cough and mumps are the only contagion reported, the comparatively mild diseases are aggravated by lack of sanitation, cold and rain which drenches the camp. It is feared more serious contagion will break out. It i.s estimated one-fourth of the 2.000 refugees concentrated in tfle two camps are ill. Illinois River Ip Water of the Illinois River was creeping slowly over Bcardstown today. The anticipated flood, the first along the Illinois, began last night, when Conib’s levee gave way. The entire lowland area had been evacuated, however. The flood added a thousand homeless to the rapidly increasing total of destitute. Additional rains over the upper Mississippi Valley, principally in Arkansas, brought promise of still greater casualties and damagp. , The highest river stage since 1903 was predicted for St. Louis as tributaries to the north continued to swell. New breaks in levees below St. Louis meanwhile were opening the way for water to sweep over more of the valley. Two Towns Flooded Clarenden, Ark., and New Madrid, Mo., were under more than five feet of water today from the latest breaks in the Mississippi River levee. Levy, Ark., was inundated by collapse of the Arkansas Rivetdike near Little Rock. Seven inches 01 rain fell at Little Rock. Forrest City, Ark., was the center of relief work. Six thousand refugees were concentrated there. The Red Cross estimated that 20,000 were homeless in Arkansas alone. With the Missouri River at the highest stage it has reached in ten years, city engineers of Kansas City, Mo., were ready to start operation of two large flood pumps in the event of an overflow. Torrential rains „ that swelled tributary streams have caused the Missouri to rise two feet within twenty-four hours last night, and the stage was near twenty-five feet today.

with a loss of % point from the previous close. Figure Good Despite a decline in car loadings from the previous week, due to a reduction in coal loadings, the figure was well above last year and this brought a resumption In the advance in carrier issues. Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific moved into new high ground as did Texas & Pacific, while severhl other representative issues such as New York Central made substantial gains. Sonic soiling came into the steel shares following publication of the weekly reviews which stated tliat business in this branch had shown the usual seasonal decline. Structural buying, however, is continuing steady. It was realized that a decline in steel production was to he . expected at this time, hence the bears only were able to use the steel reviews as ammunition temporarily and no effect was felt in any department but the steel shares. Cotton prices firmed up, substantially while wheat sagged. Flood Danger Weather continued unfavorable for crops, and in the case of cotton, danger of severe breaks in levees along the Mississippi, which would interfere with the new crop planting, aided the market. Curb stocks were buoyant, led upward by a sensational gain in American Light and Traction, which closed the day with an advance of 18 points. Buying was the result of announcement of the decision to split up the stock for a 50 per cent stock melon. Bond prices ruled dull except in a few volatile issues. Italian loans featured. Liira soared above 5 cents to feature foreign exchange. GILLIOM SELECTS AIDS Moll and Kane to Represent State in Dearth Pay Case. Former Marion Superior Court Judge T. .T.
