RAILROAD LIST PROMINENT ON STOCK MARKET Seasoned Issues Firm, Speulatives Spurt Ahead Under Demand.

Average Stock Prices

Average of twenty Industrials Wednesday was 170.22, up .04. Average of twenty rails was 137.41, up .23. Average of forty bonds was 97.10, off .11. By United Press NEW YORK, June 9.—Railroad stocks featured early stock market trading today with the more speculative shares of this group spurting ahead in active demand, while seasoned dividend issues maintained a firm tone. Oils were again favored, while industrials held steady to firm and motors showed a better tone with General Motors coming within Vz point of its high record. Trading was active. Car loadings in the week ended May 28, showed a decrease of 54,389 from last year. But the total was above 1,000,000 for the eighth time this year and scored a gain of 9,594 over the preceding week, due largely to increased shipments of coal and miscellaneous freight. Lehigh Remarkable This indication that railroad traffic and general business were recovering from the hampering influences of the bituminous strike, excessive rainfalls and unseasonable weather, furthered buying movement in the main body of stocks which maintained a buoyant tone in early dealings. Lehigh Valley continued its remarkable rise, mounting to new high ground at 136, up 3 from Wednesday’s close. Buybanking interests to strengthen their ing was attributed to a scramble by position in the road. Industrial leaders displayed a ‘ confident tone aroynd the best levels of the week. “Pros” Lose Quiet confidence characterized the behavior of the market around noon. Professional attempts to extended heaviness of individual issues to the general list v/ere circumvented by the steadiness of backbone stocks. Call money renewals were arranged at 414 per cent, but funds were obtainable outside at 4 per cent. Buying of investment character was reported in Consolidated Gas, which advanced 114 to 104%. Continued strength in General Motors and Chrysler encouraged bullish activities in other automobile shares. Special attention converged on Hudson, which gained 2 points to 83%.

In the Sugar Market

(By Thomson & MoKinnon) NEW YORK, June 9.—Pressure to sell has relaxed in sugar futures, but the market is still erratic. One day the foreign news is discouraging, the next It may give promise of better condition. And the varying views of buyers and sellers of Cubas continue to keep prices unsettled. The steady movement of refined is one of the most hopeful signs. I think that before long we will be experiencing a more stable market for futures at higher levels.

In the Cotton Market

(By Thomson & McKinnon) NEW YORK. June 9.—To stand up after two strong attacks and close at the top as cotton did Wednesday, deserves some word of praise. I grant it. I am st4U on the list as a doubting ThomHS, however. Show me some bad weather or the prospects of it and I will say "buy.” Let’s call it a nice trading market and say both sides are wrong when they overdo it.

WHEAT TRADING SLOW AWAITING NEWS Pit Looks for Government Report, Watches State Legislature Action. Bu United Press CHICAGO, June 9.—Trading ,in wheat on the Chicago Board of Trade today is expected to be of a rather hesitant character, due to the Government report and pending legislation at Springfield. Expectations are that winter wheat will show 550,000,000 bushels, compared with the May estimate of 594,000,000 bushels. Last year's harvest was 627,000,000 bushels. Opening quotations were *c to Tic lower than yesterday's close. Liverpool came l 3 ic lower, which was about as expected in view of the decline here yesterday. Grain traders believe that should the Kessinger bill pass the Illinois Legislature shortly, prices will have a sharp break. Summerlike weather over the com belt has caused a bearish feeling among local professionals, and they are taking advantage of the bulges to sell, while on breaks the corn disappears. Prices opened %c to 7 c lower than the previous close. While there may be a temporary recossion with outside buying less aggressive and pit opposition to bulges stronger, the belief exists that ultimately corn prices are to work materially higher. No change in the oat situation, and this grain needs individual incentive to advance prices. Quotations opened %c lower than the close on Wednesday. Provisions opened unchanged.

Buffalo Berry Pie Plot Laid Against Coolidge Bu United Press RAPID CITY, S. D., June 9.—The smartest cooks of the Black Hills are plotting and planning to make President Coolidge a “buffalo berry pie addict” during his stay in the region this summer. Buffalo berries, it was explained, are a small, red fruit about the size of a pin cherry. The delicacy is possessed of a peculiar tartness which blends tantilizingly when baked into pie. So enticing is the flavor of the buffalo berry, according to local tradition, that the pie soon produces in the individual sampling it a desire for more buffalo berries, comparable to the craving of an habitual inebriate for strong drink. To a Black Hills family the annual buffalo berry picking expedition is an annual event, considered as regular and necessary as Fourth- of July or Christmas. Late in the summer and early fall picnickers scour the ravines and protected creek banks intent on “laying in” a supply of berries for the year. No more flattering tribute can be paid a guest at a Black Hills home than to produce a buffalo berry pie as the climax of a meal.

HIRE FIRM FOR LINCOLN DRIVE $1,265,000 Sought for Memorial in Spencer. ; Announcement of the employment of the firm of Hendricks, Marks & Lundy, of New York, to raise $1,265,000 to erect the memorial to Nancy Hanks Lincoln, in Spencer County, was made at a dinner of the Indiana Lincoln Union at the Claypool Wednesday evening. “This firm is very successful In raising funds and has never failed,”, said Arthur Hall of Ft. Wayne, a member of the executive committee. "Will Hays and myself have just had experience in a similar matter. This firm succeeded in raising the fifteen millions for the Presbyterian Church to be used for retired ministers. This is a day of specialists. Later Lundy, a member of the firm, outlined in brief the plan for organizing the State to solicit contributions. George Ade was introduced by Mrs. Ann Studcbakcr Carlisle of South Bend, union president, as master of ceremonies. .“We have but to ask ourselves the one question of whether Lincoln, if he were alive, would wish us to erect this memorial to his mother. There can be but one answer,” said Ade. Governor Jackson urged that citizens enter this movement without thought of self-seeking. Richard Lieber, of the conservation commission, outlined the plans as drawn for the memorial in Spencer County. Mrs. Carlisle outlined the organization plans and asked for the cooperation of all organizations. • WRIT PLEA FOR DALE PLANNED Habeas Corpus Proceedings Appear Likely! That habeas corpus proceedings might be instituted'’ should Editor George Dale, Muncie, be sent to State farm for contempt and his pardon plea refused by Governor Jackson was indicated by Mrs. Dale, who presented the pardon petition at the Governor's office Wednesday. Jackson said he would refer the petition to trustees of Indiana State farm. This action would be based on error in judgment which sentences Dale to “ninety days in the Delaware County jail.” This sentence was passed by Judge Clarence W. Dearth of the Delaware Circuit Court in holding the editor in contempt. Later it was approved by the Indiana Supreme Court and the case refused by the United States Supreme Court on appeal. Error would be based on allegation that the ninety-day sentence should have been served at the State farm and such designation made in passing judgment. Petition for pardon was signed by Mrs. Dale and Prosecutor Joseph Davis of Delaware County, who sets out that truth of charges for which Dale was held in contempt was brought out at the Dearth impeachment trial and that the editor already has suffered enough. % The mandate from United States Supreme Court which must reach Supreme Court here before Dale is ordered to the State Farm will be held up several days because clerks at Washington are too busy to get it out, a dispatch to The Times said. Attorney Tom Miller, Muncie, made arrangements to appear before the chief executive at 2:30 p. m. Monday with a delegation of ten Muncie citizens to plead for Dale.

LOWEST PRICES FOR HODS SINCE DECEMBER, '24* 32 Per Cent Cheaper Than Year Ago, Government Report Shows. Bn Times Snrriat WASHINGTON, June 9,-Hoj prices now are lowest since December, 1924, and 32 per cent lower than a year ago, announces the Bureau of Agricultural Economics, United States Department of Agriculture. The decline is reflected to some extent in wholesale prices of cured pork products, and should be followed by lower retail prices, says the bureau. Price reductions in the livestock and wholesale meat markets are attributed to increased supplies of pork in the domestic market, the result of increased slaughter and a sharp curtailment in the export movement. Pork production under Federal inspection has increased 61,000,000 pounds since Jun. 1 this year compared with a year ago, and exports have declined more than 118,000,000 pounds. Imports during the same period have increased over 6,000.000 pounds. This represents a total increase of 2 1 i per cent in domestic supplies over the same period last year. Wholesale prices of light hams and dry salt backs at New York are — around 20 per cent less than a yea* ago, and bacon and picnic in the same market show a decline of 14 to 17 per cent. Heavy hams in the Chicago wholesale market are down 13 to 17 pev cent, sac backs 15 per cent, and picnic and fancy bacon 21 per cent. Pastor Given Degree The Rev. George William pastor of the Irvington Presbyterian Church, was given a doctor of divinity degree today at centennial commencement exercises at Hanover Dr. Allison was graduate'! from Hanover in 1910, and is one of the youngest men awarded a doctor of divinity degree at Hanover.
