firm. Railroads continued in active demand following predictions that the remainder of the year would see an improvement in car loadings over last year. Coppers improved slightly, while oils took on a better tone. In the industrial group Colorado Fuel ran up nearly a point and good gains were scored by Allied Chemical, Baldwin, Bethlehem Steel, Union Carbide and Radio Corporation, the latter rising a full point to 56. Good Average Monday’s advance in standard stocks carried Dow-Jones industrial averages to new high ground on the recovery from the June reaction at 172.65 and compared with the record high of 172.?6 on May 31 last. Even more stimulating to bullish sentiment was the rise in Dow-Jones bond averages to 97.12, against a record high of 97.78 established prior to the attack of indigestion experienced by the bond market mid-year. This evidence that the bond market was righting itself and the demand for unseasoned dividend shares was unimpaired, brought further buying into early dealings. Main Ones Up Price movements around noon suggested that the market leaders were resuming the main advance, with Steel common heading the upswing in the industrial list. Leadership of the highest grade also was afforded in the carrier group. Bouyancy in these stocks indicated investment funds we-e again flowing into seasoned rai's in good volume. In the motor and accessory group, companies having largest treasuries are giving the best market performance. These stocks .are Nash, Hudson, Packard, Chrysler, General Motors and Timken Roller Bearing.

In the Cotton Market

(By Thomson Sc McKinnon! NEV/ YORK, July 12.—New England mills continue to buy contract* and the public is following their lead. In the meanwhile the crop is racing to maturity under conditions as favorable as any I can recall. My contention that the dry goods situation is poor has finally gotten In the papers. The slackness of summer trade Is particularly noticeable. FARMERS MAY RECEIVE MORE FOR 1927 CORN Decreased Acreage, Poor Crop Conditions Indicate Higher Prices. Bu Tinted Press WASHINGTON, July 12.—Farmers may realize higher prices for their corn crops this year, due to decrease acreage and to poor crop conditions, Agriculture Department authorities said today. Corn acreage this year was estimated at 97,638,000 acres, compared with 99,492,000 acres last year. \ The condition of the crop, at 69.9 per cent of normal, was the lowest condition since 1901, and indicated a yield of only 23.3 bushels per acre compared to a five year average of 27.2 bushels per acre. This year yield will be the lowest per acre since 1933. The corn crop is late in nearly every state although rapid improvement is now being shown, officials said. Nebraska for instance reported 8,544,000 acres in corn under cultivation on July 1, representing 95 per cent of last year’s acreage. The State crop itself is 80 per cent of normal, ‘indicating a production of 198,221,000 bushels. Winter wheat during June made a strong recovery and condition on July 1, was reported 75 per cent of normal, indicating a production of 579,416,000 bushels compared to 537,000,000 bushels forecast a month ago. The principal Increases were in Kansas and Nebraska. ' Inasmuch as last year's winter wheat production was 627,000,000 bushels, Agriculture Department otficials foresee the possibility of higher winter wheat 'prices, though the increase may not amount to as much as they anticipated in the late spring. The condition of spring wheat in North Dakota, Minnesota, Montana. and South Dakota was reported above average, and the large increase in acreage in South Dakota resulted in a predicted total country crop of 274,000,000 bushels this year compared to 205.000.000 r.isheb harvested in 1926. This increased production it was said, may offset somewhat the price increases foreseen for winter wneat GUILTY IN DOPE CASE Theodore Bradfield Convicted on Conspiracy Count. Theodore M.

Russian Rivers Full of Swimmers Without Suits

Will Rogers Wrong, Technically Speaking, but Has Right Idea. Bu United Press MOSCOW, July 12.—Will Rogers is wrong in his idea that there isn’t a bathing suit in all Russia. The soviet union enters a dentil of the cowboy-writer’s recent assertion. A casual inspection of the Moscow shops reveals creations which would satisfy any Amreican beach censor. But, a casual inspection of almost any rivqf bank suggests that Will Rogers may have been half right, after all. There are plenty of bathing suits

CROP REPORT BEARISH; ALL GRAINSLOWER Unexepected Tenor of Government News Has Weakening Influence on Prices. Bu United Press CHICAGO, July 12. prices for all grains featured today’s opening as a result of the rather unexpected bearish tone in the Government crop reports issued late yesterday. Wheat prices were 1% to 2%c lower than the previous close; corn was to %c off, and oats were down Vx too lc. Wheat, which declined more than lc yesterday due to weather conditions, and an increased visible supply, went down heavily again today when reports showed much larger winter and spring crop possibilities than given in private reports last week. Figures on the winter yield were 579,000,000 bushels and on spring, 274,000,000 bushels. Weather in the wheat belt continues good, with high temperatures and scattered rains. Liverpool was lower today. Corn prices fell after yesterday’s good advance on bullish weather news, due to the Government report, which although bullish in comparison with last year’s yeild, was bearish to the extent of being greater than the recent private reports. Monday’s report estimated a harvest of 2,274,000,000 bushels. Parts of the belt continued in need of rain today. Despite the lateness of the crop, the Government report on oats was bearish, with an estimate of 1,349,000,000 bushels, considerably above the private report figures. Provisions opened steady.

She charged cruelty

in Russia, but not many are in use. The celebrated dictum regarding soviet bathing habits, offered by the mayor of Beverly Hills, Cal., was based on insufficient investigation when he was in Russia a year ago. He hired a bicycle and wheeled himself up the banks of the Moscow river and tributary streams and hired a row boat to travel downstream. - There Isn’t a stream in all Moscow province which has not been investigated since and Will Rogers was right to this extent. There isn’t a bathing suit at work in all the province. - But there are plenty of bathing suits. There are red ones, yellow ones and green ones. The shops afe full of them and probably will continue to be, for the Moscow bather doesn’t use a bathing suit.

CROPS WITHOUT PROMISE-U. S. Government Report Shows Poor Outlook for Year. WASHINGTON, July 12.—The Agriculture Department announced crop prospects, as a whole, are far from promising this year. The present outlook is for the shortest corn crop in 26 years; for a very short fruit crop; for a material reduction In tobacco production; for about average production of potatoes, wheat, sugar beets, flaxseed and feed grains other com. Large crops of beans, peanuts and sweetpotatoes and a record hay production were predicted. The department said crop prospects are fairly good in the western states, but-very unpromising in the eastern part of the corn belt. The area p anted this season is reduced around 7.000,000 acres less than, or 2 per cent below, the acreage planted at this time last year. Most of the reduction has occurred in the Mississippi flood section. The largest changes were 6,000,000 acres decrease in cot* on, 2,000,000 acres decrease in com and 2,000,000 acre increase in <rheat.

Gifts Lavished on Visitor, Ranging From Pies to Riding Kit. BY PAUL R. MALLON, United Pre* St*lf Correpondent RAPID CITY, S. D., July 12. President Coolidge could start a general merchandise store, a stable, or a cowboy outfitting emporium with gifts he has received since he arrived in the West for his summer vacation. Mail being received here is three times the size of the White House mail in Washington and most of it contains gifts, ranging from beads for Mrg. Coolidge to pies for Mr. Coolidge. In Washington, Mr. Coolidge was able to build up a zoo to sizable proportions by donations animals. Here he has received a baby kangaroo, two lions, a bear, a raccoon, a peacock, three dogs, two cats and a pair of rabbits. Out here fishing tackle, saddles and ten-gallon hats are favorite gifts. The other day the President wanted to offer his personal physician, Major James F. Coupal, a ten-gallon headpiece so he referred him to the hat room at the summer’White House, where he found thirty-five cowboy somberos piled up. They had been sent to him by local citizens. Three pairs of cowboy chaps and a red flannel shirt also have been given him and while he wears them sometimes here, there is speculation among his friends as to the sensation he could cause if he wore them on Pennsylvania Ave. in Washington. Three horses have been placed at his disposal. Everett Sanders, secretary to the President, spends eighteen hours a day writing letters, thanking wellwishers for flies and worms sent to Mr. Coolidge. The President is using flies almost entirely now. He went fishing before dinner last night and again this morning before going to work at the executive offices.
