Average Stock Prices

Average of twmty Industrials Wednesday was 184.30 up .94. Average of twenty rails was 139.88 oft .48. Average of forty bonds was 97.86 up .06. Bu United Press NEW YORK, Aug. 18.—A more cautious attitude toward the stock market was exhibited at the start of trading today, followed immediately by profit-taking and renewed short selling in the early trading. Principal issues began the day, with very narrow price changes from the previous close as the financial community began to look for a secondary reaction, following the sharp recovery from last Friday’s break. Both United States Steel and General Motors were fractionally higher at the opening. Steel was at 137, up 14, on the initial transaction, but later sold off to 136 V*. Motors dropped to 225 M, after opening at 226 >4, up %. Motor shares were depressed fractionally. Chrysler dropped to 56%, losing its overnight gain; Hudson did likewise, while Packard and Studebaker held steady. Yellow Truck waCS off % at 36. Rail shares ruled steady, while oils showed a firm tendency as a result of the latest reduction in the Seminole field. Baldwin declined, as did Allied Chemical and other recent leaders of the rise. Describing the market, the Wall Street Journal’s financial review said: Industrials used in Dow-Jones averages closed at 184.85 Wednesday against a record high of 185.55 Aug. 2. This ability of speculative leaders to recover in less than a week, all but 1 % points, of the ground lost on the recent break was disconcerting to the bear element. Further short covering took place at the opening. In conection with the continued , demand for good divident stocks, buying imparted a strong tone, to the general list, ''‘cel common reached new high round on the recovery, while Bethlehem advanced to the best price, since 1923. Brisk bullish operations, went ahead in special groups like silk shares and shipping stocks.

In the Cotton Market

(By Thomson & McKinnon) NKW YORK. Aug. 18. Spinners watched the market all day Wednesday without doing anything until Just before 3 o'clock when they put in closing orders - which roused quite a scramble ip the last two minutes.

In the Sugar Market

(By Thomson & McKinnon) NEW YORK. Aug. 18.—There is a much more confident tone to the sugar market this morning which seems to have as its basis the more active European demand. Most of this seems to come from the United kingdom where earlier estimates seem to have fallen down. The general opinion is that September liquidation l as been pretty wel accomplished and that no very large amount will be tendered for delivery of Fept' jiber contracts on first notice day which wil be Aug. 26 or thereafter. There is some apprehension as to the effect of withdrawals of a number of steamers for the Cuban trade for use elsewhere and an advance m freight rates Is among the possibilities. The time seems to be approaching when supply and demand conditions will once nore e -!■ lowed to have their sway, which should strengthen the late deliveries.

WHEAT OPENS HIGHER AFTER CLOSING LOW Corn Buyers Hold Different Views of Market as Prices Vary. By United Press CHICAGO. Aug. 18.—Reacting to the‘situation in grain futures a* the close Wednesday, today's early prices were mixed and wheat opened higher than expected today. Weather in the Canadian belt was reported cool with scattered showers. The cash demand in wheat continued to forge steadily ahead despite the trend in futures. The corn element seems to be holding mixed opinions on the market. Bulls are as enthusiastic as ever on the lateness of the crop and cool nights, but these factors have swayed the market so long that they are losing some of their effect. Cash corn premiums continued to gain on futures. News in oats was unchanged, and operators in this grain were inclined to follow the lead of other pits. Provisions opened unchanged.

SHOW PROGRESS IN BEEKEEPING Exhibits at to Compare Old, New Methods. Progress made in beekeeping ih Indiana will be shown by the exhibit at the Indiana State Fair, Sent. 3-10, now being prepared by State Apiary Inspector Charles O. Yost. Comparative methods of the beekeepers of seventy-two years ago and today, educational literature on modem beekeeping and exhibits of paraphernalia and products will be shown. This exhibit of the P ate Conservation Department will occupy a prominent setting in the south wing of the Horticultural and Agricultural Building. It is planned to show how the early beekeeper handled bees in a hollow log, nail keg or section of a barrel. The modern improved methods takes ten times as much honey, of far better quality, from a single colony of bees, Yost said. “Seventy-two years ago the State had many famous bee hunters, who cruised the forests in search of bee trees,” he declared. “Later, when times began to wane, some pioneers hived wild bees in hollow logs, kegs and the like. Wild bees flourished in the great Kankakee marshes and likewise in southwestern Indiana, where one smaU town for a while bore the name of Beehunter. 1 ’ In Yost’s opinion, Indiana bees this year will produce at least 10,000,000 pounds of high grade honey. Normal annual production ranges from 6,000,000 to 8,000,000 pounds. MADISON COUNTY FARM BUREAU HEAD ACCUSED Henry Shuman Taken on False Pretense Charge in Georgia.
