In the Stock Market
(B~ Thomson k McKinnon) NEW YORK. June 4 —Explaining the comparative smallness in the drop in loans reported for the month of May is a hard matter and we can offer no solution for the puzzle. The logical assumption was for a drop probably three times as great as actually reported. Perhaps of more importance, however are the unofficial intimations that the present discount rate is to remain or will probably be reduced within a few months. With so much refinancing just ahead of us one would have to be extremely optimistic to expect the relatively low call rate to remain so that as a matter of fact there will be no surprise should a moderate advance take place. The promptness with which the grain markets responded to encouragement from Washington and the removal in this response of a source of financial worrv% not to mention the numerous other constructive developments that have recently been brought to our attention leads me to saver the purchase of the better class of securities during periods of weakness.

SENATE WHETS AX FOR NAVY SECRETARY Resentment Is Aroused Over Adams’ Criticism of August Body. g i Si-ripp*-// nirard Xnctpnptr Alliance WASHINGTON. June 4.—President Hoover s friends are urging him to take disciplinary action of some kind against Charles Francis Adams, secretary of nasw, as a result of his speech last week criticising the senate. There has been so much resentment in the senate over the speech that Adams is thought to have ended his usefulness in the department so far as any matter is concerned that requires approval of congress His speech recalls a famous political faux pas made by his predecessor in office, Curtis D. Wilbur, soon after his appointment, to the cabinet. Wilbur set out to make speeches during the Coolidge-La FolletteDavis campaign, but. hastily was recalled to Washington when the text of one address he proposed to give reached Washington. The address concerned the Negro problem and waved the bloody shirtin a way that horrified political Washington. ARKANSAS STATESMAN.

'FOREIGN NEWS SHOOTS GRAIN PRICES HIGHER Corn Is Up Slightly: Oats Unchanged to Lower. Bii 1 sited Pn CHTCAGO, June 4.—Foreign news helped to make a firm wheat market today when cables reported Liverpool following American gaim better than expected. Argentine wheat sections complained of drought. Corn and oats were uneven in the early trading. At tie opening wheat was % rent to % c?nt. higher: corn was % cent lower to % cent higher, and oats were unchanged to % cent lower. Provisions were slightly lower. Technically, the position of wheat is regarded as weakened by Monday's sharp advance and is expected ;to be difficult to maintain unless | larger export business and unfavor- | able weather in the southwest bcrome strengthening factors. Traders | looked for market to await actual i developments at Washington before I making another move upward on ! the government aid feature. Receipts of corn are showing considerable increase, fulfilling the predictions of a larger movement as farmers completed planting and working against advances, except when wheat shows a strong upward trend. Weather over the bell has been mostly cool and cloudy. Shorts in oats are thought to have covered sufficiently in Monday's trading, and that futures are now dependent on action in other pits.

At the Walker Theater
The Walker theater has inaugurated its summer policy with a 100 per cent talkie program, featuring, 'Broadway Melody” for the entire week. There might, be occassional differences as to the merits and demerits of allj talkie of all-vaudeville shows, but the expression of merit will enter into all conclusions about “Broadway Melody." With this picture the audience goes along from start to finish oblivious of ail else, save the grandeur and lavish display which go to make “Broadway Melody” easily the premier of sound pictures. You don't quickly forget, musical strains, the passions, love scenes and romances that are woven so ingeniously into this mighty production of the silver screen.. Those who have strolled Broadway or visited any of its many haunts can live that thtill all over again any night, this week at the Walker. If Charles King, better known as Eddie Kern, fails to enthuse with his "Broadway Melody" song, Anita Page and Bessie Love certainly will win you with their youthful caprices. For back-stage vernacular and dressing room ctiquet, “Broadway Melody" will teach you in full measure. What an actor should say when he pnters an actress' dressing room will be spoken in stage language plain enough for you to understand. There is more of the de luxe backslagc phase than anything else about i “Broadway Melody.” The habi: of the ■ stage folk are dialogued in enrh charming simplicity that -.on are Pd to believe that, your lot is fliat of artist or producer. Pictoria!)y. it Appears to be almost supermechanical to have filmed this picture. Equally true is the synchronization of tlm voices and sounds. The Walker management is sparing no expense to present the best productions to its patrons. Short talking subjects arc added fcati nrcs. along with world news attractions ' and spec ;.l organ eeetlons by Miss Mary : Singleton, the IValker organist, j Visitors at the Walker last night were ! three Hollywood film stars, Ernest Torrence. John Miljan and Harry Beaumont.

CHICAGO RADIO SHOW BRINGS OUT NEW SETS Great Progress Is Made in Receiver Design by Manufacturers. BY -CARL FORT,. Timrs StafT Corrrpondrnt CHICAGO, June 4.—The radio industry in all its branches is having an intensely active week in Chicago, with the Radio Manufacturers’ Association trade show in progress, in the three Michigan avenue hotels—the Stevens, Blackstonr and Congress. During the week it is estimated that at least 30.000 radio wholesalers, jobbers and dealers will inspect the exhibits in the ballrooms and display halls of these hotels. The show is featured this year by exhibitions of radio sets which are making their debuts. Among these first time receivers are those manufactured by the Balkite. Radio Company, Associated Radio Manufacturers, Gulbransen Piano Company, Silver-Marshall. Story <fc Clark Piano Company. Victory Talking Machine Company and the United producers Corporation. The latter company also is introducing anew condenser type speaker, named Kylectron.
Progrss in Receivers A preliminary examination of the receivers on display in the three hotels reveals the fact. that, much progress has been made in receiver design and in general appearance of the cabinets housing the receivers. Selector tuning is a feature that has made its appearance on many sets. Remote control, by which a set. may be tuned from any' room the house, is to be found on the Kistcr sets and it is reported that many other manufacturers soon will bring out remote control sets. One of the busy displays was that of the Majestic factories. Thousands of delegates were viewing new Majestic models, which will be known as models 91 and 92. Those models, with many new features, will be offered at tlie same prices as former Majestic sets. The dynamic speakers have lost their basso-profundo effects which distinguished them a year ago. And now rover the full range of notes. Audio systems have hern reined. Many sets being shown employing screen grid tubes in from one so three stages. Improvement in Cabinets The most conspicuous improvement in radio is in the cabinet, design. There is a distinct- trend toward tlie console type of cabinet, and in those consoles tlie manufacturers have employed real artistry, showing the influence of feminine appreciation for fine furniture radio sets. Among Indianapolis dealers a*tending the show are: A. I. Clifford. R. P Oblinger, W. W. Mathews, George Stalker. Edward Gass, Frank Argast, Edward Boyd. H. J. Arens. Lee Clifford. Ted Browne, Paul Jackson. Carroll Kahn L. T. Glidden. Pop Kruse. Karl Fredericks, Cecil Flynn and F. J. Connell. BLAMES STATE COAL'S BAD STANDING ON WAR Reputation Undeserved Now.
