WALZER I nited I'rpsi Financial Editor NEW YORK, July 23.—Bearish professionals were administered a severe trimming in the stock market today after they had forced further rubsfantlal recessions in tire leaders shortly after the opening. Considerable weakness developed in many recent leaders like General Motors International Telephone and other leaders at the opening as the result of a evere bear attack. However. these professionals were soon" forced to cover by the development of outstanding strength in United States Steel and other recent leaders of the advance. ‘ With the genera! list in a temporary oversold condition, violent recoveries took place in General Motors and other issues which had borne the brunt of the early selling and the whole market developed buoyancy before noon. In the late dealings price move- • merits were more mixed, but the j general list continued to display ap j extremely confident lone. Public Utility and many of the carrier shares developed individual strength and trading in these issues largely monopolized dealings in the late afternoon Standard Gas and Electric rose to the highest levels j in its history and Consolidated Gas ; and Utilities Power and Light were ttrong Rails were featured by violent trading at rising prices in Allegheny j Corporation. New York Central. Pennsylvania and Mistsouri-Kansas-Tcxas were strong and active. Com- ! munication issues were featured by . strength in American Telephone and Telegraph and Western Union. General Motors held its early advance, hold'ng around the 70 level, while Chrysler reflected the excellent first-quarter earnings, which were published overnight. Other motors were firm on short covering. Railroad equipment shares came to the fore in the late trading, with Fullman in demand around its best level: of the year.

WHEAT RALLIES; BUT FAILS TO REGAIN LOSSES Foreign Markets Weaken Prices: Corn Up, Oats Unchanged. 111/ United Prrns CHICAGO, July 23.—Wheat regained a good part of its midday losses, suffered when uneasiness at Northwestern markets ran the trade into stop-loss orders, but finished sharply lower than the prices set in the day’s opening bulge. Reports on spring wheat were no less bullish and the Canadian crop was estimated more than 300,000,000 bushels less than last year. Parts of the corn belt needed rain and the coarse grain futures profited when 3vheat was sold and corn purchased Oats were full and unchanged. At the close wheat was 2's to 2't cents lower, corn was up 1 s to l l * cents and oats were unchanged to Is cent lower. Provisions lost harply as hogs declined. Wheat was off to a firm start on the Board of Trade, and moved as much as 1\ cents higher during the first minutes of the session. Liverpool, however, suffered from a lightening of speculative interest, and as prices dropped off abroad, the grain met with heavy realizing here. No rains of importance fell on either side of the international line, and the spring wheat crop advices told of further deterioration. Cash prices were unchanged to 1 j cent lower. Receipts were 216 cars. Corn benefited from more unfavorable crop ncsvs and held most of its opening advances throughout the morning. Northern Indiana complained of a moisture shortage, and other points in the Belt reported irregular stands. Receipts decreased sharply. Cash prices were ’ 2 cent ■> higher. Receipts were seventy-two cars. Oats had fractional gains early, but suffered from lack of interest, as well as from the unsettled trading in wheat. Cash prices were unchanged. Receipts were thirty-seven cars. Chicago Grain Table Julv 23 - WHEAT— frev. High. Lot. 12:00. close.

In the Stock Market

i Bv Thomson k McKinnon NEW YORK. July 23.—Nothing in the way of news has developed overnight to account for the reversal in the upward trend of the general market. The suggestion that an advance of the British rediscount rate was imminent appears premature in view of thC recovery in Sterling. The j inability of the oil industry to cope ; with steadily increasing production and the pessimistic attitude toward the motor industry, although to our mind wholly unjustifiable, probably j 1 played the most conspicuous part in I 1 checking enthusiasm. Fundamental- 1 iy the situation remains unchanged. : In addition to an extremely bright outlook for business generally and : indications that the credit strain | has passed the current reactions has probably corrected a somewhat | overbought condition, So far as we have been able to learn, influential! opinion has not been in the least j 1 modified toward the security market.; and for these reasons we feci that the better grade of securities arc a purchase on such reactions as we j experienced Mondav. 1 STANDARD MAY BUY Oil Company Meeting on Purchase Is Called. ; „ tr.l /V, , CHICAGO.

DESIGNS FRAME FOR PHOTOGRAPHING PIGS University of Wisconsin Solves Picture Problem. MADISON. Wis.. July 3.—When pigs refuse to have their pictures taken, they can be set in position like a group of ten pins on a bowling alley. A contrivance designed by Gus Bohstedt, animal husbandman of the University of Wisconsin, provides a large frame of wood and galvanized iron with individual pens. The camera is focused on the frame and the hogs driven into their pens. When everything is ready, the pens are lifted into the air and the camera snapped before the animals move, eliminating undesirable poses and oft-lost patience. New York Curb Opening —July 23Open.

These cattle were bound for farms in Nebraska. lowa, Illinois and a score of other states, where they will be fed the new corn crop After from forty-five days to six months of intensive, scientific feeding they will be sold for consumption in eastern cities.
