Aug. 16.—Buying operations on the stock exr-hange gained breadth and vigor today, with the oil group being added to the rapidly growing list of favorites. The advance in the main body of stocks showed signs of halting at intervals but bullish enthusiasm was quickly reassured by a shifting of Interest to the petroleum shares, which gave their greatest demonstration in many months. Under the leadership of Standard Oil of New Jersey, which ran up more than 4 points, petroleum issues appeared on the tape in long strings at advancing prices. Teas Corporation, Standard Oil of New York, Atlantic Refining, the PanAmerican issues, Simms Petroleum and other leading issues of this class advanced aggressively, several of them touching new high records. So great was the trading in the oils, that they accounted for a major part of the afternoon’s turnover and eclipsed the morning leaders. American Can, General Electric and Consolidated Gas, which enlivened the early trading, were neglected in the rush for the oils in the afternoon, but maintained early gains. United States Steel, which has furnished its share of strong leadership for the advance, was also neglected in the afternoon and sagged close to its previous closing level. Utilities, with the exception of Consolidated Gas and American and Foreign Power, were not bought much in the late trading. Anaconda, Westinghouse Electric Westinghouse Air Brake and other leaders, were well supported in the late trading despite the shifting of interest to the oils. Near the close General Electric hit 400, up 9 points. It closed at 398 I *, up IV*. American Telephone and Telegraph netted lti points to close at 283 %. Special issues like National Cash Register, National Dairy Products, Columbia Graphophone and Paramount were in active demand. The industrial average ("preliminary estimate) gained $7.18 per share to $361.69, anew high record. The railroad average rose $2.83 to $178.46 within a fraction of its record. Sales for the session totaled 4,796,030 shares, compared with 3,413,430 shares yesterday.

NO PRISONERS DEDICATION OF JAIUSSPOiLED Chief Humiliated; Alleged Burglar Gets Out of 'Es-cape-Proof’ Cell. By United Press CHICAGO, Aug. 17.—Dedication of Palatine’s new $42,000 city hall and jail was spoiled this week by the escape of a lone prisoner, who had been caught and confined especially for the occasion. Palatine is a suburb west of here. The dedication has been put off now until next week and by that time Police Chief George Henning hopes to have his old prisoner back behind the bars or catch anew one. Chief Henning felt that his new “escape proof’’ jail would make a much better showing on opening day if at least one of its cells was occupied. So out into the town went George and the other member of the Palatine police force and brought in a prisoner. His name was A. L. Fialka. He was 43 years old and he came from Chicago. Henning charged him with burglary. Came the dawn of dedication daf and Fialka was missing. The nonmalleable, “escape proof” bars of his cell window were wrecked. The dedication was postponed. Today Fialka is under arrest in Chicago on charges of burglary and jail breaking, but Chief Henning of Palatine hasn’t decided whether he wants Fialka sent back. “It may be better to get anew prisoner,” the chief said.

awards which has been in evidence during most of this year, due to the decrease in speculative building. The index figure for job activities during July was found to be 218 as compared with 231 in June and 238 in July last year. Despite this recent reduction in activities as compared with the records of similar months in past years the construction performance for the first seven months of 1929 approximately equaled that of the same period in 1928. This is explained by the activities on uncompleted projects for which contracts were awarded last year. The heavy volume of carried over commitments began to be cleared up in May this year and current activities are proceeding at the new levels dictated by the lower volume of contract awards.

In the Cotton Market

(By Thomson & McKinnon) NEW YORK. Aug. 16.—Liverpool furnished a strong market this morning and also bought here. They were influenced by a bullish letter from an American statistical and crop reporting agency. Later in the morning a news item from Washington quoted the Department of Agriculture as saying the total American supplies this vear might not be more than 200,000 or 300.000 bales more than last year. Hedge selling diminished coincident with this news and at noon the market was quiet 10 to 15 points higher than last night. The map was clear all over and Texas authorities are a unit in reporting deterioration due to drought. A technical upward turn might easily follow' I and its permanency would depend on I how rapid crop deterioration becomes. NEW ORLEANS —Aug. 16— High. Low. Close. i January 18.36 18.21 18.2 !

In the Stock Market

(By Thomson & McKinnon) NEW YORK. Aug. 16. Practically no department in the entire list of securities was neglected in the general rush of buying which followed the publication of the loan decrease and although many of the advances were not wholly retained while others, served only to provide an opportunity for those who had been w’aiting for a favorable profit-taking spot, the day’s action can be said to have been largely on the constructive side. More prominent than others in this strength were the oils which have been rapidly gaining friends of late through their stubborn resistance during periods of weakness elsewhere and where the cut in price of Penna crude toj day failed to check the demand. A coni’ slderable degree of confidence was also Injected by the optimistic remarks of a prominent Chicago financier, and these securities in which he is supposed to be largely interested figured conspiciously in the general strength. Inasmuch as the greatest strength is shown in the recognized investment issues it would appear that this particular demand which has been so insistent is not yet fully satisfied, as it reappears in renewed volume on all depressoins, and we therefore suggest following this same procedure in the matter of new' commitments, using such strength as there may develop to dispose of speculative ho’dings elsewhere in the list.

WHEAT CLIMBS FOUR CENTS ON CANADA SLUMP Lowest Yield in Years Is Reported in Northwest; Corn Also Up. BY. L. D. ROMINE JR.. United Pres* Staff Correspondent CHICAGO, Aug. 16. Wheat soared more that 4 cents higher on all futures after a strong opening this morning. Canadian yield returns, the most sensational in their weakness in years, and heavy fiour sales brought on the bullish senti- ! ment which resulted in heavy buyling by all interests. Canadian wheat in Alberta, Saskatchewan and ! Manitoba was lowest in its yield ui ! many years, with an average of from 6 to 23 bushels to the acre. Corn reacted with the great strength shown in the wheat pit and closed as high as 2 % cents above Thursday’s final figures. Oats advanced sharply with other grains. Wheat Is Higher At the close, wheat was 414 to 4% cents higher, corn was up 1 to 2/8 cents and oats were % to 1% cents higher. Strength in the Liverpool cables, along with the reports of very poor yields in Canadian winter wheat, gave the market here impetus on the buying side and prices were up, May as much as 3 cents, at 10 o'clock. Harvest on the other side of the international line is most discouraging on the crop yield, according to all reports, and thrashing only from six to twenty-three bushels to the acre. A crop estimator advised of a poorer crop between Moose Jaw and Wakaw than he ever had seen in that part of the country, worse than the crop during the rust year of 1916. The United States depatment of agriculture report on world wheat showed figures indicating the 19291930 supply around 3,900,000,000 bushels, a reduction of 380,000,000 from last year. Receipts today at Chicago were 141 cars. Cash wheat was steady. Com Goes Up Com went higher today on the continued dry weather over the belt. Estimators in the field hold forth some very poor reports over the southwestern part of the belt. Receipts today were very small, with only 41 cars arriving. Cash prices were 6 to lc lower. Car receipts in oats were smaller today, the peak having been reached, according to receivers, with only 199 cars in. Prices on the market were stronger today and during the morning were well above th last close. Cash prices on oats were better at V* to % cent higher. Chicago Grain Table —Aug. 16— WHEAT— Prev. Open.
