Aug. 20.—Stocks ran into increasing irregularity today after another strohg opening and with the exception of strength in a number of hgih grade issues, price movements were confusing. Steel Common, which has headed the list for the past several weeks, ran into considerable profit-taking after touching anew record high in the early trading and fell back to around its previous closing level, while General Electric broke nearly ten points from its early high of 403. On the other hand, persistent strength was shown oy International Telephone and Telegraph, which was taken in large blocks at anew high for the present capitalization. Steel fluctuated nervously after It had been forced down to its previous closing level in the noon trading and other leaders like American Can, Consolidated Gas. General Motors, American Telephone and Warner brothers pictures sold off to small losses. Radio Strong Radio Corporation was a strong spot in the special issues, changing hands in large volume at several points advance. Amusements were less prominent, but oils firmed up after early weakness, with Standard Oil of New Jersey an outstanding feature. These issues, however, met active realizing on the advances. Coppers again wcee quiet and buying operations in Anaconda in the early trading failed to attract any following, although International Nickel developed activity in the late trading. Eastman Kodak was carried forv ard in the fourth hour, running up more than six points to anew high on the movement in belated recognition of the recent offering of additional stock to present holders at $l3O a share. Public utilities met with little faior, although Consolidated Gas and Standard Gas apparently were well taken. Westinghouse was firm.

BOTTOM DROPS OUT OF WHEAT MARKETEARLY Weak Foreign Cables and Visible Forecast Are Reason. Bii Vailed Press CHICAGO, Aug. 20.—The bottom dropped out of wheat this morning and prices went sharply lower in sympathy with weak cables from abroad and visible supply conditions here. Corn dropped off as rains were reported in lowa and cloudy weather over the stricken Nebraska and Kansas territory. Oats were lower fractionally with the other grains. At the opening wheat was 1% to 3% cents lower, corn was off % to 1% cents and oats was down % to % cent. The shortage of wheat in Canada was brought home to the public Monday when the Master Bakers’ Association of the Province of Albert moved to raise the price of bread from 10 to 11 cents a loaf. This move was the earliest forecast of higher prices in wheat foods, according to experts. Liverpool was sharply lower today reflecting the market here, and cheap offers from the Danube country caused further liquidation. The port of Montreal is tied up with cargoes of wheat, and the situation on the lakes for the movement of the grain is said to be serious, since many boats are out of service this year. The trade here Monday was affected by the possibility of another large visible supply figure this week and the 'market showed a nervous inclination throughout the session. The present visible supply, according to reports, is about 90,000,000 bushels larger than at this time last year, and traders are not inclined to go heavily into wheat when such figures are before them.

Bn I nit*d Pr-rns LAFAYETTE. Ind.. Aug. 20. Thorough cleanup measures are necessary to control the European :orn borer and prevent serious losses, G. A. Ficht, Purdue university agricultural experiment station, said today. The intensity of infestation in northeastern Indiana has increased 400 per cent over 1924, with sev-enty-nine new townships reporting; the pest for the first time. This increase, Ficht said, was due to poor cleanup of crop residues, longer period of activity of moths laying eggs and weather favorable to laying of eggs. The state may expect a steady and large increase in borers, said Ficht. ur'iss the recommended practice of disposal of stalks and stubble is generally adopted.
