POOR SUPPORT SENDS WHEAT MARKET DOWN Liquidation of Long Lines Partly Responsible for Late Break. Bv Unllrd Press CHICAGO, May 7.—Heavy selling of wheat by commission houses during the latter half of the session on the Board of Trade drove prices sharply lower toda after the early morning had seen good advances made. Indifferent cables, a lull in the export business and favorable crop news checked buying, while shorts appeared to be out of the market. The weakness at Winnipeg was a factor. Corn and oats sold off with wheat. At the close wheat was I*4 to 2% cents lower, corn was % cent lower to Is cent higher, and oats was H cent lower to ’4 cent higher. Provisions were about steady. Liverpool failed to hold its gains, but closed steady, unchanged to V* •cent higher. Buenos Aires remained firm during the morning. Trading was rather quiet during the morning and featureless. Corn prices were unchanged. Receipts were 10 cars. Com held its advances and at mid-session was around 1 cent up The rains over the belt are delaying the planting. Corn is moving east in large volume, while receipts have been very light the last few days. Prices were % to 1 cent higher. Receipts were 59 cars. Oats scored fractional advances early and held most of the gains at mid-morning. The cash demand continues very good. More than 60,000 bushels were shipped by lake to a Canadian port this morning. Cash prices were Vi cent higher Receipts were 41 cars. Chicago Grain Table —May 7 WHEAT— Open. High. Law.

Checkmate Students Out-Smart Cop in Defining Law on Hitch-Hiking.

Elyria, 0., May 7.—two young Oberlin college boys standing on a curbstone here hailing motorists for a ride back to Oberlin were arrested by a policeman and brought to headquarters. “You can’t hitch rides in Elyria,” said the sergeant, “it’s against the law.” “What law?” inquired the students. “This here law, right here,” said the sergeant taking a volume from the shelf. “It says right here you can’t stand in any road in this town and hitch rides. You fellers is in a fix.” The elder student gently took the legal volume from the officer’s hand. He thumbed it carefully, found the right page, and said: “And I read here, officer, another section of the ordinance which defines the roadway as that part of the road which l.’es between the two curbs. We were standing on the curb; therefore we were not in the road. Sorry, old thing, but it’s the law.” The students marched back to the curb and hitched a ride to Oberlin.

In the Stock Market

(By Thomson & McKinnon) NEW YORK, May 7.—Around this level seemingly the stock market is in harmony with current business at least more so than for some time past. Business as it progresses will command close scrutiny for a line on earnings of the second quarter as well as prospects of the future. That activity is increasing even if only slightly perceptible is generally admitted. Signs of its acceleration will be watched for fully. Much of the bad news is now behind us, such as first quarter earnings. Optimism over second quarter returns has been tempered. The commercial picture is being viewed just as it is. Financially we are sound. Our business structure, if views of various authorities may be accepted, is reasonably good. The weak spots seem to be confined to the commodity and employment situations, but these will be remedied in due time. About the worst that can be said concerning business is that it is slack, but with chances more in favor of improvement than the contrary. Not since last autumn has the stock market been so inclined to stick to actual conditions as at present. Earnings and definite prospects thereof in our opinion, will be the market’s appraisal basis of security values for some little time. Building Permits Will Cain, garage, 424 West Forty-first, S2OO.

With Onion? Bu United Press NEW YORK. May 7.—A plant that eats Hamburger and other forms of meat was attracting a great deal of attention in a Brooklyn department store, where it was on display today. It is called a Darlingtonia, or snake-headed plant, and looks something like a Jack-in-the-pulpit. It was intended by nature to gobble up flies and other unsuspecting insects which alight on it. Providing the fly supply is inadequate, however, the store advises that a bit of raw hamburger or particles of raw beef will give the Darlingtonia that satisfied feeling.

STOCK MARKET SALES SLOWER AS LIST GAINS

Westinghouse New Leader on Heavy Buying: Steel Shares Weaken.

Average Stock Prices

Average of thirty industrials for Tuesday was 268.81. up 9.13. Average of twenty rails was 143 03. up 2 87. Average of twenty utilities was 98.41. up 4.21. Average of forty bonds was 94.91, up .06. Bu United Press NEW YORK, May 7.—The stock market moved irregularly today with trading pace further curtailed. United States Steel relinquished leadership, but its weakness prevented any show of enthusiasm for the strength in Westinghouse, its successor. The latter rose 54 points to 1784. Manhattan Electrical Supply sold today for the first time in a week, opening at 25, off 28% points from the previous close, April 30, or a loss of more than 50 per cent. For days the stock had no market. A few bids were entered as low as a dollar a share, but they were not honored by the specialist. Several blocks sold at the 25 level. Call money renewed at 3 per cent and was easy, lending as low as 24 per cent on the outside. This helped steady the list. Eastman Kodak was a feature in the specials. It reached 248 %, up TVs. Radio picked up in activity and heavy trading was done in Electric Power and Light. Tickers around noon were abreast of the market, printing sales on inactive issues that ordinarily are held until after the active sales clear. In addition to the strength in Radio and Westinghouse Electric, which was induced by action of the Radio -toekholders in voting additional stock to permit Westinghouse and General Electric taking over Radio’s manufacturing facilities firmness was noted in Loew’s, American Can, General American Tank, Radio-Keith and several other issues. Among the weak spots, in addition to Manhattan Electrical Supply were Canada Dry Ginger Ale, which made anew low at 594, off 1%, and Mack Trucks at 70, off 34, and also anew 1930 low. Rails were firmer, featured by a rise of 4 points to 212 by Chesapeake & Ohio. Other Van Sweringen issues, hit badly in the recent break, also were in demand. Southern Railway, on the other hand, sold off a point. Coppers were firmer on the belief that lower prices for the metal would bring in buying demand. Oils were about steady.
