B / T’nitrd prrn* NEW YORK. July 3.—Stocks moved irregularly today in the lightest trading in two years. Most of the changes were small, but a few issues met pressure. The hardest hit were Air Reduction, which declined more than 6 points and then rallied more than a point, and Gillette, which made anew low for the year at 64. off 3%. Losses of a point or more were noted in May Department Stores, Cerro de Pasco. Columbian Carbon, Du Pont. Timken. Worthington Pump and Proctor & Gamble. Toward noon Steel common was making new lows for the day, breaking through 158. Other leading industrials were holding near the previous close. The best behaved group was the amusement section where gains of fractions to more than a point were made by Warner Brothers Pictures, Loew’s. Fox Film A and Radio-Keith-Orpheum. Oils made little change and utilities sagged only fractionally. Some of the tobacco shares were firm, es;v*cially Tobacco Products A. which firmed up fractionally to anew high for the year at 12’ i. Call money renewed at 2% per cent despite demand on banks for funds for over the holiday.

In the Stock Market

ißv Thomson k McKinnon > ( NEW YORK. July 3.—The amazing decrease of over one billion dollars during the month of June, in the New York Stock Exchange borrowings vividly pictures the extent of recent security liquidation. Placing total loans under a figure not witnessed since August. 1927. we can not arrive at any other conclusion. but that stocks are finding more permanent lodgement. Unlike commodities, consumption of which is stimulated as prices decline, securities do not decrease in numbers They merely change ownership as prices are reduced. Considerable encouragement is derived from the suggestion of certain steel authorities that it is their belief that, that industry is scraping bottom. With the drop in brokers’ loans clearly revealing outright buying of securities, which is the highest type, and with substantial cash balances in brokers’ hands, and with pretty good evidence of a large short interest undisturbed, we have an unusual foundation of buying power in the stock market.

GRAIN FUTURES SELL DOWN ON WEAKREPORTS Lack of Buying and Rains Hold Bulls in Check; Corn Off. Bu United Press CHICAGO, July 3.—A dull wheat market held around steady with the initial decline on the Board of Trade today and closed lower. News was sparse and the approaching holidays discouraged buying or selling. Weakness at Winnipeg and Liverpool, with rains in Canada and Australia and some Russian selling, were the chief factors. Corn held minor fractional losses and oats was firmer after the early low prices set in July. At the close wheat was l'i to l"i cents lower; corn was ' i to "i cent lower, and oats was % to % cent lower. Provisions were around steady. Liverpool continued to ease during the late trading, but managed to close !i to f ;s cent higher. Exports Wednesday were placed at 1,000,000 bushels, mainly Manitobas, but including a goodly share of American haid winter. Nothing was reported loday. Cash prices were cent lower. Receipts were eight cars. Corn was off fractionally in sympathy with wheat and was unevenly lower at mid-session, with July showing resistance. There was considerable selling in small lots by commission houses. Receipts continued light and country offerings were practically nil. Cash demand was light as is usual before a holiday. Trade was about at a standstill after the opnening activity. Cash prices were unchanged. Receipts were 73 cars. Further liquidation in July oats sent that delivery to another new low and carried the deferred months down about % cent. Prices hung around those levels most of the morning. July sold at 33 :ents. Cash prices were unchanged. Receipts were 24 cars. Chicago Grain Table —July 3 Bu United Press WHEAT— Prev. Open. High. Low. Close, close.

BALKAN STATES ARE ACTING AS FRANCE WISHES Behavior Strengthens Hope of Continued Peace, Observers Think. BY STEWART BROWN United Press Staff Correspondent PARIS, July 3.—Trend of political affairs in the Balkans is causing much satisfaction in official quarters here. Every recent political development in the strategically located Balkan states has had the approval of France, and each has aided in strengthening this country's position, and the possibilities of European peace, in the opinion of political observers. Visit of Voja Marinkovitch, foreign minister of Jugo-Slavia, to Bucharest is being watched here with the greatest interest, since it indicates the little alliance is functioning just as France wishes. It is interpreted as a sign of a warm friendship between Jugo-Slavia and Rumania. The conference which just has closed in Czechoslovakia, between foreign ministers of Rumania. Jugoslavia and Czechoslovakia also was believed to have led to greater harmony than ever among the three nations, particularly because of the threat of restoring the Hapsburgs in Hungary, which none of these countries appears to favor. Doings and sayings of King Carol II of Rumania since his assumption of the throne have been received here with entire satisfaction. Such friendliness in the Balkans, among the respective countries and towards France, is regarded here as sufficient assurance against any possible attempts by Germany to prod Austria Hungary and Bulgaria into demanding changes in terms of the peace treaties. It also will serve to combat Italy’s friendly overtures toward Poland, Bulgaria and Austria, and her tutelage of the new kingdom of Albania. TECHNICAL R. 0. T. C. INSTRUCTOR NAMED Major Oscar A.

HOOVER ACTION ON NOMINATION IS UNEXPLAINED Failure to Name Sponsors of Luhring Arouses Senate Comment. BY LAWRENCE SULLIVAN Timrs Staff CorrMpondfnt WASHINGTON, July 3.—President Hoover’s unexplained departure from one of his own major policies in connection with the appointment of former Congressman Oscar Ray Luhrig to the District of Columbia supreme court has given rise to much comment in political circles here. A threatened inquiry into reasons for the departure was abandoned by the senate judiciary committee only because of the end-of-the-session legislative jam created by the fight over the veterans’ pension bill. Many senators, however, still are seeking privately to learn why the White House did not make public the names of Luhring’s indorsers. Practice Was followed Soon after President Hoover took office, the White House announced formally that all sponsors of candidates for the federal judiciary' would be named when the nomination went to the senate. * The practice was followed in every case until Judge John J. Parker was nominated for the supreme court three months ago. Failure of the White House to announce Parker's sponsors was one of the factors which contributed to his rejection. t In the case dr Luhring, the sponsors’ names were not even privately communicated to the judiciary committee. Nor has the White House disclosed whether Luhring’s case was an exception to the rule or an action marking abandonment of the Hoover innovation. Explanation Offered One explanation was offered informally by a member of the judiciary committee that Senators Watson and Robinson split on the appointment, and rather than send the nomination up with the approval of but one senator, the President decided to publish none of the indorsers. Another explanation, however, is that Luhring v r as the personal choice of Attorney-General William D. Mitchell, and that neither senator was consulted. It is understood, nevertheless, that Senator Watson gave his tacit approval to the nomination and that his influence prevented the projected committee inquiry. After serving as congressman from the Evansville district, Luhring was appointed assistant attorney-gen-eral, in charge of the criminal division, in 1925. He quickly developed a close friendship with Attor-ney-General Mitchell, w'ho then was solicitor-general. His record in the department was without distinction. DIGNIFIED 'BIG BILL’ SCENTS BRITISH PLOT Giant Cracker Rocks Chicago Mayor as Council Bans Fireworks. Bu United Press CHICAGO, July 3.—Mayor William Hale Thompson today sat pondering over the city council’s newest ordinance providing that it shall be illegal to discharge firecrackers within the city limits. If signed it would be effective for July 4. In solemn session it was passed, the last act of a busy session of the council. Solemnly, then, the mayor brought down his gavel for adjournment. A moment later, the council chamber was rocked as a giant firecracker, coming apparently from nowhere, exploded near the mayor's chair. The mayor, lifted from his chair by the detonation, cast a look of disgust upon his city dads, decided they were just boys after all, and walked out. CITES RELIGION’S NEED Ritualism Necessary, Says Pastor at Butler Summer School. Declaring the need for ritualism, in churches and citing the demand of people for a less impoverished form of worship, the Rev. Linn A.
