Farm operations and growing crops generally displayed a considerably better trend during the last week, according to a weekly weather made today by the United States department of agriculture. This was chiefly due to more moderate and fairly warm temperatures which prevailed during the week. Although several fields continued too wet for work, corn planting and plowing were accomplished in all sections of the state on the lighter and higher soils. Wheat and oats continued to show very good progress in the drained and upland fields. Some heading of wheat was reported in the extreme southern section. Rye is headed in the central parts, and reported to be in a very good condition. AIR PATRONAGE GAINS American Airways Reports Increase in Passenger Traffic. Ey Times Special CHICAGO.

ATTACK WATER FIRM'S FIGURES Hufsmith Pounds at Sum Fixed by Pirnie as Valuation. Testimony of Malcolm Pirnie, consulting engineer for the Indianapolis Water Company, that the utility property has a valuation exceeding $28,000,000, was attacked today by George W. Hufsmith, deputy attorney-general. Hufsmith continued his cross-examination in federal court before Albert Ward, special master in chancery. Pirnie testified the “going value’’ or good will appraisal of the company was worth $2,500,000, based on a computation he made in November. 1932. This figure, Pirnie declared, is what it would cost to build up the business to its present status. He stated that he had included such items as training personnel, attaching business, cost of providing plants to serve present and potential customers and other tangible and intangible elements in his computation. In the matter of structural steel costs, Hufsmith brought out that Pirnie had estimated the cost of structural steel for reconstruction operations at 6 cents a pound, but other Indianapolis buildings are getting the same make of steel for about half the price.

PROFIT-TAKING SALES FORCE WHEAT DOWN Corn. Oats and Rye Follow Major Grain: Trade Is Light. BY HAROLD E. RAINVILLE United Pres* Staff Correspondent CHICAGO. May 25.—Wheat prices reacted a major fraction as the Board of Trade opened today, dropping ' s cent to 7 * cent under profittaking. Stocks were higher, but showed irregularity while foreign j cables were very weak. Profit-tak- | ing selling was experienced on the better outlook for the spring wheat crop. Trading was light early. The other grains followed wheat, corn dip l . ; - | g % cent to cent. Oats was unchanged to ■"* cent lower, rye a cent lower and barley unchanged to % ce/ t higher. Provisions were steady. There was very little export demand overnight. Sentiment remains bullish in anticipation of actual inflation before long. Liverpool was lower than due, off U cent to 7 s cent at mid-afternoon. Warm and dry weather over most of the corn belt has turned sentiment bearish. The market has obtained a degree of strngth from wheat. Oats is doing little in a narrow market. The pit is being neglected, owing to the activity in wheat and corn. Chicago Primary Receipts May 24Wheat 694.000 Corn 1.022.000 Oats 388,000 Chicago Futures Range —May 25 WHEAT— Prev. High.

STEELS HEAD BRANDS MOVE * RUMORJALSE Vast Holdings in Gary to Continue Operations. Irwin Says. ! By United Prr * GARY. Ind.. May 25—W. A Irwin. president of the United States j Steel Corporation, in a telegram to i the editor of the Gary Post Tribune today branded as "absurd" and "entirely without foundation” recent widespread rumors that the "Gary steel mills were to be moved to Pittsburgh because their foundaj tions were sinking.” j Concerning the corporations’ future plans for the operation of its vast holdings in Gary, Irwin referred to a letter written by Myron jC. Taylor, former president, in which Taylor said: “It seems to us quite unnecessary to state that, we have no thought of limiting our activities in Gary but ! on the contrary it is quite likely I that when demand lor our products | resumes in sufficient volume in that 1 territory to justify it. that our activities at Gary might well be increased. Investment Is Great "Our investment in the Gary district is very great and has been | made at the careful consideration, thorough study and full confidence that it is an advantageous and economic location for the production j of steel.” G. G. Thorpe, president Illinois I Steel Cos.. Chicago, which operates the principal Gary plant, in reply to a direct question by the publisher of the Post Tribune, said: “We never have had any trouble with the foundations of the Gary mills.” Taylor's letter was written when steel production throughout the na- | tion was at a low ebb. The Gary j mills, were operating on an average j of ten per cent of their rated capacity. Operations Moved Up Bearing out the former presidents’ statements, the Gary plants ! now are operating at slightly above 50 per cent of capacity and are at j the head of the parade back to : normal times. The Gary works of the Illinois | Steel Cos., back-bone of the array of mills which stretch for seven miles along the Lake Michigan shore line, now is producing iron and steel at approximately 50 per cent of capacity. The tin mills of the American Sheet and Tin Plate Cos., are operating at slightly more than their 100 per cent rated capacity. The Gary sheet mills are operating at 57 per cent, with orders the highest in two years. The American Bridge plant in Gary has just started production on the largest structural steel contract j ever awarded in the history of the ! steel corporation, the San Francisco j Bay Bridge, a 124.000-ton order. SPRING GRAIN CROPS RETARDED OVER WORLD Drought, Wind Damage Reported, Causing Loss in Many Sections. Btft Science Service WASHINGTON, May 25.—Sowing of spring wheat and other grains in. the Volga and western Siberian regions of Soviet Russia has slackened, recent cable advices to the U. S. department of agriculture indicate. The situation in Ukraine and North Caucasus, though still backward, is reported as improving somewhat. Drought in March and April have damaged winter grain crops in Germany, though May rains have been beneficial. Poland also reports harm done by drought and cold. The International Institute of Agriculture at Rome has cabled that the wheat ar<%s in northern Africa are not up to normal. Hot winds and rust have damaged the crop in Algeria, while in Tunis acreage :s short and the condition of the grain rather mediocre. NEW YORK RW SUGAR FUTURES —Mav 24 Hish. Low. Closo.
