CORN PRICE FALLS YESTERDAY'S FINISH

CHICAGO, June. 7. Although unusual activity In the com trade continued today, strength of prices was far less pronounced than in the previous session. Indeed after an early bulge due to general commission buying and to relative lightness of offerings, the market receded io well under yesterdaya finish, influenced by-a general feeling that yesterday's sensational advance was enough for the time belnz. Besides oredictions were for

warmtr weather and therefore better, field conditions for the growing crop.j Initial Drlcpg which ranged from Uci

off to l4c advance with July at $1.53 to $1.5 and Sept. at $1.44 to $1.45Va. were followed by moderate gains all around and then a decided setback. Large clearances and decreasing stocks tended to lift wheat values. The market was also visibly affected by changes In the price of corn. After opening to 3c higher, wheat scored material further upturns and then underwent something of a reaction. Oats were governed chiefly by the action of corn. Prices changes, though were narrow. 1 Provisions showed a little firmness as a result of scattered buying on the part of commission houses.

COMMERCIAL CLUB

WORKS OH PLAN TO SUPPORT CHARITIES

President Lontz of the Commercial

club said today that no arrangement,

has yet been made for the club to raise the funds necessary to meet the needs of the Social Service Bureau, of which John Melpolder is secretary. "This question Is being considered by the public welfare committee of

Walter Chambers, district chairman, called the convention to order at 1 o'clock. ' Fedderman had the solid support of Franklin's delegation of fourteen. Union county's 4, and a few from Hancock It appeared that a majority of the Shelby delegation were for Fedderman. ' Strong as Gibraltar. , Party workers from Shelby and Hancock seemed to be antagonistic to Gray, but the former , representative was powerful as Gibraltar with the

solid support of the following counties: Fayette 10, Rush 13. Henry 18. Besides this he had the assurances of support of the big majorities of Wayne and a sprinkling of Shelby and Hancock counties. , , The announcement, of Bertsch that he would let his name go before the convention gave rise to a report that a plan was on foot for the nomination of Henry U. Johnson of Richmond, permanent chairman of . the convention, who was to deliver the keynote speech. He told friends that he would not accept the nomination. The. Fedderman supporters charged Gray and his "Big Brother" George with circulating reports about the district referring to Fedderman as a German and declaring it was a mistake to "send a Dutchman to Congress.' Fedderm an's delegates were so against the Gray brothers that they declared they never would support Finly H. Gray. Gray's workers cheerfully predicted at an early hour that Gray would be nominated by acclamation.

the club, the chairman of which is Lee B. Nusbaum, to see whether a practical plan can be worked out,' Lontz said. , . " ;, When .the question was first considered by the directors of the club' several objected to such an arrangement being made unless the club was to be fully, represented on the directorate of. the Bureau, so that the club would" have complete knowledge concerning the expenditures of the bureau. ' Some club directors also insisted, that the secretary of the bureau be subordinated to the secretary of the4 Commercial club. -
