Give Way After
Early Increase

Decrease of 1,729.000 Busli
k els in Visible Supply Fac

By CHARLES J. LEYDEN,
Voiverral Senlee Staff Correspondent.
Chicago, May 5.—Wheat traveled an Ir
regular trail today to higher level*.
Strength at Winnipeg was an early in
fluence in the local pit. but prices grad
ually gave way, particularly at midday
when local* sold on the disappointing de
crease of the United States visible for
the week. Commission house* absorbed
offerings and a bulge featured the final
minute* r* shorts covered.
Wheat closed unchanged to He higher;
corn was He lower to Hr higher; oat*
v as Hr lower to He higher; and rye
ruled He to Hc lower.
The decrease of 10.414,000 bushels In
the Canadian visible supply of Avheat wa*
an influence in the late rally. Foreign
political new* was encouraging to many
in the trade as well as the sanction by
the federal reserve board of the credit
facilities of $.'.,000,000 arranged for Ger
many by a group of eastern bankers.
Ck>rn acted fairly well considering the
lack of trade and the Irregularity In the
cash situation. The decrease of 1.729,000
bushel* in the visible supply for the week
was a factor in the late firmness. » De
spite the apparent lack of demand for
spot corn, supplies are not accumulating.
Home reports said that premiums in west
ern markets were gradually strengthen
ing.
Oats met with Improved support in the
closing hour and rallied to an irregular
f.nlsh.
Rye failed to become attracted by the
more cheerftU foreign outlook. This
grain lacks speculative interest. A little
commission house selling in the way of
liquidation took the edge off the market.
Provisions were easy under scattered ;
commission house selling. Lard was 6 c
lower and ribs were 2 He down.
Pit Note*.
May wheat showed relatively more
firmness than the late months. Whiie
the decrease in the visible waa not es
pecially big. the changes showed th|it
'here is plenty of wheat heading for
eastern ports, all of which Is either sold
to the domestic or foreign trade, no,
doubt. There Is a belief spreading in
grain circles that the outcome of the
Dawes report will lead to much greateri
lean* to Europe, and that the effect will
be stimulating on domestic as well as
world grain values.
flea ranee* of wheat from the head of
Die lakes since the opening of navigation
have been in excess of 20.000 bushels.
To many this looks ii significant and re
flect* the idea thut export sales have
probably been on a larger scale than the
daily reports Indicated. Cables from the
United Kingdom for some time have in
sisted that the continent particularly waa
a much more active buyer of cash wheat.
With the Winnipeg market closed to
day, a keynote of the immediate export
developments was thus not to be had.
Weather conditions over the American
and Canadian northwest were regarded as
fair, generally, although in our own
spring country there wore complaint* of
a lack of moisture in some sections.
The statistical information relative to
wheat shows that the surplus grain of
the world ia moving rapidly into con
sumptive channel*. The world shipments
for the Aveek totaled close to 20,000,000
buahel*. thus accounting for the Increase
of slightly over 4,000,000 bushel* on
ocean supply. Cash wheat wa* In fairly
good demand in domestic markets at
steady premiums. The primary move
ment of wheat wa* less than a year a^o,
and It promises to continue so for the
balance of the crop year. Decreases in
the visible supply are more rapid than
at this time a >ear ago. all of which is
taken to mean that price* are right in
asmuch a* supplies are greater.

Stocks Close at
Higher Levels;
Money Abundant
biterest Confined Principally
to Market Leaders—Bears
Stage Attack on
Oils.
By RICHARD SPII.LANE.
Universal Service Financial Editor.
New York, May 6.—Stocks closed
higher today, although trading continued
on a small scale. What interest occurred
was confined principally to the market
leaders. Money was In abundant supply
at 3 Va per cent, which Influenced opera
tions for the rise. Bears attacked the
oils early In the afternoon on the April
gasoline figures which showed an Increase
of 20,000,000 gallons last month over
March. Gasoline stocks, however, gener
ally register a gain In the month of
March because of the generally unfavor
able weather.
Studebaker. Baldwin, American Loco
motive, Allied Chemical and the tobaccos
were higher at times. Buying of the lat
ter la attributed to tobacco magnates.
Steel sold above 99 and Davison Chemical
took on strength in the closing dealings.
International Mercantile Marine remained
strong. Various are the rumors concern
ing the stocks’ strength. One is that
the company proposes to sell Its Ameri
can lines because of the unprofitable
operations due lo prohibition. Divorce of
the American lines, it is thought, would
mean a saving to the company. Strength
of fitudobaker was attributed to »h e
operations of a prominent automobile
magnate.
Wall street heard again that Henry
Ford was negotiating for the purchase
of the St. Paul railway and the Mon
tana Power company. The St. Paul is
one ef the longest railroads in the coun
try with a mileage of a little over 10,000
miles. The rumor, which originated in
Montana, went on to say that President
Byram of the St. Paul and President John
D. Kyan of the Montana Power company
would confer in New York on May 24
with the Ford interests. Talk had It
that Mr. Byram was hurrying back from
China and Mr. Kyan from Europe. The
street, however, did not take the story
seriously.
The Montana company is one of the
biggest power companies in the United
States and supplies power to the Ana
conda Copper company, and about 000
miles of the St. Paul railway. Specula
tion as to what Ford would do with the
power company was discussed in various
quarters. The view was expressed that
the automobile king may be planning a
huge central power system covering the
northern part of the country, particu
larly the northwest, connecting plants on
the Missouri and Ohio rivers with power
plants In West Virginia and perhaps
with Muscle Shoals. As to the St. Paul,
it would afford an outlet to the Pacific
coast in case he intended to push the
sale of Ford cars In European countries.
The 8t. Paul covers territory taking in
Chicago. Milwaukee. St. Paul, Minneapo
lis. Sioux Falls, Butte, Spokane Seattle,
Tacoma and other Important points.
Wall street contended, however, that
the thing Is possible. The Ford com
pany's latest balance sheet disclosed cash
running Into the millions. Perhaps Ford
thinks he can make r success of the St..
Paul as he did with his D. T. Ac I. road.
The St. Paul Is In good physical condition,
the management having Improved the
property since 1918, and the amounts
spent in this connection equal some of
the biggest roads in the east and a ma
jority of the western lines. The company
must meet a $25,000,000 maturity in 1925.
F’resident Byram, however, stated some
time ago that arrangements had been
made with bankers to take care of this.
Foreign exchange and wheat were quiet.
Cotton was slightly lower.

stricken, pimply skin. Don't let it
happen to you when there is sure,
positive relief—Mercircx!
Do you want proof? W*have it!
When' we were testing Mercirex
in our own State, we challenged
eminent physicians to produce the
worst cases of eczema, pimples,
etc., they could find. Some had
ones eaine in—of three weeks’
to twenty-seven years’ standing.
Mercirex relieved them all. Cleared
skins considered hopeless!
Do not confuse Mercirex with
the usual, uncertain, dark, greasy
surface ointment. Mercirex pene
trates to the true skin where the
trouble lies. It vanishes, leaving
no embarrassing trace. Put it on
and go your way. It docs not ad
vertise your trouble.
Mercirex is not u patent medicine.
It is a scientific professional prod
uct of entirely new composition,
tested, approved and now pre
scribed by many physicians, it is
tho safe, positive, pleasant way out
of every local skin trouble. Its
delicate flesh tint has a delightful
faint fragrance. To use Mercirex
is a pleasure.
Sold with the strongest of al!

money back' We leave it to you.
If Mercirex doesn't clear your skin,
it. posts you exactly nothing For
sale at nil drug stores only 75
cents. Write for free book on tbe
care of the skin. The L. D. Caulk
