Corn Sentiment Bearish. Prices! Are Forced Down Good Weather and Slow Cash Demand Hold Buyers in Check-—Wheat Finally Gives Way. By CHARLES J. LEYDEN, fnlvprNal Service Staff Comespondenf. Chicago, May 15.—Sentiment In corn be ing uniformly bearish today. It took but moderate selling to force prices sharply lower. Pleasant weather for crop growth combined with a slow cash demand and a weakened technical condition in the pit to hold buyers In * heck. Wheat gave a good account of itself, hut finally gave way because of the weakness in the yel low cereal. Wheat closed unchanged to Vic lower, corn was %(§)lc off, oats % *4 c down and rye ruled unchanged to I4c up. The wheat pit. encountered good buy ing on the recessions, but outside trade failed to follow the flurries. Increased carlot receipts of cash wheat in the do mestic markets and local sales to store made the May delivery easy relatively. Export sales were mediocre. 250,000 bush els Manitoba# being confirmed by the seaboard. A heavy ton# persisted !n com through out the day. Some of the big shorts have covered of late and weakened the pit conditions. The Belling today was largely professional In character. The movement of corn to primary markets Is not especially large at the moment, but j the trade la of the belief that there Is1 plenty back In the country. Oats ran Into resting order# to buy I through commission houses on the dips, but there was little feature otherwise to! the market. Rye held well. There was a lack of, that northwest selling recently noted, and i buying which Indicated the removal of hedges against export sales sustained prices. Provisions were slightly lower st the Inst. Lard and ribs were unchanged to 2VjC lower. Pit Notes. Rack of the buying of wheat futures apparently was the belief that the com plaints of lack of moisture over south west sections of the belt might lead to damage reports should temperatures rise. Illinois. Nebraska and parts of Kansas have been reporting dry soil. The situa tion to date has not been taken seriously because of the flattering prospects gen erally to date, but many feel tempera tures are worth watching. News from abroad remained distinctly cheerful. One private message from Liverpool said the market by this time would probably be enjoying a real ad vance had not Winnipeg and Chicago fallen into a narrow rut. It was stated that stocks of wheat on the continent were light, and that Franc# and Italy would continue to buy freely, Considor . able damage to the Italian crop In the central provinces and also In Sicily Is claimed owing to drouth and hot winds. Clearances of wheat from the Argentine this week are estimated below last week s shipments, which were considered light. Labor strikes in the southern hemisphere rnav or may not have had something to do with the smaller shipments this week. North American clearances will probably be well maintained. w H The grain trade continues to waten Washington. Rieing opposition Is no ted toward the McNary-Haugen price-fixing bill some representatives lately having attacked the bill viciously. There are ef forts being made by som# J® propose other farm aid bills, and no doubt until something Is done one way or the other the grain trade will remain un settled and speculation hesitant. Dullish theories on wmrld conditions are held in | good faith, but they appear worthless «without speculative support. Storks or wheat at Minneapolis decreased 6«.>,000 . bushels for five days, despite Increased . receipts in that market._ CHICAGO CASH PRICES. By Updike Grain Co.AT- ,al* Art. | Open. I High.

In a recent press dispatch, a Lon don physician stated that the Golden Age of man bids fair to be the glan dular age, when salvation will be taken in tablet form. He said fur ther that the average man believes that his thoughts, actions and feel ings are controlled by his mind. But it is possible to show that his mind is itself under the despotic cway of the ductless giandH, which generate in the system the chemical fluids on which depend health, happiness and morality. Since the scientific discovery of Giandogen It is now a simple matter to take glandular treatment. Glando gen Is a highly contrated glandular .tonic prepared In a convenient tablet form, combining the Important ele ments of the vital glands of healthy young animals with other efficacious Ingredients. It is prepared in two different forms—one for men and one for women. Giandogen is obtainable the Sherman A- McConnell drugstores, 16th and Dodge, lGth and Harney, ltlth and Farnam. 24th and Farnam. A DV kbtiskmknt GAS IN THE STOMACH IS DANGEROUS Recommends Daily Use of Magnesia to Overcome Trouble Caused by Fermenting Food and Acid Indigestion Gas and wind in the stomach accom companied by that full, bloated feeling after eating are almost certain evidence of the presence of excessive hydrochloric Acid in the stomach, creating so-called “acid indigestion.’* Acid stomachs are dangerous because too much acid irritates the delicate lining of the stomach, often leading to gastritis accompanied by# serious stomach ulcers. Food ferments and sours, creating the distressing gas which distends the stom ach and hampers the normal functions of the vital internal organs, often affect ing the heart. It is the worst of folly to neglect such a serious condition or to treat with ordi nary digestive aids which have no neu tralizing effect on the stomach acids. In stead get from any druggist a few ounces of niaurated Magnesia and take a ten spoonful in a quarter glass of water right after eating. This will *drive the gas, wind and bloat right out of the body, sweeten the stomach, neutralize the ex cess acid and prevent its formation and there is no sourness or pain. Hisurated Magnesia <in powder or tablet form never liquid or milk) Is harmless to th* stoma-'h, inexpensive to take and the best form of magnesia for stomach purposes It is used by thousands of people who en joy their meals with no more fear ol indention.

By RICHARD SPIIXANF, Universal Service Financial Editor. New York, May 16.—For some teason the idea prevailed In stock market cir cle* that the Atlantic ('oast Line was going to declare a stock dividend or a large extra cash dividend. At the open ing of the exchange today there was a spirited buying of Atlantic Coast Lines that sent the price up to 123'i. When the news came out that to the regular semi-annual distribution of 3% per cent 'here had been added an extra of 1 per cent, those who had been overly con fident had a chill. Immediately there was an unloading of atook that sent the prue down to 120%, The close was at 121**, or a net loss of 3% for the day. Despite the coast line Incident, the market did very well. Thor* was no show of vigor by either the bear* or bull*. The rail*, a* ha* been their h*blt, did well. A good reason for their strength lately was disclosed In the freight carloading* for the week ending May 3. They were far better than ex pected. Philadelphia & Heading Coal and Iron was again the center of Interest and swung between 47% and 60%, closing at 49%, or at a lose of % for the day. The old standby*. Can, Baldwin, C. F. A T., Davison. Studebaker, U. S. Steel and C. & O., Improved In price. Yellow Cab came forward with a good gain of 2%. But the copper* and the motor* and the rubber* and the sugars and some other* lagged. Information as to the outlook of copper is not optimistic. The oils give sign of improvement. New York Dock, after its on* day In the spotlight, retired with a decline of 2 % points in the common and f» ',4 in the preferred. Fisher Body, on small deal ings, registered a decline of 6 point*. Transcation* aggregated 663.200 share*. Cotton was up and firm throaghout the day and advanced from 32 to 44 point* on the old and from 47 to 66 point* on the new crop. Sugar, which was droopy early in the day. stiffened late and closed at an aver age gain of 10 points over Wednesday's price. Coffee, on the other hand. wa« *oft throughout the day, closing at from 22 to 30 point* off. Foreign exchange, with the exception of francs, was steady. French franca opened at 6.89, dropped to 6.73 and then by support of the cur rency through government channel*, they rallied at 6.84, closing at 6.82. Sterling was steady at 4.36%. or half off from yesterday. Call money wa* at :i per cent. | New York Quotations v__/ New York Stock exchange quotations furnished by J. S.

Mey 15 — Establishment of new high level* for the year by all active lssuee of United States government bond* today reflected diversion on Wall street's excess funds, which later overflowed Into other section* of the Investment market. Substantial Improvement In prices re sulted from, although a few weak spots were scattered throughout the Industrial and public utility Hats. Expectations that the bonus bill would be vetoed and a drop In the call money rate to 3 per cent, the lowest since the March plethora of funds, contributed to the heavy Institutional buying of Liberty bonds. All Issues sold at new 1924 top prices, with net gains ranging from 2-32ds to 20-32ds on frequent transactions of $100,000 or more The "Mellons" sold at a new record high, scoring a net advance of 18-3 2d*. The rapid runup In the prices of gov ernment obligations influenced buyers to turn to other sections of the market later in the day. Accumulation of French gov ernmental and municipal issues began, several of the latter registered gains of 1 to 2 points in the late trading. Rail road mortgages were eagerly sought at rising prices and acme of the popular industrial liens were In demgnd. Inde pendent weakness however, developed in Virginia-Carollna 7s and Ajax Rubber 8s, both of which dipped to new low levels. Indications point to a smaller volume of new financing for the week, although several important offerings have been scheduled tentatively for next week. These include the Peruvian loan, a portion of which will be marketed abroad, and a "Nickel Plate’* railroad Issue to exceed $20,000,000. United States Bonds.
