| TODAY'S MARKETS |
CHICAGO GRAIN
CHICAGO, June 17. (VP)—'Wheat
prices underwent a quick early drop
today following official announce
ment of the Washington administra
tion’s $150,000,000 wheat proces
sor tax and farmer owner plan.
Active selling was based largely
on assumption that the plan would
tend to bring United States terminal
market prices for wheat down to a
shipping basis under Liverpool.
Opening 3-8 to 1 cent lower,
wheat afterward fell further. Corn
started unchanged to 3-8 off, de
clined all around, and then scored
gains.
Wheat closed firm at the same as
yesterday’s finish to vl-8 higher,
compared with yesterday’s finish,
com 3-4 to 1 1-8 up, oats 1 1-8 to 1
1-2 advanced, and provisions vary
ing from 2 cents decline to 5 cents
gain.
NEW ORLEANS COTTON
NEW ORLEANS. June 17. (VP>—
Cotton had an easier opening to
day. Liverpool came in considerably
lower than due and first trades
here showed losses of 12 to 14
points. The market continued to
ease after the start on weekend
liquidation and uncertainty over the
government’s plans for leasing cot
ton acreage. October dropped to 9.12
and December to 9.25, or 19 to 21
points down from yesterday’s close.
Late in the first hour the market
rallied 5 to 8 points in sympathy
with a somewhat firmer opening of
stocks.
NEW YORK STOCKS
NEW YORK. June 17. (/P)—Al
though the currency stabilization
bogey still lurked in the stock mar
ket shadows today, prices of lead
ing shares maintained resistance to
sporadic profit taking flurries. While
there were several gainers of 1 to
around 2 points. The close wras
steady to firm. Transfers approxi
mated 1,400,000 shares.
The dollar firmed moderately in
terms of the British pound and Eu
ropean gold currencies. Commodi
ties were slightly mixed, although
wheat rallied after an early decline.
Cotton was heavy.
Among the stock that drew a fol
lowing was Bethlehem Steel which
spurted more than 3 points on re
ports that the government’s ship
building program was to be inaug
urated soon. National Shipbuilding
company shares also got up around
3 while electric boat and American
Ship advanced around a point each.
American Telephone gained 2 1-2
points, and issues of Chrysler, Gen
eral Motors, U. S. Smelting, and sev
eral others moved forward about a
point. Rails failed to respond too
heartily to the carloadings news and
most of them held to a fractional
range.

organdie, scattered flower petals
from a blue basket along the bride’s
pathway.
The bride entered on the arm of
her grandfather, John Eliff, who
gave her in marriage. Her gown of
white point d’esprit was made along
long fitted lines. The long, flowing
bridal veil was caught up with
orange blossoms. She carried a bou
quet of white Columbia rosebuds
and lilies-of-the-valley.
John Snow, brother of the bride,
was best man for Mr. White.
Following the impressive double
ring ceremony, punch was served
on the lawn from huge blocks of
ice which had flowers froezn in the
center*. Presiding at the punch bowls
were Mrs. Josie Lee McKinney, Mrs.
B. A. Riley. Miss Merle Mills and
Miss Lorraine Dameron.
The couple departed immediately
following the ceremony for Monter
rey, Mexico, for a short visit. The

style arbiters, agree on Mrs. Harrison Williams, Kentucky-born wife
of New York utilities magnate, as best-dressed society woman. Pictured
