Boardof Trado Decides Sep
tember Delivery Controversy.
Shorts Have Threb Days
to Scttlo
CHICAGO. 6tpt. 24. A rally of ono
cent over the opening prices took place
In the wheat market In the early hours
and then a steady undertone became evi
dent. The reason for the rally was the
llRht offering to meet a good demand.
Trading was almost at a standstill. Com
mission houses bought on tire bulge.
The decision of the Board of Trade on
the September velvet chaff delivery con
troversy Is expected to lower prices, ac
cording to bears. The decision follows:
"Be It resolved. That It Is the sense
of the directory that wheat so graded Is
valid tender on time contracts, subject,
however, to the right of principal taking
delivery to demand of party making de
livery that dockage shall be removed
and that clean wheat ot same grade
graded without dockage for quantity cov
ered by tho warehouso receipt or de
livery notice. If delivered In cars, shall
be dellvored to holder of receipt. It shall
be duty of delivering party, when request
ed, to have wheat oleancd with, all pos
sible dispatch, and said delivery party
shall bo liable to the holder of receipt
for all storage charges, according to ex
cess ot three days otter demand has
been made."
Bhorta were said o be displeased at
the ruling. However, as they have three
days to dellvec after the close ot the
month, It Is believed, that the tension of
the situation has been relieved.
Export eales reported, totaled 400.009
bushels.
Liverpool and Argentine markets were
reported easier with no fair prospects
of betterment.

amounts for Immediate requirements.
rrlcea for desirable wools are well main
tained. Trading In territory wools la

CONTROL OF L0CAI STEEL STOQKS
SLIPPING AWAY FROM THIS CITY
- ISH.S IS !
Largest Deals Since Philadelphia Loflfc Lhigk .Valley
and Baldwin -Tracton Shares at New
High Levels
The local financial district was agog
today with the talk of changes of owner
ship of so many big Phlladelphla-owncd
Industries. That no less than three ot
the city's largest steel companies should
be apparently slipping from the control
ot local interests at one and the same
time la practically unprecedented. Not
since the capture of the Lehigh Valley by
the so-called "nock Island crowd" and
tho sale of the Baldwin Locomotlvo works
have such Important deals occurred. It
Is Interesting to note that the same
Individual who succeeded In engineering
the Daldwln deal under the noses, so
to speak, of some of tho city's most
powerful bankers, appears to have turned
a similar "coup de main" In the case of
the Mldvale Steel Company. Incidentally,
It Is said that he recently- liquidated
his large holdings of Baldwin shares on
the record breaking rlso In that Issue.
Sharp advances In the local traction
stocks wero the outstanding feature ot
the trading on the Philadelphia Exchange
today, and both Itapld Transit and Union
Traction made new high records for the
year. The more the Street studies the
political situation tho more It la Im
pressed with the hope of betterment In
quotations for all ths local public utilities.
