PAGE EIGHT THE NEWS-PALLADIUM SATURDAY, MAY 13, 193? STOCKS ONDS PRODUCE GRAIN Market Reports By Associated Press Leased Wire LIVESTOCK POULTRY TEMPERATURES SHARES POINT I Closing Stock Prices I WARM WEATHER Atmosphere Of Cheerfulness Greets Forbes At Atlanta PHIL UPTON'S BODYFOUND (Continued From Page One) lExcello 17 Homestake Min 66 I Lone Star Cement 46 BYB.C. FORBES ATLANTA. May 13. The atmosphere here is more bouyant, more cheerful than in Wall street. And with reason.

Whereas the financial metropolis is in deep doldrums, with volume of business dragging at starvation levels for. New York Stock Exchange members, things are moving more satisfactorily here. The city is growing. Atlanta always has been a notable distributive center. It still is.

But its citizens are taking justl- FORBES fiable pride in its expansion as a manufacturing center. This development, already impressive, promises to attain even greater momentum. Last quarter 33 manufacturing plants and other new concerns were established by out-of-town companies. Also, 26 additional resident representatives of nationally-known enterprises located in Atlanta to serve this region. This represents advance over the first quarter of last year.

Chairman Ivan Allen, of the local chamber of commerce's industrial bureau, tells me: "Figures from the latest U. S. census of manufacturers, just received for the southern cities, prove that our industrial output exceeds any city in the whole region." He furnishes these comparative (1937) figures of manufactured products to southern cities: Value of Manufactured City Products Atlanta $152,704,389 Birmingham 93,557,699 Charlotte 41,286,720 Chattanooga 86548,394 Dallas 140,62658 Ft. Worth 110,013,332 Houston 146,145,451 Jacksonville 43,459,269 Memphis 150.879573 Nashville 71,625,713 New Orleans 126.508,215 Unlike too many other cities, Atlanta isn't dependent largely on any one industry. The products of its.

845 factories are widely diversified, representing more than 1500 different commodities. The U. S. Department of Commerce declared: "Atlanta is generally recognized as the principal headquarters city of the southeastern region." "The interest and activity being shown in Atlanta at this time by excutives of prospective Industries indicate," declares Mr. Allen, "that this year will see the establishment of more new industries and other types of concerns than either of the past two years.

I am enthusiastic about the outlook. Already we have developed an encouraging array of live prospects' for important factories this year." Atlanta is essentially air-minded. A movement now is on foot to establish direct air mail, express and passenger service between Atlanta and Cincinnati. This would give the city its eighth air route "and clinch Atlanta's place as the aeronautical hub of the southeast." Thirty-three1, planes arrive and depart daily. The latest census rated Atlanta 32nd among America's cities.

Today's estimated population for the city alone is for the Atlanta metropolitan area, 420,600. It is 13th in bank clearings; 18th in postal receipts. It rates 4th In the United States in the amount of fire Insurance premiums cleared annually. Other significant facts; Its total telephones have Increased more than 35 per cent in the last six years and now register a new record. Over 2,500 of America's leading business organizations have branches in Atlanta for manufacturing or for warehousing and distributing purposes.

Lately, the city's home-owned plants have been multiplying. Bank clearings in 1938 reached An average of one convention Is attracted every business day to the "metropolis of the southeast." The south may cr may not be the nation's "economic problem number one." If it is. a tot of the business men one meets don't seem to think so. (Copyright, 1939, by B. C.

It was a crawling session throughout with transfers of approximately 175,000 shares. Fractional gains were plentiful at the close but numerous issues were unchanged and an assortment of minor declines was in evidence. Sentiment seemed to be slightly improved as recently waning hopes for tax revision in Congress revived a trifle.

A few mail orders and farm implements were aided by the Senate's record appropriation for agriculture and the favorable statement of Montgomery Ward for the quarter ended April 30. Brooklyn TJnion Gas stock and bonds again touched new highs for the year in the wake of optimistic earnings forecasts for this company. Steels Are Resistant Steels were resistant despite further reports of price cutting. Small advances at one time or another were posted for U. S.

Steel, Bethlehem, Chrysler, General Motors, Montgomery Ward, Standard Oil of N. Consolidated Edison, Southern Railway, Westinghouse, Union Carbide, International Harvester, Deere, Allied Chemical, Eastman Kodak and Glenn Martin. Some of these eventually slipped. Douglas Aircraft marked up a modest gain following the concern's report for the fiscal quarter ended Feb. 28, revealing the highest net for any single quarter in.

its history. Bonds were selectively in demand. With the exception of cotton futures, which were given an upward push on reports Spain might arrange large purchases of this staple in the United States, commodities lacked rising vitality. Fractional advances were scored in the curb market by American Cyana-mid and Niagara Hudson Power. Creole Petroleum and Northern States Power shaded lower.

Bond Market Narrow NEW May 13 The bond market stayed within a fractional range either way of Friday's prices today with trading Only a halfidozen Treasury issues had appeared on the tape toward the close and smost deals were made within 132 to 3 32 of a point up or down from the preceding session. In the corporate list there were a few strong spots, notably Brooklyn TJnion Gas 5s, New Orleans Texas Mexico 5s and Louisville Nashville 4s, all up one to three points. But the general run of active issues were well mixed. A shade ahead were Detroit Edison 44 Rock Island 4s, American Foreign Power 5s and Southern Pacific Vis. Unchanged to lower were Delaware Hudson refunding 4s, Amer-can Water Works 6s, Bethlehem Steel 3 Vis, Missouri Pacific 5s, Nickel Plate 5'is and Pere Marquette 5s.

Foreign dollar loans followed the general market pattern. Argentine 4s and Australia 44s were up fractionally while Rome 6VjS yielded more than a point.

Prospects of warm weather over the entire wheat belt during the week-end and indications of very little rain during the coming week boosted wheat prices as much as 14 cent a bushel today. Wheat for July delivery reached 75 cents, up 14 from the previous close, and the September contract was up 1 at 744. The current delivery advanced to 79, up 1 from yesterday's close, after opening fractionally down. Wheat closed 14 to 1 higher, May 79-, July 744, September 74-; corn 4 lower to higher, July 514-, September 524-; oats 4 off to 4 up, July 334-33, September 314; soy beans 4 off to 4 up July 954, October 83; rys 1 to 24 higher, September 51; lard unchanged to 5 cents up.

Rain fell in the western part of Nebraska, Kansas, Oklahoma, and Texas. Most traders, however, were Inclined to believe that general rains were needed In the winter wheat belt to change the tenor of recent reports. Weather in the southwest this morning was reported to be generally clear. Liverpool" quotations, which were slightly higher than due, aided the upturn here. Corn trade was quiet and prices were fractionally lower much of the time, but later took strength from wheat and advanced to about yesterday's close.

There was little export demand. Rye advanced more than a cent to a new season's high, July reaching 494, and September 504. Oats trade was quiet and about steady and lard prices also were unchanged. SPRAY BULLETIN County Agent Harry J. Lurkins today issued advice to fruit growers regarding quince trees.

He said: "Watch quince buds. Spray quince trees before they bloom for black-spot fungus, curculio and other chewing insects. Use 3-5-100 bordeaux plus three pounds of lead arsenate in each 100 gallons. Spray thoroughly. "Quince trees need about the same culture and fertilization as are required for pear trees.

Quince tree growth should not be forced too much on account of blight. Keep dead wood out of trees to prevent injury to fruit." Mr. Lurkins advised. POTATOES CHICAGO, May 13. (U.

STARS GREETED IN VISIT HERE (Continued From Page One) by William Froberg.Then the motorcade swept on to the twin cities, pulling up at the city hall with a flourish and a round of cheers from, the crowd of fans, the majority of whom were girls and women. Mayor Gives A Welcome "Welcome to Benton Harbor and to the fruit belt," said the mayor, all smiles.

Chic Bell, House of David greeter and entertainer, was there, too, to add a word of greeting. The stars responded to the mayor's greeting, cameras clicked, the crowd applauded and the autograph hounds pushed forward to get the stars to sign on the dotted line. The visiting lady stars, smartly attired in spring traveling outfits, were presented with flowers. "Where George Rait?" yelled a perspiring lady camera In one hand and an autograph book In the other. "He missed the boat," replied Paul Luther of Columbia's broadcasting system.

There was something like a groan of disappointment and then the crowd pushed nearer to get a better cloe-up of the stars who, all smiles, were shaking hands, laughing, signing their names and otherwise milling about. Ed Bartz of the local Dodge agency and G. A. Leiby of the local Holland furnace agency were on hand to add to the greeting. The visiting party finally climbed back into their cars and were off to Holland, where the tulips are abloom and Dutch maidens in wooden shoes are adding to the quaint sights of tulipland.

Ends Month's Search Finding of the last two bodies today ended a search that had never stopped since the disappearance of the boys last month. College authorities, New York Stats Police and a U. 8. Coast Guard cutter Joined a river hunt 12 hours after the tragedy had occurred and when the boys had not returned following the night venture on the Hudson with the small dinghy. John Hurley, sales manager of th 1900 Corporation, of which Mr.

Upton is the president and directing head, joined the search. After several days of river dragging and patrolling the authorities retired from the scene, but a Coast Guard boat continued the hunt for several days. Finally all the searchers withdrew except a single patrol, although Hudson river fishermen continued to look for the bodies Uncle Leave For East The Upton family at Edgewater received word of the finding of Philip's body this morning. Fred Upton, an uncle, said he understood the two bodies found floating on the river's surface this morning were located not far from where the tragedy is supposed to have occurred. The uncle and a brother of the dead boy.

Bob Upton, and Mr. Hurley made arrangements to leave this ait ernoon for the East. They will com. plete the identification, claim the re mains and have them cremated. As previously announced, no fur ther rites will be held for the St Jo seph boy, beloved by his family and a wide circle of friends in the twin cities.

Shortly after the tragedy the father announced that if the body were recovered it would be cremated and the ashes brought home, prob ably to be consigned to nearby waters which Philip loved so well ana over which he sailed ever since he was a youngster. Sailing was a sport which Philip preferred above all others and he was widely known in sailing circles, not only here but in the Chicago area. The memorial service which was held in St. Joseph on Monday after noon, April 17, wherein a beautuui and moving tribute was paid the deceased and which emphasized the tri umphant spirit of youth, as was so eloquently renectea Dy rmup Upton's life, was intended by the boy's parents as the final service in mem ory of their beloved son. BACK DUE TAX CHECKS MAILED OUT TO TOWNS St.

Joseph will receive the largest of the checks to te mailed out today by County Treasurer William Bartz covering the city and townships proportionate share of the delinquent taxes collected during the month of March. The total distribution of the taxes collected during that month will be $18,834.84.
