At noon the ticket was only 7 min utes behind the market, having fall en some 20 mlnntes in arrears pre viously. Trading during the first two hours was at the rate of 1,350, 000 shares an hour, which.

Prices of scores of active stocks broke $5 to $15 a share on opening transactions of 5,000 to 25,000 shares, but a brisk rally en sued before the end -of the first half hour. . Similar recessions In prices took place on the New York curb ex change and in the stock markets of Boston, Philadelphia, Chicago and other leading financial centers. Wall street was taken completely by surprise by the rise In rate, as the retention of the 5tt per cent discount rate by the Bank of Eng land Thursday was accepted aa as surance that no change would be made in the New York rate on the theory that federal reserve officials would not want to embarrass Brit ish bankers In their efforts to con serve the dwindling English gold supply. All leading brokerage houses In structed their employes to report for work an hour or more earlier than usual this morning with the result that the streets of the finan cial district were crowded with hurrying workers as early as 8 o'clock. Downtown telephone ex changes were swamped with calls of customers placing orders and of brokers calling for instructions and demanding margin on weakened speculative account. So great was the rush to sell that many specialists were compelled to refuse to accept "stop loss" orders, particularly In odd lots.

The discount market at first was in a state of uncertainty in view of the possibility of a rise In the bank rate, but was reassured by the Inti mation in authoritative quarters this afternoon that no change was Imminent unless the exchange posi tion became serious.

Oregon is taking care of all de pendent children of ex-service men without assistance from the national department. Judge Jacob Kanzler, of Portland, told the delegates. One hundred children need hospitaliza tion but the Doernbecker hospital, Its activities curtailed by lack of or vetoed appropriations, can care for only 45, though it has 75 beds avail able.

Continua tion of the committee was desired. United States 8enator C. L. Mc- Nary addressed the convention briefly at the afternoon session. Legislation follows organizations banded for good or welfare, all working together, he said.

BEND WINS STUNT ' PRIZE AT CONVENTION (Continued from page 1) The hiatus in the celebration down town was only a couple oi eastern Oregon Legion contingents oblig ingly standing at ease to anow a milk wagon to get by. Anyone who went home Deiore o o'clock Friday morning missed something. All night long music and song filled the air. Some of it was harmony and some wasn't. Some of it came from the streets and the hotel lobbies, and some of it from away up-stairs in the ho tels. Curiously the music that came from up-stairs wasn't as har monious as that down-stairs. The night hours of the Ameri can Legion convention had no or ganized program. Visiting Legion naires and their companions of the Legion auxiliary were having a good time, and most of it was or derly. Mostly they traveled in par ties. Lone celebrants were scarce. Harry Levy of Capital post, Salem, was alone except for a pet sheep. Harry led the lamb all around town. "We are looking for Mary," he explained. "Has anyone seen Mary?" An eastern Oregon veteran and two girl friends strolled down State street arm In arm, singing, "We don't give a damn for the whole Willamette valley. Two Legion naires with lady friends on their arms were proclaiming musically, "There ain't no wives with us." A touch of old-time celebration was added by one group of Legion naires and auxiliary members who hauled a cannon around town shooting It off at the street corn ers. Until long after midnight the congestion of pedestrians and au tomobiles on tne streets was con tinuous. Motor vehicles stood In long lines on State and Commer clal street awaiting opportunity to move on. Church street from Court to Ferry where the carnival attrac tions are located was Jammed un til midnight. Hundreds of children patronized the "rides", while the athletic show, the shooting gallery, the palmist and the games all had waiting lines of patrons. The con vention is a harvest for the con cessionaires. BARLEY. YIELDS 75 BUSHELS AT DAYTON Dayton A threshing progresses ail grain yield are good.
