(By John L. Cooley,

NEW YORK, Aug. L-Two tear gas bombs today played greater ha.- voc with the New York Stock Ex- change then all the bull and bear nlarketl in history.

5omeone—identity unknown-set the bombs in an intake pipe of the big building's air cooling system. Fifteen minutes after their fumes had been released the Exchange had closed for the day, hundreds of arok- ers, clerks and other occupants of the structure had struggled weeping and clicking to the street, and the New York police were seeking those rcsponsible for the most exciting in- cident Wall Street had experienced since the Morgan property was bombed with far more destruction years ago.

Dominion's farmers saw their ban- ner at the top 0d the mast with hopes rising that demand for from foreign countries would cut down the 1933 carryover. Experts who attended the conferences gave farmers en- rouragement in disclosing Europ- ean countries wanted the Canadian grain.

The big share of the prize money from all grains went to the Dom- inion. Its growers took $64,873, more than double the $25,526 which went to United States grow- ers and $8,221, won by farmers in

, countries other than Canada and

the United States. Approximately $2,000 of the prize money was not awarded because judges felt some entries were not worthy.

One house and four beach shacks on the lower end of San Padre Is- land were smashed in by heavy seas.

Campers and s. detachment of cavalrymen were marooned on Bra.- zos Island, also near the "nouth of the Rio Grands, but shore observers said they were on high ground and appeared to be in no danger.

The hurricane, with a wind of 60 miles an hour velocity, disrupted light and power lines in Brownsville. and severed telephone connections with Port Isabel and the coast guard station on Padre Island.

when the last report was receiv- ed froin Padre Island at 4.30 p. 1a.. the barometer there stood at 29.17, a wind of an estimated velocity of 70 miles an hour was blowing and heavy seas were sweeping over most of the island. A dozen coast guards- men were rnarooned there, but were believed to be safe.

At Port Isable, most of the nor- mal population of 1,500 persons had moved inland before the storm struck.

Disa st rous Fire Occurs

ATHENS, Greece, Aug 4- Dsmage estimated at more than $150,000 was caused io- day by fire which swept most of the city of Corinth.

With the help of apparatus rushed from Athens the fire was brought under control after hours of fighting.

Soldiers were called to the scene to maintain law and ord- er. Oorlnth is about 60 miles from Athens.
