LATE FINANCIAL NEWS NEW YORK, April 14.—The Evening Sun financial review today said; “Todays stock market was of a constructive character, suggesting the presence of something more than professional trading. "The advance in prices was pretty consistent, but it was noted that whenever the list was disposed to turn back trading at once went dull. “Full stride was not attained until toward midday, at which time the steels took their traditional place In the lead, the equipment shares Wing particularly strong. Other groups which stood out were the oils, motors, leathers, shippings aud sugars. Prices were heavy in the last hour as business turned quiet and an advance in call money to 12 per cent against a renewal rate of 7 per cent.”

CHICAGO, April 14—Grain futures on the Chicago Board of Trade today regained a decline made earlier in the day and by noon corn was %c to %c higher and oat* %c higher. Reports that the French, government was canceling orders for large quantities of oats caused a sharp break in that market, but buying on the drop brought an upturn. May corn up %c on opening at $1.67%, lost %c later. July corn up %c on opening at $1.60%, lost %c in later trading. September corn unchanged on opening at $1.55%, remained the same. May oats unchanged on opening at 93c, gained %c In later buying. July oats up %e on opening at 85%c, Increased %c. Provisions were generally higher. Grain futures closed higher and well above the top prices reached yesterday. Offers to resell 350,000 bushels of oats for France to provide tonnage for wheat and rye caused May oats to break l%c around midday and the corn list to drop %@%c from top prices in sympathy. Prices rallied later. May corn closed %@lc higher, July %@%c better, and September %c up. May 3nd September oats at the finish showed an advance of %c and July of %@%e.
