STOCK ISSUES MAKE GAINS Initial Quotations Fraction to 2 Points Up. NEW YORK, March 7.—A1l the leading issues were in demand at the opening of the stock market today. Initial quotations were from fractions to 2 points above Saturday's close. Atlantic Gulf was actively taken, selling up 2 points to 42*14. Chandler Motors sold np 1% points to 71% and Studebaker rose 1 point to 60%. Steel common rose % of a point to above £2 and Baldwin gained nearly 1 point to 90%. Mexican Petroleum wrfs also in good demand, selling up 1% points to 157%. General Asphalt rose 1 point to 57%. Anew condition was shown in the market throughout the early trading today, the quiet tone of Saturday being succeeded by urgent buying orders, but only a small part of these orders could be executed, even at advances of 1 to 2 points. Steel moved up 1 point to 82% and Baldwin and Bethlehem Steel “B’’* both made gains of 1 point. The oils generally swung over a wider range. Royal Dutch and Mexican Petroleum both making gains of over 2 points and Standard Oil of New Jersey advancing 4 points, selling at 147. The motors were directly influenced by the definite information that Chandler would declare its regular quarterly dividend at 2 per cent, which carried that stock up from 60% to 71%. Studebaker followed with a gain of 1% points to 61. Atlantic Gulf was one of the strongest features, advancing 3 points to 44%. The rails were fractionally higher. (By Thomson & McKinnon) —March 7 Saturday was one of the dullest market sessions !n some time, relieved only by some activity in Reading. There was a fair rally in the stock with the demand mostly from the local trading element, which probably represented short covering to a large extent. Several explanations were offered from this strength. One was that one of the subsidiary coal companies is expected to declare a substantial cash dividend. The other, and more plausible, reason is the expectation of a change in the plan of dissolution, which will deal more liberally with the common stock. The rails generally were fairly steady. In a few some Improvement in quotations was noted. Industrials were very inactive. There was an absence of offerings, and apparently no demand, though market observers agreed that the local short element were more inclined to cover. The news of the day presented nothing of a market-making character, though press comment was as a rule very favorable in the construction placed on the inaugural address of President Harding. There is still an uncertain feeling with regard to steel and iron prices, and it looks as though the United States Steel Corporation will have Its own way for the present at least and one of the leading independents have actually advanced quotations to the level maintained by the big company. Commercial agencies note improvement in a few lines, and this improvement should gradually extend and become more general. We feel that the market has discounted all that U unfavorable.

INDIANA DAILY TIMES, MONDAY, MARCH 7, 1921.

SLUMP HITS GRAIN PRICES Local Selling and Good Crop Reports Factors. CHICAGO, March 7 Grain prices dropped on the Chicago Board of Trade today due to reports of improved wheat crop conditions and considerable local selling. Trade was light. Provisions higher. March wheat opened off %e at $1.70% ad dropped %e additional before the close. May wheat opened down %c at $1.68% and later lost %c. May corn was off %c at the opening at 71 %c and in later trading dropped an additional %c. After opening off %c' 1 at 73%e, July corn held that figure. May oats opened at 46c. off %e and remained unchanged. July oats opened off %c at 47e and dropped an additional %c subsequently. (By Thomson & McKinnon.) —March 7 Wheat—A distinctly slow demand for caßh wheat and forecast of rain or snow over the major portion of the wheat belt, brought a little realizing in Saturday’s market. A small amount of flour for export was sold late Friday, but no evidence of any business Saturday. Premiums for hard winter wheat were about 1 cent lower, and for soft winter wheat from 1 to 2 cents lower, with low grade spring almost unsalable. There has been some selling of tbe March delivery by cash handlers, probably against purchases from the country. The immediate market is not likely to develop any important action unless the weather remains unfavorable. In case the predicted precipitation does not appear In the weather map of today there may be firmness, while on the other nnnd good rains, especially in Kansas, would result in lower prices. Nothing has developed to suggest any strong trend in prices either way. The entire trade is awaiting the report on reserves, but of still greater importance will be the weather conditions over the winter wheat belt. Corn and Oats—There Is a better distributing demand for oats but no improvement In corn. There is not sufficient demand In either grain to bring relative strength in the cash market. Deliverable grades of corn are selling at 5 cents and more under the May delivery and the movement from the country exceeds the demand. Ideas of higher prices are derived from tha farm feeding value but the worth of corn as converted into hogs has nothing w hatever to do with tbe price ft the present accumulation in the commercial market. Provisions—Lower hogs as well as the action of corn were influential in the provision market. There is a rather brisk demand for fresh meats and but little, if any. Improvement in the foreign outlook. CHICA%P GRAIN. March 7 WHEAT— Open. High. Low. Close.
