STOCK MARKET TONE STRONG Opening Shov/ed Issues Still Under Pressure.

Declares Dividend Officials of the Farmers’ Trust Company today announced that the company, at a meeting of its directors. had declared its regular quarter’y 4 per cent dividend, payable March 31.

NEW YORK. March 22—The stock market continued under pressure at the opening today, but after the initial declines the list turned strong and nearly ail of the opening losses were recovered. Steel common first sold off to SO% and then rallied to 80%. Crucible Steel yielded 1 point to 87, with a rally goon after to 87%. Vanadium was weak, droppiug 1% points to 27%. General Asphalt rose 1% points to 62 and Endtcott Johnson made an equal gain to 64%. Atlantic Gulf rose 1 point from the low to above 34. The motor stocks pgaln were In demand. Studebaker selling above 70 and Pierce-Arrow rose nearly® point to 32%. Mexican Petroleum, after yielding % point to 144, rallied to 144%. New Haven was weakest of the rails, selling down to 15. The market presented about the same firm condition that prevailed in yesterday’s trading, the tone being strong, but many stocks were In supply. The important changes of the first hour were to higher prices. Atlantic Gulf was the most prominent feature, advancing over 3 points to 36 on aggressive buying, and the impression became more pronounced that the Standard Oil interests had recently become identified with market operations in this stock. United States Steel showed a firm tone and after falling % of a point to 80, moved up % of a point. Baldwin Locomotive was actively traded In, ranging from 86% to 7%. ‘Studebakej was actively traded in from 69% to 70%, but showed little net change. Vanadium was heavy, selling at 27%, a loss of 1% points. Mexican Petroleum ranged from 142% to 144%. (By Thomson & McKinnon.) —March 22 Yesterday’s political news was very favorable. The German victory In Sunday's balloting will make it possible for a resumption of negotiations in regard to the reparations claim. Trade news wa3 also good and the best of all was the statement of the chairman of the Southern Pacific, pointing out progressive Improvement in railroad traffic since early February, and of no minor Importance the Improvement of sentiment In commercial circles throughout the country. In addition to all this there Is constant betterment in our banking position. Liquidation and reduction of loans, increase in gold supply and an easier tendency in loaning rates. With such a combination of conditions. It was not at all surprising that after momentary easiness commission houses again became buyers of stocks, resulting in a considerable number of advances In quotations. Later In the day a little easiness developed, with some selling of rails, and some profit taking among active Industrials. From time to time we must expect opposition from the bearish element ns well as selling for long account, which will give us reactions, but with fundamentals improving, these reactions should not be followed by liquidation, but by an increased demand. Conditions are getting tetter and should be reflected in security values. TWENTY STOCKS AVERAGE. NEW YORK, March 22. —Twenty industrial stocks averaged 76.03, off .53 per cent. Twenty active rails averaged 70.70. off .92 per cent. CLEARING lIOCSE STATEMENT. NEW YORK, March 22.—Exchanges, 57i>2.393.46; balances. $57,919,257: Federal Reserve Bank credit balances, $48,408,754.

There were 6,000 fresh hogs on the market and trade was only fairly active, which caused several of the commission men to anticipate a poor clearance for the day. At the middle of the forenoon it was estimated that but little more than half of the fresh reeclpts had been sold and there were predictions that the market would be still lower before the close, due in part to reports of lower tendencies on othe rimportant hog markets of the country. Order men and Armour were the principal buyers up to the middle of the forenoon. At that time Kingan A Cos., who are generally the principal buyers on the market, had bought only 2G© hogs at close to 40 cents lower than the market of the day before. Practically all grades were 50 cents lower. Pigs generally brought the price of the loads. Roughs were $8.50 and down with one drove at $8.75, which really could not be considered as the general market. With 700 fresh cattle on the market and many of the buyers trying to buy cattle at lower prices, the tone of the cattle market was poor today. However, prices of the stuff that was bought was practically steady. After the opening the market showed a little more strength, but at that it was not active. There were no fancy bunches of cattle on the market, which could reasonably be called featureless. Calf prices were weak today, with the bulk of the choice calves at $14®14.50 and a few scattered sales at sls. Good calves generally brought [email protected] and mediums slo® 12.50. Other grades were slightly weaker than on the market of Ihe day before. There were approximately 700 calves on the market. With no sheep and lambs on tho market, the majority of the receipts be,ng lambs, the market was steady, w ith prime sheep at sl®3, and lambs s6® 15. The top of sls wus paid tot twenty-one spring sheep.

GRAIN PRICES SUFFER DECLINES Heavy Selling and Good Crop Reports Factors. CHICAGO, March 22. —Grain prices declined on the Chicago Board of Trade today, due to heavy selling and reports of Improvement in crop conditions. Provisions were lower. March wheat opened down %c at $1.52 and lost lc additional before the close. May wheat opened unchanged at $1.42 and dropped lc later. May corn opened at 65%c, off %c, and dropped %c subsequently. July corn opened at 68%e. off %c and lost %c additional before the close. May oats opened at 4OV2C, off %c, and dropped %e additional later. July oats opened off %c at 42%c and dropped an additional %c before the close. (By Thomson A McKinnon.) —March 22 Wheat—A rather liberal volume es sxport business over Sunday was responsible for the strength In the early wheat market. General business conditions underlying the market are good so far as milling and investment demand are concerned, but It is a fact that there Is no extreme pressure of actual wheat. This is evidenced in the firmness of premiums, not only here but In other markets. We appreciate the need of something radical In the news to revive the Investment and milling demand. Prices will probably rule around the present level pending further developments. Coarse Grains—The early strength in corn and oats was simply in sympathy with the wheat market. There is no improvement In the domestic distributing demand and it Is claimed seaboard exporters have taken more corn than they find an outlet for in foreign markets. The destruction of some 10,000,000 bushels of storage room In this market decreases the buying power for the reason that the remaining space is already well filled. Provisions—T he decline In grains and genera! dullness overcame strength in the early hog market. There is talk of a better foreign demand for lard but nothing corroborative In the market Itself CHICAGO GRAIN. —March 22 WHEAT— Open. High. Low. Close.
