STOCK MARKET CLOSES STEADY Business in Leading Issues on Small Scale. NEW YORK, March 25.—The stock market closed steady today. The market showed a steady tone in the late dealings, although transactions in the leading issues were on a small scale. Studebaker. after moving up to 78%, fell to 77%. American Smelting was weak, declining ever 3 points to 30%. Sears-Roebuck rallied 2 points to 68. Houston Oil moved up over 5 points to 81%. and Pacific Oil touched 37, a gain of 1 point. United States Steel hung around 82% and Baldwin around 89. The railroad list was featureless, a Total sales of stocks today were 382,700 Mfcares; bonds. $7,240,000. Total stiles of stocks for the week were Hp,934,900 shares; bonds. $42,738,000. ’ (By Thomson & McKinnon.) —March 20— A moderate volume of business today was perfectly natural in view of the absence of many traders. Nevertheless, there was a fairly active market in limited number of Issues. The professional element took an early stand against the market, but did not meet with, much success In depressing values. A few stocks displayed weakness, but, due to special reasons applicable in the individual case, Kelly-Sringfield Tire and Sears-Roebuck showed losses, the selling being on the theory that the present dividends are not safe. American Smelting and Refining was under moderate pressure. The controversy between some stockholders and the management is having an unfavorable effect on sentiment in relation to this issue. The market as a whole, however, displayed a good undertone. There was a fair demand from commission houses, and this demand should gradually increase, since it is becoming daily more apparent that general conditions are improving, improvement being noted in various sections of the country and iu the various lines. All we need now is improvement in Europe. TWENTY STOCKS AVERAGE. NEW YORK, March 26.—Twenty industrial stocks averaged 77.39, off .39 per cent. Twenty active rails averaged 70.90, off .14 per cent.

Stock Market Review

NEW YORK, March 26.—The Sun's financial review today said; "Business on the stock exchange in today’s brief session was unusually active for a week-end market, but the activity was confined principally to the motor and related shares, the wool and oil issues. "Ralls were more or less neglected and steels und equipments were in the background. "Trading started off with a vigorous selling movement In such issues as SearsRoebuck. Kelly-Springfleld Tire and other rubber shares. The whole list was unsettled for a spell, but heavy buying of the motor group reuppeared and the market steadied and turned distinctly strong In spots. “Sears-Roebuck was down more than four points at lts low figure and KellySprlngfield was off three points. "One the other hand, Studebaker, Pierce-Arrow, Chandler, American Bosch and the like advanced 1 to 3 points in the closing hours. "The foreign exchange market was dull.’’

GRAIN PRICES CLOSE IRREGULAR March Wheat Makes Advances on Commission House Buying. CHICAGO, March 26.—Following a holiday Friday, grain prices were Irregular on the Chicago Board of Trade today. March wheat advanced fractionally when commission houses showed an Inclination to purchase. Provisions were lower. March wheat, opening unchanged at $1.53, advanced %<’ at the Close. May wheat opened unchanged at $1.42, but declined lu later trading. May corn opened unchanged at 04%c, but dropped %c at the close. July corn opened up %e at 67c and gained an additional %c later. May oats opened unchanged at 40%c and remained at that figure throughout later tradlug. (By Thomson & McKinnon.) —March 26 Wheat—The placing of the Greek order of 1,300,000 bushels of wheat firmed the early market, but as has been the case for some lime, there was no improvement in the demand, the market thereafter being under the Influence of very flattering news from the new crop. Rains have appeared over the entire wheat belt, even In the far Western territory where needed, and it Is now generally conceded that damage by Insects, so far, Is unimportant. We do not anticipate any immediate reversal on the bearish sentiment now existing, but it does seem to us tliat strong convictions of lower prices, based on the new crop are premature. Corn and Oats—Eastern distributing demand for corn 1s reported better than for some time and the Southern trade show s more interest in oats, but we doubt If there will be sufficient improvement in this sort of demand to materially decrease the stocks now at terminal markets. This demand may be sufficient to steady the market temporarily, but the best, outlet for current receipts and elevator accumulations is still to be found in the more deferred deliveries. Provisions it seems impossible to broaden the Interest in this market under conditions now prevailing. C HICAGO GRAIN. —March 26 WHEAT— Open. High. Low. Close.
