STOCK MARKET TONE POOR Entire List Suffers Declines— Pennsy Reaches Year’s Low. NEW YORK, April I.—The Mexican oil itock* were In heavy aupply at the opening of the stock market today. Mexican Petroleum dropped points to 139 and Pan-American Petroleum dropped I*4 point# to 07%. The rest of the list also was lower. Steel common was off % of a point to 80%. while Crucible declined nearly 2 points to 84%, and Bethlehem Steel “B” points to 53. Reading was the weakest of the rails, falling 1% points to 67%. Pennsylvania sold down to Its previous low for the year at 34>4. Southern Pacific yielded to 74%. Pierce Arrow dropped 1 point, while Studebaker and Chandler sold off fractionally. Sears Roebuck fell 1 point to 68. The market movements were confused and many stocks sustained substantial losses, while others made vigorous adva uces. Stories were circulated that Studebaker was being taken for Duraut Interests and that stoi-k, after shading off to 74%. advanced to 75%, but was again la supply and reacted to 74%. General Motors was sold In large blocks and declined % of a point to 12%, close to its previous low record. Mexican Petroleum continued pressed on the market, selling down 3 points to 138%. International Taper was exceptionally strong, moving up 3 points to 86%. (By Thomson A McKinnon.) —April 1— The news today was not of a character to help the stock market. In Europe international affairs are still complicated with no apparent progress being made in the settlement of the reparations claim against Germany. In England the coal strike is in force and the effect on general business will, of course, depend on the prolongation of the strike. In this country the figures published showing the largest number of idle cars on record, is rather discouraging, although the big figures are made up largely by idle coal cars. Trading was not at all Interesting today. During the greater part of the session dullness prevailed. During the first hour there was considerable pressure on the market, but stocks were fairly well absorbed, commission houses taking a fair proportion, while professionals seemed to be divided, one group covering shorts, while another group were selling. Considering the news, the market gave a fairly good account of itself, and while there is nothing at the moment to create any market enthusiasm, nevertheless, we believe that the best opportunities will be found on the long side, and we continue to favor the purchase of stocks on weak markets. TWENTY STOCKS AVERAGE. NEW YORK, April I.—Twenty Industrial stocks averaged 75.76, off .50 per cent. Twenty active rails averaged 70.78, off .32 per cent. CLEARING HOUSE STATEMENT. NEW YORK, April I.

WHEAT FUTURES SUFFER COLLAPSE Bottom Prices Reached in Final Hour of Trade. CHICAGO, April I.—Wheat collapsed on the Board of Trade today, closing sharply lower and right at the bottom prices on the crop. Coarse grains followed. Liquidation was on throughout the session. The close for provisions was lower. May wheat finished 3%c lower, while July lost sc. May corn was le lower: July 1%@1%c off and September the same. May oats were l%c off; July, l%c down and September lower. Wheat—Two local authorities have issued an estimate of the growing crop of wheat which is very flattering, showing a considerable Improvement since De. eeinber, contrary to normal and the present outlook better than a five-year average. These reports have influenced the minds of the trade in terminal markets and seemingly (he condition of the crops as shown in these reports is corroborated by a considerable increase in the sell-* lng of old wheat by the country. There have been numerous reports from the winter wheat sectb.n showing liberal purchases by interior mills. With the exception of rumors of heavy export business the cash demand is distinctly slow, prices being from 3c to Go lower, bids to the country reduced some 10c. If atl the export business rumored today was actually put through the sales will total betwi-en three and four million bushels, but this has been without effect In the face of the excellent crop outlook and tiie Increased offerings by the country. It Is decidedly evident that the crop news must change Its character If the market is to be responsive to reports of export business. Coarse Grains There Is not as much weakness In coarse grains as in wheat because the former sellers are impressed by the level of prices and therefore willing to aceept [profits The stubbornness of the market is not due to any improvement In distributing or export demand. • 'ash markets have been relatively firm beeause of a falling off in the reeeipts. Those markets may steady themselves around the present level for a time, but we see little chance of any upward trend of values. unless some Important outlet not now discoverable lies In the future. Provisions - Lower hugs and weakness In grains were reflected In provisions Tiie selling appears in the way of liquidation, with support lacking The general tone of the market is listless.
