STEEL ISSUES SUSTAIN LOSSES Oil Stocks Show Strength— Rail Trade Light. NEW TOKK. April 21—Although a few lssu-'s made gains at the opening of the market today, leading issues were under pressure and sustained loss of fractions to 2 points. The steel stocks were heavy. Steel common falling 14 of a point to Si. Crucible dropped 2 points to 77 and Republic Steel 1% points to 56%. Baldwin and Lackawanna f-;ll 1 point each. Some of the oils continued to work higher, Cosden advancing 1 point while Union Oil rose nearly 1 point. Royal Dutch, however, lost nearly 1 point to 61%. Mexican Petroleum sold off fractionally to 143%. Studebaker was strong, selling np 1 point to 79%. Dome Mines continued in good demand. touching anew high for the year at 21%. Goodrich Rubber sold off nearly 1 point to 35% on the passing of the common dividend. American Sumatra fell 1% and American Sugar 1% points to 87%. There was little doing in the raiis. While the market showed a generally strong tone with rallies In the steel Industrials and advances in the petroleum stocks there were many issues which were in supply at concessions. The demand for petroleum stocks was more urgent and extended to many new issues, Cosden Company, on brisk buying, rose 3% points to 36%. Mexican Petroleum, after reacting to 145%, advanced to 145%. Sinclair Oil moved up from 24% to 25%. Atlantic Gulf was one of the weak features, falling nearly 2 points to 33%. United States Steel rallied to 81%. (By Thomson A- McKinnon.) —April 21— Today's market was in many respects an exact duplicate of yesterday’s session. A large part of the list was practically neglected. The main activity was centered in the oil shares. The lower priced issues have been growing in favor recently and each day there is a noticeable increase in public interest in this department. Oil shares have always appealed to the imagination of traders and as a group, they constitute an attractive field for speculative operations. In view of the progress being made in development by numerous companies, there is every reason to expect a continuation of public participation In the market. In the industrials, Studebaker was again the feature. The buying has been constant and each day there is confirmation of the theory that a struggle for control may be one of the develments to be reckoned with in the near future. Gossip persists that interests Identified with the former head of the General Motors Corporation are constantly accumulating the sio<-k. In other departments of the market nothing of interest his developed. The statement published by the Republic Iron and Steel Company portrays in a forcible way. the deplorable condition existing at rhe present time la the steel and iron Industry. The rails have been reactionary since the bulge of last week, and basic conditions are changed in no respect. It still looks to us like some of the dividends are in doubt. The remarkable feature about the market Is the manner in which bearish news Is received. This clearly shows a healthy technical position and the presence of a substantial short interest. - *W'e anticipate for the present a continuation of the same irregular market that we have been experiencing with a downward tendency in the steel end irun shares.

Heavy hogs were generally steady, some light swine 25 cents lower, while mediums and light mixed *ogs were I*l @ls cents lower. Good heavy, mixed, medium and light hogs sold at $8.50 generally. There was one sale of heavy hogs at $8.25; one sale of light hogs at $8.73 and two or three sales of the same grade at $8.60. The reason for the narrow range in prices was said to be the scarcity of heavy hogs and the oversupply of light hogs that have been flooding tho market for the past week. Receipts for the day approximated 8.500 fresh receipts, with close to 2.000 stale hogs from the market of the day before. Buying was of a general nature. It was estimated that about two-thirds of the hogs on the market had been sold toward the close of the forenoon hours. With 1.000 fresh cattle on the market and only a fair demand shown by most buyers, prices were slow, steady to 2oe lower. Bulls were steady; steers, steady to 25c lower; cows and heifers slow, steady to 15c lower. There was another large run of calves today. There was a fair demand and prices were slow', steady on choice and good grades to 50c lower on the common grades.

GRAIN MARKET CLOSE IRREGULAR Trade Is Dull During Entire Session—Provisions Lower. CHICAGO, April 21.—Grains were Irregular in trading on the Chicago Board of Trade today.

September oats opened unchanged at 40c and closed down %e. (By Thomson A McKinnon.) —April 21 Wheat —A few claims of damage to the wheat crop havo been received and stimulated market at times, but the preponderance of crop news was favorable. Under these conflicting Items, market has been erratic but there seems to be a steady absorption of both the May and July by houses Identified with the seaboard and tho export trade. It is not easy to buy cash wheat as offerings from first hands are very light. Receipts in this market aro Insignificant, at the s.ime time, there is n better inquiry. Premiums were considered firm although no particular change reported because of tho scarcity of offerings and the consequent lack of sales. No export business has been reported, but Baltimore was inquiring for soft winter wheat at hotter premiums, and it is noticeable that the southwestern markets, where tlio foreign demand centers, wire relatively stronger than Chicago. St. Louis refers to an improvement in flour demand. We believe the strength In the cash situation Is becoming more apparent anil we feel that the May delivery must respond to the premiums for cash wheat auu the small likelihood of any inerca-eil movement. As for the new crop delivery tho market has had long time and full influence of flattering crop outlook and Is therefore presumably In position *o respond to any change in the condition of the growing crop. c,,rn ami Oats —Seaboard exporters have again been in the corn market re suiting in sales of 73*>,KM. Cash corn Is ruling relatively firmer In nil markets ami there Is no increase in the offerings from the country, except from a few points in Illinois and Indiana. ine recent low temperatures have necessitated ne.-eeding of outs, notably in lowa. 1 lie absorption of elevator accumulations of corn bv exporters, and tho refusal of the country to sell in any volume should prolong the present firmness In the cash market and stimulate the demand from domestic distributors. We expect values to work Irregularly higher. Provisions Smaller puckers continue hedging products but. market has reached a point where it should bo more responsive to any strength In grains, ue •we nothing to create an important up ward movement but believe prices are low enough.
