STOCK MARKET CLOSES HEAVY Leading Issues Make Slight Rallies in Final Hour. NEW YORK, May 20—The stock market closed heavy today. The market showed a slightly steadier tone in the last hour, fractional rallies occurring in most of the leading issues. The oil stocks, however, were tinder pressure, Mexican Petroleum falling to 146 and Pan-American Petroleum to 63%. United States Steel fell to 82% and then recovered to 82*6, while Crucible moved up from 71*6 to 72. American Linseed sold down to 33, a loss of 5 points. Chesapeake & Ohio rallied over 1 point to 53*6. Stndebaker was in supply falling to 7714. Total sales of stocks were 632,900 shares; bonds, $9,538,000. (By Thomson * McKinnon.) —May 20— Regardless of tne news that may be entertained as to the ultimate trend of the stock market, there can be no doubt but that the recent action of the market is well calculated to discourage the public and to discourage traders, and is doing much to encourage the professional element in their theory of lower prices. We have had a good many bulges in the stock market since the beginning of the year, but they do not hold. Every bulge is quickly followed by a recession, and from time to time weak points are exposed in the affairs of individual companies resulting in Cutting, and in some instances, passing dividends. All that helps to further undermine confidence. Today, the action of the C. & O. board In deferring the dividend came as a shock to the market. And, it is only natural that doubt should immediately follow as to the action of other railroad companies. If the market action is of any Talue at aIL then It may be safely assumed that other dividends are •in doubt, particularly in the case of Great Western and Northern Pacific. To make matters still worse various Industries continue sluggish and there Is today less optimism with regard to the automobile industry thau at any time this year. TWENTY STOCKS AVERAGE.

WHEAT CONTINUES UPWARD TREND Other Grain Prices Irregular —Corn Down, Oats Up. CHICAGO, May 20.—Wheat continued its upward spurt on the Chicago Board of T rade today, while other grain quotations were irregular. Corn dropped while oats advanced. Buying of wheat for export demand and disturbing reports crop condition caused the advance In wheat prices. Provisions were irregular. Mar wheat opened up %c at $1.53% and closed up 6c. July opened up %c at $1.20% and closed up 3c. May corn opened unchanged at 59c and dropped %c at the close. July opened unchanged at 60%c and closed off %C. September corn opened at 63%c, up %c and closed off %c. May oats opened unchanged at 36%c and closed up %c; July opened unchanged at 38%c and closed up %c. September oats opened up %c at 39%c and closed up %c. (By Thomson A McKinnon.) —May 20Wheat—The general' tenor of all crop reports being to the effect that generous rain must be received at once, has been the main Stimulus In the wheat market but prices have been affected also by the strength in the cash situation which has so many times referred to. Crop reports heretofore have been confined to Texas, Oklahoma imd Kansas but unfavorable advices are now being received from Missouri. It Is claimed that offering of cash wheat from Illinois, lowa and western States have been somewhat Increased, none-the-less, cash wheat In the various terminal markets has kept pace with the advance of the futures. Export demand for gulf wheat Is slow but some business Is being done in Manltobas. There being no Indication of overnight rains In the territory where needed, the market will probably show strength tomorrow. Inasmuch as we have now entered into a weather market, it would seem advisable to accept profits on holdings on any further advance, although we are not prepared to suggest anticipation of lower prices. Corn and Oats—The strength in wheat has not been reflected In corn and oats for tile reason that the country seem* strongly disposed to lighten a portion of its load or reserves. Offering* of corn, through the day, have been fairly liberal. Cash demand, both corn and oats, is of only far proportion. From a standpoint of supplies in sight, reserves in the country and a mediocre demand there sems little likelihood of any advance in these grains. Provisions—An advance in the price of hogs strengthened the provision market early, but as there was no improvement in the underiving situation or broadening of interest values eased thereafter in sympathy with corn.

HARDING MAY HIT RETAILERS President Expected to Protest Bringing Disputes to White House. WASHINGTON, May 20.—President Harding prepared some outspoken advice to the business world today which will be delivered In a speech at New York Monday. The rough draft of this address which the President is understood to be working on indicates that he is growing somewhat impatient with the failure of retail prices to go down toward a prewar level. President Harding’s speech, to be delivered at a dinner to be attended by New York’s leading publishers and business men, will deal with business and labor problems chiefly. He will take this occasion, it is said, to discuss the problem which have been placed on his desk by the business and labor world alike and It is likely that he will serve notice on both that they must cease to look to the Federal Government for a panacea. President Harding is trying to stop the habit of bringing all labor disputes and economic troubles to the White House and in his speech he will make another plea for cooperation between employers and employes.
