MOTOR SHARES MOST ACTIVE OF OFFERINGS Buying Movement Is Inaugurated and Low Priced Issues Advance. Special to Indiana Daily Time 9 and Philadelphia Public Ledger. Ky MONITOR. KEW YORK, March 22.—Uneven price movements in a market that showed a substantial diminution of activity, furnished the features of today’s session. Here and there the list developed strength but the exhibitions were not particularly impressive and the general undertone was irregular and uncertain. Strong spots were furnished chiefly by the specialties, and included Lima Locomotive, Manhattan Shirt, American Ice, International Paper, International Motors and a few others of less prominence. A feature of the low priced motor shares was a big buying movement and a moderate advance in Willys Overland, while General Motors broke out of Its rut and sold at a higher level than it has reached in several months. In the early trading, a good deal of strength was displayed by the independent steels, with buying Inspired by the extremely favorable statement Issued by ihe rethlehem Steel Corporation. Ilethlehem Steel B. Midvale and Gulf States were active and strong In the forenoon, hut shared in the subsequent reaction. Studebaker registered anew high level Pi I*ls, and Chandler, taking into consideration the recent loss of its dividend, also made anew top. The rails were inclined to dullness, the chief feature being furnished by New Haven which developed striking activity in the afternoon, closing at the top after an advance of more than two points. Pullman Company also was in good demand at rising prices. It was thought that the rails were held in check owing to the disposition to await the action of the Northern Pacific directors. No significance was attached to the rise in call money to 4% per cent as it was ascribed to the cashing of checks for income tax payments that are returning to the banks, thus causing temporary stringency.—Copyright, 1022, by Public Ledger Company.

STOCKS MAINTAIN IRREGULAR TONE Heavy Sale3 Cause Reactions During Final Trade. NEW YORK, March 22.—The stock market closed irregular today. A sharp rally of 3 points in Bethlehem Steel “B” to anew high price for the year of 70, gave a strong tone to the market during the greater part of the last hour. Near the close, heavy sales in many of the leading issues caused quick reaction of from one to two points. Bethlehem Steel “B’’ then yielded to 68%. Mexican Petroleum was in large supply, falling to 120 and Pan-American Petroleum dropped over 2 points to 54. Northern Pacific rallied 2 points to 77%. United States Steel, after touching 97. fell to 94, and Stlidebaker dropped over 1 point to 103. Government bonds were unchanged and railway and other bonds steady. Total sales of stocks for the day were 974,300 shares. (By Thomson A McKinnon.) —March 22 During the past few days the stock market has displayed considerable irregularity. This Is not surprising when you consider the series of large days that we have recently had during which time there must have been a considerable change in the personnel of stock owners. During such a period there is always a disposition by original buyers to part with at leas: a portion of their holdings and the stock being taken by new buyers leaves the technical position of the market in a less favorable position. And it is probably due to this fact that an increasing number of professional traders have taken a position against the market and have at frequent intervals sold stocks, in expectation of substantial reaction, but so far they have not met witli any success. The market has shown a wonderful resistance and demonstrated its ability to take care of Itself even in the face of adverse news, such as example, the official order calling for the coal strike. This afternoon the Northern Pacific directors are to act on the dividend on this stock and if this should prove to be adverse to the market, It may give us another test to be determined tomorrow morniug. From a general economic standpoint, conditions are developing favorably. Washington advices of an expected advance in commodity prices and with advances already noted in steel and iron and other commodities, as well ns food products, we are justified in looking forward to a more profitable business this yen r. Therefore a reaction will probably be welcomed by the many who have sold out their stocks, as an opportunity to replace them. TWENTY STOCKS AVERAGE.

GRAIN VALUES CLOSE LOWER Buying of Wheat G*od— Offerings Are Limited. CHICAGO, March 22.—Grain prices elosed higher on the Chicago Board of Trade today. There was fair buying in wheat, while offerings were not large. „ Weather conditions in the Southwest were fair, causing a slight weakness at the opening. Trade in corn and oats was narrow. Provisions were lower. May wheat opened off %c at $1.3.4% and closed up *%c. Juljv wheat opened unchanged at sl.lß, closing up l%c. May corn opened off %c at 00c and closed up l%c. July corn opened at 62%c, off %c, and elosed up l%c. May oats opened at 37%e. off %c, closing up %e. July oats opened off %c at 89%c and closed up %e. (By Thomson A McKinnon.) —March 22 Wheat —English wheat markets rallied moderately from an early decline, tut private cable 3 suggest that there will be no pronounced strength in the United Kingdom until the parcels of Argentine and Australian wheat now there and in transit find a permanent resting place. Values here have been inclined to accept color from Liverpool cables, but some help nns been given the market by one or two claims of poor outlook for the new' crop ir. western Kansas. There is no question but (hat the market will encounter reports of this nature, but anything received at tile present time is premature. There were indications of foreign buying of the futures in Winnipeg, but export business so far as the Atlantic seaboard was concerned was dormant, with the exception of some buying of Argentine wheat now on passage by Germany. Kansas City noted foreign inquiry for flour, l ut doinesiltie trade, especially the Northwest, was considered poor. Market gives some evidence of having become tired of theories of exhaustion, which are not being confirmed, but at the same time there Is no complete swinging over to the idea of an abundance of supplies. At tlie present there is just enough foreign buying and inquiry to hold values steady, blit not enough to bring about pro- j nouneed strength. Pending developments. | market is likely to prove erratic, but | we think will not uncover any great strength until it is beginning to be proved that the world is going to run short of wheat before the new crop. Corn and Oats—-Very light receipts of co'rn have been followed by a lack of offerings in the futures market, therefore, prices sympathetic with wheat. Despite fie small receipts, demand from shippers is slow, elevators are reluctant buyers because of insufficient elevator room, the result being a cash market at a carrying charge discount under May. Although the present shipping demand is slow, there were good inquiries for shipment after the opening of navigation. Exporters are showing a little more interest in oats, being now willing to be less strict In their requirements as to weight per measured bushel. Export sales heretofore have been on the basis of thirty-six-pound oats: inquiries are now in the market for thirty-two-pound oats. Major portions of the accumulations arc so light in weight as to he undesirable. These markets display no individuality and will follow wheat within a narrow range. Provisions —The slowing down in the demand for cash products is now being reflected in th.e hog market. Liquidation, especially jn lard, seems to be going on, about the Only demand being from investment and appearing only on the declines.

Today, the selling of March contracts gave the market a very easy appearance, and this, coupled with the favorable weather in the greater part of the belt, induced some selling of the later months by commission houses. ..The stock here is increasing, and this is a factor at the moment in the uear position. There is no reason at this time for any violent fluctuations, but considering the fact that we are going to have limited supplies at the end of this season, and with all of the uncertainties surrounding anew crop, the opportunities ought to be on the long side and we therefore continue to favor the buying side on reactions.
