STOCKS MOVE UNCERTAINLY; MARKET DULL Scattered Groups or Specialties Furnish Activity and Strength. REDUCTION OF VOLUME Special to Indiana Daily Tims and Philadelphia Public Ledger. BY MONITOR. NEW YOKK, May 25.—Stocks moved in rather uncertain fashion Wednesday with a moderate reduction in the volume of trading-. There were times along in the afternoon when the market was positively dull. Feaures of exceptional activity arid strength were furnished only by specialties or scattered issues in jerg. tain groups. Among these were Allied Chemical, American Tobacco, Crucible, Gulf stales and a few other industrials. Brooklyn Union Gas, Consolidated Gas, Lima Locomotive and North American Company also were strong. There was fi rther activity in Chicago & Alton, but otherwise there was little feature to the rails. The dullness in the rails seems rather surprising in view of the constructive character of the decision by the interstate commerce commission, which apparently has outlined a policy fixing 5 , per cent as a reasonable return on aggregate railroad property value. The expected action by the railway labor board in reducing the common labor scale, it is estimated, will bring about a saving of approximately $50,000 000 in railway operating and maintenance costs. In spite of the apathy of speculation toward the rails, however, well informed sentiment is bullish on this class of securities. The recent activity in Republic Iron and Steel and Midvale was explained by merger plans late in the afternoon. In the case of Republic, this development apparently had been fairly well discounted. The weekly review of the Iron Age was given a favorable interpretation in view of the comment to the effect that current buying is on a larger scale than had been expected, and that demand is some directions is urgent. The statement regarding the small reserve stocks of automobile plants also created surprise.—Copyright, 1022, by Public Ledger Company.

STOCKS HIT NEW HIGH LEVELS Rutland Touches Highest Prices in Years. NEW YORK, May 25.—The market closed strong today. Many stocks moved up to the highest prices of the year. Rutland preferred rose 6 points to 44%. the highest price In many years. United States Alcohol was in large demand, showing a gain of 4 points at 00. The steel issues were somewhat heavy, United States Steel reacting to 100%. Tobacco Products moved up nearly 2 points to 74%. Government bonds were unchanged anil railway and other bonds strong. Total sales of stocks over the day were 1,089,500 shares; bonds, 510,270,000. (By Thomson & McKinnon) —May 25 By the time the stock market opened this morning the public as well as traders had ample opportunity to study the decision of the Interstate Commerce Commission reducing freight rates and evidently come to the conclusion that the situation was not particularly inviting. This had the effect of reducing, to a very material extent, the early volume of business, which usually ai>pears through the various commission houses. Furthermore, we had the announcement that the steel merger had been placed in a peaceful repose l,y the Attorney General and that we will have to wait for Ills final yes or no. This was another element against the market and it was not surprising that before the session bad progressed very far a considerable amount of pressure developed, causing a shrinkage in values, and while considerable support appeared and many issues subsequently moved forward, the general appearance of the market nevertheless remained Irregular and Is at present in a position where it needs conslant. stimulation iu order to attract new buying. The long lines that have been built up during the many months of the market’s advance have created a technical situaticn which cannot be remedied in a moment. There lias been some improvement since the close of last week, but there is need for further improvement, and, so long n< the market is 111 this position there is always the element of chance of some surprise nnrl this makes it advisable to pursue a very conservative course : m,l reduce, rather than increase, commitments on the bulges.

Trade demand 1s here but apparently is not insufficient volume to absorb the offerings which appear to be increasing on the bulges, and, until we have some new crop scare, we continue to feel that It would bo advisable to utilize the bulggs for the acceptance of profits on long cotton.

(By Thomson & McKinnon). —May 23 YVhent—Additional liberal deliveries of obi wheat on May contracts coming on a market devoid of important demand pro.' eipitated considerable liquidation of holdings today. It will be noticed that the nearby deliveries are weaker than the more deferred, due to the fact that an actuality is opposed to a theory. The actuality is the surprisingly free movement of old crop reserve from producing sections, whereas the theory is that importing countries will presumably accept all of the North American crop during the coming year. The September delivery in Chicago is in tlie neighborhood of 28 c'-nts under the Liverpool price. Aud i’t response to this there has been investment buying of Chicago September. The entire mark- t was steadied by the fact that Chicago May wheat is nearer a normal comparison with other terminal markets and with YYtunipeg. but it is uut discoverable that this adjustment has in arty way stimulated the export or milling demand. Crop reports' are generally favorable and the weather in tlio Southwest is clearing. It. is expected that recdpts <f old wheat will be liberal during the balance of the month arid if so it will have a depressing influence, but we are inclined to suggest caution in anticipating lower prices for the new crop cries. In view of the fact that the criti.qil period of the crop is still in the future', European countries have already purchas'd rather freely and, as yet, the American producer is cot an urgent seller. Corn and Gats— Rerent rains over the enru belt have improved soil condition, and tic ti-w crop Is making proper progress. The news as to the new crop of oats is slightly pessimistic. As yet the afterplanting movement of corn has not materialized. There is a fair domestic demand for oats, together with a few sales to exporters. Under these conditions the cash markets display firmness. As yet. nothing has developed to give either of tins; markets any prominence. YVe beli"ve that they will continue to reflect wheat ill a small way. I’rovisioiis—The early weakness Jn grains offset higher Liverpool prices on 1 ar<l and firmness in hogs. Not mm-h interest was displayed iu tlie market. Offerings of deferred deliveries aud of cash meats were light. CHICAGO GRAIN TABLE. -May 24 YY’ITEAT— Open. High. Low.

Blnuvelt, president of the Indiana Coke aud Gas Company, is preparing to make a bitter tight before the Interstate Commerce Commission for the coke dealers of Indiana, regarding the recent approval of the commission rtf .the coke freight reductions between Birmingham, Alabama and Chicago. Telegrams have beeu sent to the commission asking for a rehearing in the matter, inasmuch as it will directly "Kill” the coke industry in Indiana. The commission recently granted a reduction from $0.19 to for coke between the two cities. ’From Terre Haute to Chicago the rate stands a( $2. ‘‘This reduction, if "it takes effect June 1 as set out by the. commission." Biauvelt said Thursday, “will kill the industry here. ‘’lndiana, there are more than 259,000 tons of unmarketed coke. YY'e would not be able to send this to the Chicago markets and hope to compete with the Southern coke with the new freight rates ia effect.”

Washington Briefs

WASHINGTON. May 25—One of Warren Gamaliel Harding’s conspicuous traits throughout his political career has been Litter-end loyalty to his friends. That is why the President will not be stamped, and into any precipitate action or attitude toward Attorney General Dauglix ertv. Their friendship is of the Damon and Pythias type. Crusades like th; one now n. progress against the head ol the Department of Justice are designed to strengthen it, for Mr. Hard. ;-s fealty to his comrades is strongest v- tea they are under fire. At the outset of the President’s precot.vention campaign in 1920 it is related that a group of his cronies at Marion sought to induce him to throw ever Mr. Daugherty as h:s political lieutenant. Tiny r presented he was a liability rather than an asset in Mr. Harding’* budding campaign for the presidential nomination. ”151 rather losp with Harry than win without him," was the eraphatic manner in which Ohio's favorita son closed the interview, Canada's foremost political loaders, representing all the parties in the Dominion, have just joined in a forceful appeal to the country to prorate the objects of the “League of Nations society ii Canada.” The appeal is signed by the late premier. Arthur Moichen; by IPs predecessor. Sir Robert l’ordenT by the present premier, W.®L. MackcnsicKing. and by Sir George E. Foster. T. A. Crt-rra. Henri S. Belaud, N. W. Rowell aud Charles J. Doherty. Their manifesto reals: "We have associated ourselves with this society because we believe in the purpose and aims of the League of Nations. It is* out belief that the world's p*;>ce will in*t be assured until tlie conscience of humanity shall constrain government ttt'Ji nations, under pain of outlawry*, to bring their differences to tlie council board fustead of tlie battlefield. Under present conditions, tho League of Natrons is tho most effective end. indeed, the only available instrument for that purpose. It can only be made thoroughly effectual if it is supported by an informed and intelligent pql.Ac opinion In every nation that is a member of the league.*!

Certain Republican nutborSticS who read in recent signs 0” the political times a growing discontent with Republican leadership in Congress envisage wilh equanimity the prospective protnotion of Representative Frank W. Mondell to the Senate. Their calculations are based upon the expectation that the present House majority leader will successfully contend for the seat in the Senate now held by John V. Kendrick, Democrat of Wyoming. if Mr. Mondell returns to Congress fls a United >:atcs Senator the way will ba paved fur anew Republican captain la (lie House. Many fellow Republicans, who cherish high regard for Mr. Mondell in a personal senso, do not approve Ins tactics ns the majority chieftain. They are inclined (/> charge him with main responsibility for the displeasure in which the RepublVau Congress today il Mi by the country at large. : Ever and anon more or less clrcum* stantial tales reverberate through Wash* ington to tlm effect that a change in the Democratic leadership in tHt? Senate is in prospect, ton. The reports date from the Four-I’ower Treaty in March when Senator Underwood, nominal commander of the Democratic forces in the Upper House, found arrayed against him the overwhelming majority of his own followers. The bulldog fighting spirit and parliamentary finesse revealed on that occasion by Senator Robinson of Arkansas are sai/1 to have commended themselves highly to Woodrow Wilson. That circumstance appears to be responsible for the theory that the sage of #■ street would welcome Mr. Robinson’s succession to the Democratic leadership in the Senate. Mr. Wilson selected the Arkansas Demosthenes for the permanent chairmanship of the Democratic national Cua vention at San Francisco in 1920.
