MONDAY, MARCH 10,1924

BEARS ADOPT NEW THEORY IN DRIVE ON GENERAL LISE Mondays Regarded as Excellent Days for Forcing Recessions. SEVERE BREAKS OCCUR Davison, Chemical, Baldwin, Studebaker and Others Lose Ground. The WALL STREEI JOURNAL NEW YORK, March 10.—Events over the week-end laid further stress on the political character of the controversy at Washington and Its utter lack of connection with the fundamen tal business situation. In many sections of the country a popular reaction toward Coolidge was reported as a result of the mud-slinging tactics at the national capital. Oils were the strongest group in the early dealings, reflecting the 15-cent advance in Eastern crude and anew high .on the cur--ent re(V'very was reached by Standvrd of New Jersey and djpiclair. First Hour Professionals renewed their hammering of the industrials toward the end of the first hour, operating on the theory that over the last few months Monday has almost Invariably shown reactions. Davison Chemical was driven below 50, against a high of last week, and recessions of from 1 to 3 points took place in Studebaker. Baldwin and other popular trading specialties. Before the general list became unsettled, Norfolk & Western went into new high ground for the year at 119%. Secoud Hour Floor reports bore out the belief that the morning selling was almost wholly professional and the market exhibited a much steadier tone around noon. Weakness was In evidence in a few stocks, but selling was abviously due to special causes. Coca-Cola went to anew low for the year at 67 on reports that its cash holdings had been substantially depleted. American Sugar dropped to 56 % against last week's high of 58%, the drop reflecting the opinion that operating results when the 1923 report is made public this week will show a rot too highly favorable condition. Noon Hour The list generally marked t|m? during the noon dealings, though professionals lost sight of no opportunity to depress any issues that seemed vulnerable. However, only the nimble were able to garner worthwhile profits, for, while certain stocks gave ground, an unmistakable evidence of the market's underlying strength was found in the whole list's ability to withstand individual attacks. Iregulrarity continued as the keynote of trade. Fourth Hour Professionals bent their efforts after noon toward preventing the steel tonnage statement from bringing about a rally in the general list. Hence, they concentrated their attack in the early afternoon on steel common which was depressed to 101% against last week's high of 100%. This decline created a belief in speculative circles that an unfavorable interpretation might be placed on the fact that the February gain in unfilled orders totaled 114,000 tons as against an increase of 353,000 tons In January. Twenty active industrial stocks on Saturday averaged 92.25, off .36 per cent. Twenty active rails averaged 81.09, off .01 per cent.

GRAINS DISPLAY EARLYWEAKHESS Heavy Liquidation Occurs in Wheat Trading, By United financial CHICAGO, March 10. —Grains displayed underlying weakness in an irregular opening on the Chicago Board of Trade today. Heavy liquidation occurred in wheat after the opening gong and sent prices down fractionally. This was due to fears of unfavorable action in Congress on farm aid bills. Southwestern and central wheat fields are under a two to three-inch snow which, it is stated, will protect the plant from any further damage from a drop in temperature. May corn opened unchanged, while July and September were %c, up to Me, off respectively. Cash handlers continued to move cautiously. Word from lowa said the seed situation in that State was serious. Oats opened unchanged to lower, the weakness being in September. No change was made in the provisions opening. Chicago Grain Table —March 10— WHEAT— Pror. Open. High. Low. Close, close.

All weights and classes brought $7.70, the price paid by packers and local buyers on previous trading, but very few hogs brought $7.75, the price paid by shippers for about one-third Saturday's total receipts. At these figures the market was generally regarded as steady to 5 cents lower. Sows remained unchanged at $6.50 down for smooth kinds and $6.25 down for roughs, but pigs were strong to 25 cents higher at $7 down for tops and $6.75 down for the bulk. A few more than 5,600 head arrived at the yards to swell the day’s total receipts to 6,000, including 334 holdovers, but the demand for outside account was only sufficient to keep prices from dropping below Saturday’s low level. Receipts in the truck division were negligible, due to Sunday’s snow, and were expected by many traders to continue light until the condition of highways improves. Out of thirty loads of cattle received for market, more than fifteen loads consisted of steers, a great many of which were of unusually good quality, and prices in the main were steady to strong, with large buyers active. The selection of prime stock was regarded as the best of any single day in several weeks and buying was on an animated scale with prices tending higher. Receipts, 1,000. Activity and strength featured the calf market with choice veals commanding a top of sl3 and the bulk sl2 to $12.50. Receipts, 500. Prices for both western fed and native fed lambs were 250 higher at $16.25 down for westerns and sl6 down for natives while sheep were unchanged at $9 down.
