STEEL IS LEADER IN NEW RECOVERY OF GENERAL LIST Drive on Studebaker Fails to Produce Expected Results. SUGARS SHOW ACTIVITY Oils Break Into Center of Speculative Stage With New Gains. The WALL STREET JOURNAL NEW YORK, March 24.—Other developments over the week-end were overshadowed by the appearance of United States Steel’s 1623 report showing the corporation in the strongest position in its history, with working capital of $570,841,000, an increase of *34.570.000 over 1922. Steel common responded to this extraordinary exhibit by spurting 1\ to 100%, stimulating the whole industrial list. Bethlehem Steel. Republic and other prominent independents took a leading part in the early recovery. Sugars also were especially strong in response to the vitality displayed by the raw sugar market. First Hour Professionals tried to nullify the good effect of the steel report by resuming their drive against Studebaker, which was forced to a further new low in movement at 91 %. But this maneuver was frustrated by the appearance of a brisk demand for the oil shares which developed group buoyancy around the close of the first hour. New highs on the present recovery by Simms at 14%, Atlantic Refining at 120%. Pnillips at 41 Vi,: Houston at 71% and Cosden at 36V*. Second Hour American Woolen was the stock singled out for professional attack in ihe late morning. This issue was forced to anew low on the movement at 69% on a drive which caught a number of stop loss orders at .0. This movement however, failed to disturb the general list which continued to be characterized by an improving tendency. Norfolk & V\ extern was the feature of the rails, regaining nearly 8 points to 128% on reassurance regarding the probable consummation of the lease to Pennsylvania Industrials were sustained i.y the impressive action of steel common. Noon Hour The rallying tendency among leading favorites manifest a growing tendency in the noon dealings in which a large number of indiv. '.ual stocks rather sharp rebounds from the morning lows. Professional pres--ure showed a imrked decrease, despite the fact that the volume of trading was not so groat In the late morning. Studebaker, which was I made the object of th" morning's profeinnal drive, showed marked recuperative powers and attracted c*.n siderable attention by its firmness. Fourth Hour Steadiness still characterized the main body o fstocks in the ejarly afternoon furnishing the background for a number of special moves in individual stocks. Woolworth had a remarkable advance 10% points to a record high at 344 while Kresge jumped 19 Vz to 369%. These gains stirred up demand for other merchandising issues such aa Department Stores which advanced to 91 and Associataed Dry Goods which sold at 97% against last week's low of 6374. Studebaker was the leader In better action displayed by the motors. rally ng 1% from the morning low. Twenty active industrial stocks on Saturday averaged 96.72, off .15 per cent.

Practically all the good tiogs moved at *7.80, but n sufficient number brought S7.SB to include that figure in the bulk of sales and at least one load of fancies commanded a top of $7.90, compared with Saturday's top of *7.80 and the predominating price of $7.75 for all weights and classes. Shippers established the prices and local killers took what they could get. but the number they were able to buy was small as the shipper demand was equal to the receipts. Pigs held firm at $7.60 down for choice kind* while rows advanced a quarter at $6.75 for smooth kinds with occasional sales at a premium over this figure. Receipts barely touched 4.000, Inclusive of thirty-•our holdovers, due to the soft condition of roads in the local market aiea as a result of Sunday's rain and last week's snow. The > day’s prices touched the highest previous levels of ths year. Trading in the cattle market was on a very active scale due to the fact that about one half the receipts of 900 head was composed of steers for which the market recently has been very receptive. Prices for steers continued steady to strong and strength In this grade served to bolster prices for the le3s fortunate butcher grades. Due to a continued slump in the Eastern demand for veal, prices for calves were weak to a half dollar lower at sl2 for choice kinds and sll to $11.50 for the bulk. Receipts 500.

SLIGHTWEAKNESS SHOWS IN GRAINS Wheat Fails Easy Prey to Bear Contingent Btf United Financial CHICAGO, March 24.—Grain* opened unchanpod ‘o fractionally lower on the Board of Trade tofiay. Support was lacking- in wheat at the i outset and the grain fell easy prey to j bears. The lower Liverpool opening i and large world shipments made hpld- ■ orfi attempt to reduce their lines. A few unfavorable crop reports came from the soft winter wheat area east ;of the Mississippi. The Southwest j continued satisfactory. Corn folt the weakness in wheat [ and lack of demand. Traders looked j for liberal country movement wlthreports of improved roads. Rain in | the Argentine has retarded picking on the new crop. Good cash demand, delayed set-ding land light,movement r&usod steadiness ! In oats. Provisions slumped with hogs despite higher cables. Domestic trade was slow.

March 24.—A leader In the grain trade feel* that wticat hue acted remarkably well but that corn has behaved miserably. Important prior movements nre not likely at thie time therefore they offer little encouragement for bullish sentiment in wheat. While seeding of oats Southwest hae been delayed on account of hagvy mows, that section ha* more moisture, which usually means good crops. Clearance of wheat from Argentine port* continues surprisingly large. The movement is maintained In huge volume despite large clearance and port Blocks havo lurther increased. Large Canadian supples coupled with till* country's overburdening supplies and slow foreign demand are against any permanent upturn in wheat.

LOWER VALUE OF worn IS OFFSEI BY OTHER GRAINS Government Figures Show Farmer's Position as Greatly improved, The crop reporting board ot the United States Department of Agriculture has released its report of grain stocks on farms March 1, 1924. The total value of wheat, corn, oats and barley on farms on that date was $1,236,136,427. This is $78,753,111 more than last year. Stocks of these four grains on farms March 1, 1923, were valued at $1,157,383,316. Wheat stocks have a lower value, but the stocks of corn, oats and barley are worth more than a year ago. Corn Supplies Lower Supplies of corn are nearly 80,000,000 bushels less than March 1, 1923: oats 23,000,000 bushels less and barley 22,000,060 bushels less. The wheat stock on farms was reported as being close to 22,000,0<p0 bushels greater than a year ago. Stocks of grain on farms are potential Income, as this grain eventually will be sold, or fed to livestock which |in turn will be sent to market. The' figures contained in this Government release, therefore, mean that farmers, | so far a t these grains are concerned, are $78,100,000 better off than they were a year ago. The farm buying power is by no means completely Indicated by the ! Government report on com. w^hoat, 1 oats and barley. The cotton crop was ! one of the most valuable in history i and tobacco is also bringing good [ prices. The livestock situation is log- , | ically working out to a condition ad- ; vantageous to the farmer, and viewed 1 from every angle, the farm buying ! power is becoming daily strength- j j ened. Livestock Increase The department estimates the value of crops and livestock at $16,064,000.- ! 000. This is based on a preliminary estimate of production and average prices at the farms. It includes the value of crops fed to livestock during 1928, computed at $3,861,000,000, but even after deducting this amount the estimated value of crops and live stock reaches the large amount of j more than $12,000,000. This is approximately a billion and a quarter dollars greater than in 1922 and is a definite indication of the farmers' present condition.

FIRMNESS DOMINATES EARLY CURB TRADING Some Irregularity, However t Show's Up Around Noon. Bu United Financial NEW YORK, March 24.—The prevailing tone of the curb market in | the forennon session today waa one of firmness but a tendency toward irregularity showed towards noon. On the whole there were no wide swings in any group, pool operators apparently being satisfied to bide their time until the trend becomes better defined. Industrials were better than oils, with Colorado Power the leader. Dubiller got to 28 early, up %, but receded to 27%. Durant recovered to 22, a gain of a full point. Fractional gains showed in Lehigh Power securities, Hudson and Manhattan and j Kresge. Standard Oils manifested a tendency | to remain sluggish with no point of j interest. Independents were mixed.

HEARING TUESDAY ASKED BY SHANK (Continued From Page 1) was Incurred by us on account of this ground being taken by the city. The expense attached to the moving of these houses practically left me notohlng for the ground, which I can show you when I appear before your committee. Ground Condemned "The ground was condemned by three members of the park board. I went to the appraisers, Mr. Lynn Milligan. Emerson W. Ohaille and P. A. Havelick, who were duly appointed by law, and told them myself that if anything to give me the •worst of it. Mr. Milligan told me himself that If I could get the work done for what they allowed me. he would buy me the best suit of clothes In Indianapolis. "I demand an Immediate hearing in my case. I want to help you all I can in securing any evidence of any possible wrongful act of any member of my boards or any city employe. Please arrange this hearing for Tuesday. March 25. at 10 a. m., if possible. I can meet the committee at any place with all the records and papers which will fully show me guilty of no wrong doing in this entire matter. Some important matters require that this hearing be held at once. LEWIS SHANK." Ray Issues Reply Councilman Ray replied to Shank: "Mayor Shank made a statement to the effect that he would demand an investigation of me based upon a plumbing bill which he paid me for plumbing work done by me on some houses owned by Mr. Shank. He at the same time claims that neither he nor anybody connected with his administration is guilty of any official legal wrong. Does he mean that the difference between what he thinks I should have charged him for the work and what he paid represents a bribe rfiven me by the mayor to influence Ine in my official capacity? "If this be so, how does it it square i with his declaration of innocence of I official wrong? If this is not what he i means, why did he not refuse to pay i the bill and then we could have settled the matter in court? I do not desire to try these charges 1 through the press, but insist upon them being considered byi a legai tribunal, but certainly the mayor should make his charges concerning me through the press, where he evidently desires to try his case more Ispecific. Certainly the payment of the $2,280 is the payment of considerable money by one who claims to be a poor man and I have yet to learn that the mayor is the lineal descendent of Santa Ciaua. Councilman Lloyd D. Claycombe was named chairman of the investigating committee by Wise in a special meeting Saturday afternoon. Councilmen Buchanan, Bernd, Ray and Wise constitute the rest of the committee. Joseph R. Roach, attorney. 1206 National City Bank Bldg., has been retained as legal counsel to assist Ray, lt is understood. It is believed Roaoh was consulted In drafting charges which Ray presented the council Saturday. Councilmen indicated today that the hearings would be public after the course was once determined. The investigation may be held in the council chamfcers of the city hall. City officials, without exception, denied any foundation in charges of Ray. Charles Coffin, president of the board of worltte, denied the board had been in collusion with any contractor. William H. Freeman and Dr. M. J.

Oakland Ave., credit manager for G. A. Schnull & Cos. Ryan was challenged for cause by the State when he said he had formed an opinion. He was excused. Frank D. Hatfield, 336 Harvard PI., automobile dealer, took Ryan's place. Hatfield Knows Officials Hatfield said he knew all the members of the State highway commission and some other State officials. He said his company had sold twenty-five Fords to the commission. He said he had formed an opinion in the case from reading evidence in the McCray. bankruptcy case In Federal Court concerning the relations of Governor McCray and the Indiana board of agriculture. Judge Chamberlin reluctantly sustained Challenge for cause made by Eph Inman, special prosecutor, and excused Hatfield. "Personally, I think Mr. Hatfield would make a good juror," Chamberlin said. “But, under the circumstances, I do not see how I can do otherwise than sustain the challenge.” "What do you think about it?” the Judge asked Martin Hugg, one of the attorneys for the defense. “I don't like to be placed In your honor's position,” Hugg replied. "But if I were, I undoubtedly would sustain the challenge.” James H. Makin, 832 E. Sixty-Sec-ond St., president and general manager of Broad Ripple Park, Ino., replaced Hatfield in the Jury box. Governor Hae Been Satisfied After court adjourned, Governor McCray said that he has been thoroughly satisfied with the jury as It stood on several occasions. Nearly all the prospective Jurors examined have been excused because they declared they had opinions as to the guilt or Innocence of McCray. Only one of the entire number thus far examined has said he did not read of the case. He was excused peremptorily by the State. Two Weeks More As soon as a jury is selected attorneys for the State are expected to make their opening statements. These piobably will be followed Immediately ■with the examination of witnesses. It is said that approximately 100 witnesses have been summoned by the State, but all of them may not be used. It is expected the triad will last at least two weeks after a jury is obtained.
