LEADERS RENDER BETTER ACCOUNT OF THEMSELVES 1 ; Professional Attempts to Force Further Decline Fall Flat, CAN AND STEEL REBOUND Bears Find List Unresponsive to Their Drives on Special Stocks, The WALL STREET JOURNAL NEW YORK, March 27.—Stocks j g-ave evidence of a greatly Improved technical position in the early dealings today, leading industrial Issues i rallying from the start of trading. .American Can, in which neavy professional selling proceeded all through ! Wednesday's session, came back sharply to 105 Is, a recovery of nearly two points from the previous close. Steel common 'rebounded to 991* against Wednesday’s low of 98 and other speculative favorites rallied in proportion. Overnight news was of a mixed character so it was evident j that the improvement in the general | list was clearly due to internal conditions created by the over-crowded short Interest. First Hour Stocks continued to give a better account of themselves through the ! first hour. Professional attempts to I renew the decline through drives on I individual stocks like Baldwin and Chandler found the general Jist urj responsive. Wall Street was convinced that the recent pessimism had been overdone, especially in view of | the more favorable character of the Washington news. George F. Baker, chairman of the First National Bank j of New York. Is on his way tt New York from Jekyll Island. This is In--1 teresting news to Wall FStreet. Mr. i Baker has been optimistic and his : friends declare he has not changed his views in the least.

Second Hour Some disturbance was created in the | late morning by an outburst of selling lin the silk stocks, reflecting perslsi tent weakness of the raw silk market, I Van Raalte broke four points to 18 and MaHinson reached anew low on the movement at IS I*. 1 *. Cnsettlement in this group afforded the professionals an opportunity to strike industrial leaders and Baldwin was depressed 1 ’-2 from its early high of 1173*. - Nothing like the heavy selling of the two preceding sessions reappeared. Numerous issues gave indications of inside buying, one of which was Wrlgley. Noon Hour Professionals plied their trade in the noon dealings, but with rather indifferent success as the main body of stocks stubbornly refused to yield sufficent ground to render their efforts profitable. Some individual stocks in vulnerable position were singled out and depressed slightly, but the general list could not be shaken. However, little or no progress was made on the upside, as the support from the aggressive element seemed held in reserve against any emergency and not available for bullish demonstrations. Fourth Hour Increasing steadiness marked the action of the principal stocks in the early afternoon. Bearish professionals found they were making no further headway against issues recently under pressure so they turned their attention to Corn Products which was considered near enough to the year's high to make it vulnerable now that the split up of its .capital has been approved by the stockholders, forcing a slight recession In that Sleek. Twenty active industrial stocks on Wednesday averaged 93.67, off .45 per cent. Twenty active rails averaged 81.40, up .02 per cent.

The advance was generally 10 to 15 cents, though the top paid for a short load of Yorkshires at $7.85 was 20 cents higher than Wednesday’s top of $7.65. Trading opened on a $7.75 basis for all weights and classes, hut shippers soon were paying $7.80 to fill their requirements. The bulk of business, however, was transacted at the opening price of $7.75 at which packers bought their supplies and at which figure a good measure of the shipper bus.ness was done. Sows reflected '.he general Increase by advancing about a quarter at $7 down for smooth kinds and pigs were strong to higher at $7.50 for average kinds and $7.60 for choice kinds. About 100 head of 400pound fancy hogs sold to Kingan & Cos. a' $7.50, a price regarded ns fancy for hogs of this weight. Shippers took the bulk of the days’ receipts, Kingan & Cos., the largest buyer, having gotten no more than 1,000 head. A slightly weaker feeling prevailed in the cattle department and prices tended slightly lower on most grades, due to a weak close In Chicago Wednesday and a somewhat apathetic disposition of local buyers who obtained heavy supplies on the early week market. About 900 head arrived at the yards and a clearance was effected only* with some difficulty.

peet is for s largo yield, Vrico Current's weekly resume declared. A reduction of 50,000.000 to 00,000.000 bushels in the exportable surplus of Canadian and United States wneat this year is ' possible, a leading expert believes. No important recovery in wheat prices is regarded likely until some strong incentive to buy is developed. May is regarded as In a particularly weak position. From Aug. 1 to Maxell 4. Rusia shipped 16,960.000 bushels of wheat, as compared with 27,200,000 bushels previously estimated, and 31.120.000 bushels of rye, instead of 20,880,000, Brootnhall reported. Industrial and southwestern demand for corn har greatly diminished. Therefore, light receipts in that section do not figure in the market at present. While some traders argue that corn has not been thorough: a liquidated, close students say there is little pressure and look for heevy buying to continue around 77c for May.

"Yes, he said he was going to get ! all the oil lands the Democrats Lad left.” ""Who did Hamon give money to In ! connection with the convention?” "He said he gave $25,000 to DaughI erty> $25,000 to Will Hays, $25,000 to , Penrose and $25,000 to a man named j Manning—or something like that — | from Ohio. Belief Well Founded "Hamon believed that money would [ buy everything. It seems to have ; been pretty well founded in some instances. "I liked Jake Hamon in spite of his i lack of ideals. He was the only law- | yer in Lawton, Okla., who extended j a helping hand to me when I came out 1 of prison. “Jake expected to be president of ! thet United States some day.” j “On what ticket did you plan to run for Governor?” Senator Buraum, j New Mexico, asked. "Democratic.” "Why did Hamon want you to run on the Democratic ticket?’* “That didn’t make much difference in Oklahoma.” Want to Disrupt Party j "What did Hamon want you to run for Governor for?” Bursum asked. “He wanted me to disrupt the Democratic party so he could carry the State for Harding. Well, I didn’t go into the deal. Harding did carry the State. Hamon said that cost him half a million ! dollars.” "Wasn’t Hamon for Wood?” | "No, he never liked Wood.” Jennings was then excused. FIVE “MILLIONAIRES” UNNAMED Committee Refuses to Let Roxie Stinson Tell Who Men Are. By United Pre WASHINGTON, March 27.—The j Senate Daugherty committee today refused to let Roxie Stinson name tho five men she said yesterday made i J 33,000,000 in a Sinclair oil deal. Daugherty’s counsel intimated that "the rvune of a President of United ! 3tat’a was among them” and in a hot | claslj, with Senator Wheeler, demanded j tho right to go into the matter. Wheeler was absnt, and though at

one stage it looked as though he and former Senator Chamberlin might come to blows. Daugherty’s lawyers were not permitted to open the question. The committee, before putting her on the stand, asked President Coolldge to order Daugherty to turn over flies relating to gun-running to Mexico during the Cantu revolution in 1922, which Daugherty is withholding on the ground of publicity.
