STRENGTH OF U. S. RESERVE BANK IS BOOSTTOSTGCKS Ratio Rises to 86 as Compared to 82,2 Last Week. The WALL STREET JOURNAL NEEW YORK, April 19.—Prices were stimulated in the early dealings by a number of constructive developments which took place over the holiday. Further extraordinary improvement was reported in the nation’s banking strength, the ratio of the Federal Reserve Bank rising to S6. as against 82.2 the previous week An advance in the ratio of the whole system to 80.6, against T 9.3 a week ago. brought the figure to scarcely more than 1 per cent below the best level reached since the United States went into the war against Germany. Another important announcement was the upward revision of Smackover Crude, placed in effect by the Texas Company, which afforded an answer to the bearishness recently circulated regarding the oil industry. Oil, Baldwin and othr industrial leaders reached new highs on the week's recovery in the initial trading, and the general market displayed a confident tone. First Hour With many traders taking a holiday over Easter, the volume of dealings was considerably reduced in the first hour and price changes in the main bcdy of stocks were without significance. About the only speculative interest was attached to special movements in Individual stocks. Yellow cab experienced another nose dive, dropping to as against a high of 63*4 in the preceding session. Atlanta Refining broke seven points to 113. reflecting its unfavorable showing in 1923 when a balance of $4.17 a share was earned on the preferred as compared with $11.85 a share on the common in 1922. Stewart-tYarner displayed better resistance around 71, responding to the expectation that directors will declare the regular quarterly dividend at Monday’s meeting. Closing Hour Prices in the main body of stocks were virtually motionless in today's brief session, which was sandwiched in between the Friday holiday and the week-end. Many of the bigger operators remained away from the Street and the volume of dealings suffered accordingly. But a number of spirited movements in individual stocks promised respectable amount of excitement for the interstate speculators who were on band for the day’s proceedings. Conflicting price movements marked the closing dealings. Allied Chemical went Into anew high at 70. Brooklyn Manhattan preferred was at 6234, I U. S. Pipe, 78b*. On the other hand, further selling took place in Atlantic Refining to 110%, a net loss of 9% points. This weakness affected oil shares. Pacific broke more than a point to and other active issues of this class retreated fractionary. Twenty active industrial stocks on Saturday averaged 91.34, up 86 per cent. Twenty active rails averaged 81.64, up .54 per cent. Local Bank Clearings Indianapolis bank ciearinjrs Saturday were $3,005,000: for the week. $18,783,000.

OATS EXCEPTION IN HER GRAIN Wheat and Corn Close Strong, I Bu United Financial CHICAGO. April 19.—Wheat and corn closed strong on the Chicago board of trade today. Oats sagged. Wheat advanced sharply on short covering. Lack of outside demand kept traders out of the pit. Unfavorable crop news and advices from Germany that the Dawes proposal would be accepted gave the market a bullish undertone. There was considerable changing over from May to July, cash sellers buying in the later months. Corn staged a remarkable recovery late, after ruling around the low point of the day for most of the session. This was induced by higher cash premiums and strength in wheat. The cereal market lacked any incentive to buying. Oats was neglected throughout, and despite strength In other grains closed lower. Chicago Grain Table , —April 19— WHEAT— Prev.

B. W. Snow in his latest review calls attention to backward weather in the Canadian Non h west and prospects of seeding being further delayed. A late start, he says, is not suggestive of best results. i Although conceded that short covering was responsible for advances in grain and that reduction in outstanding short interests reduced buying power, sentiment after Thursday's close was less pessimistic. A marked improvement was noted in demand for flour. A leading local miller bought hetvily of spring and hard winter wheat here this week and is after red winter.
