BONUS VETO IS HEARTENING 10 # STOCK MARKET Oils, as a Group, Show Best Tone in Opening-of Trade,

Daily Stock Letter

(By Thomson & McKinnon) NEW YORK. May 16.—For the next lewdays the market will undoubtedly take its tone from Washington advices. The bonus hill and tax legislation are of such vital importance to the country that their ac--1 ceotance or rejection is of the utmost interest. Should the bonus veto be upheld and some satisfactory agreement be reached in the conference on the tax bill, the market is in shape to make excellent response. On the other hand, decisive action antagonistic to executive ideas, would in all probability mean a continuation of the present apathy in business which in turn would be reflected in the security market. By United Press NEW YORK," May 16.—The volume of trading was fairly heavy, with prices generally higher, helped by the veto of the soldier bonus bill. Ralls were fairly active and firm, while the general run of industrials showed fractional gains over the previous closing. Baldwin sold up to 10794, but soon lost a half point. Studebaker ruled around 32. Oils as a group showed the best tons, with good gains in Marland and Pan-American. •The trade news /was mixed on the Jti reports relating to booking of some good railroad orders, while the automobile district reports a lowering of stocks of cars in dealers’ hands, largely through the instrument of curtailing the factory- shipments.

Atchison Record High Stocks developed greater activity at higher prices in the late morning under inspiration of a buying movement among the investment rails. Atchison achieved a record high for 1924 at 103 Va and Union Pacific went Into new high ground on the move, at 132%. Atchison’s strength was based on the belief that directors will in some way increase the stockholders’ return at the July- meeting. Upward revisions of the present $6 annual rate, an extra cash distribution or a stock dividend have all been talked vt.

POOR CROP NEWS BOLSTERS WHEAT All Grains Close Higher— Provisions Rally, By United Press CHICAGO. May 16.—Grains made good recovery from an early dip and closed higher on the Board of Trade today. Wheat values were strengthened by unfavorable crop news, despite the pall of legislative possibilities that hung ..heavily over the market. Corn was helped by strength in wheat, high cash premiums and less optimistic views regarding increased shipments. Oats lacked any individual features, but closed fractionally higher with other, grains. Following numerous dips, provisions rallied late and finished at the opening mark.

FARM BUREAU READY ON ‘VICTORY WEEK’ DRIVE Final Attempt May 19 to Reach Eleven Million Wheat Mark. With only one week left in which to pool the minimum quota of 11,000,000 bushels of Indiana’s noynal wheat crop, the Indiana Farm Bureau Federation today announced plans for a “Victory Week’’ drive to be conducted May 19 to 24. Nearly 5,000 farm bureau leaders in almost every community of the State will constitute a- soliciting committee which will call on growers who have not yet joined the wheat pool plan. When 40 per cent of the wheat is signed up it Mill be sold through a cooperative marketing agency to be known as the Indiana Wheat Growers Association. About 26 per cent of the wheat is already signed, or 7,000,000 bushels. Forty per cent or more is pooled in Gibson, Du Bois, Vigo, Sullivan, Clay, Putnam, Jackson, Vermillion and Boone counties. POTATO POOL PLANNED State Growers Consider Starting National Movement. According to Wheat Pool News, potato growers are members of the various State cooperative potato marketing associations are now considering the organization of a national potato exchange which will correlate the various activities of the member associations. The first steps looking toward this end were taken at the recent cooperative marketing conference in Washington.
