STOCK CLOSE AT BEST POINTS SINCE RECOVERY @ Sharpest Rebounds Noted in General List for Months,

Daily Stock Letter

(Bv Thomson A- McKinnon NEW YORK. May "4. —Week-end trade reviews an' depressing. Executives of some steel I’Oii'inif are optimist!*?. With the exception of Judge Gary, who usually is candid, these executives fro on the quiry that it would be a violation of the law to say anyth,ns that was not bullish and for that reason these statements do not carry conviction. We do not have to ak any one about the present, stale of things. A Etroll through automobile salesrooms, counting the number of ears, will disclose one of the reasons why the steel industry is down to BO per cent of capacity. Those who are opposed on principle to short, selling would havo something to think about if it was not for th** short interest in this market: it is the sole support. R\j t nitrri Pres* NEW YORK, May 24.—Stop loss orders against contracts on the short side were caught in profusion at the start of the second hour in Wall Street today and the drive against the extended bear following in the market developed into a rout. Not for months has the street witnessed such sharp rebounds in t list. IWeovery, in the motor stocks and accessory shares was vigorous, which was made all the more remarkable by the fact that a Detroit dispatch which spoke of factory arrangements which indicated that Ford intended to suspend Saturday work during the summer. Recoveries running from 2 to 5 points from the recent low's took place among the industrial leaders and the whole list maintained a strong tone to the close. Some let-up in the pact of upward movement took place in the final dealings and "slight recessions from the day’s best levels were experienced by the active industrials. The undertone of the general list continued strong and prices closed at close to the highest figures reached on the current recovery. The market dosed higher: U. S.

WHEAT ADVANCES BEST IN WEENS Other Grains Close Slightly Lower Than Start. liy l nittd Press CHICAGO. May 24. Wheat finished higher, other grains lower on the Board of Trade. Wheat advanced to the best figures in several weeks, but at the close encountered profit sales which caused fractional recessions. The bulge was due to general reports of unfavorable weather and crop conditions. Heavy sales to store and resale by leading eastern houses at cents below replacement caused easiness in corn, although crop news was bullish. Oats, followed corn and closed lower. Heavy sales were made to store indicating poor cash demand. Provisions closed dull and easy with hogs. Chicago Grain Table —May 24 WHEAT— Prev Open. High bow. Close close.

On light receipts, hog prices remained steady to a nickel higher. Heavyweights were being quoted at $7.55 to $7.60. In the last two days there has beena marked preference for this class. In Friday's trade they brought 15 and 20 cents more than other classes. Mixed lots were going at S7.*() and 57.55. The bulk of sales were made at $7.50 and the top price was $7.65. One fairly large drove of porkers was being held in an effort to sell at $7.70. Sows were steady at $6.85 to $7 for smooths, and $6.50 to $6.75 for roughs. Figs brought $6.75 and down to $5. The hog market for the week has shown a downward tendency in general. Monday the highest price of the year, SB, was paid. From then on prices declined 10 and 15 cents at a time until Friday a low of $7 40 was reached. The decline was noticed in all classes. Heavy receijjts and lighter demand wits the apparent reason for ttie drop. Saturday's receipts, 3,000. Hold overs, 2,478. Less than 200 cattle were in the pens, hardly enough to give the market a fair test, but prices were inclined to be steady. Steers $11.25 and cows and heifers at $6 to $9.50., The cattle trade has shown little fluctuation during the week. Lighter stuff was inclined to drop, but other classes remained fast. After a price trim last Saturday, the calf market resumed its regularity' again on Monday. T|he week witnessed but slight variations. There has always been a few choice lots bringing $11.50, but the general top has been sll, with the bulk of sales being made at $10.50. Saturday's receipts, 200. Sheep receipts amounted to three. Nevertheless, buyers said the market was steady. Spring lambs, sl6; good to choice ewes, $6.50. The lookedfor increase in activity in this department materialized only partly during the week.

John Wilson, 15,>5 College Ave., had just opened the station for the day* and was going out to put up a sign when the bandit met him fit the door. The bandit ordered Wilson back in the station.

DULLNESS CAUSED BY BONUS BILL PASSAGE Elections Exert No Traceable Marks on Bond Trade. The passage of the bonus bill over the President’s veto, although pretty generally anticipated, may prove rather disturbing to business. Financially, however, the result seems to be dullness rather than liquidation. N Politics themselves have taken rather anew turn. The President's lack of influence over Congress must hurt him somewhat in the popular esteem. Yet because of the drift toward conservatism in the opposition party the dangers to business appear to be either unchanged or else diminishing. Presidential elections have little or no traceable influence upon the bond market. About the only special feature of election years proves to be a summer reaction in bond prices, and a like summer reaction occurs in such a majority of other years that perhaps this feature is merely coincidence.—Moody’/ Investors' Service. The German super-gun that pound ed Paris during the war is cred ited witn a range of seventy-five miles, as compared with the twenty-two-mile maximum range of American fourteen-inch naval glins. Cultivation of semi-arid lands does not cause any appreciable difference in the rainfall in those regions, according to the records of the Department of Agriculture. Scientists say that a, fall in the mean annual temperature of Europe of 9 degrees Fahrenheit would bring back the glacial period and cover the continent with vast sheets of ice.
