STOCKSHEAVY lAT WEEK-EDD TRACING CLOSE Financial Conditions Uncertain Over Outcome —Free Selling in Market.

Average Stock Prices

Average price of twenty industrial stocks 1.10 off 108. Average price of twenty rails. $95.25 off 2ft. Bu United Press NEW' YORK, April 25.—With the financial community In an uncertain mood over the business outlook and with the mercantile review's couched In the least enthusiastic language employed so far this year, stocks were generally heavy at the week end. Professionals were quick to capitalize the prevailing mood, offering the industrial shares freely In the first hour. This selling forced recessions from one to three points in Baldwin, Mack Truck, American Can and issues of similar caliber. Commercial solvents shares took anothernose dive and Nash Motors had one of ite frequent sensational movements, this time on the down side. fiut the progress of the decline rought to light increasing reluctnce to sell on the part of large holders of stocks. It was evident that they were not in accordance with the pessimism regarding business prospects rampant in speculative circles. Industrial executives in all lines are confident the country is not facing an excessive slump in commercial activity and that operations will be stabilized on an adequately profitable basis. That this belief is shared by important banking interests was demonstrated by the scarcity of stocks available for covering purposes when prices sold off This condition forced the bear element to bid prices up on themselves toward the close, resulting in an improved tone through the last hour of the session. .

Bu United Press CHICAGO, April 25.—Grain futures closed at the bottom of a sharp decline on the Board of Trade today. Wheat led in the down turn. This depression affected other grains. Wheat was under liquidating pressure by recent buyers. Disappointing cables and excellent crop news from all directions caused free selling. Liquidation in corn was extensive. Led by influential western houses, the majority of the handlers dumped large quantities of grain into pit. Oats followed other grains to a lower close. Provisions weakened further under heavy liquidation. Chicago Grain Table —April 25 — ’ WHEAT— Prev. Open. High. Low. Close, close.
