DROPTN PORKERS OFFSETS PREVIOUS GAIN

MAIN INDUSTRIALS LOWER ONE-FIFTH POINT IN AVERAGE * \ Belief Expressed That Rail Aggressiveness Led to Covering. Bu United Press NEW YORK, Feb. 17.—Notwithstanding the great strength of the general market on a turnover of approximately 2,500,000 shares on Wednesday, the main body of industrials lost ground, the Dow-. Tones compilation closing at a recession of one-fifth of a point at 157.41. This decline was interpreted to mean that Industrials were being sold under cover of aggressive demonstrations in the rails. This conclusion led to additional offerings in many sections of the industrial list in early dealings, creating considerable irregularity in this division. Rails, however, continued strong. Operations for a rise broadened around noon, spreading to many sections of the industrial list. General Motors was the feature of strength among pivotal issues, advancing to | new high on the movement at 157%, ' up %, on buying by Wilmington interests. Sugar shares were in active demand, responding to slight hardening of raw prices. South Porto Rico spurted 3 to 172, Great Western to 113%, and American Sugar 1%, to 54%. Canadian Pacilc led the upswing in standard rails, establishing new high for the year at 184%, up 4%. Texas & Pacific was prominent in the lower priced division, moving up to its highest since 1919 at 67, up 3% from the previous close. Strength was believed to be discounting early establishment of a 35 dividend rate. Missouri racific, which owns 70 per cent of Texas & Pacific common, and will, therefore, benefit substantially from dividend action by the latter road, pushed into anew high on movement at 54%, up 4.

NARROW LUTS CONFINE WHEAT Chicago Board Expects Erratic Price Changes. Bu United Press CHICAGO, Feb. 17.—A continuation of a narrow market with erratic price changes is expected in the wheat market, according to a majority of local operators and commission houses, without a decided trend either way until there is some new development in the situation. With Liverpool lower than due and Buenos Aires slffehtly higher, opening prices on the Chicago Board of Trade, were unchanged to %c lower than yesterday's close. The fact that Congress is giving serious attention to farm relief legislation is regarded by some traders as indicating a weak situation in corn. Corn, having been boosted on unsound, theoretical conditions, it is likely to be unreliable until the fault has been corrected. Opening prices were unchanged to J gC lower than the previous close. Oats opened unchanged from Wednesday’s close. No action is looked for in this pit under prevailing conditions. Provisions opened higher. Marriage Licenses Edgar Duke. 34, 524 E.

In the Sugar Market

( By Thomson & McKihnon) NEW YORK. Feb. 17.—Ngw business in Cuban raws is being done on a slightly better basis from the standpoint of the seller. The refined sugar market continues depressed. I notice a good deal of the trading in futures has consisted in the past few days of exchanges with the trend into the later positions. I think a more satisfactory market all around will be experienced shortly. The trade position is more prom, ising as the season advances and futures will be sensitive to higher prices for raws aud granulated.

In the Cotton Market

(By Thomson ft McKinnon) NEW YORK. Feb. 17.—The action in the last hour Wednesday was brought about as the result of a very small amount of selling. Concentrated buying was easy to sec. The selling units were small, but evidently more numerous than surface indications. I favor sales of May and October above 14 cents and 14.50, respectively, and the buying side at a reasonable level below those prices.

RAILROAD STOCK FORMS BULK OF EXCHANGE TRADE Prices Advance Steadily— Two and Half Million Shares Sold. By Elmer C. Walzer Manager United Press Financial Service. NEW YORK. Feb. 17. —Low-priced and high-grade railroads made up the bulk of trading on the stock exchange Wednesday, prices steadily advancing in these groups through the session with total dealings over 2.500,000 shares for the day. Gains ran up to more than 9 points while losses, which occurred mostly in industrial and special issues, were small in the greater number of instances. International Harvester and Baldwin were the outstanding features of strength in the industrial group, the former gaining 4% and the latter 9% points in the dealings. Pressed Steel Car made a substantial advance and Southern Porto Rico Sugar also moved higher. General Motors declined following sale of $25,000,000 of preferred stock of the company. The selling was believed only temporary in this issue, however, since the matter of added dividends will not seriously cut into the distributions on common shares which can be expected to improve consistently. Tire Cut Motor Shares in general declined while rubber stocks also sold off. News from Akron stated that tire dealers had announced a 7Vi per cent cut in prices to manufacturers of automobiles and Studebaker announced a cut in prices of Its models.
