SOMf WHEAT UP CENT AT CLOSE Corn About Steady and Oats Unchanged. CHICAGO, April 2.—Although the wheat trade was extremely quiet on the Chicago Board of Trade, the undertone was strong and closing prices were 5sC to lc higher than previously. Early quotations were generally a shade lower, owing to bearish foreign cables, but later there was moderate commission house support, which steadied the arket, prices working to above-the previous close. Outside interest was still light, however, and operations were mostly of a local professional sort. There was no disposition to be aggressive on the selling side after the way the market acted yesterday. Receipts were 19 cars. The cash market was unchanged to 54c higher. The tone in corn was about steady with less activity in the demand than was in evidence yesterday, commission house buying not following the rally. Closing prices were 54c off to 54c higher - than yesterday. Receipts were 96 cars. The cash market was unchanged to lc higher. Oats were steady, with an extremely dull trade, closing unchanged.

In the Cotton Market

(By Thomson & McKinnon * NEW YORK. April 2.—A "Range in the weather for the better caused a deeline_of five points in the market this morning. The pressure of hedge selling from the South indicates that holders in that section are morp disposed to meet the market. Spot business in Liverpool for the week lias been disappointed. The weather during April and Mav last year was no better than normal and it is quite likely that as the Government gives out its week statements they will be capable of a bearish construction Asa matter of fact it was not until mid-summer last year that real cotton weather set in and finally resulted in such an amazing crop. The market is taking sales- well and for that reason traders are reluctant to sell the market. We continue to feel, however, that sales on advances offer the greater possibilites. NEW ORLEANS High.

STEEL COMMON STILL FEATURE OF MARKET Reaches Highest Point in History, With General Market Irregular—Oils Under Pressure.

By Elinor C. Walzer United Press Financial Editor NEW YORK, Aril 2.—lmpressive strength of United State Steel common stock which sent the issue to the highest price in its history at 169%, featured the stock market. Bonds displayed a distinctly better tone with Erie convertible 4s, Series D, getting above par for the first time in more than twelve years. The advance was in sympathy with the stock which got up to its best level since 1906. The stock market in general was irregular, and while Steel common and a few other industrials were moving forward with a greup of stanch rails, oils were under severe pressure due to further gasoline and crude oil reductions, and the baking shares cropped as much as 9 points. Insurar ce and tobacco stocks gained. No Extra Dividend The advance in steel continued even after a statement from Judge Elbert H. Gary, chairman of the board, that no extra dividend had been contemplated to his knowledge and that directors had never discussed the prospects of declaring one. It had been rumored that S5 extra would be declared at the meeting April 26. A large brokerage house, in explaining the rise, pointed out that Steel had a book value of $335 a share, equal to $240 a share on the new stock. Earnings for the first quarter, this firm said, would equal sl2 a share on 7,116,235 shares of stock that will be outstanding astir the 40 per cent stock dividend is declared. No serious effect of the union bituminous coal miners strike has as yet been felt in the market by stock of producing companies, while shares of companies whose lines run through the non-union fields moved into higher ground. Norfolk & Western in the latter group attained anew high record, closing the day with a gain of 1 % points. Await Case’s Outcome Early in the day rails sold down sharply, following the overnight decision of the Interstate Commerce Commission against the St. Louis & O’Callon Railroad in which the road was ordered to pay excess earnings of $226,878 to the Government, % of the net above 6 per cent on valuation. Railroad men and stock market traders are eagerly awaiting to see the outcome of this case, which will be appealed to the Supreme Court. Valuation figures used were those of 1914. and this is one of the heavy arguments against the finding. The carriers soon recovered after a brief selling spree and several closed the day substantially higher. Call money, while holding steady, at 4per cent all day. was In supply in the afternoon, and prospects are bright for a reduction in the figure on Monday. On April 1, 1826, the rate dropped abruptly from 5% to 4 per cent, Friday being the first time in some weeks when the present figure was above last year. However, the fact that the end of the

CROP TO BE SMALLER Fruit, Vegetable Output Will Bring High Enougli Trices to Compensate. Bit Times Sneeial NEW YORK, April 2. This year’s fruit and vegetable crop will not be as large as the 1926 crop, which broke all records for the past forty years, the Brookmire Economic Service, Inc., estimates in a study of agricultural conditions. Prices during the current year have been very much lower than those of the year previous, owing to the large output. During the coming season it is probable that prices will be more than enough higher to compensate for decreased production. Short fruit crops in foreign countries greatly aided this year’s crops, but it is expected that demand will be greatly decreased if acreage is increased in non-commercial States.

week-requirements overlapped into the month-end and quarterly settlements caused the firmness. Cotton prices, after an early advance, eased off on liquidation at the week-end, while wheat and other grains advanced. Curb stocks continued irregular, with a few individual shares running up to new noon ground and the greater number selling off. Lira featured foreign exchange, rising to anew high for the year. Believe Coolidge Seeks 1928 Views Bn United Pfrss WASHINGTON. April 2.—Chairman William M. Butler of the Republican National Committee will undertake soon a political survey of the country from coast to coast with a view to determinifig the prospects for the 1928 presidential race, it was learned here today. This developed after Butler had conferred with President Coolidge at the temporary White House. Butler will also inspect proposed sites for the next Republican nominating convention. Unofficial invitations have been presented from San Francisco, Chicago, St. Louis, Cleveland, Kansas City, Mo., and San Antonio. Texas. Many political authorities believe Butler’s trip is, primarily to ascertain sentiment of the country’s Republican leaders toward another term for Coolidge.

Asks Governor to Act. Bn United Press CHICAGO, April 2.—The military may be brought intc Chicago Tuesday to safeguard the mayoralty electinr> Wi .. Hale Thompson, Republican candidate and former mayor, through a lieutenant has asked Governor Len Small to have the national guard at the £oils. Small’s answer lias not been given. Thompson’s request for troops—which would give the mayoralty election the aspect of a military plebiscite—is based on charges that the Democrats, whose candidate is Mayor William E. Dever, are attempting to create race hatred. Part of Thompson’s main support is through the Negro districts of the south side. STEEL OUTPUT GAINS Continued Expansion May Set March's Average at New High. Bn Time I Sneeial NEW YORK, April 2.—A large Increase In steel production is reported by the Brookmire Economic Service, Inc., in a bulletin on metals. February output expanded 6 per cent and a continuation of this rate of increase will bring March’s average close to the new high record of 92.6 per cent capacity production reached last March. Production continues too high to permit any material price advance under ordinary conditions. However, uncertainty regarding effects of a possible coal strike* makes an outlook for a fairly large volume of demand probable. PROSPECTS STILL GOOD Appearances Indicate Business Will Continue to Be Favorable. Bn Times Sneeial NEW YORK, April 2.—Business will remain good, the Brookmire Economic Service, Inc., states iu an analysis of fundamental conditkms. It is only by comparison with recent record-breaking months that present activity seems dull. Conditions are still dominated by the three factors that have made the boom of the past two years—automobiles, building afid money. The first two are still in recession, but easy money is assured for some time to come. Expansion in cotton textiles, leather and the electrical Industry are not sufficient to 'dominate the situation. Prospective developments in railroad properties and equipment are as yet potential.

j The third salvo in the barrage of j correspondence between Speaker of the House llarry G. Leslie and Attorney General Arthur L. Giliiom was fired today by the attorney I general.
