Average Stock Prices

Average of twenty industrials Saturday was 160.63, off .On. Average of twenty rails was 130.07, up .12. Average ol forty bonds was 07.37, up .04. Bu United Press NEW YORK. April 4.—Orders which accumulated over the weekend were fairly well divided between the buying- and selling side, giving the general list an uneven tone in early dealings on the stock market today. General Motors jumped a point to 178%, due to short covering on failure of the rumored Ford announcement to materialize over the weekend Steel, Baldwin and other industrial leaders showed no significant price changes from Saturday’s close. Eastman Kodak was a feature of the specalties, rising nearly 3 points to 146%. Rails were relatively stronger than industrials, with Norfolk & Western in demand at record around 184. Become Steady Prices in the main body of stocks steadied around noon on Easter conditions in the money market, following the temporary slight strain incident to April 1 settlements. Saturday’s clearing house statement showed a decrease in reserves of $94,'793,060 Converting previous week’s surplus into a deficit of $31,714,740. This was recognized as an outcome of first-of-the month requirements and was expected to be speedily corrected as money paid out in interest and dividends. Totaling about $500,000,000 found its way back to the banks. Prove Soundness The fact that there was no important calling of loans during the morning demonstrated that credit conditions were sound and this condition was reflected in the renewed demand for seasoned stocks around noon. Buying was converged on standard rails, whose current yields offered a better return than the open money market. Pennsylvania rose, to anew high since 1914 at 62%, up %; New Y'ork Central, Atchison, and Union Pacific were also strong. Among speculative rails, Western Maryland issues were featured, the second preferred reaching new high ground for the year at 44%, up 4% points from the previous close,

Bu United Press CHICAGO, April 4.—A more optimistic sentiment in wheat prevailed at the opening of the Chicago Board of Trade today than for some time past. There appeared to be a tendency to view the fact that the market had withstood two weeks of pressure inspired by favorable crop developments, liberal receipts and indifferent cash demand as indicating that United States prices had reached a world parity and the winding up of the old crop from now on would be a purely merchandising proposition with occasional small flurries up and down, but with stability likely to be the outstanding feature. Opening quotations were unchanged from Saturday’s close. Liverpool was only % higher, which was not nearly as strong as due. Not much change is looked for in corn, prices opening unchanged from the previous close. Although corn has been showing considerable sti’ength of late, local professionals are still bearish and continue to sell on every bulge. On .the other hand, those who believe that bearish conditions have been discounted by the decline of 25 cents from the highest point of the season incline to the buying side on bi-eaks, and are supporting the market at times in a. moderate way. Oats present nothing particularly attractive for extensive operations on either side of the market. Seeding is a little late in some sections, but it does not bring in any new buying, and the movement and cash trade are not such as to make tiaders bullish. Prices opened unchanged to %c higher than Saturday’s close. Provisions opened higher. Chicago Grain Table WHEAT— APnl 4 p rcv ~ High . Low. 11:00 close!

In the Sugar Market

(By Thomson A. McKinnon) NEW YORK, April 4.—The announcement of a leading refiner incident to its reentrant** into the market is awaited with interest. Sugar futures may be sensitive to this company's views, but any important change in prices will depend largely upon the relation of demand to supplies. In my opinion the sugar markets are entering a period in which improvement will be gradual.

In the Cotton Market

(By Thomson & McKinnon) NEW YORK, April 4.—Long experience has taught me that a very strong or weak technical position is the best guide possible to the market's destination. I stand squarely on the position that an advance in cotton is biifhly improbable at the present time and a further decline in priceß will occur before we should seriously consider the probable price trend of the next crop. MESSAGE FROM FATHER Local Man, Believed Bobbed, Had Trouble With Machine. * Failure to received word from Ernest Roberts, 30, tile setter; 924 Highland Ave., led relatives early today to fear Roberts had been robbed between Indianapolis and Cincinnati, where he went to get his family BMday night. A belated message was received at noon stating that he was delayed because of motor trouble.

1 ■ * University Heights Astir Over Chirp University Heights was astir today over the arrival of purple martins! Residents of the south side district watch each year for the ari-ival of the birds from South and Central America, according to R. J. Dearborn, 4100 Otterbein Ave. “One workman stopped his labors when he heai-d a chirp this morning. Everyone here tries to be the first to report the visit of the birds,” said Dearborn. Martins are very punctual, arriving each year between April 3 and April 5, varying according to weather conditions. They return south about Aug.1, he said. , Dearborn said he saw two males, and a female in his yard.

IRREGULARITY MARKS WEEK-END ON’CHANGE Leaders Make Sharp Advances, Weaker Shares Showing Depreciation—Steel Feature of Six Days.

By Elmer C. Wafter United Press Financial Editor NEW YORK, April 4.—Marked irregularity was noted in the week’s closing list, with leading issues showing sharp advances and some of the weaker shares indicating further depreciation. U. S. Steel was the outstanding feature of the week, rising to new high ground at 170% and closing the six days at 169, up 4% points for the period and 155a points higher than its low of the year, made on Jan. 28. Buying in steel was in progress early on the assumption that an extra dividend would be declared. However, when Judge Albert H. Gary, chairman of the steel corporation, spiked this rumor as incorrect, insofar as a discussion of an extra dividend was concerned, the price continued to advance, showing the gain was based on something less ether-eal-profits of the company, which are expected to run high in the first quarter. Selling on Saturday was based to some extent on the prospects of a further decrease in tonnage in the statement for March, to be issued next Saturday. Adjust in Court Rails presented the best picture as a group in the entire market. A setback was given this section as a result of the St. Louis & O’Fallon Railroad decision of the Interstate Commerce Commission, ordering the road to pay to the Government some $280,000 excess profits. The basis of valuation In the decision was the figure of 1924, and it will be from this angle that the case will be brought before the Supreme Court for adjustment. Prospects that the Supreme Court would reverse the I. C. I. finding dissipated the break, and buying activities were resumed. Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific made one of the best gains in the carrier section, raisina its price 5% points for the week. Erie shot up to new high ground on news that the company planned to spend $25.000.000 for improvements. Colorado & Southern rose 7%, Kansas CitySouthern, 4%; Bangor & Arostook, 6%; Missouri Pacific, 6%; Western
