PRICES BREAK UNEVENLY IN PORK TRADE

STOCKS ADVANCE IN LIVELY TRADE ON N. Y. MARKET Steel Pushes Above 170 — Pennsylvania Highest Since 1914.

Average Stock Prices

Average of twenty industrials Monday was llll.TO. up 1.04. Average of twenty rails was 131.10. up 1.09. Average of forty bonds was 07.38, up .01, new high. Bu I nited Press ' NEW YORK, April s.—Vigorous buying of rails Monday carried the average for this class of stocks at the elosg to 131.16, the highest price since 1909. This spectacle of rising prices attracted further large buying orders overnight and the whole market opened with a burst of activity at rising prices. New Records Steel Common reached a fresh record high at 17091, up 91. while Pennsylvania reached anew high since 1914 at 62%, and new highs on the movement were reached by Erie first preferred, and Gulf, Mobile & Northern. Prices fluctuated with marked irregularity around noon. Individual stocks broke to new lows for the year and at the same time other issues weAe pushing into new high ground on the current advance. American Woolen preferred broke 2 points to 66, Fox Film A 4 points to 61 %> White Sewing Machine a point to 2394 and Wright Aeroplane 694 to 24*4. Bears Resisted However, General Motors, Baldwin and other leaders displayed good resistance to bearish pressure, while the seasoned rails were stimulated by declaration of another extra dividend by Atchison. This was the second quarterly distribution of this kind, encouraging the belief that the stock would continue to pay the equivalent of $lO annually until action had been taken with regard to a distribution of the part of the road’s huge surplus through the payment of a stock dividend.

Bit l 11 ilrd Pres* CHICAGO, April s.—With leading local operators inactive due to a lack of incentive for aggressive trading in wheat futures, it is but natural that outsiders should continue apathetic. Opening quotations on the Chicago Board of Trade today were unchanged to 9rC lower than yesterday’s close. Traders are more disposed to buy on breaks, but do not look for material bulges to hold long as the market of late has demonstrated that offerings Increase in sufficient volume on bulges to satisfy all demand. Shorts and longs in the corn market are apparently standing pat, while those who have no outstanding contracts are watching to see which side wilt show first signs of breaking. Prices opened unchanged to Vic lower than the previous close. Cash corn is in better .demand and shipping sales are increasing, 167,000 bushels being reported yesterday. However, a majority of the trade is bearish on the large stocks of old corn here. Oats opened unchanged to V&c lower than Monday’s close. This grain is lacking in interest and needs a new incentive to stimulate buying. Provisions opened steady.

In the Sugar Market

(By Thomson tc MoKinnor.) NK4V YORK. April s.—Opinion was divided over yesterday's latest news from the refined trade. Federal s announcement. whether encouraging or otherwise, according to one* point of view, failed to tell us now much improvement, if anv. we can expect in the demand. That is n very important matter. I do not talse seriously the selling attributed to current statistics on Cuban production. The last news I had about the crop indicated no change from the legal total ot 4.500.000 tons. While we are waiting for a better market for granulated and for raws. 1 think it would be well to bitv futures on tlie weak spots. MARSHAL DENIED BOND First-Degree Murder Charges Faced by Rigsby. Bu United Press NEWCASTLE, Ind., April 5. Town Marshal Melvin Rigsby today faces charges of first-degrcee murder because of the shooting of Herman Riggs, Henry County farmer, 41 years old, by the marshal Friday night. Prosecutor Paul Benson today filed the charges against Rigsby to prevent him obtaining bond for release from the city jail, where he has been held since the shooting. Three witnesses testified that Rigsby arrested Riggs and then shot him to death because the latter objected to going to jail. Rigsby, however, is not excited by the charges and claims that he began shooting only after Riggs had attacked him and was choking him to death. VETERAN EMPLOYE DIES Rises Wednesday for Daniel E.
