Average Stock Prices

Average of twenty industrials Thursday was 163.60. off .19. Average of twenty rails was 131.88. up .60. Average of forty bonds was 97.45, off .04. Bn United Pre as NEW YORK, April B.—Despite irregularity, Thursday's Dow-Jones railroad average closed at 131.88, a new high since 1909. This indication of the powerful demand for seasoned carrier shares attracted large buying orders into the railroad group, and further gains took place in this department in the early dealings. B. Q O. led the forward movement into new high ground since the start of the week at 116%, up •%. Price movements in the industrial list were mixed. General Motors moved up % to IS2 in response to figures showing that March sales by the corporation to its dealers set anew high record at 161.000 cars and trucks, which was 22,000 more than the previous high made in September, 1926. Bad breaks in industrial specialties like Wilson preferred, Continental Baking A and Electric Refrigeration were offset in the later morning by the continuation of a powerful demand for seasoned rails and by strength in public utilities. American Water Works led the forward movement in the latter class, rising 314"* to new high ground for the year at 81*4. Columbia Gas gained 1% to 89% and Montana Power 1% to 95%. In the rail group the same influential buying which has carried this class to the highest average levels since 1909 was still strongly in evidence. New York Central reached its high for twenty years at 151%, up 2%. Norfolk & Western sold around its highest price record at 184*4, t'P 2, while Kansas City Southern attained anew high at 59%, 1%. Aggressive buying or Erie common was resumed, carrying the stock to 55%, up %. In connection with the recent advance of the latter stock to a record price. Hornblower & Weeks point out that current earnings are equal to better than 86 a share and promise to reach f 8 to $lO a share for 1927.

The volume of .contracts that are to be balanced, however, is not large and a slow, draggy market is expected. Wheat opened %c to %c lower than yesterday's close. The Government report, which will be given to the trade at 2 o'clock, Chicago time, today. is. expected to show a wheat condition of about 87 per cent of normal, which is an unusually high condition, but is suggested by the reports issued by local experts a week ago. Opening quotations in corn were unchanged to \ic lower than Thursday's final figures. The action of the corn market is taken as an indication of local bullish traders withdrawing their support, and the indifference on the part of the outsiders to take the buying side. Oats continue to lack any incentive and the trading is absolutely featureless. Prices opened unchanged to %c lower than the previous close. Provisions opened unchanged.

In the Sugar Market

(By Thomson & McKinnon) NEW YORK. April B.—The stabilizing innuetu*e ot Cubas sugar crop restriction is ccrtamlv meeting- an offset in the present unsettled condition of the various markets abroad. The London terminal market has been shaken by Japane*** and Java liquidation. Considering tho fact, however that demand for sugar in this country lias been insufficient to render much support. T think Cuban raws have done well to withstand so much pressure without losing any more ground than they have recently. There comes a time when selling in a depressed market is overdone. 1 think we are near enough to that point to cause shorts to revise some of their ideas.

in the Cotton Market

(By Thomron A McKinnon) NEW YORK, April B.—Unless ihc ninp is very unfavorable the market wilt probably spH off this morning and show a weak undertone all day.

I suggest selling a little cotton early, if for nothing more than a turn during the day. ASPHALT REPAIR FOR TEN STREETS Asphalt-Concrete Fight Looms as Board Gets Bills.
