Other coppers were higher and amusements gained. Motors, featured by Hudson, Packard and Nash, also moved upward; rails were quiet and irregular. Mack Truck Off Mack trucks sold off % to 98% on an announcement of lower earnings for 1927. Describing the market, the Wall Street Journal’s financial review said: "Tuesday’s vigorous recovery strengthened the belief that the weekly statement of brokerage loans would show substantial liquidation reaction. It was generally conceded that the extent of the reduction in collateral borrowings would be limited by the payment of the St. Paul assessment. But despite this factor considerable falling off in the loan total is looked for in view of the of poorly held stocks on the recent heavy selling at the end of last week. Irregular at Noon "Trade news over the holiday was favorable, particularly the further price advances on steel products announced by Carnegie and Illinois Steel." Stocks continued irregular around noon. Having exhausted their rallying impulse derived from the urgent short covering, leaders showed a disposition to flounder aimlessly. While good sized declines from their early highs took place iij stocks like Montana Power and Montgomery Ward, pivotal issues, such as Steel. General Motors and American Can showed good resistance to bearish pressure.

There will have to be further llouidation of March contracts prior to notice day and this is about the only disturbing element pt present. On weakness in the more distant futures we would buy.

In the Stock Market

(By Thomson ts McKinnon! NEW YORK. Feb. 23.—The best and most encouraging news this morning from a market standpoint is the story in one of the leading papers telling of a more hopeful feeling in the oil industry and forecasting an improvement in earnings in this first quarter. It has been so long since we have had a kind word anywhere on oil that we are inclined to grasp at even this forecast as the equivalent of a reality. Here is an industry representing a vast investment that has gone through a severe depression, extending over a long period of time. Perhaps here we may find the beginning of the next bull stock market. Today we will all be looking for the brokers loans figures. We want to say one word in favor of that report even before we know the figures, and that is that regardless of what lt may show, the market has been improved. Prices arc down and liquidation has been extensive. But we wouldn’t accept this improvement or a decrease in loans, if it comes as a license to proceed along the former lines. On the bulges we anticipate temporarily increased offerings. Deaths Annalois Woodson. 19. 923 N. California, acuntc dilatation of heart Elsie E. Remokc, 36. Methodist Hospital, septicaemia.

WHEAT UPTURN FAILS AGAINST BEARISH NEWS Conditions in Winter Wheat Areas Induce ProfitTaking. By United Press CHICAGO, Feb. 23. Heavy profit-taking, induced by bearish news from winter wheat areas lost wheat's large opening gains on the Chicago Board of Trade today. Other grains slumped in sympathy. It was evident the wave of bullish wheat sentiment was beginning to ebb. and the trade paying more attention to the bearish world situation. Sharp advances in foreign markets sent Chicago prices up more than 1 cent at the opening. The Southwest reported more snow and heavy profit-taking developed. The decline was steady. Export business was reported at about 1.500.000 bushels, mostly Manitobas. Receipts here were eighteen cars and cash wheat held unchanged. Corn advanced a small fraction early with wheat. Receipts were large at 571 cars and sentiment soon turned bearish. Colder weather over the belt, which will probably mean heavy marketings, helped to depress the tone. The cash market weakened and declined % to •">* cent, taking from the market one of the most potent bullish influences. Oats worked around steady, in its u-ual rut. There was no evidence of a change, and interest was dull. Receints were heavy at 120 cars, and the cash market held unchanged.
