In the Stcjk Market

(By Thomson & McKinnon) NEW YORK, Feb. 29.—The stock mark'-* may put an immediate appraisal on the latest story that the fifth trunk line idea will be abandoned and anew alignment made in the eastern railroad map. But the general market embraces a multitude of issues and further attempts may be made to advance some of these stocks. If dullness develops, the theory may be advanced that this is a favorable sign, indicating a temporary oversold condition. Although many theories have been exploded in the last few years, yet a technical rally of some propor -ns may be imminent. But carloac igs are still declining and let us not forget that the stock market started in over a month ago to reduce brokers loans, and fresh buying now would only increase the loan account. While we still subscribe to the opinion that long lines should be reduced when bulges appear, yet regardless of what the general market does we believe that the oil stocks have been thoroughly liquidated.

OATS ADVANCE SHARPLY; CORN AND WHEAT UP AH Grains Extremely Nervous; Price Movements Erratic. By United Presa CHICAGO, Feb. 29.—A1l grains were extremely nervous and price movements were erratic on the Chicago Board of Trade today. Another winter wheat scare sent wheat around % cent higher during the morning. Com Jiad advanced a large fraction late in the day, on expectations of a bullish stock report Thursday. Oats surprised everybody by advancing sharply. Provisions worked higher. Reports from winter wheat points continued to speak of considerable damage, and abandonment of large areas. The advance in wheat was largely due to this news, and reflected strength from com. Receipts totaled twenty-one cars, and cash wheat was unchanged. Private reports on farm reserves of corn, due tomorrow, are expected to be bullish. Despite forecasts for colder belt weather and heavy receipts of 427 cars today, this factor gave the market a surprisingly firm tone. There was spme profit-taking on the bulge. Cash corn held unchanged to %c higher. Oats showed signs of life, and interest in the pit began to quicken. Cash and elevator interests bought heavily. There was heavy profittaking, however, and prices slumped. Receipts were 33 cars. And the cash market advanced %c. Chicago Grain Table —Feb. 29WHEAT— Prev. . High. Low. 12:00. close.

In the Sugar Market

(By Thomson & McKinnon) NEW YORK. Feb. 29.—The general Impression appears to be that tne impetus given to the sugar market was based on the premature announcement that Java interests would enter into the world restriction program, but the re-entry of refiners into the market on a large scale and steadily advancing prices lead us to believe that supplies had been permitted to run so low that immed'ate replenishment was imperative. We suggest taking advantage of reactiens which may develop cs a result of disappointment over the Javanese advices. By United Press NEW YORK, Feb. 29.—8ugar opened unchanged to .2 lower. March, 2.63: May. 2.66; July. 2.74; September, 2.83; December, 2.92; January, 2.91. Two suits to recover a total of $73,450 alleged to have been collected illegally as income tax have been filed in Federal Court, by the Studebaker Corporation of South Bend. Hie suits cover a period from 1919 to 1923.
