In the Stock Market

(By Thomson & McKinnon) NEW YORK, April 24.—There can be no doubt even in the minds of the skeptical, but that credit for stock market purposes has contracted and that the trend for the near future, at least, is for further scarcity. Added to this, is the increase in discount rate by one reserve district after another. The effect of this contraction in credit is already noticeable in stock market valuations as well as in the temper of speculators, who have reached the point of realization that an upward swing in price levels cannot go on forever, even when fundamental conditions are perfect. However, there is one really bright spot in the market and that points to the oil stocks where a sound basic situation is asserting itself. At the same time and until a clearer view of the stock markets future is obtainable, we regard a liquidation of securities on all evidences of strength to be the proper course to pursue.

CORN AND OATS FOLLOW WHEAT IN OPENING DIP Weaker Foreign Markets, Western Rains Cause Downturn. By United Press CHICAGO, April 24.-Wheat led a fractional opening decline in grain futures on the Board of Trade today. Weaker foreign markets and recent rains over many drought-menaced western fields caused the dip. Corn followed wheat and oats declined in sympathy. Opening figures were: Wheat, J /4c to Vsc lower; corn, %c to 94c off, and oats Me lower lo %c higher, September showing the advance. Provisions opened with negligible changes. Sentiment in wheat remains fundamentally bullish, but traders expect price movements to be largely governed by weather changes during the next Jew weeks. Corn’s decline was mainly in sympathy with wheat, industrial buying of cash corn still continues to hold the undertone steady. The firm undertone in oats was very evident at the opening, all futures getting good support on the dip. Stocks of oats ate rapidly diminishing, seeding is getting a late start and serious damage tc the crop is reported. Chicago Grain Table —April 24 Prev. High. Low. 12:00 close.

CORINTH QUAKE TOLL MOUNTS; TOWNINRUINS Thousands Homeless in City and Nearby Region; Relief Rushed. Bu United Press ATHENS, April 24.—Tragic scenes were reported from Corinth today as result of the serious earthquakes that have destroyed the new Corinth —built up since old Corinth was destroyed by an earthquake in 1853. The death toll already has reached twenty and has been mounting hourly as relief workers searched through the debris of shattered buildings Thousands were homeless and almost all the houses of the city were reported down. Through the district ground Corinth, 15,000 persons were said to be homeless. The earth shocks lasted for six hours and in all there were twenty shocks. The minister of finance has granted a credit of five million drachma for the sufferers —many of whom are to be taken out of the zone on Greek vessels —while the Greek Red Cross already is functioning. The American Red Cross has offered aid to the sufferers. An eyewitness to the wide disaster in Corinth today told the United Press that of about 3,000 houses in Corinth only about fifty remained standing. These were badly damaged. Nearly 100 persons were reported injured in addition to the twenty known dead. Damage to the area was estimated at almost $10,000,000. There were many stories of heroism. The superintendent of telegraphs remained at his post despite that he was seriously injured and his wife and children were killed. British sailors, who happened into port, aided rescuers. THIEVES TAKE TACKLE $35 Fishing Outfit Stolen From Automobile. It was too wet to fish so Charles Halford, 334 Villa Ave., went to the baseball game Monday. He left a flashing outfit, valued at $35, in his automobile. Thieves took it.
