May 4.—Tremendous buying of General Motors which carried the issue to anew record top brought urgent short covering and fresh buying into the stock market today. Continuance of the local bank rate at 4 per cent and relatively small increases in the brokerage loans reported last night also accounted for buoyance of the list. Strong leadership was furnished by American Telephone & Telegraph, American Can and Chrysler. Recent favorites like General Electric, Consolidated Gas and Columbia Gas & Electric were whirled forward on large transactions and Steel common finally joined the forward movement. Airplanes Up Rails were strong, but oils were mostly lower. During the afternoon airplane stocks were drawn into the boom with Curtiss, up 10% points at $lO7 a share and Wright Motors up $8.75 at $154.75. Packard, Studebaker and Hudson stocks also increased in value. American Can set anew high at sl, an increase since the previous close of $2.50 a share. Important buying of a long pull character converged on the utilities. New highs were reached in International Telephone, Columbia Gas and Public Service Corporation of New Jersey. Bullish Demonstration Describing the market the Wall Street Journal’s financial review today said: “Continuation of the local bank rate at 4 per cent and the relatively small increases on brokerage loan figures furnished the signal for another bullish demonstration on the stock exchange today. With uncertainties regarding the rediscount rate removed for another week, principal trading vehicles swept ahead. “General Motors furnished aggressive leadership, soaring to new high ground for the present shares well above 200. f “Substantial gains were scored by Steel, General Electric. Allied Chemical and other industrial leaders.”

In the Cotton Market

(Bv Thomson <& McKinnon NEW YORK. Mav 4.—The cotton market was erratic in its action this morning. First we had buying on the theory that the decline Thursday had been too severe. This was followed by sales on further showers in west Texas. This movement established anew low for the present reaction but onlv a few points under that of Thursday. Considered as a whole the market throughout the morning probatnv represented the repurchase of a the lines sold Thursday. It goes without saving that the precipitation in west Texas has been far from sufficient, but as it probablv is enough to stimulate planting, we must give lt that much weight informing our opinion of the probable course of prices. To us lt appears that a traders position offers the best opportunity at present, leaving the matter of a definite posltlc* open until we can get a better view of what kind of weather will prevail for the month of May.

In the Stock Market

ißv Thomson & McKinnon) NEW YORK. Mav 4.- Features were plentiful in today's market, but outstanding was the activity of *he motor shares and the strength of tne rails. This latter condition was probably prompted by the strong possibilities of an increase in the division rate of Chicago R. I. and Pac. and Southern Pac. Reports on crops and business conditions in the territories served by these carriers are optomlstic and estimates on earnings are that the figures will compare favorably with other good years. Tinplate production is now being pushed at capacity rate while steel shipments are now in excess of new orders. On the other hand bank clearings are up 13 per cent and employment. particularly in Detroit, is increasing to new -record levels. Returning to today’s market it is found that during the first hour sixtv-six of the seventy-two active issues traded in advanced from a fraction to 514 points, while the remaining six sold on fractionally to 2% points. Bullish sentiment shows no sign of abatement vet we think traders should realize fully that the market cannot reasonably be expected to maintain its present speed and trend without some halting if only to catch its second wind, so to speak. With this condition in mind, the opportunity to take profits should not be passed on too lightly. AGREE ON FILM EXPORT Crisis to U. S. Pictures in F•. <. nee Averted by Will Hays. B)l United Press PARIS, May 4.—Minister of Public Instruction Herriot announced today that complete agreement hadi been reached by Will Hays, American motion picture executive, and ! the French cinema commission regarding enforcement of the new film control decree. Hays had announced Thursday night that the commission had agreed to permit seven American feature films to be shown in France for every French film bought—but not necessarily exhibited—in the United States. Previously a four-to-one ratio had been planned.

WHEAT FUTURES ERRATIC TODAY IN NERVOUS PIT Trading Moves at Tremendous Rate; Grains Mostly Up. Bii United Press CHICAGO, May 4.—Wheat futures worked erratically in a nervous and excited market on the Board of Trade today, closing with fractional losses. Corn and oats advanced sharply. The session was another one of tremendous trading, with extremely rapid activity. Final figures were: Wheat, % cent lower to % cent higher; corn, % to cent higher, and oats, % to % cent up. Provisions closed sharply higher. Little pressure developed at the opening in wheat, but liquidation ! was resumed and the market, j honey-combed with stop-loss or- ! ders, tumbled 3 cents in as many minutes. July wheat at one time showed a loss of 4% cents from the day’s high. Toward mid-session wheat recovered the loss. The impression prevails that while portions of wheat States have been damaged beyond recovery by drought, much of Kansas and Nebraska will recover, due to Thursday’s rains. The foreign situation is still bullish. The market after an extremely nervous morning, recovered strength and became firm late iti the day when shorts began to cover. Some export business, mostly Manitobas and durum, was reported. The cash market, with receipts of 136 cars, dropped 1 to l'zc. Corn also broke after the opening, but later recovered. There was no news of significance. Cash demand remained good, in spite of large receipts. Receipts were 293 cars and the cash market was M:C higher. Oats showed independent strength advancing % to lc in a quiet session. The cash market went Me higher. Receipts were 148 cars. Chicago Grain Table WHEAT- Prev. Open. High. Low. Close, close.

In the Sugar Market

(By Thomson & McKinnon) NE WYORK. May 4.—Th bright spot In the sugar market was the strength in refined prices, and while this may slacken for a few days the general trend. In our opinion, is upward. The raw market seems to be awaiting some leader who will step in the breach and start an upward movement. If this occurs with the combination of strength in the refined market, it would not be surprising if a 3-cent price were reached. NEW YORK SUGAR CLOSE High. Low. Close.

FARM BILL FEE SOON SETTLED McNary-Haugen Measure Goes to Conference. Bill United Press WASHINGTON, May 4.—Farmers sliould know next week whether they are to have a relief bill containing an equalization fee provision. The Haugen bill, passed by tha House Thursday night, now goes to conference, where differences between it and* the McNary bill passed by the Senate are to be adjusted. Both measures contain the fee provision and they vary little, so that it is believed the bill can be sent to President Coolidge for signature in a few days. The Halgen bill, from which the House voted Wednesday to eliminate the fee clauses, passed the ' lower body of Congress with the fee included, by a vote of 204 to 121. This is less than the two-thirds needed to re-pass the bill over a presidential veto. The farm bloc Thursday voted down, with nfachine-like precision, all amendments except two, which sponsors of the measure accepted. One of these, supported by the cotton bloc, would prevent operation of the equalization fee upon any commodity without approval of the commodity council, and the other would assess the same fee upon stocks held by packers as that upon livestock marketed.
