In the Stock Market

(By Thomson & McKinnon) NEW VORK. May 13.—Inasmuch as President Hoover is credited with having approved the so-called burgess sprague analysis of the money market the report takes on a much more authentic tone than many of those of like character and of recent publication. Apparently the campaign of the federal reserve board to reduce security loans has the support of the administration which, according to one of our leading financial papers, would like to see “large speculative credit drained off gradually rather thsn to rip out the dam with a consequent smash to the market.” Surely such views are not conducive to bullish activity and to me it appears unwise to disregard them.

WHEAT FUTURES RAISE SHARPLY IN PIT OPENING Advance Due to Unexpected Strength at Liverpool. By United Press CHTCAGO, May 13.—Wheat futures responded to the unexpected strength at Liverpool today and advanced sharply in opening trade here. Firmness at Winnipeg and an improved demand due to lower prices reversed the trend abroad. Corn advanced along with wheat, but oats were unevenly steady. At the opening wheat was % cent to 1% cents higher, corn was up •% cent to 1 cent and oats were% cent lower to ’s cent higher. Provisions were unchanged to a shade higher. While there has been no change m the supply and demand situation many traders believe wheat, has declined enough for the present and is in position to respond to any bullish developments. Heavy rains were rather general over the belt during the week-end and weather appeared more settled today. There is a feeling among professional operators that corn is too high in comparison with wheat, which created the disposition to sell on all'bulges, in spite of the heavy shipments, delayed plantings and expected reduction in visible supplies. Liquidation of May oats put considerable weight on futures in l'ecent sessions, but weather news has been most favorable to holders and keep a good support in evidence for the new crop months.
