In the Stock Market

(By Thomson A McKinnon' NEW YORK. May 14.—While it may afford some degree of comfort to learn from the morning papers that unfounded rumors were generally credited with being responsible for the extensive liquidation of Monday and the sharp break we have had since March, it is perhaps unfortunate that realities are being thus minimized. There can be no question that the present abnormal money rate, brought about deliberately by the reserve authorities to force liquidation of security loans, is a fact and not a rumor. Surely, also, the theory held by leading economists that a continuation of high interest rates can and probably will bring about the culmination of the country's prosperity should not be ignored when fundamentals are being considered. Based upon the market's technical position we undoubtedly will get recoveries from time to time, but these, we believe, will serve only to bring about increased offerings.

FREIGHT RATE GOT LOWERS WHEAT PRICES Corn Somewhat Higher on Weather Report; Oats Steady, Bv T'nttcd Pres* CHICAGO. May 14.—News that Canadian railways bad reduced rates on wheat shipments between Georgian Bay and Montreal, to meet the lower tariff between Buffalo and New York, caused future deliveries to sell considerably lower here. Foreign wheat markets were weak with slackening of continental demand. Corn was somewhat higher on the unsettled weather and cats about steady. At the opening wheat was to % cent lower, corn was up U to % cent and oats were % cent lower to % cent higher. Provisions were unchanged. Although wheat appears to -have worked into some export business, traders as a whole have little confidence in the stability of present levels under unchanged conditions. Pressure is less heavy because of extent of liquidation in the bearish session of last week. Weather over the southwest was clear and warm today, but reports of snow and freezing temperatures came from the Canadian wheat provinces. Heavy rains over the corn belt will further delay planting, but there is a growing belief that this has been discounted which causes selling on all bulges. The good cash demand remains main sustaining factor in the market. Support for oats has been lacking recently due to heavy liquidation in May and sharply increased receipts. Crop news is little more favorable, but futures are expected to be influenced by action in major grains.

Walker Theater Review

Ed Watt, an Indianapolis boy, is the producer of "Back Home Again,’* which opened at the Walker Monday night. Muriel Ringgold completes the team of Watts and Ringgold and is to be given special credit lor her excellent work in Monday night's offering. The opening was preceded by a fifteenminute concert by Booker Fossie's popular Jazz band, playing from the pit, one of the popular hits of the bill. There is a "Broadway background” and a "Broadway atmosphere” in ever*' scene. The "Back Home” players are offering the Walker patrons a brand new show of a style not seen here since the "Hot Ella” appearance. The show properly may be called a high class vaudeville. Fop Hodges and F. Whiteside got a big hand doing a comedy bit under cork. Just as the show 'got under way. They were ably supported by Charles Taylor, playing straight. John Fox. with a crutch and a single leg introduces anew Charleston step that every one seemed to enjoy. Felton and Felton are two of the cleverest dancers seen on the Walker stage this season. Charlotte Ringgold and Eunice Washington are leaders of a rather novel model scene. While singing. "Roses, of Yesterday” a slowly drawn curtain portrays the features of a bevy of bronze beauties attired in white. "After Your Laughter ’Came Tears,” featured with "Caveman” antics by Taylor and Taylor, made a hit with the patrons. The acting and running satire offered by Watts and Ringgold is not only a fitting climax, but proves the big hit cf the show. The entire company lives up to advance .announcements. The work of the chorus shows training and beauty to a satisfying degree. "The Trail of ’9B” is the screen offering for the entire week. of Their Own,” at Mt.
