March 25.—Heavy profit-taking caused some irregularity in the stock market today after the greater number of issues had advanced in earlier trading. The forward movement in United States Steel met opposition around its new high for the year of 193%. up ?s, and the issued sagged off to around the previous close, unsettling the rest of the list. However, American Can was quickly placed in the front ranks and the forward move continued in many sections. Can made anew high for the year at 151, up 3% from the previous close. New highs for the year or longer were made by many stocks, and gains, where they occurred, ranged to more than 5 points. Oils Active Standard Oil of New Jersey led the oils in tremendous activity, rising to a new’. 1930 high at 72%, up 2%. New tops for the year also were made by Houston Oil at 100!-, up lli, and Standard Oil of New York at 35%, up •%. Other oils moved narrowly, the majority .slightly under the previous close. In the industrial division Union Carbide made anew- top at 101, up 3 points, being taken on announcement the company was to cooperate with Aluminum Corporation of America and Goodyear Tire and Rubber Company in formation of a Transocean Zeppelin Company. General Railway Signal made a new 1930 top at 103, up 3. on word that the company was planning to operate at capacity shortly to catch up on heavy unfilled orders. Vanadium soared s’i points to a new high at 124’*:, lending credence to belief that a technical corner had developed in the stock. New highs for the year or longer were made by International Nickel at 43, up %; National Air Transiiort at 23%, up ‘4; Hahn Department Stores at 19%. up %; Hahn 106’i, up 2. and Warner Brothers Pictures, 78%, up 114. Gains Are Lost Other new tops for the year included Moon Motors at 13%, up V, Kelvinator, 24%. up %; Bendix Aviation. 50%, up 2%; CurtissWright, 13%, up 1; Servel, 12%. up %; Eastman Kodak, 244%, up 2%; American Telephone and Telegraph, 249%, up 2%, and Worthington Pump. 131%, up 3%. All of the foregoing gains were not retained, due to heavy profittaking tn the general market. The ticker continually fell behind until around mid-session, when the tape was forty-four minutes late. Traders were uncertain of the actual market and unloaded their stock, awaiting more favorable market behavior. Call money renewed at 4 per cent, but was in supply and the rate was forced down to 3% per cent around noon. This ease was offset by a rise in bankers’ acceptances which at their low rates were out of line with an abnormally high rediscount rate at the New York Federal Reserve bank. Sales were making new records for the year. Up to noon the total mounted to 2.235.200 shares, or at the rate of 5,500.000 shares for a full day. The Exchange has not wit„nessed a 5,000,000 share day thus far In 1930. Curb tickers were later than on any previous day this year, being nearly a half hour behind.

Foshay & Cos. crash last fall was echoed here today when the brokerage firm of W. H. Young & Bros., Inc., was ordered into receivership. W. H. Young & Bros.. Inc., security dealers, took over the fifty-five branch offices of the Foshay company when the latter failed. Circuit Judge Mulloy ordered the St. Louis firm placed in hands of a receiver after a stockholder filed a petition charging the company with failing to pay a dividend on its preferred stock. The petitioner said the firm had made “unwise financial transac-’’ tions which would result in large losses to stockholders. The Better Business Bureau reported that W. H. Young & Bros., Inc., had disposed of between $3,000,000 and $4,000,000 w-orth of stocks and bonds sincing going into business in 1927.

In the Stock Market

Or Thomson & McKinnon! NEW YORK, March 25.—Surely we can find little or no fault with, or criticise, the lack of initiative displayed on the part of present’day big business. Mergers have become almost a daily occurrence. Perhaps one of the best illustrations of the co-operation which exists between our larger corporations and our leading banking interests Is seen in the plan for a huge combination of capital under the sponsorship of one of the largest banks as a move to further improve world transportation by expansion of air facilities. Conservation of natural resources and control of production each day seem to meet with more marked success. Particularly Is this true in the oil industry, the steady improvement taking place there is being reflected in a further substantial drop in crude oil output.

GRAIN FUTURES ERRATIC DURING. MORNING TRADE Conflicting News Affects Market Unevenly: ( Corn Up. By Vnited Press CHICAGO. March 25.—Wheat opened unevenly higher to lower on the Board of Trade today. While strong foreign cables were cheering, a heavy’ snowfall over the belt from western Kansas and Nebraska to Buffalo without any dangerously low temperatures was extremely bearish. Liverpool was strong and rising and Buenos Aires was 1 % cents higher shortly before noon. Corn and oats were uncertain with wheat. At the opening wheat was % cent lower to 3 s cent higher, com u'fl.v % cent, lower to '* cent higher and oats was % cent higher. Provisions were steady. While Liverpool opened strong. It, was not as strong as expected, and by mid-afternoon had risen 1 % to 2 cents higher. The market is decidedly two-sided, many traders believing that a heavy export, demand, crops news of a distinctly unfavorable nature from the southwest or heavy increase in speculative buying are necessary to prevent a further decline This view predominates, but there is a considerable coterie who believe that values are low enough, even though they arc above an export parity. Traders friendly to the buying side of corn foresee but a slight increase f n thj visible supply for the next month or more. They expect light supplies, a good cash demand and better prices. There was a good snow over the belt last night. Oats followed the other grains Monday and scored a rally late. The precipitation during the night should be favorable for the new crop.
