WEAK CABLES fORCE WHEAT f PRICES LOWER Corn Purchase Hampers Favorable Advance in Future Market. ftu United Press CHICAGO, March 31—Weak foreign cables sent wheat prices lower on the Board of Trade today. Liverpool cased shortly after the opening on renewed Russian offers and remained lower most of the day, while Buenos Aires opened lower, but recovered to stand unchanged iist before noon. Conditions in the \fihwest were unchanged over the tek-end, but the forecast is for In or snow. Corn and oats were Seven. at the opening wheat w’as % to lent lower, corn was % to Vi cent i'Ker and oats was unchanged to Ipent lower. Provisions were very k Liverpool opened about as exited, but fell sharply to l' to 1 \ ienta lower by mid-afternoon. The market here is much of a weather proposition with less disposition to press the market and an increasing inclination to buy on breaks. Traders feel that a continued lack of moisture in the southwest would be indicative of an advance. The purchase of 70,000 bushels of corn at an outside market last Saturday by a local Industry was not regarded as favorable to an advance in the futures market. The bullish fundamentals are well looked upon, however. Farmers are marketing their oats more freely, but the effect upon the prices is only’ slight. There is a good cash demand and seeding Is being delayed in some places by wet soil. Chicago Grain Table —March 31— WHEAT— Prev. High.

In the Stock Market |

I Bv Thomson & McKinnon! NEW YORK. March 31.—Perhaps the question now becoming uppermost in the minds of most observers is whether or not the stock market has been going ahead with too much rapidity and possibly discounting too enthusiastically the prospects for improvement in the commercial field. There are several fundamental factors which prompt us to suggest that a negative reply to this question is perhaps justified. There is as yet nothing which seems to indicate that capital seeking profitable employment and the amount of such funds is admittedly of large proportions, has as yet shown any signs of turning from the opportunities still available in good common stocks. In numerous cases the yields on such securities are still substantially above the prevailing money rates, and it is a fundamental axiom that so long as such conditions obtain, capitain will tend to seek the highest returns. Important banking interests if it is fair to judge by the monthly reviews released this morning, do not feel concerned and have not been tempted to warn against speculative excesses. Certainly many mergers still under negotiation, as well as those recently completed, can not be taken as a signal of any apprehension in either high business or financial circles. Current news is becoming generally more favorable. The further drop in crude oil production is evidence of the improving conditions in that industry and official announcement that the Pennsylvania railroad has been actively acquiring holdings in other roads, is probably a good omen of j the developments which are to come in this latter field. We are inclined to favor the possibilities of railroad and petroleum shares just now and feel that all things considered, they afiord excellent investment opportunities. INCREASE NOTED IN ROAD REPORT Pennsylvania Pays 8 Per Cent for 1929. ft// United Press PHILADELPHIA, March 31.—The Pennsylvania Railroad Company’s net income for the year ending; Dec. 31, 1929, was $101,378,518, an ! increase of $18,952,324 over the previous year, it was shown in the annual report to stockholders, issued today.

The dividend rate in 1927 was 7 per cent. At the same time, the report i showed operating expenses totaling $549,563,305, an increase of $16,102,975 over the year ended Dec. 31, 1928.

Bv United Press NEW YORK, March 31.—Stocks turned Irregular after a firm opening today as traders took profits in recent strong spots. The market, however, resisted attempts to bring about a reaction on firmer money tone and around noon rallying tendencies were noted. While recent favorites were meeting selling that brought them down fractions to a point, many others forged ahead. Columbia Graphophone was exceptionally active and strong, rising nearly 2 points to a new high on the movement at 30. Radio Corporation made anew high at 54 7 , up 1%, while International Telephone and Telegraph advanced 2% points to 67. United States Steel around noon had worked back to the previous close of 193L1-, after touching 193?5, only V under the high for the year, made Saturday. American Can was down to 152' i, off lvi, Westinghv use Electric at 188, off 2 1 :, and General Motors 49 %, off V. Stocks Sell Lower Other issues selling off a point or more from the previous close included General Electric, JohnsManville, Chrysler, American Telephone and Consolidated Gas. J. I. Case, subject to wide swings, broke 1 Opoints to 260. Utilities were mixed, featured on the upside by International Telephone, up more than 2 points at 67 and on the downside by American Telephone, off 1% at 262 %. Oils were steady to firm. Sinclair equaled its high of the year at 28 % up %. Standard of New Jersey eased fractionally. Mercantile issues lost after early gains. Sears-Roebuck made anew low for the year at 81%, off 2. Montgomery Ward spurted at the opening, but later lost nearly all its gain. Auburn was the strong spot in the motors, rising 4% to 253: United Aircraft continued to lead its group, while Behlehem and Republic were strong in the steel section. Tickers Fall Behind Tickers were more than a half hour late, with wide variations between prices on the floor and on the tape. News was not of the kind to sway the market either way. Call Money was firmer in tone at 4 per cent, with supplies limited, due to preparations for payment of more than a billion dollars in interest and dividends at the quarter end. Crude oil production in California showed a substantial reduction. Good earnings reports were issued by several companies. The Radio report came up to expectations and sent shorts to cover. New York state employment was reported increasing. Sears, Roebuck, in the four weeks ended March 26, had sales of $25,174,441, against $28,256,770 in the same period last year, a decrease of 10.9 per cent accounting for the decline to anew 1930 low in the stock.

SMALL TRA9ERS AGAIN ACTIVE IN STOCK MARKET Belief Grows That Business Has Turned Corner of Depression. Bv United Press * NEW YORK. March 31.—A bull 4 ; market last week was capped Saturday by the liveliest short session since Dec. 7. Sales neared the 3.000.000 mark for two hours following two days when the total exceeded 5,000.000 shares. Prices were whirled to new higl\ ground. Enthusiastic bidding stocks revealed entry on a larger* scale of the small traders who have' been out of the market for many months following the autumn reaction. The immediate reason for the bullishness was the growing belief that business has turned the corner of depression. Steel business showed a slight decline in the week, but weekly reviews pointed out better demand growing and expected a turn upward in the later spring. Building Picks Up Building operations were reported picking up in the east where open weather permitted outdoor work. Weekly mercantile reviews indicated a turn for the better in business generally. Call money was slightly firmer than many had expected but in view of the fact that banks must pay out more than a billion dollars in Interest and dividends as the quarter ends today. 4 per cent was considered a light charge. The feature of the week was a, decline of $21,000,000 in brokerage loans when an increase of as much as $100,000,000 had been expected. The loan totals showed that wealthy individuals and corporations were withdrawing funds and buying stocks that gave them a better yield than call money. This helped the market materially. Records Expected The Street expects reinvestment of the dividends and interest received at the end of the quarter and further high records are looked for this week. During the trading last week new tops for the year or longer were made by such issues as American Telephone and Telegraph, United States Steel, American Can, Bethlehem Steel, Warner Brothers Pictures, Consolidated Gas. Radio Cor, I poration. Pennsylvania Railroad, Generally Electric and dozens of others of almost equal importance. Only a few issues lost ground and these were rallying late in the week. Sales for the week compared by days with the week before were as follows: Day Last week Prev. week Monday 4.126.140 3,639,640 Tuesday 4,526,050 4,247,950 Wednesday 5,029,240 4,336,260 Thursday 4.707.030 4,262,830 Friday 5.791,170 4,629,290 Saturday 2.791,170 2,314,900 Averages Up The Dow, Jones & Cos. industrial and utility averages rose to new 1930 peaks in the Saturday session.
