April 15.—'The stock ■ market went through further tech- . nical correction thi.s morning and toward noon the majority of issues were showing signs ol rallying power. The worst happened in the copper group, where prices were hammered to new lows for the year, before and after a reduction of 4 cents a pound in the price of the metal. After the bad news was out, however, the copper issues rallied with the rest of the market. Call money was firmer in tone at • the 4 per cent renewal rate and prospects were that the rate would be advanced before the close. This had been expected due to heavy- demand for funds today and the remainder of the week, and hence had no immediate effect on the list. Setliusr Advised O more importance was the approach of a two-day holiday and further advices of brokerage offices to sell stocks. On the decline, however, many turned buyers and the market showed a much better tone. Coppers were weak at the outset because of the price uncertainty. It was learned that there had been important conferences of leading producers and that there was dissent on the price situation. Traders expected a cut to 16 cents, and hence when the domestic price was •lowered to 14 and the export price to 14.30 in the morning, selling took on broad proportions. Prices the past year have been 18 and 18.30 cents a pound for domestic and export respectively. Buying Brings Rally Anaconda broke to anew low for the year at 68 '., off 2%: Kennecott to 50';, off 2't, and Nevada to 25%, off Ml. Wide declines also were sustained by International Nickel, Granbv. Cerro dr Pasco, Calumet <fc Arizona and other members of the group. With a cut of 4 cents, traders believed the worst news was out of the way and many were quick • to buy copper shares at their lows of the day. This buying brought . a rally. Talk in the street was to the effect that, several of the companies would be compelled to lower their dividends. Voted All-Around Man Bv United /’;•< ** NEW YORK.

UNCERTAINTY IN WEATHER NEWS AFFECTS GRAIN Additional Rain Reports Bearish Influence on on Market. Bv t niti and Press CHICAGO, April 15. An* extremely uncertain opening with prices unevenly higher to lower featured the Board of Trade’s start today. Additional reports of rain during the last twenty-four hours and an easy Liverpool market were depressing factors, but the continued lack of precipitation in western Kansas and th; prospect that the parts of the southwest that did receive moisture will need more very shortly, was confusing to the trade. Canada had freezing temperatures and some snow. Buenos Aires was uncertain at the start. He higher to %c lower. Com and oats were uneven with wheat. At the opening wheat was %c lower to •’ i sC higher, corn was ’o lower to 1 5c higher, and oats was unchanged to "sc off. Provisions were steady. The lower Liverpool opening was expected and a rally on short covering brought prices back to 7 s to 1% cent lower by mid-afternoon. The decline here Monday and the poor rallying power shown have created a more bearish view, but the selling is not being pressed. The Kansas state report this morning says that the situation is serious and more rain is needed and indicates some damage from insects. Country offerings of corn are still light but receipts here are heavy, coming mainly from other terminals and being taken by local industries restricting trade in the futures until the movement is over or declines.

In the Stock Market

(By Thomson & McKinnon) NEW YORK, April 15.—1 t is refreshing to find the esteemed Col. Ayers in so optimistic a frame of mind concerning the business outlook. Unfortunately conditions measured by all the accepted trade indices do not seem to bear out all the recent hopefulness regarding the immediate future. Such improvement as taken place has been so moderate and confined to so few industries that the thought uppermost in our minds is that the security markets have possibly gone ahead too rapidly in discounting the expected business revival. Predictions of 12 cent copper, steadily declining commodity prices generally and a none too strong price situation in steel products hardly spell normal business. No doubt some improvement is under way. Nevertheless, we feel that the stock market has outmarched the business processional and prompts us to modify our enthusiasm and give heed to the suggestion of more frequent reactionary periods. Therefore, a conservative attitude would seem to be in order in contemplating new commitments. ■" —.t-t” : —•: ~~ Legal Notices PUTNAM CIRCUIT COURT APRIL TERM. 1930. STATE OF INDIANA.
