Bv United Pres NEW YORK, April 21.—Tendencies toward further Irregularity were offset on the Stock Exchange by strength in a long list of representative issues, many of which made new highs for the year or longer. Trading was more active and tickers were falling behind toward noon when an upturn was noted. At the outset the majority of issues made gains. Then irregularity set in on renewed profit-taking. The selling was drying up around noon and the market was moving forward. There were still many soft spots In the list among the utilities and coppers, but the amusements, harvester shares, foods, steels and oils held firm. Leading industrials were in fair demand. Money Easy Call money renewed at 4 per cent and was easy at that figure with loans made outside the exchange at 3% per cent. This ease in credit was a factor in buoying up the market. Fox Film A was the active feature of the entire list, rising nearly 7 points to anew 1930 high at 54%. Other Issues to make new tops for the year were Radio Corporation at 63%, up 1%; Vanadium 131%, up 2; Loews 91, up 3%; Ingersol Hand 225, up 2. and J. T. Case 224, up 4%. Erie made anew low r at 5514, off lli. Motors Active Around noon the motors got into action. Packard started the movement with a sale of 10,000 shares at 20% unchanged. Then it ran up quickly and crossed 21. General Mo - tors then moved ahead and heavy trading at higher prices w-as noted in Yellow Truck and Auburn. American Telephone was weak, dropping s'i points to 255%. For a time other utilities were under pressure. Consolidated Gas, however, was in active demand, rising sharply in long strings of sales. Copper shares were sold on expectation of reduction in dividends by several of the companies following the recent slash in copper prices. Issues of the group were down fractions to 3 points. Copper metal buying was dull today. Brass producers reduced prices to conform withe lower copper schedules.

In the Stock Market

(Bv Thomson & McKinnon) NEW YORK, April 21.—Inasmuch as the federal reserve board in its current review of credit conditions attributes continued ease of money rates to the open market operations of the board itself, we are safe, perhaps, in disregarding the unexpectedly large increase in the brokers loan account as any danger signal. Asa matter of fact, considering the comparatively narrow movements of stock prices during the past week, it. is reasonable to assume that the major portion of the increase in loans is largely the result of new financing. More important just now is the unusually strong technical position of the market, which is reflected in a long list of stocks which are loaning flat, and indicates a substantial borrowing demand. Evidently the market harbor a large short interest which as a rule precludes the possibility of an unusual disturbance in security values. We are inclined to believe that remarks which likely will come from officials of the United States Steel Corporation in today’s annual meeting will do much to dispel apprehension over the business outlook. Thp admission that negotiations are under way looking to a merger of the principal mail order houses should act as an additional market stimulant.

GRAIN MARKET SELLS OFF ON CROPREPORTS General Rains Are Excuse for Sales Pressure; Corn Up. Bv United Prr> CHICAGO, April 21. Wheat opened steady to fractionally lower on the Board of Trade today on scattered selling due to the fairly general rains over the belt over the week-end. Pressure was slight and there were a few buying orders, but the market on the whole was very quiet at the start. Buenos Aires weakened suddenly and fell 1 cent before noon. Com was about steady and oats uneven. At the opening wheat was unchanged to % cent lower, com was unchanged to % cent higher. Provisions were steady. Liverpool was closed today, but Buenos Aires opened unchanged. About all parts of the grain belt except southwestern Kansas received moisture over the week-end. This section, which is a heavy wheat grower, is still dry. The bears argue that prospects of a reduced output there are offset by the large ea ryover and bumper crops elsev\ here. Temperatures were much lower in Canada, and freezing in northern Kansas and some other parts of the belt is predictfd for tonight. The recent strength in May com is considered bullish as the trade is inclined to get out of that month with the first delivery day only nine sessions away. The stocks here have been depleted since the opening of navigation. Field work is practically at a standstill, due to the heavy rains. Tlte new crop of oats is progressing well under favorable conditions, the rains being very beneficial. It is several weeks ahead of last year at the present time.
