In the Stock Market

ißy Thomson St McKinnon) NEW YORK. April 22.—Nothing of an adverse nature has come to light overnight to explain the sharp reaction that developed late Monday. Asa matter of fact, routine news is largely favorable. Conditions within the copper industry have been well known for some time and the unsatisfactory state of affairs in commodity markets generally are well known. The remarks of the executives of the United States Steel Corporation can hardly be construed other than encouraging. An expansion program involving the expenditure of $200,000,000 does not indicate lack of confidence upon the part of big business. Apparently, therefore, we must fall back upon conditions within the security markets rather than outside influence to find a basis for the sudden change in sentiment. The most logical suggestion, it seems to us, is that the security markets had advanced a little too rapidly compared with the moderate improvement in business, and a halting period, if not a retracement, is perhaps in order until we get more defined indications of improvement in commercial activity. We anticipate nothing that might be called a major reaction, nor do we think recoveries will carry very far. A sidewise movement suggests itself for the immediate future. ,

Air Pictures Aid Survey Bu United Press WASHINCiTON. April 22.—The geologic survey, which is intrusted with the gigantic task of mapping the length and breadth of this country in minute detail, is finding aerial photography a great aid and time-saver in its momentous work. Although aerial photography, as a practical method of map-making is comparatively new, the survey, which functions under the direction of the interior department, already has photographed 77.909 square miles of territory. Os this, 37.515 has been transferred to maps. The maps made from aerial photographs, are not fully complete in themselves. They do, however, show roads, buildings, streams and physical features of the terrain, which appreciably reduces the amount of work to be done on the ground by engineers. Although the interior department does not maintain a fleet of its own to do mapping work for the geological survey, it has been able to obtain the co-operation of the war and navy departments in providing planes. .Flics 60.000 Miles By United Press WASHINGTON, April 22.—Representative Melvin J.

J Maas holds a commercial pilot’s j license. He is a captain ir the marine corps reserve, which entitles him to fly marine, navy and army planes. He and Governor John H. Trumbull of Connecticut are the only two men in smilar positions entitled to fly national guard planes. Air Growth Forecast Bu United Press PHILADELPHIA.

GRAIN FUTURES SAG ON WEAK CROP REPORTS Scattered Rains and Sales Are Responsible for Downturn. Bu United Press CHICAGO, April 22.—Further liquidation in May caused wheat to open unevenly lower on the Board of Trade today. Foreign cables were lower, while scattered showers were reported in southwestern Kansas and the frosts predicted for the belt failed to materialize. Liverpool was easy, but Buenos Aires firmed after opening lower. More frosts are predicted for tonight over the entire belt. Corn was uneven, but oats was lower. ! At the opening wheat was unchanged to % cent lower; corn was % cent lower to % cent higher, and oats was % to % cent lower. Provisions were steady. As expected, Liverpool was lower at the opening, but held steady around 1 to 114 cents at midafternoon. Sentiment is mostly bearish as it felt that the greater part of the group is out of danger unless some unusual weather or insect damage develops, the announcement that the government was discontinuing its loans on wheat billed after April 30 did not help the situation. The government plans to take its loss as the prices are now much below the $1.20 rate, which had been reduced from $1.25, and the time after April 30 until the new crop arrives is needed for liquidating the old crop. Talk of increased corn acreage has been causing the liquidation, and it is understood that some of the 800,000 bushels shipped by the lakes has not yet been sold. This will cause the general demand to remain quiet temporarily. Stocks are small, but the increased acreage and heavy cash market offset this. Oats has been easier with the trend in other grains. The new crop is coming along well, except in the north, where planting has been delayed somewhat, by the cold, wet weather. Chicago Grain Table —April 22 WHEAT— Prev. Higli. Low. 12:00. close.
