WALZER United Press Financial Editor NEW YORK. April 28.—The stock market today lapsed back into the j lethargy prevailing a few days ago, as the session neared the end of the | second hour. Prices were down j fractions to more than two points.! Liquidation in the grain market | which carried wheat down 1% to i 1V cents a bushel and corn cent a bushel, and a quiet, lower bond market were responsible. Short covering of the last two session was believed to have weakened the technical position of the market, making it vulnerable to a reaction. Leaders Move Down Today's selling mostly was liquidation, shorts being restrained by I further restrictions. Leading issues were moderately! lower, but the issues in which a I thin market existed gave ground easily. Auburn, one of these, was ■ down to 35, off 4V*. and anew low. i Losses of a point or more were noted ; ■n Eastman Kodak, Coca-Cola, Case, American Tobacco and First National Stores. Steel common, which touched 30 ] ,4 in the early trading, was forced down exactly a point from that level to 29%, where it was off % point net. Allied Chemical reacted to 56 1 1, off %; American Can 42%, off l’i; Woolworth 37 7 /i, off %; Wcstinghouse Electric 23%, off and Chrysler 9%, off %. Utilities Sell Off Utilities were down 1 to more than 2 points. American Telephone dipped to 99Vi, off 1%; Public Service of New Jersey 44Vi, off 114; Consolidated Gas 52%, off 1; People’s Gas 70%, off 2V4; North American 24%, off 1. Railroad issues joined the decline with Atchison at 44%, off 1%; Union Pacific 54V4, off 1, and others down fractionally. American Smelting was down nearly a point in the copper group, which generally was lower. Royal Dutch lost a point in the oils, but Standard of New Jersey maintained a firm tone around the previous closing level.

In the Cotton Markets

ißt Thomson & McKinnon t NEW YORK, April 27.—Cotton was a quiet affair this morning. The tone was very steady. A still j higher basis for spot cotton was ; reported. The weekly weather report was favorable, except in some ! localities, where cool nights retarded growth and in others where it was too dry for proper germination. Texas reported the highest boll weevil survival on record. Japanese and German interests are reported to have taken most of the cotton that was offered for delivery Tuesday. Our latest advices are that acreage reduction will be only moderate and not likely to exceed 10 per cent. Today’s weather map is clear for the most part, with temperatures somewhat unfavorable for good growth. We favor purchases. CHICAGO —April 27High.

WHEAT PRICES WEAKEN UNDER STEADY SALES Rains Over Belt and Lower Cables Contribute to Early Dip. BY HAROLD E. RAINVILLE United Prrss Staff Correspondent CHICAGO, April 28.—Rains over the western portion of the winter wheat belt and weak cables pave wheat a sharp dip as the Board of Trade opened today. Precipitation was largely in the arid area from the Rockies to central Nebraska and Kansas. Liverpool was dull. Prices fell a major fraction at the start. Corn was lower, but the improved tone in the cash market held the decline in check early. Oats was nearly steady, with corn. At the opening wheat was % to % cent lower, corn was % to cent lower and oats % cent lower. Provisions were slow and easy with the weakness in hogs. Liverpool was weaker than expected and declined % to % cent by midaftemoon. Lines in May corn are being replaced in later months, but the transfer is not affecting the market to any great extent. The recent increase in the country offerings is keeping pace with the improved cash demand, but the fact that the actual grain is moving out in large amounts is encouraging and exerts a steadying influence on the futures. Changing over of contracts is going on in oats, also, as the first day of May approaches. September seems to be the preferred month. The cash demand remains good, an encouraging feature.
