BY ELMER C. VVALZER United Pres* Financial Editor NEW YORK, May 13.—The stock market overcame all attempts to depress prices Friday and in a last half-hour spurt moved up in ail sections. The major item to bring the turn } in the trend was unanimous agree- ' ment of major nations to a tariff truce to prevent retaliatory’ tariffs pending the outcome of the world , economic conference. A horde of favorable items preceded that declaration but profit- ; taking predominated until the late trading; copper metal advanced to j anew high for the year at 7 cents a pound; the President signed the farm bill; Dun & Bradstreet reported contra-seasonal gains in retail and wholesale trade; hog prices made new highs; steel prices advanced; one of the large steel com- j panics was reported to be operating “in the black.' Oils Whirled lip Oil stocks were whirled up while < the general list, was declining in the early afternoon. Practically j every issue of the group made a new 1933 top and gains ranged to more than 2 points. Traders anticipated federal action to rectify the over-production. Some companies in Texas closed wells until oil prices advanced. Communications were strong Tea-j tures throughout the day. American Telephone was carried to anew high on the movement at 108'*, up 3 1 * points from the previous close and only a point, under the 1933 high. It held most of the gain. Short covering was mainly responsible for the rise as traders revised recent predictions the directors would reduce the dividend. A majority now believe the pay- ; ment will be made when directors meet next week. It was learned lrom well-informed sources that the New York Telephone, major subsidiary of American, has experienced its first upturn over the previous year in the number of telephones in ( use since 1929. Auto Shares Strong Western Union made anew top for the year at 43, while International equaled Its top and Postal Telegraph preferred approached its best level of the year. Profit-taking reduced prices of wheat sn 1 "" .factions, but corn j closed ii actions to more than aj cent. Cotton rallied and spot closed j unchanged. In cash markets gains | were made in butter, flour, copper, | hogs, steers, sheep, lambs, tin, corn, oats, lard, rubber, hides and silk. Silver, coffee, and wheat declined. J Automobile businessw r as report- j ed at a high level. General Motors j equaled its high for the year of j 24 \. Chrysler came up. Nash made anew high for the year at 17%. Sears Roebuck and Montmogery | Ward made new highs for the year, j

DRAIN OPTIONS SHOW UNEVEN TRADEACTION Wheat Drops From Highs of Day on Absence of Support. BY HAROLD E. RAIXVILLE United Press Staff Correspondent CHICAGO, May 13—Wheat and corn reached new high levels for the season on the Board of Trade again Friday but the lack of aggressive buying dropped prices on the former as much as 2 cents below the top. At the finish wheat was % cent below to % cent above the previous close. Corn revealed its independent showing with another spurt, advancing at one time as much as 1\ cents above Thursday's final prices. Recession from the high figures was regarded due to a weakened technical position as the market found nothing in the news to prompt a sharp reaction. Signing of the farm relief-inflation bill by President Roosevelt had been anticipated for some time. Trade Not Large The aggregate trade was not as large as Thursday. At the close corn was % to 1% cents higher, oats off % cent to \ cent higher; rye was unchanged to % cent higher, and barley % cent lower. Provisions, which rose as much as 40 points at one time, finished strong. Wheat early wiped out a fractional drop and the July delivery remained in good demand at about 74 cents. Profit-taking checked the bulge which carried the grain up to new highs, but the undertone remained steady. Liverpool closed V 4 to cents higher. Cash prices were % cent higher. Receipts were thirty-four cars. Country Holds Corn The country was holding tight to its corn despite the upward rush of prices on widespread buying, and only 3,000 bushels were offered during the morning. Profit-taking stopped the upward movement around midsession. But buying was renewed later. Cash prices were 1 cent to 1% cents higher. Receipts were 194 cars. Oats had an active session in sympathy with the major grains and at midmorning was up *% cont to % cent over Thursday. Cash prices were % cent to % cent higher. Receipts were fifty-seven cars. Rye was up % cent to 1 cent. Provisions were run up as high as 40 points on some deliveries, responding to sharply higher prices on hogs and the strength in corn.

CREDITOR SUES CLOSED BANK'S STOCKHOLDERS Double Liability Judgment Asked in Meyer-Kiser Court Action. Suit to collect from sixty-five stockholders of the defunct MeyerKiser bank on a double liability basis, was filed Friday in circuit court by Charles D. Babcock, an attorney, who avers he is a general creditor with a claim of $l5O. Babcock, member of a depositors committee, states in the suit that he is acting for himself and more than 1,000 other creditors of the bank. Among the defendants are stockholders who served until a week ago as liquidating agents, having been displaced by Thomas E. Garvin, receiver, appointed by Circuit Judge Earl R. Cox. These stockholders are Ferd S. Meyer, from whom the suit demands $66,640; J. J. Kiser, $66.000, and M. S. Cohen. $66,500. May Pay Well, is Claim From Sol Meyer the suit asks $66,500. Amounts of $6,000 or less are sought from remaining defendants. Order for discharge of all former employes of the bank and cessation of operation of all departments was given Garvin by Cox today. Last Saturday Garvin discharged fourteen of the eighteen employes of the liquidating agents. Depositor creditors of the defunct State Savings and Trust Company plan to continue their search for assets of the receivership, it was revealed today when petition was filed with Cox asking for a further investigation. Examination Is Sought The petition, signed by K. I. Hamilton, J. S. Sisloff, R. D. Evans and S. Pat Solomon, asked the court to “arrange for an examination of the records and activities of the officers of the bank and its subsidiary, the State Property Company.” Meyer-Kiser bank depositors could be paid in full, if total assets of the bank can be liquidated at an average of 70 per cent of their book value, Kiser said today, adding that only time and general business conditions govern this possibility. Garvin Thursday said the I bank mav pay depositors 25 cents on the dollar. Kiser said that income from all sources during the twenty-three months of liquidation of $262,545.75. Expense for the same period, he said, was $232,125.27, leaving a net operations profit of $30,420.48. Cites Examination Results Examination by the state banking department showed approximately the following, Kiser said: Total liabilities, exclusive of $614.000, in capital surplus and undivided profits'. $1,878,000; total book value of assets, $2,492,000, valued by banking department at $1,373,000. If the assets are liquidated at the value placed on them by the hanking department on the basis of the recent examination, depositors and creditors would receive approximately 70 per cent, Kiser said. Receivers for the Belmont State bank and Virginia Avenue State bank, closed recently on order of the state banking department, were appointed today by Judge John Kern in superior court one. Frank B. Ross, attorney and former probate judge, was named the Belmont receiver with bond of $15,000. Edward A. Oliger, attorney, was appointed the Virginia Avenue receiver at SIO,OOO bond.
