THURSDAY, APRIL 25, 1918. ibaa ad ee trae ska nat en a a ae TRIBUNE FINANCIAL DEPARTMENT OFFENSIVE HAS NO PRONOUNGED MARKED EFFECT Inspires Caution But Other Re- ports Mix Quotations on Securities New York, N. Y., April 24—Resump- tion of German attacks on the western front accounted only in part for the mixed conditions which prevailed in today’s stock market. The new Teu- tonic offensive inspired caution, but had no pronounced effect upon securi- ties of recognized value. Automobile shares. were subjected to severe impairment, the proposed heavy curtailment of production and uncertain dividend prospects of some of the better known companies caus- ing recessions of two to five points on Studebaker, general motors ani the several Maxwell issues. With the exception of Pacific mail, which was tairly active and strong, shippings displayed all their recent sluggish. Limited offerings and rails were slightly lower even Reading failing to hold it occasion advance. The few impressive gains were made by stocks obviously dominated by professional interests or pools, Am- erican Sumatra tobacco established a new maximum on its rise of 4% to 100 1% and several of the chemical or fer- tilizers share scored extreme gains of two to three points, international paper gaining four points. Equipments, coppers, oils, distillers’ securities and industrial alcohol were temporarily higher, but for the most part surrendered to the active selling of the last hour. Gulf states steel add- ed nine points to its recent advance, but seasoned industrials of that class, including United States steel, were unchanged or nominally lower. Totol sales amounted to 400,000 shares. Bonds were irregular, including the liberty group, while internationals eased on lighter trading. Total sales, (par value) aggvegated $6,125,000. | United States bonds, old issues, were unchanged on call. RAW WOOL WILL BE TAKEN OVER Government Fixes Quotations of Last July as Forced Pur- chasing Basis Washington, D. C., April 24.—The: government has decided to take over | all raw wool now held in warehouses at_the price prevailing on July 30, last. If holders do not agree to sell it at that price the wool will be com- mandecred. r Wool that is now being clipped in the west also will be taken. The government will use a larger part of the wool for uniforms and will dis- distribute the remainder among deal- ers for civilian needs. The country’s looms, forty percent otwhose facilities now are engaged on government work, will be required to give sixty percent of their output to the government. ‘Civilian consumers will get the remainder af government fixed prices. Major General Goethals, acting quartermaster general of the army, re- cently sent notices to all the wool producing centers that 1918 clips should not be disposed of within the next thirty days during which time the government will determine its ex- act needs, At the conference today the chief subject of discussion was the price of wool already under option by the government, and disposal of that held in warehouses by order of Major Gen- eral Goethals, acting quartermaster general, issued several weeks ago. 1918 Wool Ordered Held. This order directed that wool clips of the 1918 crops be not disposed, of for the next thirty days. It was learned that the price. fixed by the governemtn for the entire crop avail- able would apply to this wool also and that the dealers have informally ac- cepted this view. ‘he Washington conference will be with the representatives of the . Na- tional Wool Growers’ Asociation, who | have been here since Saturday, It is declared that the government has tak- en the attitude that the interests of the growers are paramount and inti- mation was made that the July. 3 price was based on these interests. It is understood that the growers will be asked at tomorrow’s meeting if they will accept that price basis volutarily. SOUTH ST. PAUL LIVESTOCK. South St..

The. close was nervous, at the same as yesterday's finish to Ye higher, with May 127% and July 1495 to 149%. Oats lost a share to Ic net. In provisions, the outcome was unchanged to 45c lower. Government advices that planting in, the chief sections of thg corn belt had been seriously interfered with by recent low temperatures rallied thi corn market after an early adva had been more than offset by sym- pathy. with weakness which devekioed in the oats trade. The initial gains by corn were described to an evident decrease in the movement from rural} sources, and to a scarcity of offerings. On the late upturn, the principal de- mand came from shorts. More favor- able weather present and prospective, counted to set extent agannsit apy important lasting advance. Refusal of exporters to follwo up-|, turns in the price of oats inspired much selling of that garin. lesides, messages from the east regarding the domestic distributing trade were very pessimistic as to the outlook for new buying in the next fortnight. Provisions gave way with hogs and as a result of increased packing in the west.
