York Stocks | LIQUIDATING SALES WALL STREET PRICE CHANGES WITHOUT MUCH SIGNIFICANCE Speculative Circles Encouraged by Strength of Bonds at New Peaks New York, April 12—(%)—Stock market specialties ‘accounted for what little activity there was in ‘Thursday's session and price changes meaning. 3 While the strike situation at Detroit still was highly indefinite, and Wash- ington news was what might be catled “spotty,” speculative circles were en- vouraged by the strength of bonds, many of which reached new peaks for the past two years or more. Silver and rubber futures moved up moderately, but cotton was barely steady and grains were inclined to drift lower. . International dollar tates held to a narrow groove. E Shares of Curtis Publishing pre- ferred were up 5 and the common Gained 2. Industrial Rayon stepped up more than 8. American beet su- gar preferred got up 6 and the com- mon 1.

Loew's, Paramount and War- ner Bros, recorded small advances. American Telephone came back point and Consolidated Gas and Pul le Service of New Jersey did better. Most of the rails and metals were slightly under water and the motors were hesitant. ‘Weakness of grains was an unset: tling element. Jar. Transfers approximated 1,300,- 000 shares.

General de- sire was evident on the part of hold- % ers of nearby futures in all grains to 4 |lquidate, so as not to be forced to a | take delivery of cash grain in May. 30 Wheat closed weak, 1%-1% under % | Wednesday's finish, May 85%-%, July 85%4-%; corn %-1% down, May 47%- %, July 50%; oats 14-15% off, and provisions unchanged to a decline of % | 2. cents. Scarcity of buyers rather than pressure of offerings acted as a drag on wheat values. Downturns were in the face of continued dry weather complaints both from spring and win- ter wheat belts. At one stage, a rally carried September delivery of wheat to just above Wednesday’s finish, but the rise was transient. Much of the time, the wheat mar- ket was at a dead standstill. Corn and oats sympathized with wheat 5 | weakness, Provisions were firm, influenced by 2 | pending tariff legislation. WHEAT FUTURES FINISH 2 4! DULL AT MINNEAPOLIS Minneapolis, April 12.—()—Wheat futures dragged to a dull ahd weaker finish for the day when coars? grains 1% | began to break out on the iow side. There was a sharp break in ba jley futures that started the last re- cession, This break accelerated a decline in corn and oats. Liquida- | ton. increased as the session drew , near the finish. May wheat closed 1%c lower, July 1%c lower, and September tc cff. May oats closed 1%c lower and July 1%c off. May and July rye both closed 1%c lower while May and July barley each closed 1%c lower. May flav dropped ‘2c while July fell 1 cent. Cash wheat undertone was Iirm to -, strong and there. was.a good demand for offerings of most any type. Win- i, |ter wheat receipts were ‘ight and 42 10% 2143 36% 4% 13 29 wanted. Durum was scarce with of- ferings mostly of inferior quality. Corn demand was very good with order buyers in search of offers. Oats demand was a little better because of Plowing season and ‘the need of feed. Rye demand was good and it was %, {hard to buy anything near the bot- tom of the range. Barley prices were very firm to strong within ranges quoted and there '% | was a good demand for anything di- vertable into malting mixtures. Flax offerings were fair with demand steady.

Huge Potato Crop Indicated for ’34 Reports from growers indicate that the United States potato acreage for harvest in the 1934 season may be ex- Pected to total over 3,400,000 acres or about 7 per cent-more than the 3,- 184,000 acres harvested in 1933. This prospective: acreage with a yield of-10 bushels; the’ averageof recent years, would result in a United States crop of about 375,000;000 bush- els. It would exceed the 1933 crop by nena wae or 18 per cent, ie preceding 5-year pro- duction by about 20,000,000 bushels, or 6 per cent. Such a crop would be the largest produced since 1928 when con-" siderable quantities could” not be marketed on account of low prices. a Portugal was the first. country to establish gold as the standard me- dium of exchange.
