SECURITIES MARKET A(T NEAR STANDSTILL POR SHORT SESSION Trading Dullest Since Early in January; Price Changes Unimportant f New York, April 14—(4)—The stock, market ‘was almost at a standstill in Saturday's brief session. Trading ves the dullest; since the early part of January. The more active issues held to narrow grooves and price changes generally were ucimpsrtant. The close was fairly steady. Transfers ap- Proximated 500,900 shares Both professiona's acd the public were inclined to hug the safety zones while waiting for develooments on the Potomac, Congress‘oral _ activities ‘cre still indecis.ve ond tne presi- dcnt’'s attitude toward disputed legis- lation was a matter of conjecture.

Grains were a ‘it reactlonary | ygq. at one time, and rubber erd cotton were hesitant. Silver futures were not buoyant, although tho bat metal was advanced % of @ cent an ounce to 46% cents. Bonds were somewhat mixed. U. 8. governmenis, however, were firm. International dollar rates were stagnant. Some of the metals and amusement stocks were comparatively lively. U. S.

Chrysler, Gen- eral Motors, Nash, National Distillers and United Aircraft drifted somewhat lower. U.S. Steel and American Tel-. ephone were fairly firm. The utili- ties and rails did virtually nothing. FINANCIAL REVIEW New York, April 14.—()—Wall Street again had .to look to the in- vestment matket for most of its ac- tion this week. Commodities were again so hesi- tant as to be virtually trendless, but an aggressive demand for preferred shares and bonds brought sharp gains to those securities. Although speculative possibilities in some sections of the security lst undoubtedly .were not being overlook- ed, it seemed logical that a-goodly Prportion of the buying was done by those who sought larger returns on idle funds than were available in the surfeited money markets. Real investment buying is a favor- able sigypost; sometimes it does not wats ddvertise itself, although in the Yast fortnight..or so there has been heavy purchasing of “gilt edgers.” The drastic changes which senate and house committees made in the ex- change regulation bill hardly rippled the placid surface of the market for common stocks. seautlieaae if Produce Markets | CHICAGO PRODUCE Chicago, April 14—(4)—Butter was firm in tone Saturday.

Heaviness of coarse ‘ain’ markets, oats in particular, served as a drag on wheat. Some stop-loss selling was apparent in oats, and May delivery of that grain dropped to well under 30 cents, reach- ing a new low since Oct. 17, and within % cent of the season’s bottom price record. The wheat market made no appar- ent response to announcement that the world wheat advisory commission at Rome today had approved a sys- tem of minimum export prices as a method of improving export trade. It was suggested that a reason for seem- ing market indifference was that no definite. fixed minimum prices were named. Corn was governed more at times by oats weakness than by the course of wheat. . Provisions reflected downturns of hog values. MINNEAPOLIS PRICES % | CHANGE BUT LITTLE West. Su uston Oil Hudson Motor . Hupp Motor .. Tinois Central . Int. Harvester Int. Nick. Can. . May Dept.

Minneapolis, April 14.—(4#)—There | Was considerable trade in wheat fu- tures here Saturday following one. of the heaviest business days in the month, but prices did not move in a major way.

Coarse grains were generally lower with wheat, May oats closing 1%- 1% lower and July unchanged to % off. May and July barley each was down 1 while May rye closed % lower and July % off. May flax finished unchanged. July flax was down 5. Cash wheat receipts were very light again and in fair to good demand. There was no important supply of any type for buyers to compete for. Demand for winter and durum wheat 36 ke was steady in tone. Corn arrivals were mostly applied on sale and tone of mixed was much stronger. Oats demand was very good for choice to fancy but slow for the rest. Rye of ordinary quality slowed %|down a bit but fancy held in good demand and very firm. Barley of acceptable quality for malting was in good demand and very firm while or- dinary to poor held draggy and easy. Plax demand was good and tone firm | ¢ tw strong compared with futures.

Prices weakened somewhat under the pressure from several consecutive weeks of com- paratively inactive trading.
