TUESDAY, MARCH 27, 1923. ~ STOCK DECLIN CHECKED TODAY Sugar and Domestic Oil Shares Lead Recovery in Late Reaction. NEW YORK, March 27.—The reac- tionary trend of stock prices which has continued for five days was checked at least temporarily today and closing quotations were materially higher. Further selling pressure based on speculative fears of an impending increase in the federal reserve redis count rate was in evidence during the morning but the strong buying sup- port at the lower leve's prompted short covering and prices turned defi- nite'y upward with oils, stee'’s and equipments taking a prominent part in the advance. Sales approximated 1,050,000 shares. NEW YORK, Marci) 27—Opening prices In today’s stock market were frregular, with the early gains and losses about evenly divided, Fresh buying power made its appearance in such stocks as United States Steel common, Bethlehem ‘ Pan-Amer- fcan and Kelly Springfield. al of which improved fractional'y and in Beechnut which “advanced 1% The traditonal selling on the good news resulted in a recession of 1% in Call. fornia Petroleum, directors of which have recommended a 400 per stock dividend, k Extensive short larly in cent covering, 3 the equipments and such re cent industrial favorites as Amer'cs Woolen, American Can, Studebaker and United States Rubber, combined with fresh buying of the shipp'ng: turned the course of prices upway| after the initial selling orders been absorbed. Mar'and Oil Beechnut each extended thelr g two points while Marine Amer’can International General B’ectric, Owens Bottle, U States Alcohol, Gulf States si Stewart Warner each so!d at least a point higher. The chemical shares Were conspicuously heavy, Virginia Caro'ina Chem‘cal common and pre- ferred and American Agricultura! slumping 1% to 2 po'nts. Fore changes frregular, demand sterling se'ling % lower at 4.68% and French francs advancing 7% points to 6.70 cents. Marking up of the call money rate to 5% per cent, the highest renewal rate in many weeks, which was incl- dental to quarterly settlements April 1, brought another flood of selling orders into the market. Many stocks which had advanced one ‘to’ two points on the early recovery, fell back sharply when the money rate was announced. California. Pe- troleum extended its loss to 3%, Kresge.and American Tobacco “B to 2% each, Atlantic Coast line to 2, end Illinois Central, American Can, Crucible, Pressed Steel Car and Household Products sold 1 to 11% points below pysterday's final fig- ures. Partial recovery was made later in response to heavy buying of United States Alcohol and Famous Players and the appearance of sub- stantial support in Baldwin and other leaders. In the early afternoon the list showed considerable _recuperative power in sympathy with a strong upward movement in the sugar and domestic oll shares. Marland Oil advanced 3 points, Manat! Sugar 2%, had and Phillips Petroleum and Iron Pro ducts 2%4, Punta Alegre Sugar 2% and Stewart Warner 2 points. Brooklyn Rapid Transit was liquid- ated freely and sagged 1% to a new jow figure and Chicago Pneumatic Tool was also depressed 3-points. The closing was firm. Speculative operations of the long side of the mar- ket were actively conducted in the late dealings despite an increase in the call money rate to six per cent. Mar- ket Street Railway preferred issues were conspicuously strong. while Cal- ifornia Petroleum was the outstanding oil issue.
