NEW YORK, April 10.—Specula tors for the decline taking advantage of the absence of public support con tinued to depress prices in today's stock market. Cuts in we crude ofl and gasoline prices furnished an excuses for an attack on the i! shares, Higher money rates and the announcement of additional wage in creases had a restraining effect on buying. Sales approximated 825,000 shares. NEW YORK, April 10.—Further Irregularity took pi t the open jing of today's stock market, early gains and losses being about evenly divided.

CHICAGO, April 10.—Largely as a result of profit taking sales, wheat took a downward swing in price today during the early dealings. The sell- ng was given impetus by assertions that after five days advance some- thng of a setback was to be expected. It was also contended that the govern- ment figures on winter wheat condi- tions were probably the lowest that would be reported this season. The opening, which varied from %c do- cline to 440 advance, with May $1.23% to $1.23% and July $1.20% to $1.20%, was followed by a decided general drop and then a moderate rally. Further declines took place, later, notwithstanding that buying at times was rather aggressive. The close ‘ansettled, lc to 2%c net lower, wit! May $1.21% to $1.21% and July $1.19% @1.19%. Corn and cats receded with wheat. After opening unchanged to %c lower, May 78%c to 78%o, the corn market underwent a decline all around with free selling on the part of scattered longs. Better weather was a bearish influ ence. The close was unsettled at % to 1%e net decline, May 77%@78c to 78c. Oats started unchanged to %@c ‘oft, May 460 to 46%c. Later all de- ‘liveries showed some loss. Higher quotations on hogs were re ected by a rise in the provision mar- ket. the spreading movement of wages increases in various industries with a resultant reduction of profits had a restraining influence on buy ing. Sugars became buoyant when the price of Cuban raws was fixed at 5%c a pound, a new high record Several minor rails also developed impressive strength, gains of 1 to 11% points being recorded by Pittsburgh and West Virginia, Pero Marquette and Ann Arbor preferred. The market was sensitive to pres- sure in the afternoon, Disappoint ment over the failure of tho list to re spond to the sharp rise after midday in Baldwin, Arherican Locomotive, Re- public Steel, New York Central, Rock Mand and Wabash preferred A. caused discouragement to the bulls and they threw over stocks which they had bought for a turn. Baldwin reacted from 140 to below 188 and a considerable number of other favor- ites ruled 1 to 2 points below yester- day's final figures. The closing was heavy. Stocks were supplied more freely in the af- ternoon with selling pressure concen trated on the oils, motors and equip: ments.
