Bears took advantage cluding United States and Crucible Steels Studebaker, Kelly-Springfield and American Woolen were among these which sank to new prices for the year. Declines ran from one to five points with chemicals and fer- tilizers acutely weak. About the only important stock which moved counter to the general trend was Californ'a Petroleum which advanced two points. The closing was heavy. Sales approxim#yd 450,000 shares. Durtng the week the main body of stocks held around the bottom of prices reaghed in the recent reaction from high levels but the volume of forced liqu'dation was small and good buying support was forthcoming after intermitten slumps. Curtailment of demand for steel products and the spread of the move- ment to cancel or suspend building | projects, particularly in non-easential lines, was a sent'mental influence in the selling of the steel shares. United States Stee! common broke below 97 to anew low for the year and Bethlehem and Crucible stqpis also hit new lows. The re'ax8ng tendency of metal prices here and in London was the main factor in the | selling of the copper shares, which were also affected by the uncerta!nty regarding the market for domestic silver when purchases under the Pittman act are comp!eted. Most of the copper producers are NEW YORK, May 19.—Today’s brief session of the New York exchange witnesses further recessions in prices, due partially to short selling and partly to readjustment of price levels to conform to changing conditions in trade and indus- of the timidity of speculators for the advance and more than 25 representative shares, in- silver producers as well, and any |marked reduction in the price of silver undoubtedly will affect the net return of those companies, Chemical shares were weak because of unfavorable trade cond'tions and farm implement issues yieldead in sympathy. Cuts in crude and gaso- line prices arising from the huge over-production in the California fields had a slightly depressing in- fluence on the ofl shares. Railroad shares failed to make any |response to additional reports of rec- lord car loadings, New Haven was | particularly weak because of the huge |deficit for the first quarter. Cana- |dian Pacific also lost ground on ac- cessation of foriegn buying. One of the most interesting develop- ments of the week was the publication of department of commerce statistics showing that March reports exceeded March exports by more than $60,000,- 000, the first excess of imports since |1914 and the largest month!y excess on record, ‘Time money was definitely placed on a five percent basis with large sums available for the shorter maturi- | ties and a few loans arranged at the longer dates, An increasing bulk ‘of |pr'me commercial paper at five per- {cent also was reported. Call money ru'ed about 4% percent throughout the week. “° CORN PROVES LEADER | INGRAIN TRADING Strength Assists Materially | | tional Advance CHICAGO, May 19.—Unsettled con ditions featured trading day's short session of the grain ex- | change but closing prices were frac ; July wheat $1.15% to $1.15% and | September $1.14, No important rally | occurred in corn and the close was | weak with July at 79%c to 79%c. | During the course of the week's | trading the bulge in corn prices was | effective in lifting the value of wheat and provisions also recorded con- sistent gains. The infrequent spectacle of corn proving tho leader in the grain mar- kets was preceded this week by a decrease of 3,760,000 bushels in the United States visible syrmly of corn and by indications that the stock of corn in Chicago would dwindle rapid- ly from this time on as a result of | 4 scale. Arrivals of corn here mean- | ord, high prices paid by rural feed being too tempting a counter attrac- tion. Toward the end of the week forecasts of a warm wave helped to ease the corn market somewhat, inasmuch as cold rainy weather has been largely responsible for fears re- garding the new corn crop and for increasing the demand from feeders. Numerous unfavorable reports as much to do with higher prices for wheat. Assertions that spring wheat acreage had been sharply reduced as compared with last year counted also as a bullish factor. Besides primary receipts of wheat have been greatly N. Y. OIL €0.’S NEW WELL IS BROUGHT IN Boone Dome Producer Will Yield Five Million Cubic Feet Per Day.
