Sales approximated 400,000 shares. NEW YORK, May 29.—Prices moved within narrow and irregular limits at the opening of today stock market but the main ten- dency appeared to be downward. Reports that Senator LaFollette probably would become a presiden- tial candidate inspired some selling of the speculative industrials, while a number of the olls ylelded on ru- mors of further price cuts. Interna- tional Paper ahd United Drug each dropped 1% points, Trading turned dull on the decline. Losses of % to 1% points were re- corded by American Can, Baldwin, American Smelting, National Lead, General Electric, Rock Island six per cent preferred, Delaware & Hudson and “Nickel Plate.” Market street railway prior preferred mov- ed against the current trend, climb: ing one point. Foreign exchanges trading was extremely quiet with the principal rates holding steady. With traders showing little tn- clination to accumulate stocks over the prolonged holiday, the main course of prices continued downward although a few igsues developed in- dependent strength. Pere Mar- quette, Cuban Cane Sugar preferred, United States Iron Pipe preferred and Public Service of New Jersey moved up briskly, the latter reach- ing new high ground for the year Selling of low priced oil shares was infidencea by a further expansion in crude oil production in stocks.

The market closed firm, % to %o net higher, July $1.07% to $1.07% and September $1.09. CHICAGO, May 29.—With further rains west and southwest, wheat prices averaged a little lower today in the early dealings. <A decline at Liverpool tended also to ease values here. On the downturns, however, moderate buying on the part of commission houses developed and helped bring about a rally. After opening from % to %c lower, with Tuly= $1.07%@% to $1.07% and September $1.08 to $1.08%, the mar- ket recovered to about the same as yesterday's finish, Subsequently, purchasing of Sep- tember delivery on scale orders had a bullish effect on the market, as a whole. Unfavorable weather and month- end evening up on accounts gave a lft to the corn market. The open- ing, which ranged from \c decline to %c advance, with July 76% to 76%c, was followed by a material rise all around. The bullish character of the Towa state crop report together with smallness of country offerings up- held the market later, despite tran- sient setbacks due to profit taking. The close was firm, 4 to 1\c net higher, July 76% to 77c.
