STOCKS RALLY AT CLOSE. Part of Early Losses Made Up After Bear Successes. BY STUART P. WEST. ®pecial Dispatch to The Star. NEW YORK. May dull and uncertain markets of Thursday and Friday the bears put forth another big effort today. Con- tinuing their search for vulnerable spots among_unprotected specialities, they met with considerable success. Virginia-Carolinia Chemical prefre- red crashed down another five points. Interpational Harvester was driven below eighty. Marine preferred broke overgtwo points. Allis Chalmers, the Centfal Leather and General Asphalt were others which readily succumbed to_the selling movement. ‘The pressure against Steel common and Studebaker at times was intense. It could fairly be said, however, that considering the weakness in these stocks the general run of the market resisted quite well. The olls as a_group were notably steady and the buying of the Callfornia Petro- leum issues was one of the outstand- ing features of the day. The rails where they declined at all were off orly slightly and the same was true of the copper.

CHICAGO, May 19. — Favorable weather for crop growth had a bear- ish influence on whear prices today during the early dealings. The easier tone of the stock market tendedsalso to bring about a declige in wheat values. Trade in wheat was light, and the market easily affected. The open- ing, which ranged from 3 to 5 lower, with July 1.15% to 1.16, and September 1.143%% to 1.14%, was fol- lowed by a slight further fall and then something of a rally. Corn and oats were easier with wheat. After opening Junchanged to % lower, July 79% to 797. the corn market underwent & moderate general deocllne a ats started unchanged to 14 off, July 423 to 42%. Later the mariet as & whole showed a little setback. Provisions reflected the steadiness| of hog values. ' Open. Hi, C] = L 1Ty e { 1,158 13 ] WHEAT- : R L 114ty B May July ...
