NEW YORK, April 16. — Price changes were in the ascendant on the Curb Exchange today, reflecting the better feeling prevailing in speculative quarters. The oil shares were held in check by the prospect of a general reduc tion in crude oil quotations, which expected to follow recent cuts in Guif Coast Crude and heavy Smackover oils. But even this quarter of the m ket joined in the advance to a slight degree in the latter trading.

BY J. C. ROYLE. Special Dispateh to The Star. NEW YORK, April 16.—Farmers and merchants in the Middle West turned on the gloom sooner than was warranted by recent depressing de. velopments, according to dispatch received today. Not so bad as painted, is the way many financial authori- ties describe the situation. Grain is now considerably under the $2-a-bushel mark. But a year ago at this time wheat was selling at around $1.04 a bushel for all d liveries. May now is around 45 cents a bushel over prices of a year ago, with July over 35 cents higher and September more tban 30 cents up. Men in the wheat belt estimate that it requires $1.30 wheat to be profit- able to the farmer. Corn Far Above Year Ago. Corn now is quoted around $1.10 a bushel, whereas a_year ago the lead- ing deilveries at this time were rang- ing between 78 and 80 cents. It is true that the high point for corn this year was §1.381 for July and September and $1.36% for May. But just as happened with wheat. the tremendous run up in prices did not affect the farmer greatly and neither has the following drop, since his grain s not vet matured. If corn and wheat will stay around present prices the farmer probably will make an ex- cellent profit. Oat Market Weak. Oats are about the same price or a Httle lower than at this date last year when they sold for 44 cents a bushel for July and 40 cents for September. The highs in oats, of course, were reached earlier and ranged from 6% for May delivery and 61 for Septem. ber. Farmers anticipate a far better crop of wheat and corn this Summer than in 1924 and if prices can be kept anywhere around present levels, they count on having fairly good returns for the first time since the war. The final results of the crops of various States depend wholly on weather and other conditions. But there seem indications that wheat will not suffer reductions in price, im- mediately at least. Kansas s expect- ed to have at least 8,000,000 acres in wheat which will develop for harvest out of 10,300,000 planted, with a probable return of better than 16 bushels an acre. Winter Wheat Conditions. Missouri Winter wheat condition is 86 per cent of normal and experts forecast the crop from the 2,347,000 acres sown at 24,743,000 bushels or around 150,000 bushels more than in 1924, Colorado Winter wheat is 87 per cent of normal and production is estimated at 25,594,000 bushels, as contrasted with 15,974,000 last year. The condition of Towa wheat is up to the 10-year average. The Texas grain crop has been aided by some good rains. Live stock prices are at a level which would seem to assure a profit. There are approximately 12,000,000 fewer swine on farms now than a year ago, a drop of 15 per cent. The 54,234,000 hogs remaining are estimated to have & value of $669,402,000 now, as com- pared with $644,436,000 a year ago. With corn around $1 a bushel, and hogs bringing in the neigAborhood of $13, the 10 to 1 ratio between hog prices and corn prices is established 50 as to assure a profit on hogs. Cattle Values Lower. Cattlo are bringing somewhere around $24.49 as a Midwest market average. This compares with $25.06 last year. There are 39,609,000 cattle on the farms, which have an esti- mated value of $970,000,000. This is a drop from the $1,045,523,000 total of last year. Sheep have increased to a total of 39,134,000, as compared with 38,300,000 last_ April, while their value on the hoof has risen from $7.47 to $9.53, which means a gain of over $71,000.- 000 to the growers. In addition, wool has risen, and a tremendous per- centage of the growers have sold thelr clips in advance at high prices, 5o that they cannot be hurt by any sub. sequent drop in wool prices. Taking it all in all, with both grain and live stock higher than a year ago, the putlook for the Midwestern farmer {s much more favorable despite recent slumps. The farmer last year did not sell his grain at the extraordinarily high prices finally reached, so that his real situation depends on what happens between now and Fall. Sellaa NET LOSS REDUCED. NEW YORK, April 16.—Net loss of $277,653 is reported by the Keystone Tire & Rubber Co. for 1924, after ex- penses, interest and taxes, compared with net loss of $407,747 for 1923. EXPRESS EARNINGS JUMP. NEW YORK, April 16.—American Express Co. earned §3.61 a share on its capital stock in 1924 in contrast to $6.64 & share in 1923. Net income increased to $1,730,324 from $1,177,906 the year before. Tee Off!
