Piggly Wiggly Stock Cornered; Trading Halted Jesse L. Livermore, Famous Operator, Had Been Manip ulating Stock—Official Inquiry Is Started. By the Associated Press. New York. March 20.—Trading In Class A common stock of Piggly Wiggly Stores, Inc., was suspended by the board of governors of the New [York Stock Exchange late today, aft er one of the most violent price fluctuations in stock exchange his tory. The stock closed last night at 72, opened this morning at 75, drop ped to 74 3-4. and then rose perpen dicularly to 124, often jumping sev eral points between sales. From the high point It dropped, also perpen dicularly, to 82, where It closed at a pet gain of 10 points on the day. Jesse L. Livermore, famous stock market operator, who had been en gaged last December by Clarence Saunders of Memphis, Tenn., presi dent of the company, to maintain a market for the slock, issued a state ment tonight saying that Mr. Saun ders had abruptly terminated Mr. Livermore's authority to act for him kit 11 this morning, and that lie (Llver imore) had immediately canceled all orders in the market and ceased op erating In the stock. "Squeeze Shorts.'* While official comment was with held during the day by Mr. Saunders, it wae reported that it was decided to "e^aeeze" the short interest by calling for the delivery of 42,000 shares of the Mock which had been sold "short” through the local and Chicago mar kets. Brokers reported that while the Mock was climbing upward, it was virtually Impossible for shorts to borrow the stock in order to make de livery of shares which they previ ously had sold on the assumption that the market price was too high and that they would "cover" their com mitments by buying the stock back at lower prices later. This apparent absence of a "free market” and indications of a "cor ner” undoubtedly prompted the stock exchange authorities to take inimedl ate action, although the notice of suspension called for attention to the fact that it had been taken with the approval of counsel for the Piggiy Wiggly company. Unofficially, It was learned that the governing board de cided that there was not sufficient Stock availabl# to meet trading re quirements. Late last fell a concerted attack was made on tho stock after a few companies which had leased terrltor *ia! rights to the Piggiy Wiggly pat ants had become involved in financial difficulties, w’hich did not, however. Involve the Memphis concern. The stock dropped then to around $40 a share after having sold as high as $59 last year. Fought Short Interests. Mr. Saunders came to New York about that time with a sum esti mated as high as $1,000,000 with the avowed intention of combating the short interests. Mr. Livermore is believed to have been engaged at that time. "Early in Deeembcr,” Mr. Liver more's statement said, "Mr. Clarence Saunders of Memphis, being a large stockholder of the Piggiy Wiggly company anil desirous of marketing a large block of class "A” common stock of that company, approached me to act for him and authorized ine to buy, sell or loan such stock for his account. "Since that time and until this morning, pursuant to such authority, I have maintained a continuous o-.ar ket In the stock in which purchases, sales and borrowings could be freely made at any time. "At about 11 o'clock this morning, without previous notice to me, Mr. Saunders, by telegraph, terminated my authority to act for his account, and accordingly, I immediately can celed all orders in the market and ceased operating In the stork. "During this entire period I have never conducted any transactions in this stock for my own account.” Probe Not Completed. While the investigation of the stock exchange has not been officially com pleted, it is not believed that the stock wiU be restored to the list unless a much wider distribution of it is insde. Meanwhile, settlement of stock ' t ransactions probably will he made by arbitration among tho interested parties at s price to be agreed upon. The stock exchange investigation into the slock was instituted a few weeks ago by the business conduct < ommittee whii h asked brokers to state their position in the stock as of noon on March 13. At that time the stock was selling around $77 a -hare, although a public offering on tlie installment plan was being made by the Piggiy Wiggly investment company at $55 a share. This offering was withdrawn yes terday by Mr. Saunders, who Is re ported to have eoltl all the stork that he cared to at that price. The Piggiy Wiggly company oper ates a nation-wide chain of approxi mately $50 grocery stores under a syetem of merchandising many of the methods and processes of which have been patented. Memphis, Tenn., March 20.—Plggly Wiggly’s sensational soaring on the -Vow York Stock Exchange today brought no formal comment from the headquarters here of Clarence Saun ders, head of the Plggly Wiggly cor poration. “No statement to make at this tl?ns,M was the last word to Inquirers M Mr. Saunders’ office. Humors .persisted here, however, that calls had been made for dc Mv'try of a large Mock of stock in <*rw York, estimated by some at fS’,000 shares, end a smaller lot in ^ Ml ago, said to be about 4,000 shares.

I MARKET, FINANCIAL ■ - - ■ ■- " AND INDUSTRIAL NEWS OF THE DAY Omaha Grain Omaha, March 20. Total receipts at Omaha, 66 cars, against 246 cars last year. Total shipments, 71 cars, against 117 cars a year ago. , A very good demand was in evi dence for cash wheat in the Omaha market with prices unchanged to VaC higher. Corn was slow owing to the scant offerings, only two cars were sold at He higher. Oats were Uc higher. Rye and barley nominally un changed. Reports of some wheat worked to the continent, strong and higher Liverpool <vibles, also reports of in sufficient moisture in western Kan sas, Nebraska and Oklahoma com bined to cause prices in the Chicago future market to take an upward swing in the early dealings. Trade was light and largely local and long grain came out on the advance during the latter part of the session, de ferred months of wheat displaying the most strength due to reports of high winds and dust storms in west ern Kansas. Reports from the grow ing wheat in most sections, however, are very encouraging and there was considerable pressure in the May fu ture. WHEAT.

Chicago, March 20.—Displaying a firm undertone in an exceedingly dull trade, wheat prices moved forward today to a slight advance. News was considerably in favor of higher levels but the market seemed pleased just to recover from the sharp setback of the previous session. Wheat closed 3-8c to 6 8c higher; corn was l-8c to l-4c advanced; oats were l*8c to l-4c higher; rye ruled 3-4c to 7-8e advanced and barley closed unchanged. Local traders were operating on the buying side the greater part of the session. Houses witji western connections were again on the selling side, while there was also continued spreading operations between this market and Winnipeg, with the selling In the Chicago pit. Locals Buy Corn. Corn dipped early under scattered sell ing by eastern houses. On the decline local operators were good buyers, and prices recovered well. Receipts were very light, and the cash basis strengthened >4c to %c. Country offerings remained light. Eastern houses were on the selling side of oats, but sufficient local buying wj«h attracted to keep the market firm. Crop news is bullish. Cash interests were fair sellers of rye, while locals bought at times. The export demand was Improved. Provisions eased In a light trade. Lard finished 2 He to 7*£c lower and riba closed unchanged. Pit News. Despite the scattered snowiai soutn wesl anrl tho drop In temperatures re cently, ctop notes coming i)> have been little changed. The dry condition still prevails in the western parts of Kansas, Nebraska and Oklahoma, while com plaints of alternate freezing and thawifig have been received from Ohio and other central states. Cash news was healthier today. The lighter run of wheat to primary markets resulted In advance premiums. Min neapolis reported a good inquiry for floor. Outside buyers are paying fancy p.emluniH over the Minneapolis mills for wheat in cars, available for shipment out. Liverpool spot market was strong. Stocks of wheat in the United Kingdom have dropped to the point where buyers are expected to be forced into the mar ket soon. All cables indicate rho foreign demand has been revived and is looking ahead Worlds available stocks of wheat showed a dtcrea.se of 7.122,000 bushels for th** wreck, and for the first time fell below tho total of last year. The Pacific coast statistical situation is very bullish. Tributary to Seattle there were 65,000, 444 bushels wheat raised this year, 35,000, U0 » bushels having already been marketed. M tinges from the nortrwest intimate that the soring wheat acreage will be considtrn\».y lower thi« year.

Financial By BKOADAN WALL. New York, March 20.—The stock market today gave satisfactory evi dence of its inherent strength, when it rose to new high levels is the face of a spectacular rise and fall in Piggly Wiggly shares. Ordinarily the possibility of a "corner' 'in a stock would have caused apprehension and resulted in heavy trading throughout the list. Except for some hesitancy around midday, when Piggly Wiggly shares were selling at the top price following a rise of 42 points In a little more than two hours, the stock market I failed to show any signs of alarm. Bull 1 ish demonstrations were witnessed In the oils, independent steels and a num ber of specialties. New High Price* Prominent among the shares to make new high prices, were American Woolen, public .Service corporation of New Jer sey, Jones IJros. Tea and National i^n amellng and Stamping. Transportation shares also did better under leadership of New York Central and some of the low-priced rails. Oils gave another exhibition of strength with producers and refiners moving into new high ground. Sinclair sold within a fraction of its previous high price, hut reacted somewhat In the late dealings, when the general list cased off somewhat under profit taking. The bond market however, continued to sag, owing to expectation of higher money rates and high prices for com ! modltlcs. Despite profit taking, the general stock market showed a strong undertone at tire ‘•lose. Suspension of dealings In Piggly Wiggly shares will undoubtedly have a beneficial Influence. A marked expansion In th* Inde pendent steel shares was witnessed. Re public Iron and Steel led with a rise of nearly u points. Railroads Stable. A growing belief that the railroad shares cannot help but reflect hi growth In bus iness being reported continued to impart stability to the common carriers. New York Central was well absorbed by those who feel confident that the dividend will be raised to 6 per cent. St. Louie, Southwestern and Wabash shares were at the front of the low-prced issues. The street feels assured that the common car ri< rs will report good revenues for March. Establishment of a price of 17%'- for copper metal by the largest producers inifarted firmness to the copper group. t Big commission houses are advising their ( purchase. American Smelters is being bought in anticipation of the resumption of dividends. Tp< Teased speculation In American W oolen reflects rc-ent accumulation of the shares by Insiders who know that the company is booked up ahead several months on business. Heaviness in Liberty hords featured dealings In the bond market. Elberite*. according to some dealer*. ha\e been s» II- \ ing too high, compared with other securi ties.
