Chicago Wheat Pit Strengthens After Poor Start Bulk of Corn Buying Credited to Shorts—Oats Reluctant to Follow Ad vance. By CHARLES J. LEYDEN. Universal Service Staff Correspondent. Chicago, Msy 9.—Belief that the economic position of the world wheat sit uation Is strengthening appeared to be ba< k of the buying in the pit today, which lifted prices appreciably. The early trade wan n narrow affair, weakness at Liver pool and further disturbing political news fr.-m Washington restricting interest. But commission house# quietly absorbed the offerings and forced a short covering movement. Wheat closed %e to tc higher, corn "us %c to l*c advanced, oats were *c » *c higher and rye ruled %o to He higher. The government report on winter wheat Indicated, according to natural influences, a smaller production than last year. The statement of B. W. Snow that the acreage reduction this year in 13 coun t of North America amounted to 7 per cent compared with last year, at tracted widespread attention. The bulk of the buying In the corn pit was credited to shorts. An over sold condition developed early in the day whon commission houses started to buy rather aggressively. Cash premiums in this market advanced %c to *c. The seaboard reported that export corn was difficult to secure. In fact offerings from «.• very point were said to be limited. / Oats were reluctant In following the advances of the other grains. Cash In terests offered May oats during the first hour, hut later the absorption by com mission firms Indicated some enlargement - f outside interest. rtye trailed wheat to higher levels. Trade was of fair volume. Reports Indi cating a poor rye crop in Germany brought In some buying of futures. Provisions were off in a slow trade. Lard was 2*e to 6c lower and Mbs were unchanged to 2*c lower. Pit Notes. Weather conditions were unfavorable ever scattered sections of 'he belt. In ports of the southwest where winter wheat is said to be Jointing, cold weather prevailed. In tne northwest conditions were more or less unsettled and not con ducive for growth of the plant. Experts found much dry soil over Kansas, which state the government nays will raise 60.000. 000 bushels more wheat than a year ago. It seemed that the weather was not the major factor -of the session. The clearances of over 9,000,000 bushels wheat and flour from North Arrierica for the week compared well with the previous week's shipments. The trade is begin ning to take “stock” in the heavy disap pearance of wheat during the last year, which incidentally was shaded through the months by world over-production. In this country visible supplies are larger than a ye%r ago, but they art de creasing more rapidly comparatively. To the bull the Idea is conveyed that the answer for this is that prices nre right. Locally, a better milling demand pre vailed for good wheat and premiums were stronger for the day. Shinment# of wheat from the Argentine for the week were reduced over 3,000.000 bushels, or about one-half of the previous week's clearances. This was due di rectly to the labor strike that prevailed i here most of the week, but which has been settled. The United Kingdom re ported that afloat stocks were heavy enough and on this account the reduced clearances frqpi the southern hemisphere did not affect the foreign market. Tn any c ent shipments of wheat from Aus tralia were considerably in excess of the previous year. So far this season. Aus tralia has shipped 14.000.000 bushels more wheat than in 1923.

Bache Review ■» New York, kkj 9.—The tremendous momentum given to industry by the war nan seemed to eliminate anything like deliberation in the operations of trade cycles. In 1919, we had a rush up equalling those of the exciting war pexiods, in 1920-21 there was a rush back to depiesslon, with smasning prices. In 1922-23. acceleration again developed and continued through the first tw o months of 1924. Now the setback has begun again and is growing, but in a more orderly manner. These comparatively quiett changes ins'ogd of the slowly developing business cycles of the past, are accounted ror, in part, by the great production ca pacity built up during tha war. This has made It possible, when demand was growing, to meet it quickly by speeding up production and that consumption has been so soon met and passed was due to the great capacity and efficiency which the war brought Into existence. That Is an over capacity for present requirements, there is no doubt. It has made quick filling of orders a possibility and a habit, and this, com bined wdth the greatly Increased effi ciency for prompt delivery on the part of railroads, has made It unnecessary for merchants to order far ahead, hi used to be the case. Hence the almost elimina tion of forward orders. Such a state of things abolishes specu lation an I it has Instituted the hand to mouth policy eo typical of present opera tions. Prices, under such conditions, feel more quickly the effects of under-supply and over ‘jupplv- Commodity prices are declining now because of this over-pro ruction. which reached Its peak in Feb ruary March. The latter Is now being rapidly curtailed. Steel production for the industry as a whole, la down to t*6 per cent to 70 per cent of capacity; auto mobile output has been reduced 16 per cent or more from the peak. The read iustment la proceeding even more quick ly than the former production Increase. All the Indexes of commodity prices show further recessions and the general level la substantially below that of a year ago. The readjustment In over-production which Is taking place, will it seams, work out Its own cure, the decline in stocks of goods with consumption keeping up, even tually bringing about reordering and re sumption of production activity. One of the conclusions which one meets In stock exchange houses during this dull period in trading is that the public has learned to be discriminating and that It refuses, to buy stocks whose companies do not show favorabls condi tions. both as to assets and earnings. It la recalled by more than one broker that In former times when stocks began to advance nesrly all stocks, good, medium and bad—joined In the movement. Now they point out that If there ts any rise at all. It. is confined mainly to those se curities which deserve to sell at higher prices. This will, of course, be a sound fen ture if and when a Hull market agsln gets under way, eliminating, to some ex tent, the element of risk, if the advance Is confined to the more stable stork* snd tending to lengthen th* duration of such a market. The stock market itself appears to have arrived at a point which might al most he railed an Impasse. Neither favorable nor unfavorable new* affects It. The reduction of the federsl reserve rate and record quarter earnings of the steel corporation nave not stimulated It, nor the further recession In Industry ** a whole depressed It. If th# conservatism which has developed In trade may hsve been caused or Increased by the political situation, the stock market may be wait ing for that situation to clear up, or for congress to adjourn.

Bj RICHARD SPILLANE. I nhrrsal Harvlre Financial lidltor. New York. May 9.—Stocks drifted with in a narrow range today and at the close prices were off fractionally. Steadiness of the list and its ability tp ward off bearish pressure Is the result of a belief in high speculative quarters that Presi dent Coolidge will veto the tax and bonus bills, and thif votes Will be In. king to pass them over his veto. Some of the big speculators have left Wall street until the hills are vetoed, wtyich accounts for the market's dullness. Money showed little change in the rate and plenty of It could be borrowed. Re duction in the rediscount rate means that the cost of doing buslnes lias been cheaper and illustrates the sound position of our banking structure. With money easy and the country's crops in good condition, no apprehension is felt over the crop and money situation. Buying of the chain stores and mall order house shares was impressive, parti cularly in Woolworth new stock which sold at the best price since It appeared on the big board. Mall order house sales In April were good and an Increase In May is confidently expected. It Is estimated that the nation's pur chasing power in 1924 will be only & per cent below that of 1923. when buying was unusually high. This accounts fur the strength of such shares. The south Is making money on the price of cotton and may become even richer If the estimates of cotton experts are borne out. It is asserted that the country is approach ing a famine in the staple as the cotton season draws to a close. The dry goods market has been dull and sluggish, but the present curtailment has worked a reduction in the unsold stocks of cotton goods and It Is becoming somewhat more difficult to fill large orders. Railroad coal stocks displayed under lying firmness. The coal people are understood to be making money. Coal now costs three times more than It did before the war. labor costs at present are higher, but not enough to have busi ness run at a loss. Reserves are being gradually reduced as consumption runs above production. The latter averages approximately 6.U00.000 tons weekly for the last six weeks and sonsumption is ap proximately 9,000,000 tons, according to a leading authority in the industry. Hpeculatlve sentiment is gradually drift ing toward the railroad securities and coppers. United States Cast Iron Pipe dropped nearly 6 points. Reading Coal was up slightly. A powerful banking syndicate is understood to be interested in the Heading Coal because of its earning pos sibilities. Investment buying of electric light and power stocks is reported In brokerage circles. It is estimated that I92.9i0.000 of such investments were goffered and purchased during April. The figure la the highest of any month on record and rep resents an increase of >27.000,000 over April, 1923. The rate of return to the investor which has beep declining since February has taken an upturn. | New York Quotations v.__J New York Stock Exchange quotation# furnished by J. S.

The $7,000,000 Florida Western & Northern railroad Issue, offered today, was subscribed readily. The offering, coupled with denials that payment of back interest had been considered on certain bonds of the Seaboard Air Line, which guaranteed the issue, however, brought heavy selling of the latter » mortgages. The adjustment 6s at one time yielded almost 3 points, but later recovered fractionally. Uneven fluctuations in the Wilson A Co. Hens continued today, the convertibles scoring gains which were counteracted by reaction of th<* first mortgage 6s. Norfolk & Western, Wick wire and National Acme issues moved up a point or more, while further recessions took place in Virginia Carolina 7s and Punta Alegre 8ugar 7s. Denial by Hsrry F. Sinclair that the Sin clair Consolidated Oil corporation was contemplating new financing imparted a firmer tone to the company's bonds. Belgian obligations assumed the lead ership of the foreign lift, which mainly wer« undisturbed by erratic fluctuations in exchanges.
