Buoyancy of Corn and Wheat Induces Short Wheat Covering Selling Pressure Less Wednesday; Prices Rise With Moderate Support, Wheat Closes 5-8 to 3*4 Cents Higher—Corn 3-4 to 1 Cent Advanced. By rnlvtnal #w«lr». Chicago. April 2—Selling pressure in grains today was less in evidence, and It took but moderate support to lift price*. Corn and oats were in clined to be buoyant at times and in duced short covering in wheat. Light receipts, the smallest on the crop an far, and little hope of any Improve roent, tended to encourage bulls In the corn pit. Wheat closed 5 8® 3 4c higher, corn v.as 3-4® 1c advanced, oats were 1-4®) lc; higher and rye ruled 14c higher to 1 8c lower. The relative weakness that per sisted at Winnipeg, which incidentally dropped to a 4 5-8c discount under i hlcago. was again the obstacle in the path of hulish ideas. It reflected belief that Kurope was not particu larly anxious for North American wheat, even though reports from the seaboard were more optimistic. Corn met with steady support throughout and only in the final minutes did enough pressure develop to carry prices slightly below best levels. The cash situation was not especially impressive from a bull point of view, but local receipts were light. 11 Lit side markets were credited with overbidding Chicago for corn. Oats were fairly active and strong, with May especially buoyant. Promi nent houses took hold. Herious delays to seeding over wide areas and strength in the cash position helped this grain. Rye closed irregular. Trade in this grain was slack and price swings listless. Provisions were weak. Lard was 2>a to Be lower and ribs was 5 to 714c higher. a it .iwird. Available supplies the world-over undoubtedly are going into consump tion appreciably fast at this time, for the last week, there being a decrease of 5.574,000 bushels. Total supplies now aggregate 263,187,000 bushels, against 189.630."00^ bushels last year. The trade has gotten over compara tive figures as to the amount of wheat available. To see it moving into consumption at this time is more to be considered The movement of wneat to primary markets was considerably under a j'ear ago, and demand In most mar kets sustained premiums well. Local ly, millers took over 110,000 bushels, part of which was red grades. Millers in some Instances were credited with buying May wheat and selling the .July. Speculative confidence in wheat is still lacking, and it takes more tlian ordinary constructive turns in the news to bring In much support. The progress of the winter crop to date throughout the belt has been 0}ovt, owing to the absence of grow ing weather. However, nearly all points In the southwest tell of excel lent conditions, plenty of moisture end good color of the plant. Hessian fly is still complained of In northern and northwestern Kansas, but damage to any extent has not been confirmed. v Reports from the east credited Liverpool cables with reporting that rain In the Argentine has delayed the shipments of maize, and that shippers having ocean room chartered cleared wheat instead in many instances. The report went on to say that there are 5,000.000 bushels of wheat that have left the southern hemisphere on this account unsold, and that as much piore was at seaports. Any favorable outcome of the rec ommendations of the Dawes commit tee might easily lead to a hroader demand for foodstuffs from Kurope. It seems to be taken for granted that the continent is in need of liberal sup plies. Considerable blame is being placed on the recent raise in the tariff ADVERTISEMENT.

New York, April 2.—Stock prices registered furl her Improvement today, but trading continued In relatively small volume. Professional bear tra ders, apparently discouraged by (heir recent failure to dislodge stocks for covering purposes, suspended their at tacks, while operations on the long side were of a rather cautious char acter. Bullish sentiment undoubtedly was created by the brighter prospects for early action by the senate on the tax reduction bill. Speculative1* expecta tion that the market will make a favorable response to the Dawes re port, which probably will be made public at the end of the week, was reflected in the strength of stocks likely to benefit by an amicable set tlement of the troublesome repara tions problem. Jlevival of interest In the copper shares was based on prospective buy ing order3 from abroad. American Smelting was the leader of this group, closing nearly 2 point* higher at 61. Most of the others Improved frac tionally. American Zinc Issues were strong. Speculative Interest In the railroad group was divided between the Erie and St. Paul Issues, buying of both being predicated on large current earnings. St. Paul preferred touched a new high for the year at 30 14 while Erie common and first preferred closed approximately a point higher at 25 3-4 and 33 5-8, respectively. Other strong spots in that group were Southern Parlflc. which climbed* 2 3-4 points to 89, and Northern Pacific and Chesa peake * Ohio, each of which advanced about a point. Steel shares rallied slightly on pub lication of weekly trade reviews esti mating that March ingot production would equal that of last April, the peak month in 1923. United States Cast Iron Pipe rallied 21-2 points on short covering. Studebaker moved up 15-8 on President Ersklne’s state ment that the company should earn the $10 dividend this year with a 50 per rent margin to spare. General Electric climbed more than 3 points to 123 1-4, despite official denial that there would be any stock splitup. Reynolds Tobacco B. one of the weak spots yesterday, rallied more than 3 points. Marked Improve ment also was registered by other tobacco shares. Oils held firm with the greatest activity in the low priced Issues, particularly Transcon tinental. Skelly and Superior, buying of the last named being based on re ports of increased operations. Ameri can Telephone rallied another 11-2 points to 126 3-4. Call money opened at 4 1-2 per cent, tut dropped to 4 after noon. Little change was apparent In the time money market, short term loans rul ing at 4 1-2 per celit and the longer maturities ta 4 3-4. Price commer cial paper was unchanged at 4 1-2. Establishment of*new high records ■by French and Belgian franca, the former crossing 6c, featured the for eign exchange market.
