Wheat Prices Give Way After Early Increase • Decrease of 1,729.000 Busli k els in Visible Supply Fac tor in Fate Firmness of Corn By CHARLES J. LEYDEN, Voiverral Senlee Staff Correspondent. Chicago, May 5.—Wheat traveled an Ir regular trail today to higher level*. Strength at Winnipeg was an early in fluence in the local pit. but prices grad ually gave way, particularly at midday when local* sold on the disappointing de crease of the United States visible for the week. Commission house* absorbed offerings and a bulge featured the final minute* r* shorts covered. Wheat closed unchanged to He higher; corn was He lower to Hr higher; oat* v as Hr lower to He higher; and rye ruled He to Hc lower. The decrease of 10.414,000 bushels In the Canadian visible supply of Avheat wa* an influence in the late rally. Foreign political new* was encouraging to many in the trade as well as the sanction by the federal reserve board of the credit facilities of $.'.,000,000 arranged for Ger many by a group of eastern bankers. Ck>rn acted fairly well considering the lack of trade and the Irregularity In the cash situation. The decrease of 1.729,000 bushel* in the visible supply for the week was a factor in the late firmness. » De spite the apparent lack of demand for spot corn, supplies are not accumulating. Home reports said that premiums in west ern markets were gradually strengthen ing. Oats met with Improved support in the closing hour and rallied to an irregular f.nlsh. Rye failed to become attracted by the more cheerftU foreign outlook. This grain lacks speculative interest. A little commission house selling in the way of liquidation took the edge off the market. Provisions were easy under scattered ; commission house selling. Lard was 6 c lower and ribs were 2 He down. Pit Note*. May wheat showed relatively more firmness than the late months. Whiie the decrease in the visible waa not es pecially big. the changes showed th|it 'here is plenty of wheat heading for eastern ports, all of which Is either sold to the domestic or foreign trade, no, doubt. There Is a belief spreading in grain circles that the outcome of the Dawes report will lead to much greateri lean* to Europe, and that the effect will be stimulating on domestic as well as world grain values. flea ranee* of wheat from the head of Die lakes since the opening of navigation have been in excess of 20.000 bushels. To many this looks ii significant and re flect* the idea thut export sales have probably been on a larger scale than the daily reports Indicated. Cables from the United Kingdom for some time have in sisted that the continent particularly waa a much more active buyer of cash wheat. With the Winnipeg market closed to day, a keynote of the immediate export developments was thus not to be had. Weather conditions over the American and Canadian northwest were regarded as fair, generally, although in our own spring country there wore complaint* of a lack of moisture in some sections. The statistical information relative to wheat shows that the surplus grain of the world ia moving rapidly into con sumptive channel*. The world shipments for the Aveek totaled close to 20,000,000 buahel*. thus accounting for the Increase of slightly over 4,000,000 bushel* on ocean supply. Cash wheat wa* In fairly good demand in domestic markets at steady premiums. The primary move ment of wheat wa* less than a year a^o, and It promises to continue so for the balance of the crop year. Decreases in the visible supply are more rapid than at this time a >ear ago. all of which is taken to mean that price* are right in asmuch a* supplies are greater. CHICAGO CASH PRICES.

By RICHARD SPII.LANE. Universal Service Financial Editor. New York, May 6.—Stocks closed higher today, although trading continued on a small scale. What interest occurred was confined principally to the market leaders. Money was In abundant supply at 3 Va per cent, which Influenced opera tions for the rise. Bears attacked the oils early In the afternoon on the April gasoline figures which showed an Increase of 20,000,000 gallons last month over March. Gasoline stocks, however, gener ally register a gain In the month of March because of the generally unfavor able weather. Studebaker. Baldwin, American Loco motive, Allied Chemical and the tobaccos were higher at times. Buying of the lat ter la attributed to tobacco magnates. Steel sold above 99 and Davison Chemical took on strength in the closing dealings. International Mercantile Marine remained strong. Various are the rumors concern ing the stocks’ strength. One is that the company proposes to sell Its Ameri can lines because of the unprofitable operations due lo prohibition. Divorce of the American lines, it is thought, would mean a saving to the company. Strength of fitudobaker was attributed to »h e operations of a prominent automobile magnate. Wall street heard again that Henry Ford was negotiating for the purchase of the St. Paul railway and the Mon tana Power company. The St. Paul is one ef the longest railroads in the coun try with a mileage of a little over 10,000 miles. The rumor, which originated in Montana, went on to say that President Byram of the St. Paul and President John D. Kyan of the Montana Power company would confer in New York on May 24 with the Ford interests. Talk had It that Mr. Byram was hurrying back from China and Mr. Kyan from Europe. The street, however, did not take the story seriously. The Montana company is one of the biggest power companies in the United States and supplies power to the Ana conda Copper company, and about 000 miles of the St. Paul railway. Specula tion as to what Ford would do with the power company was discussed in various quarters. The view was expressed that the automobile king may be planning a huge central power system covering the northern part of the country, particu larly the northwest, connecting plants on the Missouri and Ohio rivers with power plants In West Virginia and perhaps with Muscle Shoals. As to the St. Paul, it would afford an outlet to the Pacific coast in case he intended to push the sale of Ford cars In European countries. The 8t. Paul covers territory taking in Chicago. Milwaukee. St. Paul, Minneapo lis. Sioux Falls, Butte, Spokane Seattle, Tacoma and other Important points. Wall street contended, however, that the thing Is possible. The Ford com pany's latest balance sheet disclosed cash running Into the millions. Perhaps Ford thinks he can make r success of the St.. Paul as he did with his D. T. Ac I. road. The St. Paul Is In good physical condition, the management having Improved the property since 1918, and the amounts spent in this connection equal some of the biggest roads in the east and a ma jority of the western lines. The company must meet a $25,000,000 maturity in 1925. F’resident Byram, however, stated some time ago that arrangements had been made with bankers to take care of this. Foreign exchange and wheat were quiet. Cotton was slightly lower. r | New York Quotations %J New York Stock Exchange quotations furnished by J. 8.
