The stock market was chlff ly In the hands of profesaional traders and early transactions were not bereft of events comparable to those in the recent advance, centered In sharp advances of stocks in which pools are Interested. Commission lfousea have become wary since the Stutz Motor corner occurred and aje acrutlnizinif closely sales of issues known to be rlnxely held. Despite these precautions, which Includes Insistence that certificates be In hand before certain stoe4&s sre sold, the action, of one or two industrials at the openlnic indicated that efforts to cover short llnep were car ried out with difficulty. The stock ex change management will hardly be able' to rest easy until evidences come through trading that a number or stocKs nave been adequately distributed. Railroad shares were fairly firm until the laat hour reaction, which aoftened them at the same time that declinea reaching from f to nolnts were forced -In the Industrial list The weekly mercantile reviews noted that while the railroad facilities were Im proving, still delays ' in the delivery ot raw materials and finished goods were bavin ail adverse effect upon production and consumers' resistance to the high prices have been noted this week aa m&klnr the eeneral price front less stable, with consequent reflex In the attitude of both wholesalera and retailers in providing for supplies for autumn delivery. Indica- tlona ars notea or a lessening or extrava gant purchase of various (kinds of stock. Cold. Shipment Postponed. In the banking field It was Interesting to learn that a large shipment of gold to South America scheduled for tomor row had been postponed. This will mean that the federal reserve bank state ment will not disclose an expected loss of tlO.OO0.00O to tl2.000.000, which, occupied with res.rictions upon redis counts of government securities and stock market liquidations of the week, may bo reflected In a better bank position than a week ago. A decline of rediscounts of substantial proportions would act to con firm belief that the current sales of Liber ty bonds" are expedlated by corporations for tne purpose oi lncreasingsjineir casu capital. The sterling exchange market was quiet, the demand rate declining c to ?ic. French, Italian and Belgian quotations disclosed a greater selling pressure than the British market, but elements of Inter est were lacking.

C: Reports from the .spring wheat reaiona of a nlan for reduced acre age this year caused the Department of Agriculture to issue a statement urging farmers to revise their planting plants and Increase production of spring wheat ber cause of poor conditions of winter crop and continued woi .d demand for wheat. The world's demauds, It was pointed out, will be as great as usual, and none canbe expected from Australia because of a poor wheat year and tne aisorganizea transportation conditions makes Improb able the movement of the , 65.000.000 bushels Russia has announced lt will have readv for exDort, It was pointed out that the estimate of 483,6171000 bushels of winter wheat mav be reduced because of winter killed fields and indications that the Hessian fly, will be unusually active.

Grain values continue to fluctuate in a most er ratic manner. There was heavy and persistent selling of corn by houses with eastern connections credited to a leading New York stock trader, and with the continued liquidation in stocks and cotton odces were forced off after an early bulge, but the in side figures were 'not maintained. due to buying by western houses; and the close was (alj-gc lower. v Oats showed pronounced strensjth. opening 2c higher on a scarcity of offerings, and while weakening later with corn, gained Rye was in keen demand and 3H3'jC higher and barley c higher. x i Big Tight In Corn. A big fight Is on in corn with si note traders and local i professionals who are familiar with the financial situation radi cally beariah while western people in close touch with tha cash and general food situation as well as agricultural con ditions are just as radically bullish. These wiaeiy different aiews resulted In veTy rapid price changes, the1 range for the day being J4M54c on corn and 1542c on oats. With the exception of the financial re ports news affecting corn and oats were butlish.- There were export and domestic orders hero for corn that could rmt be filled on account 6f inability to makei shipments, while the east bid 18 over MSy for No. 3 white oats, New Tork rate points, for May shipment.

J Big Order for Bye. An order for 1,000,000 buihels cash rye was received at Chicago today but could not he filled. Exporters bi for wheat and rye at Duluth but no sales were re ported. The seaboard reported a good expoijt business in what and aye with indications of more business being put through, as-Argentine wheat has adttnced very rapidly of late and :s now worth considerable more than American c. 1, f., European ports.
