Chicago Triuna-Omaha Be Leased. Wire.
New York, May 5. Without
much change in the scale of business
as compared with the preceding ses
sion's rather moderate turnover,
stocks were strong throughout to
day's trading. Buying of the railroad
shares, which was the most active
seen in some time could be attributed
in part to the prominence in market
comment of the movement for high
er freight rates. The presentation
before the Interstate Commerce
commission of argument in favor of
rates which would increase revenue
by more than $1,000,000,000 stimu
lated speculative fancy toward the
carriers and probably attracted some
investment buying.
It would not be surprising if the
railroad situation came in for more
attention during the next few weeks
than the industrial field, for the
transportation act necessitates a de
cided revision upward of railroad
tariffs and -, the sizable application
made of the commission by Daniel
Willard, speaking for railroad man
agements, denoted much confidence
on the part. of applicants.
Furthermore, today's news that a com
mittee of railroad presidents had moved
upon Washington to seek a doubling of
the $300,000,000 revolving fund for the
purchase of equipment and other needs
portended an active campaign to improve
the facilities of the country's roads.
Prominent railroad stocks gained from 1
to 3 points, which, while not on a par
with the broadly distributed advances of
1 to S points among the Industrials, was
reflective of a quickened Interest in
transportation shares.
' Call Honey 7 Per Cent.
Call money stood st 7 per cent all day,
lending strength to the Impression ac
quired In some quarters the day before that
stringent business credit everywhere did
not necessarily mean a contlnuance.of un
usually high demand loan rates at New
York.
The rise of Industrial shares was led by
petroleum and steel Issues, aharp advances
of the - former group denoting reluctant
offerings. The covering of short contracts
evidently supported most of the buying
and the fact that purchases of thla char
acter wero not hastily made in any stocks,
except one or two oil Issues, might be
taken ss a sign that the bear element was
willing to give ground only slowly. This
was not to be wondered at, for it Is to
be recalled that less thai a week ago the
street was steeped In gloom and since
last week's lowest prices were recorded,
there have not been many Items of really
constructive r.ews affecting the Income ac
counts of producing companies of either
current or future Import.
Indicate Better Conditions.
The natural rebound from a sharp de
cline has had a part In the price Improve
ment this week. The rise of Itself has made
sentiment more cheerful and one may
find Indications ot better conditions In
prospect In some directions, although they
may be slow In development. Steel trade
surveys, for Instance, note that raw ma
terial Is moving Into the plants and finish
ed products are being shipped somewhat
more ireeiy than a Tew days ago, shqw.
Ing a gradual recovery of railroad facil
ities from strike effects. As It may be
assured that relief at steel centers has
application also to better freight move
ment elsewhere, there Is reason to believe
that the freeing of credit tied up In
goods Is making headway In many direc
tions ana may snow results before long
in declining bank loan accounts.
Tho feature of today In the investment
field was the quick sale by a banking
syndicate of $10,000,000 Delaware &
Hundson 10-year 7 per cent bonds at
par. The bonds Immediately rose a good
sized fraction above the offering price
ou the curb. News that a number of
representative bankers have been asked
to discuss with the senate committee on
Interstate oommerce a program for fi
nancing urgent railroad needs, forecasts
vigorous measures to strengthen the fi
nancial structure of the carriers.

Chicago Grab
By Charles D. Michaels
Chicago Tribune-Omaha Bee leaaed Wire.
Chicago, May 5. An absence of
the aggressive short covering so
conspicuous Tuesday, combined with
better crop reports and sunshine,
made for weaker and lower corn
and oat markets. At no time were
the distant deliveries as high as the
previous day's close and the finish
was at net losses of lJ4-0c on,
corn and lljic on oats. May
corn acted tight and gained lc,
while May oats dropped lc. Rye
was oft VAwZc and barley lJ4c
at the finish.
Local sentiment was more dis
posed to. the selling side, the tech
nical position or the markets having
been greatly weakened by the heavy
covering of late. On the breaks,
however, there was persistent buy
ing on resting orders by commis
sion houses and a strong rally came
toward the last. Corn at the ex
treme low was off 3c and oats 2c.
Advise Caution.
A majority of the leading commission
houses continue to advocate extreme
caution on both sides of the market, and
with the underlying factors regarded as
rather bearish, there was a pronounced
disposition on the part of scattered longs
to take profits. Selling on scale orders
was a factor In checking the bulges.
It was the first day so far this awaon
that more favorable crop reports had
any effect on the market. Tho rail
situation was also better, more switching
being reported In the South Chicago dis
trict. "
("ah corn was In light supply at the
leading markets and prices at Chicago
were unchanged to 2c higher with No.

John Inglls' crop report says: There
seems to be a wave of pessimism prevail
ing in the minds over tho outlook of the
coming crop. Every destructive enemy is
brought forward as likely to materialize
in the near future as take-all, Hes
sian fly, flag imut and other destructive
forces are all predicted not only In the
wheat but likely to attack grain Just
seeded and seeding. It is safe to predict
that there will be some loss form these
causes as usual. Present weather is exceed
ingly favorable for winter wheat rfrid oats.
Stoollng Is perfect with ample moisture to
carry It forward to June, the coolness of
spring is detrimental to the Hessian fly.
They were little In evidence last year and
not likely to be very destructive this sea
son. As for flag smut It is most prevalent
where there Is a heavy crop and seldom
seen where It is light. The word is a,
misnomer. It Is only a block head. There
Is still a possibility that the winter wheat
may make 600,000,000 bushels. With a
spring wheat crop of 300,000,000 bushels
and a carry-over of 150.000,000 bushels
there Is no Immediate prospect of famine
either at home or abroad.

Urges Increase in Freight
Rates on Canadian Roads
Montreal, May 5. Increased
freight rates in Canada are necessary
to give railroads adequate revenue,
E. V. Beatty, president of the Ca
nadian Pacific Railroad company,
declared at the annual stockholders'
meeting.
While the gross earnings, of the
Canadian Pacific in 1919 were the
largest in its history, Mr. Beatty
said, the net earnings showed de
creases - because of increases in
wages and prices of materials, and
represented a return of only 4 per
cent on the capital cash invested in
the railroad itself:
Directors and officers of the com
pany were re-elected.
