Less Cheerful Tone Marks
Stock Trading During Week
New York, May 15. Sentiment In finan
cial circles this week was frankly less
cheerful, tlds feeling finding more direct
expression In renewed, if moderate, liquida
tion, further professional selling and negli
gible publlo interest. .
The railroad strike with its serious re
sults to almost all lines of industry, ad
ditional credit restrictions and cumulative
signs of a slowing down of general busi
ness emboldened an already , large short
account to extend its aggressions.
Standard rails and Industrials suffered
almost in equal measure with speculative
issues. -strengthening the Impression prev
alent In many quarters, that a large prep
aration of the offerings was of- an in
voluntary character.
This same condition dominated the bond
market, where practically all of the do
mestic war flotations. In striking contrast
to British Issues of the same class re
corded new levels of discount. Lowest
quotationa were made by Liberty bonds
fniinwin? the announcement that new
Ltreasury certificates of indebtedness are
to be on a 5' per cent oasis.
Local banking conditions, it was general
ly agreed, are on a firm foundation but
the tenor of advices from western and
southern reserve centers again reflected
the rigid attitude of the federal reserve
board concerning nonessential credits.
Little If any relaxation of money ratea
is anticipated before the' expiration of the
fiscal year. By that time, however, 1t is
believed that many underwrltings, chiefly
for account of rdllroad reconstruction, will
have progressed to the point of successful
completion. - ,

and Industrial News of
Financial
V-ilcago Trlbune-Omal.a Bee Leased Wire,
New York, May 16. One favor
able aspect of 4i generally unfavor
able credit and business situation is
the present success railroad com
panies of excellent resources are
having in raising new1 capital. True,
the cost is high. It is a wrench for
railway managements to jay 7 ioTi
per cent for funds when they recall
the 3 and 4 per cent market for long
term bonds in the 90's, but this is
overshadowed by the certainty '61 in
creased revenue based on property
investments which take account of
the appreciation of values up to cur
rent standards.
Nqw that an eager public demand
for iirst class railway .notes and
short time bonds has Jieen uncov
ered, the question may be raised
whether it could not have been
availed of some months ago at 7
per cent. If the railroads had
pressed upon the market immediate
ly after the roads were returned to
the stockholders, before then began
to suffer from new strikes and em
bargoes, it is conceivable that hun
dreds of much needed cars and loco
motives would now be under con
struction, which, in many cases, are
still to be ordefed.
Outlay for Equipment.
However, sights should not be lost to
the fact tliat more than 8100,000.000 ot
new securities offerings were distributed
during the year prior to the transac
tions of this month, and the proceeds of
a large part of this total will be seen In
new equipment betfore the autumn crop
moving begins. The matter of immediate
importance Is the fact that, while credit
la exceedingly tigh't investment money is
plentiful when a high return and ample
security Is offered.
Lsst week $50,000,000 of railroad se
curities were absorbed .with such ease
that offering bankers found their most
difficult task In paring down allotments.
More are coming this week and signs
have not yet been discovered of an ap
proaching aaturatlon point in the mar
ket. The week's financing bore out sur
prisingly tho contention of bankers before
the senate Interstate commerce commit
tee a few days ago that roads of recog
nized good credit should be left to finance
themselves. In so far as the process may
be extended, Just so far will the treas
ury's burden under provisions of the
transportation act be eased.
It appears now as though the original
provision of $300,000,000 of treasury funds
for railroad requirements will be extended
by several "hundred millions, paving the
way for the needs of -the roads which
would have difficulty in selling their
paper to private Investors.
Principle Involved. ,
A double-barreled principle is involved
in the action to be taken at Washington.
First, adequate assistance for the 'veaker"
roads will work to alleviate such In
tolerable transportation conditions as
shippers and consumers of goods are suf
fering from, and second, 'the Investment
market wUI be -conserved at a trying
period for prime securities. It is not
difficult to picture the adverse effect
upon existing bonds and notes of forced
offerings of oaper bearing 9 Per cent
interest, say. paper issued by companies,
which, in normal times have a substantial
Investment following.
invents of the last few days have shown
more clearly than before the Intimate re
lationship between railroad transporta
tion and credit and the attendant rela
tionship between the former and living
costs. At a time when the effort of
bankers had been to get real and far
reaching support from the public. In tho
work of deflation of prices and credit,
extraordinary congestion ori the railroads
came along to handicap the undertak
ing. From all parts of the country are
coming complaints," hardly less in volume
from the man in the street than xfrom
corporations which are unable to move
their products to market. It might be
too much $0 state that the railroad situ
ation is the keystone to the entire credit
and price structure, but certainly the
banks would be In a far better position
to get their loans down If It were pos
sible for manufacturers and merchants
to lighten their accumulations of goods.
A man cannot pay off his loan when
the products, which represent that loan,
cannot be delivered and sold. 1
Outlook Not Promising, f
The outlook Is not promising for an
expansion of credit for use In speculation.
Eartern federal reserve banks are lending
extensively to reserve banks of the In
terior, especially in the grain and live
stock territory and the appearance of
last Saturday s clearing house bank state
ment seemed to show that they were also
ext-.-.tuli-ig accommodations to correspond
ents on a larger scale than before. Tire
large expansion of loans and increase of
rediscounts at the reserve batik of New
York may have reflected operations at
tendant upon the week' financing, but
the movement were not accounted for to
any degree by etock market dealings.
Or. the contrary, fresh liquidation of
speculative accounts was evidently dis
closed in a decline of about 2Va point In
the average price of stocks. So far, how
ever, there have been few indications of
public liquidation of securities. Professional
speculators were busy for a. time last
week in depressing quotation, but even
their operations slackened and the turn
over was 14 per, cent less than the week
before. The Impression that many stock
have reached levels where ihey are
"cheap" prevails widely. But the eredit
.tension discourages buying on margain.
particularly, as no one may venture a
prediction whether or not money supplies
will be more reajrlc.ted before a positive
appearance of easement is seen.

Chicago Grain '
By CHARLES D. MICHAELS.
Chicago Tribjine-Omaha Bee Leased Wire.
Chicago. May 15. While all de
liveries of corn sold at new high
figures on the crop early, the best
prices were not maintained, due to
profit-taking. On the declines there
was good support from commission
houses and the close was 'Aic
higher. Oats finished unchanged to
4c up, rye ylc higher and bar
ley unchanged.' As compared with
a week ago corn was 3 H7c higher,
July leading; oats f$loC higher
on the near and J-gc lower on Sep
tember, rye l6yic higher and
barley unchanged '
Larger receipts, arrivals being 65
cars, led to local pressure at the
opening, but commission house buy
ing absorbed the offerings and short
covering carried prices up into new
ground. vOn the bulge profit-taking
by a local professional started
values downward and with reports
fhat the rail strike might be
settled within the next few days.
July dropped 2j$c," getting support
at $1.78 and at .77Vi on the way
down on resting orders.
General Temper Bullish.
The reneral tenmer of the pit element
was bullish and in many cases traders said
they wanted to see cars delivered to west
p(rn roads before they would believe claims
that 20,000 box cars were, to come from
eastern lines. Omaha shipped 64 cars
of cash corn to Chicago in addition to 70
cars earlier in the week. Sample values
were unchanged to 2c lower, closing easy.
The east cancelled 20,000 bushels.
Oats fluctuated raoidly within com
oaratlvely narrow limits. Commission
hmi,,i were on both sides of the mar
ket, with !ome disposition to buy July
and sell the September, the difference
Hirhtlv. Premiums in the earn
nle markets were unchanged to a shade
easier, the latter on No. 3 white, which
brought 89c over May. No. 2 white In
store sold at 7c over May. Receipts. 68
cars, with sample values unchanged to lc
higher. .
Shorts Bunt Cover.
Strength in corn started .shorts in rye
to .covering and made a higher range,
jr.rnnrt bids at the seiboard were reported
far out of line. No. 2 on track sold at
May price for full cars and lc under for

disappointment with the wtathrr '
conditions which have devtlopea '
during the past' week. Generally
however, the first two days of the
week admitted of farm work in the
Missouri valley, though light show,
ers fell on both days in many lo
calities. .Com. planting was under
way pretty generally all over Iowa
and Nebraska. Tuesday night's rain,
however, put a stop to all farming
operations in the corn belt east of .
the Loup river in Nebraska. The
rains were heaviest north and east,
Sioux City reporting two inches, Des
Moines, 2.26 inches. South Dakota ,
which needed dry weather and sun
shine more than any western dis
trict was in the path of the heaviest
precipitation and has a gloomy out-,
look on account of delay in complet
ing seeding of small grains, though
where seeding is done the stand is
satisfactory as a rule. All small
grains are doing well in Iowa ex
cept in some fields in the north cent
tral district which got too much ram
during the week.. Numerous reports
have come to this office from county
agents in Nebraska who are enthu
siastic over the growth of winter
wheat, other small grain, alfalfa and s
pastures, especially in the southern '
and eastern parts of the state. The
sunshine and normal temperatures
of last week put the magic touch of
spring on all vegetation. But some
anxiety is expressed for the stand,
of corn already planted, as seed is .'
often of doubtful quality and none
but the' best seed will give a good
stand when the weather turns col,
and wet after planting. S,T ;
The dry parts of Texas, Okla"
homa and Kansas got an abundance
of rain, central and northern Texas
reporting "too much." Missouri and
Arkansas were ako in the path ol
this southern precipitation, Missouri ;
stations on Thursday reporting as
high as 2.52. ",
The weather continues cool east el
the Mississippi river through to the'
Atlantic coast. Freezing tempera
tures were recorded over the great
lakes and New England states, the
temperature in the latter district
ranging from 3 to 6 degrtes below
normal. The low temperatures oi
the last half of the week gave very
light frosts at many points but no
damage is reported even to very,
tender vegetation. Fruit bloom is
so abundant that it is generally bev
lieved a full Crop of fruit will "set",
though cool, cloudy weather is not .
generally favorable to successful,
polinization of fruit bloom.
