Short In ecrn have greatly reduced :belr lines, and a few of the locale have Howed large proflta to get away, a they cam in today around the best prices. The Impression prevailing among tha con servative trading element that caution should be used In making long com , mlllment on bulges or In getting short an break at present. With a reduction In the short Interest, the technical posi tion ol both corn and oata has -been wet-kfned. It waa claimed that while a nuriber of tha eastern short had covered there romalna a considerable outstanding shortage. July corn af the top today Hhowed gains of llo and oats 6e from the low on Saturday, while May corn waa up HHo and oat, Itto. Leading commission houses with east ern connections, who were the most active seller of corn and oats all last week, have bten the largest buyer of July and Sep tember corn and oata the last two days, part of It being credited to a few local operators who have been bullish. " One of the leading local caah corn han .dlera In discussing the apparently small sales of corn to the east for many weeka past said It was due entirely to tha fact that they did not care to sell, previous Miles having resulted in considerable losses. The car situation has made a most unsatisfactory condition east, but should care be secured he doubted whether suf ficient corn would be on hand to fill the demand. Louisville wa a buyer of Jaslt oat at Chicago today. A car of- corn recently aold her for $5,454. It contained 142,000 pound and waa aold for $2.17 per bushel. Argentina cable report a heavy supply of tonnage with steamer freights to Amer ica 311 per ton on grain, with aaller ob tainable at $8 per ton. ' There la a atronr bullish feellnc oa corn and oat In some quarters. In the last ' few dan a few lota of May corn have been bought at Chicago by feeder who believe that the future waa at such a big discount under the cash that it .would be well to buy it rather than secure their requirement In the sample market. May corn and oata have been acting very tight for some .day past.- ' A liberal number of bog car have been arriving In the west the last few daya and country loading are much larger. It Is believed, that tke grain will be well distributed among tha primary markets. Chicago Closing Prices. By Updike Grain Co., Doug, tin. May . Omaha Grain Omaha. May 33.

Stocks re sponded today to a relaxation of emphasis upon unfavorable events with' the. most vigorous rally seen this month. In addition, the retire ment of short contracts was made more difficult than the day before by the appearance of developments, which, while not full-grown nor es pecially vigorous, were welcomed by Wall street," whose feelings in respect to cheerful matters had threatened to become calloused. Industrial shares advanced from two to five ooints. The ' copper group, long in the doldroms, awak ened rather suddenly .with upturns of two to four points, and the rail road department displayed strength which was only less substantial than that of the industrials. Liberty bends improved all around. 'Cotton advanced and again marked gains were recorded in the grain and pro visions markets. f . Sentiment Improved. A ready exnlanatlon of the general re covery lay in the efforts of shorts to retire a part of their commitments, out 11 wouta not be going far afield to refer to possl- h nurcnasM ror tne lona account oy .per sons who either elected to average down holdings acquired at lower levels or sought to profit by an Improvement of sentiment over the Industrial situation. That sentiment was better than last week was disclosed through banking and brokerage comment, which seemed to re fleot. information coming from many sources. FerhaDS the chief basis' lay in fakenlnr nf nrlce cuts in the mer i-hanrtlaa field and In less publicity with out cancellations of orders at mill and factory, but there waa more positive mat ter than this to lighten the outlook. Study of Msrch railroad, earnings, the latest available showed substantial Improvement in contrast with a year before in case of several of the leading systems. Maimt Mnrkrt Yeer. Th. money market also had ' influence upon speculative transaction in biocks. While time loan rates were -not quotable at levels' lower than those of the preced ing day, and last week aa well, there were freer offerings and the market "felt" a, trifle easier. Governor Harding asserted that if unsold portions of last year's crops can be moved to maraec oeiore me new crop comes along sufficient credit will be released to aia in oiisetiing auiumn.uo tmandn. While sterling wa quiet and hardly more than ateady, the exchanges, of oen tral European countries showed the ef fect of heavy purchases, especially In Ger man exchange. Also, there was a strong advance of Italian rates and French rates moved forward. N. Y. A H. R..... 63H 47 Erie R. K. ...... 11 llVi Gt. Nor. pfd...... Ti, 71 Illinois Central.,. 83 S 33 M K.
