Ntw York, May 27. A forward
movement of stocks occurred today,
aided by the receipt of about $22,
000,000 gold at San Francisco from
the Far East, and fresh rumors that
substantial consignments : would
come shortly from London. The
far eastern treasure received for the
account of the British government
was part of the collateral behind the
loan floated last autumn by the
Pmsk government and presumably
will be used in meeting the Anglo
French loan maturity next October.
As faas information goes, nearly
hslf of the gold collateral for the
(3msk government" loan remains at
Hcng Kong and is expected to be
shipped to the United States in the
near future and as all of the incom
ing metal will find lodgment in .the
federal reserve system, Wall-Street
pictured today a strengthming of
the reserve agajnst note and deposit
liabilities, with a consequent support
of the general credit strutture. .
Rise Is Gradual.
The rise of stocks waa gradual and
after progress had been made In the
steel, oil and rome of the railroad stocks
It was noticeable that a fair amount of
prcssueTC developed, whether In the nature
or profit-taking or iresn anon aaies. ine
market's strength wai reflected particu
larly among the Industrial specialties and
one or two high priced steel ana petroleum
Isuues which vare particularly sensitive
to speculative purchases. Among these
latter stocks net gains ran from 2 to 4
points and at the end of trading the
standard issues recorded large fractional
Advances.
The recovery of Liberty bonds pro
ceeded with greater power than during
rrccedlng sessions of the week, the first
44 gaining more than 1H points, the sec
ond 4s, a full point and the second and
fturth 4lis, almost a point. The Victory
r.ctes were hr.rdly more, than steudy
and their alight reaction' at the same
time that the longer time bonds were
aihancing appeared to disclose somhlng
of an evening up process In prices of the
two classes of securities. -May
Stabilise Market. .
While no Immediate development ap
peared to explain vigorous movement, an
lr.tpresslon was obtained In banking cir
cles that a possible program for re
funding moat of the Issues in a ainirle
lonrr term loan migjjt be evolved in the
rear future with a consequent stabilizing
of the various bonds and notes.
Movements In the soveral markets
seemed to have little connection with any
thing of current moment In the Industrial
and transportation fields. Anything which
had a practical bearing upon the credit
situation, of a constructive nature, is seized
upon as bullish for stocks but misappre
hension will b attached to thought i that
Increases of the gold reserve will signal
another growth of Inflation. tRcserve hank
officials and bankers generally are com
mitted to a deflation schedule whose re
sults should be discernible with an Im
provement of railroad . freight movement.
In connection with the day'a news of gold
It wai worth recording a report that some
.4.000.000 or more of the metal held at
the reserve bank for account of the Ar

Chicago Xrlbune-Omnha Pee Leased Wire.
Chicago, May 27. Grain markets,
were decidedly unsettled. "Prices
fluctuated rapidly within a range of
445Jic on corn and i2Hc on
oats., The" markets were easier at
start, a slightly overbought condi
tion being disclosed, but scattered
buying absorbed the surplus corn in
the pit. Later there was a bigbuy
ing credited to leading eastern
shorts and a sharp bulge followed.
The upturn brought out profit-taknig
from some of the most consistent
bulls and the close was weakA with
May corn lc higher and deferred
deliveries lc lower, while oats
were UtibVAc lower, rve lc higher

drought had considerable influence
on sentiment. Later cash corn was
up l3c and there was little oppo
sition to the 'advance (or a time,
stop-loss orders being uncovered on
the bulge. '
Many Taught Long.
One 1 of the leading local .trader who
was short covered on the early break
and started to sell on the bulge, ai did
one of the largest of the local longs.
Thla filled buyers up and prlcei declined
as rapidly saa they advanced, the pit
element being cnught long on the way
down. Cash prices eased, off - quickly
and at the last were quoted aa unchanged
from the previous day'a close.
More cars are being received from east

ar expected to be very liberal and there
will be a three-day accumulation. Re
ceipts 85, cars. Field work is progressing
ra,nldly with forecast for fair and warmer.
Heavy selling by a strong commission
hnuse which has been a free buyer of late,
gave the oat market an easy undertone
from the start. .The close was about the
low point. There were liberal offerings
of May at (106, which checked any
demonstration on the bull aid-of ,that
delivery despite the premium of 56o
over the future for No. 2 white In the
sample market. Cash pricei l3c higher.
Rocolptg 61 cars.
Little Export Demand.
It was hard to buy May rye and equal
ly as harti, to buy or sell the deferred
deliveries without causing sharp changes
In prices. Export demand was reported
as absent early, and there were claims
that aoftboard exporters were trying to
resell at 'Minneapolis. Later cables were
received from the United Kingdom ask

' Pit Notes.
Mo?t of the corn traders were bearish
tonight and 'lower prices were freely pre
dicted. A few local operators were short
moderate lines. It was said that the
eastern shorts had tor the most part
covered, and also that houses with large
eastern connections were sellers on the
bulge. The general short Interest, the
cohering of which has been largely re-,
sponsible for the J80 bulge In July-corn'
from the low point of last Saturday, haa
been largely eliminated. It was espe
cially noticeable that country houses and
others who bought liberally early in the
week were active in taking profits oil
the bulges, supplying all demands and
creating several sharp breaks In the last
hour.
It was said that there are over 300
