markable thing about the wheat market

was made today at a conference between

New, York, April 2o-The declines that
have taken place in the prices of a num-
Der of the usually active stocks within
the last few days have induced buying
for long account and as Wall street is
fast recovering from the shock caused
within a few days past by the deliberate
attempts made to misrepresent conditions
and prospects in the important iron and
steel industries, the position of profess
sional bears would appear to have be-
come somewhat precarious- Yesterdays
efforts were clearly made to test one
stock after another and the dearth Of Of
feringS caused restlesSnesS to covering
purchasers. The commitments on the
short side have increased to the extent
that in the opinion of many close observ3
ers the market generally is heavily over
sold The larger bears can not have over
looked the fact that the movements in
the securities of q number of important
properties recently would not have been
justified and could not have been sus-
tanned without a disposition on the part
of the various homogeneous to improve
their dividend paying properties. Rail-
road earnings in almost every instance
are Of the most gratifying character as
for instance the statement of net earnings
of T. c. & I. for March and the gross
returns of the railroads reporting for sec
Ond week of April.
