The FOUR COUNTIES BORDERING ON SAN FRANCISCO BAY
GOVERNM[NTR[PORT
SENDS WHEAT UP
Estimate OF Crop Conditions
April | Lower Than Expected
and Market Responds 4

NEW YORK. April 1t-There were
deterrent influences at work in the
speculation in the stock market last
week which might be considered to i'm
pair its reliability as basis for juds-
ment of the future
The prospect of three days recess
in the markets owing to the Easter
holidays prompted some closing out OK
commitments and of unpromising new
ventures.
An event OF Importance was the pub
Hcation Thursday OF the government
estimate on the April condition OF the
winter wheat crop. The estimate was
even lower than was expected. and the
wheat market made emphatic response.
in spite of the heavy speculation that
had been going on in that market. with
an advance to prices not touched before
since the days of the Letter deal
There was some disappointment f~N
that the supreme court refrained from
handing down its decision on the valid
ity Of the commodities clause or the
Hepburn law Monday on reconvening
after its spring recess.
The special strength shown by the
anthracite group of stocks was an evil
dence of the belief that satisfactory
settlement between the operators and
miners would be effected.
Interest in the labor problem was in
djcated by the attention paid to reports
of intended reductions by the United
States steel corporation in wages. While
immediate action was not admitted on
this subject. the probable necessity for
such action ultimately was asserted.
Here speculative sentiment took the
hopeful view from the apparent recog-
milton on the part OF the employees OF
the changed conditions involved in the
cuts in prices of products.
The continued plethora in the money
market makes an important factor in
sustaining the demand for securities.
