STIFFER DEMAND
FOR SECURITIES

NEW YORK. May 1.-THE per-
sistence with which stocks were
absorbed today stiffened specu- .
lative confidence and form7d the
tone OF the market. The sources
of the buying were not always
manifest, and it was met at times
by effective selling to realize prof
its on the recent advance. Such
conspicuous market leaders as the
Hartman Pacifics, Northern Pa
cifc, Chesapeake & Ohio and at
times United States steel were
held back by realizing sales of
this kind.
The quieter tone of the wheat
market today took the edge off
the effect of yesterdays sudden
slump.
There was a realization that
speculative maneuvers in that
market shared with crop condi-
tions in the price movement. The
after-effects Of the government
crop report have allayed the most
of the anxiety felt over the dam
age done to the grain crops by
the severe weather of late April.
Besides the growing influence of
the agricultural general prospect,
the securities market is having
the benefit of other general con-
siderations. The passing of the
depression caused by the success
sion TO the British throne brought
with it a sense of substantial re-
lief It was strengthened today
by the easing of the money mar
kets. The private discount rate
in Berlin was marked down a
fraction and London cables point
ed to the likelihood of a reduc-
ton in the official discount rates
of the Bank of England tomor-
row. In New York demand ster-
ling touched s4.S635, the lowest
price of the year, with some sub
sequent recovery.
A good deal of attention was
paid to the copper market and
there were many rumors of devel-
opments in that trade. Official in
formation of copper transactions,
beyond the periodical publication
of the statistics of the Copper
producers association, is not to be
had. The price of the metal ad-
vanced again here. but fell back
in London. Last months large
accumulation was attributed
mostly to the leading interest and
its control was said to have in
creased sufficiently as conse-
quence to enable it to exact the
better prices from some of the
recent buyers. A somewhat bet
ter tone also was said to be
growing up in the iron market.
Brooklyn Transit was the sub
ject of dividend rumors. Wabash
was affected by the revival of old
rumors of new control Adjust
ment of the trunk line dispute
over import freight rates and pro-
posed increases in suburban pas
senger rates out of New York
were factors in the days market
Bonds were steady. Total sales
(par value), $3,144,000.
