MOVING DAY FIXED
FOR MARKET DEALERS
Many Large Firms Will Be Found
After May 28 at Sixth
and Alameda

Saturday, May 2S has been decided upon
finally as the time on which occupation Of the
Los Angeles market, now located at Third
street and Central avenue. will pull up stakes
and move to the new location at the corner
of Sixth and Alameda streets. On that date
several of the largest produce firms in tho
market including Weyl-Zuckerman q Co,
Richardson q Holmes Fruit company Rivers
Brothers company, Fl. Boogar and other
firms now located outside of the Los Angeles
market will transfer their places of busi-
ness.
1t is announced by the Market Reporter
that May 2S has been selected as moving day,
as the following Monday will be a holiday
and jobbers will have very little business 70
transact This will give them practically
three days to get settled in their new quarters,
and by Tuesday morning all should be in
readiness for business to open with rush.
The south row of buildings at the new
market place-the largest and last to be
erected-are now practically completed and
will be ready for occupancy within few
days Only few minor details remain to
when the work is entirely finished they Will
he the finest and most commodious produce
houses in the United States.
The market company has had some differ
ences with the railway companies regarding
their entrance to the market grounds, but
this has practically all been settled now.
The city council let a permit last week Tor
the spur track of the Pacific Electric railroad
which is to enter the market
Work of tearing away a portion Of the
commercial warehouse, which is owned by
the market company, to make room FOR the
sDlr track of the Southern Pacific and Santa
Fe railways is in progress, and the tracks
can be laid by moving time,
W. A. Henry, secretary of the market COM
pany, said yesterday that he had application
for fifty stalls more than there are at the
market all of which goes TO show the pressing
need OF a larger place where the immense
volume of produce of this rapidly growing
cItv can be transacted.

MARKET IS SAVED
BY PROFESSIONALS
Story Of Change in Form of Read
ing Capitalization Is Re-
Vived Again
CROP ADVICES CONFLICTING
Iron and Steel Reports Also Have
Confusing Effect on
Speculation
Associated Press ]

NEW YORK, May 16.-The profess
sional operators in stocks rescued the
market from idleness today by only
narrow margin. The only news on
Reading was the revival of the reports
of an intended change in the form OF
capitalization. These reports hlnse Oh
the authority for exchange OF the
second preferred stock into half hrst
preferred and half common stock, a
DEVELOPMENT which would SIMPLY
serve at the present time to extend
to half the second preferred STOCK the
privilege of sharing with the common
stock in dividends in excess of the 4
per cent to which the preferred stocks
are now entitled.
prices rose to the best of the day
after the announcement that there
was no decision in the corporation tax
and the American Tobacco and stan
dard Oil cases had been held for hear
ing in November. The approach OF
new trading in London acted unfaVor-
ably on Canadian Pacific, which re-
lapsed sharply in spite OF continued
runners of an intended increase in the
dividend.
The declaration of a dividend on
Wisconsin Central preferred, sub
sidiary company. equally failed to hold
Canadian Pacific. The heavy tone or
Chesapeake & Ohio was due to the
receivership for the Hooking Valley
in the suit to prevent its sale to the
Chesapeake & Ohio.
The failure of a Philadelphia city
bond offering in view of the per cent
interest rate did not surprise New
York bankers, other similar bonds
being quoted on an income basis or
less than 4 per cent. Withholding OF
details of the st. Paul bond sale in
Paris kept up some feeling of suspense
in regard to that transaction.
Crop advices were mixed as between
the benefits OF rains and fears of an
other drop in temperature in the
northwest.
Iron and steel trade advices seemed
to have an equally confusing effect
on speculation. Increased demand for
some finished products contrasted with
the failure of contracted output of pig
iron to steady the price as yet.
Bonds were irregular. Total sales,
par value. 81, ,457, 900.
United States 3s declined u per cent
in the bid price on call.

CHICAGO, May 16-There has been a steady
stream of bearish news pouring into the

SO badly beaten last week that they were
afraid to SELL Nevertheless the market mas
gradually taken on a heavy tone There is
some indication that commission followers
of leading longs have been selling OUT anu
the northwest has also sold consloeraple
wheat here Northwestern markets were very
weak; in fact, this applies to all outside
