PRICES DROPPED
IN DULL MARKET
Reading Shares Eased Off De-
spite Favorable Report of
Earnings for April.

There was little to discuss in the days
dealings on the Philadelphia Stock Ex-
change. on the whole the tendency was
downward but declines were confined
to fractions, being chiefly due to eve
ming up of commitments In anticipation
of the holiday. United States Steel Le-
high Navigation, Cambria Steel, Pennsyl-
vania, Tonopah Belmont and Union
Traction all eased off moderately, but
tenslve. Cramp and Baldwin shares
failed to appear on the tape.
In the final dealings the arbltrage group
stlffened under the lead of United States
Steel, which recovered it's earlier loss
The close was duh and steady, with small
gains in Lake Superior and Buffalo and
Susquehanna The narrowness of the
market was illustrated by the days total
sales. which were only about $500 shares,
with more than 1890 last
Notwithstanding very encouraging
April, report of earnings Reading was de-
pressed. The railway returns more than
made UP for losses of tho coal and iron
which showed surplus Of only
Sl01,5ls, against 1922, POS n year ago. The
Reading Company gross earnings in
creased Sl929 and the net gain was $53s3
The surplus for the month was S92,iSO.
against s77O97 in 1914. From July l the
surplus was $685. llO, compared with $780,
O20 for the same period last year April
was the first month of the current fiscal
year of the Philadelphia and Reading
Railway in which the total operating rev.
enue showed an increase over the cor
responding month of the previous year
Each of the preceding nine months, be-
ginning with July, 1914, had resulted in
gross earnings OF lesser amount than in
the year ended June 80, 1914. The April
Increase amounts to only $4,000. but 1t
Is considered as a turning point for the
better in the roads business. For the 10
ended April 80 OF the current year
the railway gross is more than SS3, 100000 |
behind the corresponding period of the
fiscal year 1913-14 so, of course, there
Will be large decrease for this year,

WHEAT RECOVERED
IN LATE DEALINGS
May at One Time Was Down
Three Cents-Kentucky and
Tennessee Crops Smaller.

CHICAGO, May 29.-There was further
pressure In the grain market today, and
prices broke sharply, the largest loss
being in May, which dropped S1s cents to
s1S7%, while July lost III cents by selling
down to sL25h.
In the final dealings a frmer tone de-
veloped May recovering about half Its
loss July remained depressed.
Export sales of American wheat to the
seaboard yesterday reached 300, 900 bushels
and of oats 100000 bushels.
1t is learned from reliable authority
that Kentucky and Tennessee will not
exceed half the normal crop. Occasional
good fields are overshadowed by large
acreage that is poor and practically
worthless.
Argentine reports increasing arrivals of
wheat and corn, and increased strength of
Its reserve stocks.
The British Government, believing the
American crop advlces are tempered with
conservatism, has restricted the buying
OF the new wheat crop.
The new crop OF corn recently destroyed
IN Indiana Is being rapidly replanted.
Leading futures ranged ms follous:

LEAP IN LACKAWANNA
AND GENERAL CHEMICAL
Market Closed Strong After Ir-
regularity-73 p. G. of Mis-
souri, Pacific Notes Deposited

NEW YORK, May 2e-ro the already
long list of International complications
there is now injected the situation in
Mexico, I'm which the United States Is
taking renewed interest, and In view of
these things the stock market again
adopted waiting attitude. or rather con-
tinued 1t, today, and very little was done,
no DEFINITE trend being developed during
the two-hour session. OF course, the
German reply to the note OF President
Wilson Is the most important at the mo-
nent, and the Street anxiously awaited
the publication OF the contents In the
papers tomorrow.
What little business was done was by
traders and the market was a profess
eional one in all respects. The public
showed the same inclination to hold of
pending some favorable development
After opening Irregular the majority Of
prices however. being unchanged from
the close yesterday, the market weakened
in the last hour, due chiefly TO the desire
of traders to liquidate and straighten out
their accounts. Instead Of being strong
on the announcement of large dividends
yesterday, the copper stocks Jagged with
the rest, remaining fraction under on
the down turn the war stocks" as they
have become known. were the heaviest
losers. The decline in this group at one
time was on the average of two points.
From the low, however, some support ap-
peared, although II was not large, and
most of the losses were recovered, the
market closing strong. A good part of
the buying on this movement consisted
of covering by boardroom shorts, but
there was at the same time the usual
action by outside interests noted on all
recent recessions.
Two stocks - Delaware, Lackawanna
and Western and General Chemical -
made large gains, the former going up IL
points and the latter 8 points. Inter
borough Metropolitan shares were quite
active but irregular. following the an
that the Public Service Com
mission had decided not to raise any OBJ
jections to the company's financing plan.
1t was announced just before the close
that ls,30e,0 900 OF the si25 O00.O 900, or 73 per
cent, of the notes of the Missouri Pacific
had been deposited for extension of one
year. Some diversity of opinion was ex-
pressed in Wall Street as to the likelihood
or q sufficient amount of the notes being
turned in to warrant the success of the
plan. The company has said that unless
the plan becomes operative the interest
on the bonds, which falls due on Tuesday
will not be paid. The stock of the com
pany closed fraction higher.
