FINANCES AND MARKETS
Republican A. p. Leased Wire1

NEW YORK, April IS. - (Wall Street. left largely to its own de- vices when not under further pro- fessional pressure, tod1y's market sagged after an early demonstration of irregular strength. in which all but a few special stocks participated.
 Less thar q dozen different issues chief of which were United States Steel, marines, metals, motors, equip ments and munitions. made up al- most three. fourths of the days total turnover of 51O.000 shares. Rails were at no time a factor. aside from their comparative strength.
 The conflicting sentiment prevailing in speculative quarters was seen in the contrary course pursued by stocks of that caiiber.
 Oils, tobacco fertilizers and ship pings were mostly lower. Reading. Union Pacific and Canadian Pacifi : were the features Of the railway group. Coppers made virtually no headwav.
 United States Steel derived much of it's strength from estimates of earnings for the fiji st quarter of the year, soon to be published.

MARKET NEWS By R. Allyn Lewis

The conviction is growing i'll some quarters that the Steel Corporation may decide to use its heavy cash as- sets to pay off it's mortgage. Judge Gary's statement that no large divid- end reserve fund will be set aside is indicated as confirming the belief that the money will be used for bond retirement.
 The coming report of Steel, com mon, for the quarter ending March. will show earnings considerably in excess Of the three months preced- ing. This IS the general conviction. and It is simply a question of how much the increase will be- In the December quarter the net was s106,- 0O0,000; in the March quarter, esti- mates range all the way from $110,- 00O,0e0 to $120,000, 900. In the light Of these enormous totals, it is not d matter of vital importance. With steel stock at the present low prices, if Steel Corporation does have to pay s65,o0o,000 taxes, as against a little less than s27,000,0n0 last. year, it matters little.
 The lowest that Maxwell, second preferred, reached in the Fe1ruary smash was 39. This was the low. also, all last year. Yesterday it sold under 31, and the first preferred got down tC it's previous low of 64. It was real liquidation, for the most part brought about for reasons now well known. but reasons which were emphasized by the very low selling prices of the first and second pre- ferreG. Studebaker got down below SS; Willys was held up because of its selling extra dividend. One of the particular topics around the street vas the marine mystery. No information could be secured regard ing the date upon the move which admittedly is going to be seriously curtailed
 General Electric earned equivalent to $lS.31 a share on 1,015150 shares, against S11 56 in 1915.

CHICAGO GRAIN

CHICAGO, April 1S.-Upturns ir wheat values today resulted from ex- port interests buying nearly 3,000.000 bushels of May delivery. and also purchasing literally of the July op- tion. On the advance May showed at one time a bulge of 13c over the lowest level of the session. The close for May and $1.97A to $1.97s for July, with the market as a whole to SRc above yesterdays finish Other leading staples, too, all scored net gairs-corn. 1Ic to 3Ac: oats hc to 1AcM13sc, and provisions 200 to 62c
 One of the chief influences which at first gave wheat prices a tenn porary setback was an enlarged esti- mate of the stock on hand in Can ada. It was said the aggregate was 11G 100000 bushels, as against recent computations of 75,O00,009 bushels.
 Corn paralleied the action of wheat and ascended very close to the high est figures on the crop. The volume of trade was rather light In oats brisk demand from cash houses and the seaboard made strong marke. almost from the beginning.
 Provisions rallied when grain turned decisively upward. In the earlier dealings the market was de- pressed by the weakness of hog values
 Close:
 Wheat, May. s232A; July, s197A
 Corn, May, s1411s; July. $137.
 Oats, May. 667sc; July, 6ilsc
