STOCK MARKET HAS
Big GAINS FOR DAY
| New York Market Regains Strength
on Standard Issues.
by BROADAN WALL.

New York, April ae.-Stocks were
strong in the half session today, the
close being active and with many net
gains in both specialties and standard
issues. Steel was the backbone of
the market, advancing at one time
more than a point. Superior Steel.
Submarine Boat. Corn Products, Dis
tillers and Studebaker were the most
active specialties. The Malt raiders
suspended their assault as did the ru-
NOR raiders on Distillers. Cotton
went TO new low levels but closed
relatively firm in view of the good
crop reports.
War news was encouraging. Wall
Street figures that this battle will last
all summer and will be decided by the
weight of shells. Announcement that
the allies were able to produce NUM-
tlons faster than consumed in the
battle means victory.
Buying OF steel was based on eXpec-
tation of the usual extra 3 per cent.
Superior Steel had a sharp upward
movement based upon the generally
good condition OF the Industry.
Denial of the report that the govern
ment intended to commander all the
whiskey in the country gave Distillers
a sharp recovery. American Sumatra
crossed par again on further buying.
Corn Products was an interesting
feature of the market with an ad-
vance Of l rs to a new high record
Of 80.
Utah Capper made its annual report
for 1917 showing that the cost of cop
per produced was 1895 cents a pound
compared with an alleged cost of 6g5
cents a pound in 1916
Appointment of John D. Ryan as
head of the aviation program means
that at least one very important
manufacturing company will go into
the aeroplane business in competition
with the Curtiss Company.
Money was quiet with a per cent
rate prevailing for most loans. The
money rate is delicate one as it is

sonts OF labor saving devices were
used and there was q new one
OF special interest, and Importance
representing a great achievement
OF an inventor. This Is an APP
paratus which is called a pipe
screwing machine whereby the
pipes are jointed.s So successful
was this apparatus that the pips
lines owned and operated by other
companies adopted 1t and the labor
saving element alone is proved by
the ability of the machine to do
each one Of them in day the work
which formerly required at least
forty men.
The Modern way.
There has always been some fas-
cination felt by the public due to the
building and operating Of the pipe
lines whereby petroleum Is conveyed
from the source of production many
hundred miles to the refineries and
to the seaports. But the general idea
associated with this work has been
that after the oil has been placed
in a pipe Il flows naturally and In
unbroken currents to its destination.
Instead of that the crude oil travels
in relays. Whenever 1t arrives at
any Of the pumping stations 1t is de-
livered into q tank. From this tank
lit reenters the pipe on the further
side and is forced by the pressure Of
the pump to the next station. On the
new line between Oklahoma and Chi
cago there are thirty-five steel tanks.
each of which has the capacity OF
100 barrels.
The construction of this new pipe
line. which stretches without break
excepting at the tanks. from Okla
homa and Kansas oil fields to Chi
cago. Is regarded in Washington and
by leaders OF American industry as
an industrial triumph of great MILL
tary importance at this time. One
feature of the construction which is
regarded az remarkable is the rapid
ity with which the work was done.
It entailed the employment of about
a thousand men. The first length Of
pipe was placed in the trench in Mo-
vember of 1916 and the last length
of pipe was connected on Lincoln's
birthday, 1915. The line was put into
operation almost Immediately. This
phase of the oil industry. which Is to
be initiated by other oil companies,
will. 1t Is believed, go very far to-
wards satisfactorily solving the prob
lem referred to by President Wilson
in his proclamation Of January 81,
1918.

CHICAGO GRAIN.
By JOsEPH y PRTTCHARD.

BY JOSEPH ?. PKITCHAID.
Chicago. April 2s-The action OF the corn
market in advancing much as 2S oents was
the inst actual reflection Of the possibilities Of
u shortage in the area seeded this spring in
that grain. The weather could hardly have been
more unfavorable the past two weeks Private
sdFices say that the planting OF corn is further
behind shan in . decade.
, Had not corn advanced there probably would
have bon = severe price decline in oats instead
of gains Of SaS cent. Trade in oats was mainly
local aud the feelirg was beArish. Exports
bids from the seaboard were 10 cents over
the May future on track here Premiums in
the sample market here were unchanged.
The lard market was not only the strongest
but IL was the most active because Of the re-
port that allOtmsns of that commodity have
been given to tho Belgian relief. Trade on thu
other hand Was small.
