MARKET FEELS EFFECT
OF FRIDAY, Thirteenth

New York, June 13.--Stocks reacted
tn a reasonable extent today under the
greatest technical strain 1t lis Dos
sible to bring to bear. individuals and
corporations had to produce in round
numbers no less than "A billion dollars
to pay their income taxes. In add
ton to that, Friday !s always the worst
day in tho money market for wall
street because loans made then carry
over to Monday. There have been
about fifty million share days after
four months Of continuous advance IN
the market. And yet stocks declined
no more than they have advanced in
several single sessions recently. Half
IN hour before the close the recovery
was already in progress and from its
activity 1t was evident that most of
the selling had been professional, just
before the close the list turned weak
again. Brokers displayed no anxiety,
for their repeated warnings have
caused customers to place abundant
margins behind their trades.
Money went to 10 per cent early
in the afternoon. but this brought out
large offerings that quickly broke the
price to 8 per cent. After that sup
ply was exhausted the tag ends of
business were finished up with funds
of from 10 to 10 per cent. The aver
age price paid by brokers including
renewals WAS probably not above Z
per cent. Considering the vast amount
Of money that was borrowed today
the day was a wonderful test of the
federal reserve banking system.
Because the reason for tho reaction
In stocks was so well understood there
was not the. slightest alarm. A few
weak accounts were closed out and
very naturally some stop-loss orders
were caught. But early in the day the
" hole market had been strong, some
rather marked advances having been
recorded.
Acceptances may play an important
part in causing a more liberal policy
In regard to imitation. Such paper is
now going begging with it's little AZ
per cent rate In an 5 per cent money
market.
Professional traders did their best
to start a raid or oil stock by circu-
lating a report that owing to the
over-production in Mexico fuel oil was
selling at a cent a barrel there. The
oils. however. held fairly steady under
the attempted raid.
Tobacco stocks sold down an aver
age of three points all around. This
is only a fraction of the recent ad-
vances and was duo on technical
grounds any how.
Stocks of food companies had an
average decline of little over two
points. United States Steel yielded a
little more than two points but there
was a good market for any amount
OF the stock all day. This was true
all the steels and the reason for the
strength was the positive recovery
that is making itself felt in the bust
ness.
Rails have been so dull lately that
they persisted in being dull today
when others were actively weak. =.
Formal announcement was made OF
the merger. of the Central Foundry
company and tho Essex foundries
under the name of the Iron Products
company.

SHOWS
FORWARD TREND

New York. Jun 15-Dun's tomor-
row will say, in part:
Neither labor controversies nor for
e:gn political uncertainties have caused
deviation from tho forward trend of
business and thu constructive ele-
ments in the situation. which have un-
dergone no essential weakening, fore
shadow sustained expansion. Sup
porting the business revival. which
embraces, in a greater or lesser de-
gree, all the leading lines and extends
TO every section is the brilliant agri-
cultural outlook, as evidenced by the
official Indication of a wheat harvest
III excess Of a billion and a quarter
bushels.
With inventorying under way IN
some quarters, the dry goods markets
have been rather quteter, although the
call fer spot stocks have continued
strong and there has been little in the
way of clearance offerings at conces-
sions.
Lik last months decrease in pig
iron output, the May reduction Of
more than 500. 600 tons in the steel cor
porations' untitled orders is not repre-
sentative of existing conditions. The
falling off was larger than expected,
but June houtd make a better show

CHICAGO GRAIN MARKET.

sales IN corn by longs checked the up
ward movement today. yet resting
spots were strong with net advances
of y TO NC. AT one time September
was Sc below the low level earlier
in the week and a new high price on
the chop was. established but not held.
July corn sold from t.71ss UP to
i.7$A. There was heavy selling
around the latter level and consequent
break to. 1.T2% and 1.T2is where II
closed. September sold between 1.64s &
and 1877 and reacted and closed at
1864 and 1866; December between
l.+2a and LAZY. closing at i.43A and
la.
More conservative traders in corn
favored the hull side and the situation
was regarded more builish than when
prices were zoe below present levels.
The market has witbstood a heavy run
of corn. Spectators reached the con-
olusion that 1t was dangerous to sell
shorts and attempt to stand for a
profit.
An Argentine cable said corn for ex-
port was infected with weeyii. Con-
dition of grain has caused importers
10 look elsewhere for further supply.
Millers are averse to running weevil
corn through the mills and would pre-
fer to pay a higher price for sound

occurred in the cotton market today
with periods Of weakness and strength,
but nal quotations were steadier.
Trading became quiet in the after
noon. Part OF the liquidation was at
tributed to good weather over the
weekend and over poll
teal conditions. The report of the
Southern Products indicating
deterioration of only 80 points from
the end May figures probably was "a
disappointment to recent buyers. Stiff
fer rates for money and declines IN Sc
curities caused waves of Wall street
and Western selling.

slowly but steadily increasing. Near
