DEPRESSING FACTORS IN

CHICAGO. May 2s-Confidence re-
garding high prices of grain has
shown remarkable vitality this week
in view of the semi-panic which pre-
ceded. Failure of receipts. to enlarge,
together with planting delays. de-
creased production and Australian
drought. gave renewed courage to
bulls. Compared with a week ago
corn quotations this morning were y
cent to 9 cents higher. oats up 1H
to 3A cents and provisions at gains
of to IS cents.
1t quickly became evident that
many influential traders believed the
drastic declines which had been wit
messed were more than sufficient to
discount all depressing features of
the corn market. Upward swings
began with general notice of plant
ing tardiness. due to wet soil condi-
tions. Later the persistent dearth OF
receipts was given more and more
heed.
Next came a statement by Herbert
Hoover referring to possible depend
ence of this country on overseas food
supplies. Word of disastrous drought
affecting the Australian wheat crop
followed, and wheat prices jumped Z
cents a bushel overnight. Subse-
ouently, however. bulls received a
hard Jolt from untrue reports that
the switchmen's strike had been set
tied and from prospects of a decided
increase of corn receipts next week:
Ideal weather accelerated down
turns OF the oats market.

of demand for provisions was ap-

10000 Miles Of Railroads.
To again place the 10000 miles Of
Mexican railroads in working condi-
tfon Is a herculean task and one for
which the administration now at an
end was obviously unified.
The best method of estimating the
possible productive power of Mexico
in times of peace and tranquility IS
to first comprehend what has been
done in spite of the handicaps and
discouragements of the Carranza ad-

STOCK TONE is STEADIER,

NEW YORK. May .29.-Correctiye
measures again were enforced in the
financial markets this week as indi-
Gated by the smaller operations on
the stock exchange. The tone was
steadier. however. and greater con-
fidence prevailed.
The process of price reduction ex-
tended to the point where it encom-
passed provisions and other food
stuffs. albeit. in moderate degree.
while such commodities as textiles
and feathers experienced further de-
probation.
On every hand it was conceded
that substantial benefits already have
resulted from additional curtailment
of credits, except in instances where
this policy has temporarily affected
productive enterprises and legitimate
business expansion.
The turn into June brought no ap-
parent change in the local money
market, call loans standing through
