WHEAT AVERAGES HIGHER
ON TARIFF POSSIBILITIES

CHICAGO. April 23. Wheat has
averaged higher in price this week.
aided by apparent likelihood of quick
final action on the emergency tariff
and by extremely bullish crop ad-
vices from India Compared with a
week ago. wheat this morning
showed gains varying from IL to
8A bushel: corn was up 81 to
4Aa5: oats, ] Y to 2%, and provisions,
2h to 70.
Passage of the emergency tariff bill
through the House Of Representatives
had an immediate bullish influence on
the wheat market, an influence which
subsequently was emphasized by gos-
sip that the bill would receive the ap-
prova1 of the Senate. In a like man
ner eleventh hour stoppage Of an ex-
tension Of labor difficulties in Great
Britain was supplemented yesterday
by signs that the English coal min
ers' strike might soon be brought to
a finish.
Prospects that the wheat crop of
India would be 100 900. 900 bushels
less than last years total and that
no exports need be looked for this
season from India, Russia or the Bal
kans counted also in favor of the
bulls. and so. too, did scattered re-
ports of domestic crop deterioration.
On the other hand. breaking values at
winnipeg. together with continued
arrival of Canadian wheat at Mjnne-
apolis and Duluth. were factors at
times in depressing the market here
to new low prices for the season.
Independent strength in corn and
oats was promoted by big export sales
Of corn.
Provisions reflected the advance in
grain.

TRADE CONDITIONS.

NEW YORK April 23-Dun's re-
view of trade says:
After long continued liquidation,
more stability has developed in some
markets, with a definite gain in bust
ness. Completion Of the readjustment
is yet to be attained in many in
stances and improvement is not gen
eral. but basic conditions are gradu-
ally Strengthening. A tendency to-
ward easing of the monetary strin-
gency. partly reflected in some lower
ing Of discount rates, is a. favorable
augury. and freer marketings of
grain are making. for a lessening of
the financial tension in county dis
tricts. Recent sudden changes in
temperature have been detrimental
alike to crop advancement and sea-
yet weather influences are secondary
to some other factors in the present
situation, questions of prices and
wages being uppermost.
"Cool, even cold weather" says
Rradstreets, with the accompani-
ment of rains, SHOWS. light to heavy
frosts and bad roads, tended to re-
tard farm operations, injure some
crops, dull retail trade and slow
down collections. but better weather
later resulted in expansion in this
line. On the other hand, jobbing
and wholesale trade, more especially
in the secondary markets of the
north and west, evinced more life,
and, coupled with better reports from
some industries, particularly automo-
biles, hides. leather and shoes, seemed
to offer something like a balance to
the early quieter tone of final distri-
button. Mail order trade seems to be
better than in recent months"

STOCKS VERY IRREGULAR
GREATER PART OF WEEK

NEW YORK. April 23-The stock
market was extremely irregular dur
ing the greater part of the week,
mainly because of the heaviness of
rails, steels and related issues and
the comparative strength and activ-
ity of oils, motors and their sub
salaries.
In the later dealings. however. the
market evidenced a decidedly strong
to the accompaniment of very ex-
tensive dealings. in which short COW
ering was an important factor.
The money market also was an I'M
certain quantity. call loans holding
for the most part at 6k per cent
resulted in such a large demand for
funds that the rate soon went back
to the higher quotation.
Industrial and general economic in
huences were mainly toward bet
terment. although price cuts in steel
and iron seemed to stimulate little
activity. Domestic trade conditions
indicated an expansion of recent de-
mand for seasonal staples. but lead
ing commodity markets were oc-
casionally unsettled.
Bankers expressed hope of early
improvement in the investment situ-
a ton, pointing to the success of the
zation as proof that money from such
sources is available for legitimate
purposes.
International remittances manifest
ed more stable tendencies, due in part
to belief that the British labor crisis

German reparations situation also ef-
fected partial restoration of quota
