FINANCIAL AND CONMEn,SoIAL
MARKET WAS DULL.

New York, April 4.-Regardless of the more reassuring natUve of domestic ad- vices over the weekend, the stock mar ket today resumed it's reactionary and sluggish course several leaders breaking into new low ground for the year or longer period.
 The stronger bank position, as disclosed by the higher ratio of gold reserves held by federal reserl le institutions and com prehensive survey of countrywide busi- ness conditions indicating an increase of production. evidently were not regarded as factors of more than passing influence.
 Steels, equipments and related shares yielded to pressure, probably Because of an increasing belief that price and wage reductions are inevitable and othe1 stocks of miscellaneous character eased for more specific or definite reasons.
 Oils, particularly the Mexican group, lacked the support usually accorded those shares Mexican Petroleum dropped 4 58 points tc~135 3-S, its lowest quotation in more than two years and others of the same class suffered extreme declines of l to almost points.
 Inconspicuous specialties with little or no public following were among the other backward issnes. Passing of the Ameri- can Beet Sugar common dividend seemed to have been discounted by last week reversal.
 A marked change for the better came l over the list of the last hour, prices ral. 1 lying l to points as shorts covered or ] the 1-2 per cent call money rate in the i open market although S per cen. wa ] the lowt ! rate quoted on the ex. hango Sales alAounted to 535,oo shares.

PROMISE NEW EXPOSE IN BASEBALL SCANDAL

Chicago, April Promises of a new expose in the baseball scandal came from an unexpected quarter today when at torneys defending the eight Chicago White Sox players indicted with ten others for conspiracy in the alleged throwing of the 1919 world series announced they had un- covered a real scandal in which men hitherto not mentioned in the case had won more than S300,000 on the series.
 The statements were made by Attor- neys Benedict Short and Michael Ahearn when they made motion before Judge Charles A. Mcdonald for reduction in bail of the defendants. Judge Mcdonald reduced the bail for the seven indicted
 White Sox players from maximum of sS,000 to each to s7.5o0 but announced
 he would permit no reduction in the cases | of the alleged gamblers.
 | Mir. Short and Mir Ahearn refused tc 1 go into details concerning their charges ! of a new scandal, but promise that tho ffull particulars would be made public

CHICAGO GRAIN MARKET.

Chicago, April 4.-Rains in the west and southwest had a bearish influence on the wheat market today, but the effect was nearly counterbalanced by liberal ex- port business. The market closed unset tied at 1 1-4c net decline to a like ad vance with May s1.3s 1-4 and July s1.1A. Corn finished unchanged to 3-8c higher and oats gained l.-4 to 1-2c. In provisions the outcome was a setback of 27 to roc.
 At first a majority tf wheat traders were apparently inclined to the belief in rising market on the ground that all known bearish fact ITS had bten discount ed, and that rally was due. Then came word of rainy weather in Nebraska and Kansas, together with predictions of rnois ture throughout the greAter part of the winter wheat belt. Ilasmuch as cron prospects were thus materially improved an increase of selling pressure soon be- came apparent, especially in the July de livery. Later on reports of heavy ex- port business the market rallied and dur ing later dealings the May option in par 1 ticular shows comparative strength. Corn and oats were guided largely by | the changes in wheat. A persistent rural demand for small lots of corn was noted Liberal increase of western stocks of meats and lard tended to deprive the pro- | vision market of support.
