NOTHING STARTLING
IN DAYS MARKET

New York, April o.-The brief ses-
sion of the stock market today calls
for no extended comment: dealing
with falling to nominal proportions.
The few changes were without i'm
portance and resulted mainly from
week end short coverings. Rails of
the more acceptable type and several
of the prominent industrials and food
issues were again under moderate
pressure, notably PENNSYLVANIA. which
registered q new low for many years
at 32%.
Oils and a few related issues. motors
but the movement was exceedingly
contracted, many popular issues re-
manning unquoted.
Sales, $4,000 shares.
The bord market reflected the slug
gish course of stocks. an irregular
tone prevailing among Liberty issues
and most etjer domestic bonds. Inter-
national issues were featurelcss. Total
sales, par value; $4,325. 900.
Features of the weekly clearing
house report included an actual &C.
900 in holdings of members AT the fed
eral reserve bank and I contraction of
| nearly 500, 900, ,0GO in net demand de-
posits. Cash holdings decreased about
| SIS, 100000 leaving a deficit of 1881, 800
below legal requirements.
General news embraced the weekly
surveys of business conditions by trade
authorities and the March tonnage .e-
! port of the United States Steel cor
poration showing a further reduction
of about $4,000 tone in untitled orders.

FROST PROSPECTS
AID GRAIN PRICES

Chicago ILL.,, April s.-Forecasts of
freezing weather aided the grain mar
kets today after depressing economic
news from England and scattering
selling had started prices downward.
At the finish, wheat was un:hansed to
1Ac up including May s1.s3N to s1.a4
and July $1.12x to $1.13: corn was y.
@Ac to A@Hc net higher, oats showed
a net gain of &c to &c ana provisions
were unchanged to 20c higher.
While May wheat showed an easier
tone and sold at the lowest tigure on
the crop, July was firmer and aver
aged higher because Of buying in
duced by forecast for freezing tenn
peratures with reports of u to inch
Of Ice in parts of Nebraska and Iowa
last night.
While no damage was claimed, the
trade was apprehcnsive that the crop
might receive serious setback and
the May-July spread narrowed with
much selling of May and buying Of
July.
The scaboartl reported $50 900 bush
els sold to Germany and Belgium. It
was estimated that the United states
has 25,000,O00 bushels sold for expor: to
June 1,
Corn and oats showed a rnthcr firm
undertone with some buying of oats
on reports that the freezing telnpera-
lures had done some damage. Coun-
try offerings were limited.
Provisions averaged higher with lard
showing the most strength, the uptuin
in hogs being the main influence.

OKLAHOMA OIL PRICES
AFFECT KENTUCKY CRUDE
BY SAMUEL M. ROSENTHAL.
International News Service Staff
Correspondent.

OIL CITY, Pa, Sept. 13.-Equaliza-
tion of the difference in the cost of
the Somerset, Kentucky, grades of
crude oil and that from the 3fid-Con-
tinent field. according to interests
close to the Standard on Company
are largely responsible for the Increase
in the price paid for Somerset, which.
after period of nearly two months OF
unchanged crude prices, have been in
creased to $1.10 for the heavy and
S1.25 for the light grades.
This increase in price still makes it
possible, it is explained. for Somerset
right and heavy to compete with the
lower priced Mid-Continent grades at
seaboard, when transportation charges
are taken into consideration.
At the same time it is admitted that
production of the Somerset grades has
not been holding up. and they are not
quite so easy to obtain.
In the Pennsylvania crude fields the
increase in price is viewed with con-
siderable interest, and opinions are
conflicting.
Increase in Penn. Doubtful.
While it is generally admitted that
the increase in the price of Somerset
should have stabilizing and strength
enjng effect upon crude markets gen.
orally, Independent refiners believe
that the continued scarcity of an out
let for anything but gasoline precludes
the probability of an increase in the
Pennsylvania grade in the near future.
Because there is little moving in the
line OF refined products excepting
gasoline. and that under such condi-
/ tions that Oklahoma crude at $1.25 a
barrel less than Pennsylvania affords
nearly as much gasoline, one refiner
believes that it is not likely that an in
crease in price will come.
Looking at the situation from the
producers side, there is ample ground
for encouragement.
For some time past independent
buyers and producers of crude oil have
been paying premium of ten cents a
barrel above the market. 1t is under
stood that no great amounts of oil
have changed hands at this figure.
| Every producer who can carry his
oil is storing it, and many who are
selling part with only enough to take
care of current expenses. At the same
I time some announcement is taken
from the report that, even though it Is
4 slight, there has been decrease in
stocks in the Oklahoma field
Competition Is Keenest.
! Sum marizing conditions from infor.
nation received through varieu.
sources, it seems as if the future is en-.
u tirely speculative.
The increase in. Somerset prices
might stimulate buying in speculative
circles interested in the Pennsylvania
grade, and, however plentiful lower.
priced grades may be, such a move.
ment would inevitably result in high
er figure.
Any marked tendency toward an in
dustrial resumption more general thai
is now evident, and resultant in
