Pittsburgh added, no matter where
the steel is shipped from, today is
gradually coming back, according
to Howard Logan, assistant to the
president of the Chicago Steel Car
company, who testified here before
the federal trade commission.
This method, which was aban-
doned on some grades of steel and
kept on others following business
depression, is said to cost local

ACTIVE DEMAND

OF LIVESTOCK
CBy Consolidated Press)


U. S. Yards. Chicago. April IS
An under current of strength per
vaded the livestock markets here,
this being in contrast to the ex-
pectation of many Of the traders.
Continued active local and shipping
demand gave the markets an active
start and in most instances the
trade carried a firm tone with
steady to strong prices throughout
the session. Receipts. 10000 cat
tie; $4,000 hogs; $4,000 sheep. and
5000 calves.
CATTLE.
The supply was little short Of
last Tuesdays run, but yesterdays
total of 25,270, the largest for the
year to date, gave local packers a
good start and they were by no
means in pressing need of stock
There was a sprinkling of good to
choice steers, but $S.75 was the
highest price paid for stuff of sub
stantial weights. General prices
were steady with a few strong
spots. Butcher stock was I'M
changed, and there was a stronger
tendency in vealers.
HOGS.
Opening trade was steady TO
strong, but lights fell into disfavor
after most of the shipping orders
had been filled and the result was
sc lower trade for the bulk of
the small weight animals, while
| butchers and packers went at fully
steady prices. Selected hogs topp-
ed at $1,000.
SHEEP.
Receipts of live muttons looked
heavy as compared with the run of
! 1000 offered here a week ago How
ever, packers claimed 400 of the
arrivals which were forwarded
from other points and there was a
good open market demand for
lambs. Prices were maintained at
fully steady levels, prime wool Of
ferings again reaching $3.50,
while choice clipped lambs made
/ $16.65.

LIQUIDATION
IN MAY WHEAT
FEATURES DAY
(By Consolidated Press.

Chicago, April 25.-Liquidation
by weaker May holders, some of
them forced out on stop loss or
ders, was the feature of the wheat
trade today. From LA down to
1.42h there was hardly a trade in
between Reports that private set
tlement had been effected on 5,000,-
600 bushels OF wheat was partly
the cause of this liquidation. The
start was higher on buying by over
night shorts, but as soon as this
buying was completed the market
seemed to fade out because of the
lack of demand. Around 1.41%
shorts covered. There was some
local pressure on the late months
because of the weakness in May
but good buying appeared after a
di poi l cent Foreigners were
credited with buying July at the
start and there was some buying
by export interests. Seaboard re-
ported about 10000 bushels of
wheat picked up on the break.
Russia was reported to have taken
about 100000 bushels Argentine
wheat affoat at a price equal to
1.5S c. l. F. United Kingdom. Kan
sas City cash wheat was &c to &c
lower and no demand.
May liquidation had a depress-
ing effect on corn. There also was
some selling by cash houses. Re-
ports of big run of corn expected
the next three weeks caused some
pressure. Export houses bought
corn at the opening. Domestic
shipping demand is better and ex-
porters continue to take corn in
this market in goodly quantities
Oats were heavy in tone. LiQui-
dation in May and pressure on the
deferred months because Of this
fact were features. There was a
better shipping demand in evil
dence
Provisions were dull and most of
! the trade was in lard. Local SELL
ing on the break in grain gave
prices a lower trend
Wheat closed weak n to 4Hc

Curb Market
BY STUART r. WEST
Copyright. 1872

New York, April 25.-Trading on
the New York curb market today
was again extremely active with
the tone generally strong through
out the list until after midday
when the market broke sharply.
Later the market rallied again, re-
gaining much of the lost
ground. In the industrial group
Phillip Morris was the out
standing feature, establishing a
new high level on predictions of
further dividend distributions and
reports of improved earnings. Ra-
dio common was in demand and
also sold up to a new high mark.
Dubilier Condenser and Radio was
introduced to trading for the first
time and on a heavy turnover
moved up sharply. Goldwyn Pic
lures and Retail Candy were firm
er and fractionally higher. East
man kodak was an exception to
the rule, being fractionally lower.
In the oils a further good inquiry
appeared for Fensland Oil on the
announcement that the company in
conjunction with the Gulf Oil COM
number six well in the Curry pool,
Breckenridge, Texas. Gilliland oil
showed pronounced weakness and
on heavy offerings declined over a
point. Mexican Seaboard, after
early shipment, lost most of its
gain. Sicily Oil developed pro-
nounced strength and reached a
new high for the movement. Kirby
Petroleum was heavy at a loss OF
almost full point. In the Stan
dard Oil shares sharp upturns
were general especially in the
Penn Oil which rose over Is points.
Considerable activity was show
ing in the mining list. Independent
Lead and Rex Consolidated were
the strongest of the lower priced is
sues. Bon Alaska continued active
but irregular.

tConIlnued from F1rSt P3ge.l
The announcement by j. P. Nor
gan that he has accepted the in
vitation of the PREPARATIONS COM
mission to discuss the chances of
selling in America an international
loan TO Germany IS only enc of d
number of coinc-1c,it steps which
are gradually being taken with a
view to financial cooperation by
allies and former foes. MIR. Nor
gan communicated with the de-
partmenl OF state where no Objec-
ton was interposed to his accept
ance OF the invitation extenGed
him by the PREPARATIONS commission.
Later on undoubtedly the United
STATES government will have an
official representative on the COM
mission.
Mar. Morgan goes in an unofficial
capacity representing only his prf-
gale interests, but mis- word and
judgment will count for good
deal in foreign councils. If ]. P.
Morgan belieS es a German loan can
be foated, provided it is guaran-
teed or endorsed by several of the
allied and associated powers, the
formation OF an American banking
group has been encouraged and the
moral support of the United States
government will then have to be
won. AS matters stand now the
government here has no legal right
to object to the fiotation of foreign
loans in America, but the private
bankers have agreed to obtain the
department OF states acQuiescence
before committing themselves to
the sale of foreign government
bonds.
President Harding let it be
known today that the invitation
would be accepted. He announced
that Benjamin Strong, governor of
the Federal Reserve bank of New
York city, would be sent abroad to
represent the federal reserve sys-
tenn. The president believes the
conference can do useful things
and that America may be able to be
of considerable help. Mr.. Hard
ing explained also that the United
States government had no objection
to Mr.. Morgan's attendance at the
meeting of bankers summoned by
the reparations commission.

OIL STOCKS

VAL 04VAA64
Inc further and quite general
auyance In gasoline prices this
morning had a varied effect upon
the OIL stocks. Some of the Stand
ara OH group responded. But in
most other stocks of companies
which derive their main profit from
rennlng rather than from produc-
ton OF crude. the news was OBJ
vicusly discounted. Outside OF the
standard Oils the principal gaso-
line stocks are Texas company. Cos
oen, Sinclair and Pure Oil. All of
these four were unaffected. The
most consistent strength shown by
any OF the oil shares was in Pro-
ducers and Refiners, the move
which got under way yesterday.
Philipps Petroleum went forward

dividend is to be doubled.
CENTRAL LEATHER.
Central Leather's report for the
nrst quarter of 1922 was fully as
poor as expected, but the market
for the stock received the figures
with an expression of relief, in that
bad news, long awaited, was I'm
ally out of the way. The net in
come of $229, 1874 compared favor
ably with the deficit of So, 4s2, 027
in the same three months Of last
year, but it compared badly with
the showing. last quarter OF 1921,
when there was a net profit OF
about 81 900. 900. After bond inter-
est the deficit for the March quar-
ter this year amounted to $3.50, PIT
and the total profit and loss deficit
as OF March 81, 1922, was there by
increased to $7,124,325 as against

cember.
COLUMBIA GRAPHOPRONE.
The sharp advance in Columbia
Graphophone issues to new high
prices for the year was brought
about by reports that the company
is to enter the radio field. Some
graphophone parts are already be-
ing used in the radio industry and
this has brought profits from q
source that is entirely new.
