corn finished y to 1 up and oats were

ranged from u to 17h higher.

IN the early trading in sympathy with

no great pressure, and 1t reouired
very little buying to bring about
sharp advance from the inside figures.

Tact that the condition is the lowest
~ inns season. with one exception. in
.wenty years. was added the fact that
the abandoned acreage was 26.3 per
cent. or 100000 acres. It is estimated
by exporters here that between 90
100000 and 30.000.000 bushels new
crop have already been sold for ex-
port and there was evidence OF fur
ther business. July sold at new

tember difference widened to over 9.
compared with ) recently. while the
May-July spread went to over 20 dif-
ference.
Corn and oats showed fair activity
and averaged higher in sympathy
with wheat. Weather conditions over
the west favored field work, with the
forecast for increasing cloudiness
with lower temperatures Sunday in

NO DECLINE NOTED
IN MARKET ACTIVITY
Advance to Higher Ground
Despite Coal Strike and Un-
certainty at Genoa.

NEW YORK. April 22-The fnan-
cial markets experienced another
week of extraordinary activity at
mounting prices, regardless of ma
tional and international happenings,
which in normal times might have
acted as deterrents to speculative en-
thusiasm.
Despite the extension of the coal
strike and its effect upon industrial
~ -a.t,.,'.. anu tne Genoa conference
Scr IT, unexpected complications.
this stcGk market advanced to higher
ground on the largest transactions
of any similar period In almost three
years.
That the enormous turnover repre-
sented to disproportionate degree
ehe operations of personal interests
was generally conceded. 1t was also
believed, however. that public par
ticipation figured to a greater extent
than at any time since the boom
markets of the world war.
Bond Market Keeps the Pace.
The bond market kept time with
the lively pace set by the stock list.
New issues for the week, exclusive of
various minor underwritings. ap-
ferings for the current month already
exceed those of March.
Money conditions were a greater
factor in the advance than at any
previous period of the movement. In
the open market call loans were prac-
tically pegged" at 3la per cent. but
even this low rate was shaded in
many private negotiations. Time
funds for one to three months were
ootainable at per cent, although
quoted at "a to Az. and bank ac-
ceptances and commercial paper rates
relaxed
Aside from the coal strike, gains
were reported In many branches of
business and manufacture and foreign
Grade prospects frightened.
Upward Revision Of Prices.
Price schedules for iron and steel
again were subjected to upward re-
vision. The decision of the United
states Steel Corporation to build
$lo.000.000 tube mill in the Gary
district was regarded In trade circles
as significant development.
lhe slight disturbance to interna-
tionai currencies which followed an
nouncement of the Russo-German pact
was cited as strong proof that the
foreign exchange market had reached
the stage of stabiIization. II is nm
derstood that. barring unforeseen
events, the request of the European
powers that American financial in
terests be represented on the inter
allied reparations commission win
be accepted.
