FEARS REGARDING WHEAT
DEPRESS WEEKS PRICES

CHICAGO. April 29.-Skepticism about
continued lack OF wheat supplies here
to I'LL contracts for May delivery had
considerable effect this week toward
weighing down prices in the wheat
market. Compared with a week ago.

wheat was prepared to deliver wheat
on outstanding contracts instead of
settling otherwise gave the first Jolt
to traders who had been expecting
values to ascend. Evidence that
wheat imports from Canada, duty
paid. would be made at a profit
tended further to weaken confidence
on the part of holders of wheat. Then
came gossip that private settlements
were being negotiated in May con-
tracts involving as much as FIVE mil
lion bushels. At this juncture the
market dropped 5A a bushel within
a few hours.
Europe developed after wheat prices
had tumbled. About 100000 bushels
were estimated to have taken for
Europe one day and 100000 bushels
the day following. Then, quotations
frightened up again. and perplexity
required as to how next months de-

steadiness to the two feed-grain mar

were mentioned as explaining in

Before the news Of European buy

ket here had q downward tendency
as to price. owing largely to a pro-
nounced decline Of values at Liver
pool, where all commodities were said
to have been depressed as result Of
anxiety over developments at the
Genoa economic conference. At first
too, the fact that Monday is the first
delivery day on May contracts seemed
to have q bearish influence here, but
subsequently cash houses were buyers
and the price Of May frightened up
more relatively than July or Sep

wheat gave Independent firmness to

lower. failinf to retain a slight ad-

A Decrease, But an Increase
Over Same Month 1921.
Traction Firm.
BY /. A. FLEMING.

Business in Washington maintains
an even tenor, without squirt. but en-
couraginE steadiness.
This Is the story told by the clear
ings Of Washington since the end
Of February. which was the slowest
month from q business standpoint,
being further affected in like direc-
tion by the fact that it is the shortest
business month OF the year and had
two generally observed holidays.
March showed q large increase in
the bank clearings-about 100000
but April is again handicapped by
the loss of two business days. there
having been four Sundays. exclusive
Of the 30th, which will also come on
Sunday.
This probably more than accounts
for a 100000 decrease in the clear
ings. but at the same time. as com
pared with April of 1921, the current
month shows a gain Of $5.671.s24.
The following are the clearings by
months SO far this year: January,
$77.27s.3s2: February. $67.1s1.a09:
March. $82.015.621; April. $79. 109,469.
Capital Traction Higher.
Members of the Washington Stock
Exchange expect to see the shares of
both the Capital Traction and Rail-
way dHu EleCITlC company moving
Into higher levels under the impetus
given by the proposed drastic taxation
measure.
Action today in Capital Traction
confined the opinions expressed as to
Its underlying strength. The action
was more in the nature Of a test than
actual acquisition. as the transactions
were entirely Of small amounts.
The first sale was at 9Sb, this was
repeated and then the price advanced
to SsS and jumped to 80, after which
1t reacted to 9sA.
There were no sales of either Rail-
way common or preferred or Wash

COTTON MARKETS.

NEW YORK. April 29.-The cotton
market showed renewed or continued
steadiness at the opening today. First
prices were 3 to points higher and
the active months sold about 6 to 7
points above yesterdays closing after
the call on a moderately active demand
from recent local sellers. the south. and
commission houses. Reports that the
flood area In the lower Mississippi val
ley and Texas was increasing were
probably a factor. but the market
seemed to be more influenced by the
renewed steadiness of stocks and the
better tone OF foreign exchange than
by any fresh feature in crop or weather
news.

SOME GAINS ON
NEW YORK CURB

By Special Leased Wire to The Star.
NEW YORK, April 29.-The curb
market was strong today and good
advances were recorded in some of
the leading issues. Profit-taking
sales at times were heavy. but the
recessions from the highest were
small.
Standard Oil of Indiana and Standard
Oil OF Kentucky new stock and the
Wyoming oils. including Salt Creek
Consolidated. Salt Creek Producers
and Mountain Producers reached new
high ground. Hudson Oil was influ-
enced by announcement Of new well
in the Eldorado lease.
There was a supply of Mexican
Seaboard at the opening, which re-
suited in a fractionally lower start,
but after this selling had been alb
sorbed the stock scored a good re-
covery.
Advances were recorded in Kirby
Petroleum. International Petroleum
and Anglo-American Oil. and there
was a. fair inquiry for Columbia Pc
troleum. Creole Syndicate and other
low-priced shares.
Simmss Petroleum was one OF the
exceptions. showing an easier ten
dency.
Hudson Motor Car was easier in the
initial dealings. but buying by those
who failed to get the full quota OF
stock on their subscriptions caused
an advance later.
The mining department was firm.
Bonds were fairly active and steady.

Great Britain to Lower Tax.
Great Britain has got back to such
