MARKET
ERRATIC and
PRICES LOWER
CBy Consolidated Press

Chicago. April 29-Tte wheat
market was exceedingly cratic but
prices most of the session were be-
low the previous closing level. It
was fight among the locals and
the offerings appeared heavier than
the ability of the market to absorb.
A report of further discussion
among the delegates at the Genoa
conference was regarded as bear
ish- Lower cables and clearing and
warmer weather induced selling
early The big locals gave the mar
ket support and this made shorts
want to cover. 1iIling demand for
wheat showed only a slight i'm
provement. Southwest reported in
creased farm deliveries of wheat
and that indications were for a
good movement of wheat until the
end of May. A little Manitoba
wheat was accepted in the late
trade. Most Of the foreign demand
for wheat is confined to new crop
deliveries. Sales of 200 900 bush
els of contract wheat we're made to
go to store.
Corn trade also was quiet. There
was a little selling of July for for
eign account while commission
houses bought. Locals did most of
the trading later and they favored
the bear side. a better domestic
cash demand was in evidence and
export bids were only Il c out OF
line on a special lot, but general
bids were &c to &c lower Out
side markets were overriding Chi
cago in the country.
Oats followed the trend of other
grains. Elevator interests picked
up July on the break. There was
some transferring of hedges. Do
nestle demand for oats was not so
good as of late.
Provisions were firmer. Packers
transferred hedges from May to
July and commission houses took
the opposite side of the spread.
Wheat had a rally late on shorts
covering. Market closed Il c higher
to sc lower; May 1.431s to lab,
July 1850 to IS; Sept. 1.1SA to r..
Corn closed unchanged to Ac

Curb Market
BY STUART p. WEST
tCopyright. 1872

New York. April 20.-The curb
market was strong and active dur
ing the greater part of the session
today. New high records were
made in many issues, including
Cities Service old common and
preferred stock, Anglo-American,
Creole Syndicate, Fensland, Noun
tain Products, Carib Syndicate,
Hudson Oil. Philip Morris, Durant
Motors and Hudson and Manhattan.
These advances brought on the
profit taking from time to time,
and small recessions followed, but
there appeared to be good buying
orders on the books of the special
lists just under the market and the
selling was easily absorbed.
By far the greatest interest was
shown in the oil shares with the
sharpest advance in Cities Service
old stock on buying by houses
credited with representing the OPP
Grating managers. This buying
has been in evidence for several
days. Standard Oil of New York
was in good demand and rose brisk
ly and there was active buying in
Standard Oil of Indiana.
Simms Petroleum was in better
demand than in some time. Mexi-
can Seaboard was traded in more
largely than in several weeks and
rose substantially. The buying
followed limitations that the COM
pany is likely to pay extra divi-
dends of so cents a share monthly
from now on. The move in Hud-
son followed a report that the
company was disposing of 500 bar
rels of oil to the Standard Oil
company Of Louisiana daily. Aside
from the Hudson Tube issues and
Philip Morris there were few
features in the miscellaneous list
Hudson company preferred moved
in sympathy with the advance in
Hudson and Manhattan shares. The
rise in Phillip Morris was due to
operations by houses supposedly
acting for insiders. Motor stocks
were slightly firmer. In addition
to Durant there was a better in
quiry for Gardner Motors and
Continental.
The feature Of the bond depart
ment was the buying in United Oil
Products SIS, which put the issue
up more than a point

STEEL STOCKS


Steel common touched mar soon
