PRICE MOVEMENTS
In BOND MARKET
ARE CONFLICTING

NEW YORK, May 16.-Conflicting
price movements took place in today's
bond market, with the general under
tone firm, despite some rather sharp
fluctuations in individual issues.
Trading was again quiet, investors
preferring to stay out of the market
until stock prices became more sta
bilized. Many issues have been pro-
tected by foreign buying.
Bandit outrages in China are held
mainly responsible for the further l
point drop in Chinese IS. Mexican As
also dropped point. The other
changes in the foreign group were
fractional and unimportant. United
States government bonds eased
slightly.
Strength of Seaboard Air Line is
sues was the feature of the railroad
list. The consolidated 6s jumped 3A
points, the adjustment IS Il, and the
refunding As IA. Carolina Clinch-
field and Ohio Is advanced l Il points.
New Haven issues were weak in be-
lated response to the poor report for
the first quarter, showing deficit
Of $4,7O0, 900. The French rs dropped
point and the convertible IS of
194S y. New York. Westchester and
Boston 41ks, which are guaranteed by
the New Haven road. dropped 2
points, Atcnison convertible As, IN,
and Chicago and Great Western As /.
In the industrial group. American
Telephone convertible Is advanced a
| point in the face of reports that new
financing was contemplated. United
Drug IS and Union Bag and Paper IS
also advanced a point each. Cerro de
Pasco SIS broke nearly points, and
Kelly Springfield IS and Pierce-Ar-
row SIS each yielded about a point.

points higher on later deliveries and
May sold up to 1o.S5c later. 80 points
net higher. The strength of the near
months, which was accompanied by COM
ment on the comparatively small available
supplies of Brazilian coffees in the do
mestic markets, led to scattered covering
in later deliveries, with July selling UP
to 9.5Sc. and December to S25e, but prices
eased off later under realizing. with the
market closing net 10 points higher on
May but generally 3 to Z points net

Spot coffee was reported in moderate
demand at IL %c for Rio Is and at 14& C

GENERAL ADVANCE
IN GRAIN VALUES
ON COLD REPORTS

CHICAGO. May Accompanies
that planted corn is rotting in the
ground because of continuous cold,
wet weather had much to do today
with a general advance in grain
values Wheat closed firm, is to
21sc net higher, July s117A to
lit IS and September 1.15A to
1.15R. Corn finished strong, rs to
21a cents up. oats Is to 1 cent up,
and provisions at rise varying
from 10 cents to % cents.
At first the market had mode
rate downward tendency on account
of a prevalent opinion that general
rains in the winter crop territory
had furnished ample moisture for
some time to come. Word that
spring wheat seeding had about all
bearish in effect. However, numer-
Gus unfavorable crop reports We're
received from the winter wheat belt,
Kansas points in particular telling
of damage from recent freezes and
there We're forecasts of cold wave
east of the Mississippi. Assertions
that spring wheat acreage had been
sharply reduced as compared with
last year counted further toward
bringing about a decided change of
sentiment.
With notable strength in the corn
market, wheat buying took on
liberal proportions, and brought
about ascending prices during the
last half of the day. Especially
as high premiums were said to have
been bid for gulf wheat first half
of June shipment. Some notice was
taken too OF 17,623,O00 bushels de-
crease for the week in the world
available supply of wheat.
The corn market throughout the
day showed independence of wheat.
Reports of seed rotting in the
ground were emphasized by Know
ledge of seriously delayed field work
and by meagerness of receipts. Be-
sides, North American stocks of corn
were figured at 19,500O,OO0 bushels
less than last year, and Argentine
crop estimates were for yield ~
100000 bushels less than in 1922.
Oats reflected the corn advance.
Provisions were higher with hogs
and on account of the bullish show
ing of the semi report on
stocks of lard here.
