LIBERTIES SLIGHTLY OFF
ON UNINTERESTING MART
Sharp Rise in Call Money Halls Some
Investment Buying.

BIZ United Financial
NEW YORK, April ga few fea-
lures managed to crop In the rather
uninteresting session in bonds. The
sharp rise in call money from go
at the opening TO Az in the early
afternoon served to shut off some in
vestment buying from out-of-town,
and narrowed the interests shown in
Liberty bonds. but the general bond
list was unmoved by the tightening
Of the money market. Banks who
were good buyers of Liberty bonds
on Monday, made few commitments
today and prices were down trifie.
Serb IS again scored a new high
for 1924, this time getting to S2h.
French and British issues were steady
to firm, in sympathy with foreign ex-
change.
Wilson & Co. issues weakened dur
ing the later dealings in rather heavy
selling. The Agriculture Chemical Is
sues were prosaic. Oil and sugar is
sues held their ground well. Copper
and steel bonds held near previous
closes.

HOGS Off FIFTEEN
At MARK OF $7.45
Large Receipts Tend for Price
Slump,


Large receipts seemed the primary
reason for a is cent decline in hog
prices in dealing at the local livestock
yards today. Nearly all trading was
accomplished on the $7,45 basis as
compared to Mondays bulk price of
$3.50 Demand from outside account
and local packers was moderately
strong. Offerings were moving salts
factory on the early market promising
a rather good clearance of the pens in
the face of the unusually large re-
ceipts. Heavyweights, over the 300
pound market were slightly lower
than the rest and were priced at $40
TO $7.45 Two or three lots of choice
hogs sold early at $3.50, establishing
the top price Of the day. Sows failed
to any great extent to reflect the gen
eral decline and those of the choice
lightweight smooth variety still com
manded a top quotation of 81 with the
bulk moving around $3.50 to S7.75.
Ordinary roughs were accordingly
lower. The demand for pigs was firm
and prices generally steady. Those
Weighing 1870 pounds and more were
sold around 1915 and some Of the
light yorker type brought 81. Hogs
in the truck division numbered 1000
and were moving at an average OF
D cents lower Total number Of hogs
on sale was estimated at 10000.
Cattle trading was only moderately
active with receipts of 1900 head.
Traders were again inclined to be
lieve that the market would be slightly
lower before the days dealings were
finished although Mondays predicted
downward trend failed to develop to
any noticeable extent. Heifers seemed
TO be the class hardest hit because OF
large receipts They We're quoted at
Sc TO 50, it taking only the very choice
to bring the top price. Fair TO choice
steers and heavy COWS are in rather
urgent demand and prices held mostly
firm.
Approximately 1900 calves forced
the market fifty cents lower. Prac-
ucally all deals were made at So to
$3.50, buyers finding no trouble in OBJ
tanning much good stock at the $3.50
mark. A few isolated sales Of the
choice drivenin variety OF calves were
contaminated at $40. Fair to poor
stock also suffered the price decline
and this class was off fifty cents and
in some cases more. the range being
from IS 10 81.
Sheep prices were steady with 100
head offered for sale. WoOled fall
lambs brought "A top price Of SIS and
those OF the spring variety found a
high mark at ST. Ordinary heavy
sheep found a sale at Sc and IS.

A small army of expert rescue

men unaccounted for.
While the rescue squads worked I'M

the Benwood mine gate, hoping

The WALL STREET JOURNAL

NEW YORK, April 29.-Secretry
MELONS statement that no reduction
was contemplated in the rediscount
rate and the Senates approval of an
increase in the corporation tax to IA
per cent from 1914 had an adverse
influence on stocks in the early deal
ings. Fractional losses from the pre-
viOus close Were suffered by Steel,
American Can, Cast Iron Pipe and
other active industrial leaders. How
ever, the volume of dealings was
light and the general disposition of
the speculative community was to
await the outcome of the Steel meet

Noon Hour


Wall Street during the noon hour
was inclined to attach much sig
nificance to rumors current in the
financial district that the New York
Federal Reserve Bank is considering
a reduction in its rediscount rate.
This is true despite the fact that Sec
rotary Mellon stated there was no
contemplated change in Federal re-
serve rates. After all, it is recognized
that Secretary Mellon was merely ex-
pressing his personal opinion as any
changes in the rediscount rates Of any
Of the reserve banks is a matter for
the respective boards Of directors to
decide.

terize the list in the early afternoon.
