It should be added, however, that elsewhere there still is a good deal of timidity, even pessimism. There is a widespread disposition to pull sail and keep very close to shore. This cautious attitude is not confined to merchants manufacturers and other business men but exists in fhe rank and file of banh officers. Incidentally .bearishness also prevails very widely among Wall streets spectators.

GRAIN LETTER

CHICAGO. H.. April 21.-wheat: Fair demand but 1t looked like short cover ing and with this demand lacking later stand the selling that came. much of which was nthe way of profit taking. There was a good deal of buying of May against aAles of July which, however. did not affect the relative difference. Unit ed States visible decreased 1s3o0,000 bush els. There were sales of 250,000 to go effect. but much of the weakness can be ascribed to the continued lower range in stock and cotton.
 ' Corn: Had a fractional upturn early which invited selling but the decline laetr was due more to lack Of support than to any particular factors. Receipts are fair but weather is generaly unset- tied and no signs of much of an increase in movement in the near future. Rallies acontinue to run into selling with the de- ferred futures being given preference on the belief that the producers will be in- clined to market some corn.--Fenner 6 Beane to Kahn q Virgin.

At one time our May wheat was 50 premium over Winnipeg May compared with the premium of only axe early last week. but just sliEhtly above Saturdays s closing levels. the supply was quite. am

And the stock market had disappointed many by it's spasm of weakness. ss
 Even so pessimists are exaggerating the extent of these recessions. Much conception and pessimism are caused by comparing scurrenk conditions and figures only with those of a year ago, when we were passing through a vigor- ous young boom, which zan thoughtful people know could not fail to bring on a relapse. Compare current conditions and figures with those of other springs, and you will discover that business to- day is of unusually large volume, You will find that steel and iron production and consumption are on a very large scale. You will find that railway traf- fife is extraordinarily heavy. You will find that automobile sales have in- creased enormously. You will find that America's total pay envelope is stu s pendous, better, actually than anything ever before experienced. You will find, of course, that construction work is progressing at phenomenal rate. You will find that, despite the universal hand to mouth buying, retail merchants as a whole, are doing quite an active business.
 So much for the present. What of tathe outlook? sss
 z My views may prove woefully askew, }. but here they are, for what they are worth:
 II do not believe that either in this country, or anywhere else, the people at large have begun to realize the bene- ficial possibilities of events in Europe. Everything indicates that Germany at last means business. Let a repara- tions agreement be reached as speedily as now seems likely and the leading men of affairs all over the world will become imbued with new spirit of hopefulness, new spirit of enterprise, new spirit of courage.
 Look what has been happening in the leading foreign exchanges. Sterling has been advancing iimpressively {; francs have had most notable re covery; Belgian, Italian, Greek and Spanish eurrehcies have all improved during the last week. To my mind, : the strength of the principal European currencies is extremely significant and encouraging. !
 Next, take domestic politics.
 Every week makes more certain the nomination of President Coolidge by the republicans. On the democratic side, little progress appears to have been made in the groping for stand ard bearer.
 Whereas. there was considerable mis- giving in the highest financial and busi- ness circles not so long ag6, over the possible effect of the unsettling events
The Birmingham age-herald., 1924-04-22

at Washington, the feeling of care in the election of Calvin Coolidge has been almost completely restored. The prospects, therefore, are that political uncertainty will abate rather than rise during coming months.

WALL STREET BRIEFS


 NEW YORK, April 21.-virtually all of the active oil shares crumbied to new low prices for the year in today's stock mar points The list included Standard Oils of New Jersey and California, Pacific. Cosden. Marland, Producers and Renners, Houston General Asphalt. General Pe- troleum and Atlantic Refining. Announce ment of a decrease in the price of export gasoline and the publication of the Sin clair Consolidated Oil report showing deficit of nearly $12. 100000 from opera ton in 1923 were contributing factors A shortage of oil possibly as great as 100. .000e00 barrels, confronts the country this year. according to E. L. Woodley, president of the Woodley Petroleum com pany. The oil industry. he said. is ask ing itself where the oil is coming from to make shortage of 575.000, 900 barrels contemplated production and $50, 900. 900 barrels contemplated consumption this year. Operators universally agree. he added. that we cannot expect to repeat what we did in 1923 with the finding of seven flush fields which was something 6 unprecedented in the oil industry.
 congoleum occupied much of the streets attention even before the ticker printed the first transaction in this spe: cialty revealing a 17spoihf break, gem eraily attributed to pool liquidation.
