COMMODITY ISSUES
DEVELOP STRENGTH
Buying Power Recovery Past Week
Seen as Correcting Weakened
Technical Position.
By the Associs ted Press.

By the Associa ted Press
NEW YORK, April 5.--VirtuaIly all
financial and commodity markets
pointed upward this week.
The recovery in stock prices gen.
orally was characterized as a correc-
tion of weakened technical position
after the recent long decline. Buying
power was limited and came largely
from the short interests who were
hurried into covering their commit
ments by the brighter prospects for
early action on the tax reduction bill
and the possibility of a favorable re-
action here and abroad to the Dawes
reparations report, which is expected
within the next few days.
Investment buying was noted, how
ever, in the railroad shares, which
assumed the leadership of the market
for the first time in months. This was
predicatcd on the unusually good Feb
ruary earnings statements and the
expressed opinion of Interstate Com
merce Commi ssioner Esch before the
congressional committee that a re-
vision in freight rates would be dis
astrous to business and that rates
should not be altered to meet price
fiuctua tionS
Trade reports showed further IA
dicationS of a slackening of business
In many lines, although March ingot
production was believed to have
reached the peak of last April. Do
Inestic oil production continued to de-
cline, while consumption was steadily
increased, but the only important
price alteration was a further ad-
vance in Gulf Coast crude prices.
Industrial shares moved up smartiy
in the early part of the week, but
became sluggish later, when specu-
lative interest was diverted to the
railroad group. Temporary strength
of the copper shares was based on
speculative expectation of an in
creased European demand. Shippings
and oils also maintained a firm tone
Further recovery of French end Bel
gian francs featured the foreign ex-
change market. Tho French franc
crossed 6 cents to a rev 1924 high
on buying attributed to short inter-
ests, who delayed covering their COM
mitments until they became due at
the end of the month.

 Washington Bureau of N. B. Heraid)
 Washington, D. C., Dec. 12.-Hi- ram Bingham, the republican candi- date for United States senator from Connecticut in the special election to be held next week. will certainly be victorious, but by much less than the big majority usually given the republican candidate for senator, President Coolidge was advised to- day, by Senator George H. Moses chairman of the senate congression- al campaign committee, who called at the White House and discussed the Connecticut situation for some time with Coolidge.
 Senator Moses has just returned from 10 days spent in Connections. T consider Bingham's election as certain" said Senator Moses upon leaving the presidents private office, but his majority will not be any thing like those usually given the re- publican candidate for senator in Connecticut, because December is a very bad month to get the vote out. Then, also. 1t is by election, and look for no more than 40 per cent O. the Hsual vote to be cast"
