In Chicago Pit

CHICAGO, May Cold and wet

for wheat. The market closed firm
l.O4%. July, $1.O8M@I07. Corn

sions vafying from &c lower to a rise
EnlaN1sd trading here accompanied
the rise NJ values in the wheat market
and especially during the last part of
the day there was considerable buying
in Chicago Sgainst selling at Winnipeg.
Talk of probable 10 per cent de-
crease Of the wheat acreage Of Sass
katchewan had some bullish effect, and
SO did gossip about likelihood that the
Argentine strike would be prolonged
and that Europe would require liberal
supplies Of wheat before harvest. Be-
sides, the Winnipeg market has gained
ON the Chicago market recently so that
the two markets were less than lie
apart.
Improved milling demand here for
wheat today helped give more conf
dence to the buying side of the wheat
market in general. The milling pur-
chases were of no great volume bnt
taken in connection with hopeful indi-
cations as to foreign trade were suffi-
cient to evoke comment particularly in
view Of the late steady European alb
sorption Of big imports of wheat. 1t
was pointed out that world shipments
to date have been ahead Of the previous
season and that the Canadian visible
supply has ,i.Nen to 1000, 000. bushels
less than the, total year ago.
Coarse grains Jagged as compared
with wheat, except that May oats were
in demand from cash houses. The
corn market was adversely affected by
slowness Of eastern shipping call and
by sales into stores. here.
Moderate buying on the part Of pack

STOCKS REGAIN
EARLY LOSSES
Trading Again Is Light
Because OF Absence OF
Public Interest


NEW YORK, May 6.-Stock prices
showed reactionary tone at the open
ing Of today's market on selling I'M
doubtedly inspired by the Senate's adop-
tion of the 40 per cent maximum sur
Z tax clause in the tax bill, but they
made irregular recovery later with inn
portant aecumulations being reported
in several investment issues.
Trading again was relatively light in
volume. This was attributed to the
absence of public interest and the dis
inclination of professional traders to
extend their commitments pending the
final determination of the tax, soldier
bonus and other important legislative
pesaures.
Active buying operations again were
limited to select assortment of stocks
of which Consolidated Gas, colorado

were the features.
United States Steel common moved
within a radius of about one point,
closing Il higher at 9S%. Baldwin,
American Can and Studebaker, the
other so-called pivotal stocks, also
showed small fractional recessions on
the day.
Revival of interest in the copper
groups apparently was based on the
more optimistic tenor of recent state
ments of the leaders of the industry.
April shipments of the red metal, both
foreign and domestic, were reported to
be unusually high. New top prices for
the year were established by American
Smelling at 64as.as and Kennecott
at SO. ...... ~
Oils again were under the depress-
Ing influence of the recently published
statistics on March gasoline production,
