NEW YORK, March 29.-Produc.
ton Of Southern California crude
oil has declined about 40 per cent
from last September peak, and mid.
continent crude is down about 30
per cent; surplus crude in storage
today is 5 per cent less than at any
time in the last fifteen years, in
relation to consumption. The heavy
consumption season is at hand, and
millions of gallons of petroleum
products will be required to meet
demand.
This is the basis on which the
crude and refined oil market is
resting today. Many producers
predict the return to SO mid-conti.
nent crude between now and July i.
Producers are operating at a profit
at present prices, but the best rec.
ords are looked for from companies
which stored up large reserves at
bottom prices last year.
Steady improvement is notice
able in the gasoline markets, par
ticularly at Gulf ports, where the
asking price is 16% to 16 cents for
GA gravity gasoline, while navy is
held at 13 to 13K cents. Consump-
ton is fairly large abroad, but buy
ers are not inclined to heavy pur.
chases for future needs. Good sales
of cased gasoline were reported this
week for export.

NEW YORK, March 29.--Narrow
and meaningless fluctuations marked
trading in the abbreviated session on
the stock exchange today.
Professionals continued predomi.
nately bearish and were constantly
watching for vulnerable spots, but
their attitude was more cautious.
This was reflected in let-up of
bearish activities in major groups Of
stocks. Evidently they had in mind
the imn1inence of the Dawes report
on PREPARATIONS, expected by April 1,
and its probably favorable effect ON
speculative sentiment.
On the other hand, little or no in
centive was displayed on the buy
Ing side. AS matter of fact, there
was nothing in the immediate news
!. that could have a stimulating effect
on values. Politically, intimations
from Washington that more Cabinet
officers will come under fire of the
Senate investigation committee were
. by no means conducive to restore
confidence.
Commercially. not much comfort
could be derived by the weekend
trade reviews. According to Dun :,
and Bradstreet's business had adopt
ed a waiting attitude. The effect
OF restricted forward buying was
moreV plainly seen in declining conf

NEW YORK, March 29.-After
establishing ON Monday a new high
record for 1894! the total being close
to sec, 100000, trading in the bond
market during the past week slowed
up perceptiIly, coincident with the
hardening trend of money rates.
Cessation of bank purchases in.
high-grade Issues was the immedi-
ate reason for shrinkage in business
volume. 1t was noted that prices
remained firm. and the daily aggre-
gate of transactions continued we'll
above the loW point for this year to
date. This satisfactory showing
was indicative OF a strong absorp.
tive power and the existence of sub
stantial amounts Of funds for in
vestment.
The sustained buying power in
bonds was attributed to various
causes. One important development
was the release Of capital through
the liquidation in stock induced by
the disappointing course Of trade
action in Washington political cir
cles. Another was the demand
from investors who had delayed
ton Of lower prices.
While the gilt.edged securities
adopted a quieter position, the more
or less speculative descriptions COM
manded considerable attention. be-
cause of their conflicting move
ments. Most prominent both in
point of activity and strength were
the st. Pau! issues. Belief, substau-
tiated by the excellent February
earning returns, that the road had
permanently turned the corner and
that little difficulty will be encoun-
tered in arranging for the 1925 ma
turity accounted for the uninter-
rupted buoyancy. The rise in this
group. which has stood out as one
of the conspicuous movements so
far this year. stimulated practically
all other medium and low priced
railroad bonds. Among the latter
the sharp advance in Peoria and
Eastern income 4 per cent attracted
attention.
Price movements in speculative
industrials were irregular. Ameri-
can Agricultural Chemical bonds
were outstandingly weak.
Public utilities following the sue
cess of the Western Electric offer
ing became increasingly firm.
The resignation of Premier Poin-
care and his subsequent return to
power had no effect on the Euro
pean government group. Mexican
bonds developed strength.
Liberty tonds were inclined
toward slight irregularity, follow
ing pronounced strength early in
the week.
Bond offerings during the past
week totaled about $4,000, 900.
against $29, zoo, 900 in the preceding
week, and SAL 900, 900 in the CORE.

Lower Price Trend Shown In
Stocks, Grain, Cotton and

NEW YORK, March >29.-This
has been a week of lower price
trends, not only in speculative
stocks, but in grain, cotton, silk
and other commodities.
The stock market was compelled
to Withstand heavy onslaughts from
bearish traders, whose attacks We're
not confined to high-priced indus
trial stocks which, had obviously
been "over boomed," but spread
over the whole list, with the ex-
ception of the oils and rails. Be-
ginning with Studebaker on Nom
day. the bears next turned saVagely
on American Can, as soon as the
news Of the failure to continue extra
cash dividends had been published.
Can dropped 16 points as compared
with last weeks high. Leadership
in the raid against this stock was
generally attributed to the fair
haired boy speculator" operating
from Florida.
Attack InduStriaIs.
Thursdays session closed with
another attack on high.priced in"
dustrials, during which General
Electric and Corn Products each
lost 8 points, Van Raalte preferred

coveries >,were staged later on.
Studebaker showed better resistance
after its initial pounding, and con-
stituted rallying ground for
AS In previous sessions, oils and
railroads exhibited strength, with
fractional gains in prices in most
active issues toking place except
when industrials stocks were break
ing badly. Bearish propaganda. al.
most invariably excluded the oil
and railroad companies from pre-.
diction of dire calamity, and the
bears were loath to extend opera
tions into this field. New invest
ment buying of better grade divi-
dend stocks in these groups abb
sorbed most offerings, and only in
exceptional cases did prices Gag
below the previous weeks low levels.
Oil companies reporting for 1928 did
not make favorable showings, but
it is conceded that their "inven-
tories" of stored crude oil have
enhanced in value.
Wheat and Cotton Drop.
The downward movement of
wheat and cotton prices was not
without. effect on stock market
sentiment. May wheat decline'l to
around 81 a bushel, against pre-
vious low of $1.01As and spot cotton
fell to $3.50 against $29 a week
ago and $37.65 last December.
Similarly, lower commodity prices
and complaints of neagerness of
profits in industrial enterprises, lead
to obvious conclusions that the net
earnings of corporations may not
be so complimentary this year, made
effective arguments in IL falling
stock market.
Stiffening of call money rates
followed completion of the Govern
ment's tax and refunding opera
tons. and withdrawal Of funds Of
interior banks. A per cent call
rate is not attractive to them,
when they can purchase bankers
acceptances and short term notes
