BONDS DEPRESSED

Reactionary Price Move
ments Predominant On
Market During Day

NEW YORK, May 27-Reactionary
price movements predominated in to-
days bond market as the temporary
tiffenins of money rates checked in
bestment buying and the speculative
element adopted a waiting attitude
pending final disposition of the tax
bill.
Weakness of st. Paul railway issues,
over the April deficit was a depress-
ing influence on the rail list. The
st. Paul as of 1925 encountered the
heaviest selling, falling back points,
while the AIS yielded more than 2
points. No new developments were re-
ported in the company's negotiations
for new financing, which is not ex-
pected to take place until next fall.
Profit taking wiped out previous gains
in a large number of other rail liens.
Ready absorption of the 500 100000
big Four bonds, offered today. was
encouraging to invest circles. Evidence
of the eager public demand for new
rail securities, 1t was reported would
lead to an early sale of Baltimore &
Ohio's first refunding issue to meet
1925 maturities. Half of the $40 $50 900

and the close showed net losses for the
day of 81 points on July and 80 to S2
points on new crop positions.
At the start Liverpool was better than
due and there were private reports of
rains in the interior. The IL" o'clock
weather report showed heavy rains in
most of the central belt and parts OF
Georgia as well as in Oklahoma. .-
Although the rains had tendency 10
support the market, reactionary sentt-
ment was based on advices from the
interior that the crop was making more
favorable progress The two condltlon
reports by private authorities issued dur
ing the day, one making the average SO
and the acreage increase per cent and
the other making the condition SIG ana
the acreage 81 per cent, were construed
as bearish because they gave rather high
er condition and acreage percentages. than
those issued earlier.

ing reported from New York. 1t was also
claimed that the advance in prices or
new crop figures due to unfavorable crop
reports was leading to a better feeling
among dry goods buyers.

NEW YORK, May 27.-siight early

closing at $3.50. The general market
closed steady at net declines Of Is to

Relatively steady. Liverpool cables
and an unfavorable weather map were
reflected by opening advances of 2 to
5 points and active positions soon sold
10 to 10 points net higher with July
These prices represented advances of
low levels and evidently attracted con-
siderable realizing. There was no Inn
provement in weather or crop news and
additional private reports tended to
confirm previous low condition figures
but failed to stimulate much fresh buy
ing. This increased the disposition to
secure profits on recent purchases and
the decline extended to 29.55c for July
and 25.sec for December in--the late
trading.
Two private reports were issued, one

WHEATLOWER
DUE TO RAINS
Wet Weather Beneficial
To Crop In Far
West

CHICAGO, May 27.-Rains in the
southwest and west where moisture
was needed, led to lower prices today
for wheat. The market closed heavy
at q to &c net decline, July, $1.O7% q
1.o7E, and September, $1.osA @1.09, with
corn * to %@%c off, oats unchanged
to bc higher and provisions ranging
from SC setback to an equal gain.
+ With wet weather benefitting crops
in Kansas and In Oklahoma and Ne
braska as well, price downturns were
the rule in the wheat market through
out the day. The fact that there had
been steady advance of values recent
v had a bearish effect also, an opin-
ion being prevalent that something of
a reaction was due. Weakness of prices
at Winnipeg and slowness Of export de-
mand tended further to induce selling
here. On the declines which resulted,
commission house buying developed
but the purchase orders failed to reach
sufficient volume to offset the pressure
from holders who wanted to realize
profits.
Winnipeg wheat weakness was ex-
planned here as having been brought
about by q decided pause in the Euro
pean demand which Of late had been
lifting the Canadian market. Only
250,00O bushels Of Canadian wheat ap-
peared to have been taken for trans
ysnttc shipment, and nothing at all
from the Un4Leu states, except a lit
tie durum. On the other hand, domes-
tic primary receipts today were hardly
more than half as large as a year ago.
