CHICAGO GRAIN MARKET.

CHICAGO, May 23.-Moisture which
appeared sufficient to give relief from
imminent anxiety over the drought
situation in the west and southwest
lad a bearish effect on wheat prices
today during the early dealings. The
crop outlook, however, remained
questionable enough to induce con-
siderable buying on declines. Little
else than weather conditions attract
ed notice.
The opening, which ranged from u
to u lower, with July LOTS to
1.O7N and September 1.08h, was fol-
lowed by g. moderate further setback.
In corn as we'll as in wheat better
weather tended to ease the market
down. After opening at haH lower

prices hardened a trif1e. but then de-
clined all around to we'll below yes
terday's finish.
oats held fairly steady. starting a
shade to u off, July AM. and later
keeping near to the initial range.
Provisions were a little weaker, In
line with the hog market.
Later a sharp rally took place IN
wheat, owing to bullish news from
Winnipeg and talk of export business
at ST. Louis, and corn rallied when
wheat took an upward swing.

BY STUART II. WEST.

Special Dispatc TO The Star.
NEW YORK, May 2S.-Today's
stock market was highly irregular
and during the greater part of the
time there was no general tendency
either way.
Sugar stocks were weak on the fur
ther reduction of ten points in refined
sugar prices and the heavy selling in
the raw sugar market. Leading sugar
interests continued to raise their es-
innate of the new Cuban crop, and
one firm has gone so far as to predict
total of over four million tons.
Punta Allegro at one stage was off
nearly two points and Cuba Cane pre-
ferred II points.
Cuban American Sugar dropped be-
low so. Despite this those best in
formed about the probable earnings
Of the Cuban companies insisted
that these would be altogether fa-
vorable. A dividend on Cuba Cane
|preferred was talked of for June.
Consistently Strong Groups.
One of the most consistently
strong groups all along has been
the public utilities. and this was
true again today. There was
special buying in Consolidated Gas
land in the American Water Works
land Electric shares. Now that the 3
per cent shares of the latter company
lis open for a declaration on the
common.
Should per cent eventually be
distributed on the junior stock the 6
per cent preferred is entitled to share
equally in anything further paid out.
At present earnings are running
above IS per cent on the combined 6
| per cent preferred and common.
Traders who had sold American Tel
ephone and Telegraph short on the
announcement of the news to the
offerings, were continuing to take
their losses.
The sharp run-up in Norfolk and
Western was attended by a revival
of gossip as to the terms of the
Pennsylvania lease negotiations. This
ish.
Investment Buying Noted.
What appeared to be further in
vestment buying was noticed in the
Union Pacific, in Southern Pacific and
in other old-line dividend-paying
rails. although it was not at all
large. Low-priced rails received very
little attention.
Among the oils the Mexicans did bet
ter than the American shares. Pan
America got above so again, and there
was some buying of Mexican Seaboard
on reports of fresh oil discoveries on
the companys territory.
AS the afternoon went on. realizing
sales began to have more effect. In the
motor and related shares there was some
further covering for a time In WHY'S

was over the stock fell back again.

ter Works improved fractionally and
established a new high record for

but the rails again held firm.
The market developed considerable
irregularity in the later trading. but
price movements were very narrow.
Prices of standard industrials
drifted rather aimlessly during the
morning, with reactionary tendencies

mendation of the abolition of the

the sugar shares on lower raw prices.

Railroad shares stiffened when Nor
folk and Western was pushed up As
points to 124S, on reports of the
progress made on plans for the lease
of that road to the Pennsylvania.
Strength of this issue and a brisk
demand for a number of specialties
impaired a steady tone to prices
around noon. Congoleum advanced
21a points; New York Dock and
Consolidated Gas, American Tele-
phone. International Paper and a few
others moved up a point or more.
Call money opened at per cent.
The bears tested the absorptive ca
pacity of the market after midday, when
United States Steel, Baldwin, American
Can, United States Industrial Alcohol,
General Electric and Chesapeake and
Ohio were forced down, but as little
stock came out, they covered hurredly
when brisk inquiry arose for New
York Central. That stock advanced to
1929, and there was also wider de-
mand for various public utilities which
have recently shown independent
strength.
