ing prices into a period of recovery

Of 454 points or $22.50 bale.
The principal cause for the advance
included the persistent unfavorable

further delayed the planting of the

position and a revival of the demand
for dry goods.

Speculative Unrest Held Due to De-
lay of Dawes Report.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK. April stock prices

renewed against the Independent

Selling pressure was increased as
trading progressed, Gulf States Steel

its previous low at 541a. Additional
new lows were established by Pierce
Arrow common and preferred, Kelly

Due to Dawes Report Delay.
Speculative disappointment over
the failure of the Dawes committee
10 make it's report public today was
held responsible for the heavy selling
by professional traders, which car
I-ied down prices 1 to 3 points in all
sections of the list. Steels, motors,
chemicals and tobaccos bore the
brunt of the pressure, several issues
in those groups establishing new low
prices for the year. Dupont, Wool

up vigorously for time, particularly

Mixed Conditions Prevail in

WALL STREET, New York, April
9.-Todays stock market was a mix
rure of advances and declines among
individual stocks. For the first hour
or more, weakness in the automobile
group had an unsettling effect upon
the entire list. Then substantial buy
ing reappeared in Norfolk and West
ern. carrying it up close to its high.
This encouraged resumption OF
operations for the rise in other rails
which had been prominent last week,
such as Missouri Pacific preferred, the
Seaboard Air Lines Texas and Pacinc
and Atlantic Coast Line. Professional
sentiment was in the main hostile 70

Increasing competition. There is the

The first quarter reports will make
an excellent showing, but the let-up
which was first noticed in the fiscal
week of March has continued and the
rival companies are putting forth
more of an effort to secure new busi-
ness, for this purpose making price
shares were decidedly heavy from
the start.
For the same reason that the motor
stocks We're being sold, the shares of
automobile industry Were weak.
Kelly Springfield sold under Is for
the first time, accompanied by q fur

bonds. United States Rubber com
mon also was freely offered below 80.
Good support For Oil.
Oil shares continued to receive better
support than most of the other in
GuStrial groups, and some of the public
utility stocks came in for more at
tention. Among these were the Ameri-
can Water Works common and 6 per
cent preferred, which responded to the
remarkable statement for 1928 show
ing over S13 earned on their combined

only a temporary diversion. AS the
