corn Is ACTIVE
But GAINS LIGHT
Buying Develops On Re-
ports OF Snow And
Rain In Belt

CHICAGO, April 11.-Snow and
rain likely to delay corn shipment, as
well as to hinder field work, led to con-
siderable buying of corn and oats to-
day, but the resulting upturns in price
turned out to be largely transient. Corn
closed unsettled at &c off to Nc ad-
Vance, May TIC. The finish in wheat
was also unsettled, bc to 1ac down,
May $1.011a and July $1O3A to
$1.033s, with oats lower 1sc lower to
co Hcssup and provisions showing 2
to 10c decline.
With as much as eight inches of
snow reported to have fallen in some
sections Of Iowa and with unreasonable
cold weather expected over 4 wide
territory, corn took the lead in point of
activity. The increased demand for
feeding and for other purposes proved
broad enough to keep corn values tend
ing upward until the last half hour of
the board of trade session, especially as
prospects pointed to a good sized de-
crease Of the visible supply total on
Monday next. Profit taking on the
part OF early buyers, however, brought
about more or less reaction as the
day drew to an end. Offerings of
wheat increased whenever the market
scored price gains. Reports that Italy
was in the market as, a buyer had a
temporary stimulating influence and 50,
too, did gossip about some export buy
ing of hard winter wheat for shipment,
by way of the Gulf of Mexico. On the
other hand sales of a liberal amount
of wheat to 81 into store here, were
announced increasing the total avail
able for delivery on May contracts.
Further evidence of good cali for oats
at Minneapolis tended tos uphold the
oats market here. ~. ssl.
In provisions the effect of higher
prices on hogs was more than offset by
little foreign selling of meats:

SHARP ADVANCE
IN STOCK PRICES
Recovery Brought About
By Short Covering
Operations

NEW YORK, April 11.-Short COW
ering operations, apparently inspired
by the news that the PREPARATIONS COM
mission had accepted the Dawes report,
brought about sharp recovery in to-
days stock market, after an early pc
Rod of heaviness, during which most
Of the motors established new low rec
ords for the year.
Standard industrials. such as United
States | common, Baldwin, American
Can, General Electric and United
States Industrial Alcohol closed at net
gains of 1 to 2 points. Supporting ord
ers in number of these issues were in
evidence from the start, further opera
lions for the decline being held in
check by the growing belief that sew
eral issues had been oversold.
Oil shares developed independent
strength on rumors of another early
increase in crude prices, Cosden, Pa
ciic Oil, the. Pan-American issues,
Houston and Standard Oil of Cali
fornia gaining point or SO.
Selling of the motors was in further
reflection of alarming reports of de-
creased production and sales. New
1924 lows in this group were establish
ed by Studebaker, Willys-Overland pre-
ferred, White Motor, Mack Truck,
Stewart-Wa Warner, Stromberg Carbure
tor, Yellow Cab and Chicago Yellow
Cab, the two last named issues break
ing about 5 points. Fisher Body broke
nearly ~ points, to 1905, and then
rallied to 1882.
Sugar shares were heavily sold on

showing record work production of more
Sugar Refining created another new
record low for all time at 40 and then
rallied to Al. South Porto Rican Sugar

selling as low as 81 y.
\ Short covering in Tobacco Products,
(which closed 2 points higher at 81,
after having established a new years
minimum price at SO, undoubtedly was
influenced by the return to this coun
try today of George Whelan, the prin-
cipal stakeholder, who declared the out
look for the tobacco industry this year
was very good.
Revival of demand for Norfolk and
Western, which rallied about 3 points
to 1914 on rumors of special devidend
developments was the feature of the
railroad list. Other active shares in
that group displayed a firm tone.
Call money held steady at Az per
cent all day. Time money and CONNER
cial paper rates were unchanged, the
bulk of the business being done at "a
per cent. Foreign exchange trading
was quiet, with the principal rates fluc-
tuating within narrow Range. De-
mand sterling held fairly steady just
above $4.33 and French francs were
quoted just below cents.

Trade still shapes up as about fair,

proach of Easter. 1t Is certain that the
of an appreciable expansion of retail

country trade being slower to feel the
