business, especially in Canadian
wheat was on a tremendous scale.
According to estimates which were
current, 100000 bushels of North
American wheat has been purchased
this week to be shipped to Europe as
soon as practicable. The consequent
stimulus today to prices for thlure
deliveries, however, was greater IN
the July delivery than May, the new
crop month being at an unusualy
wide discount. July delivery OF Wheat
thus became the speculative traoe
header, an dat one time scored an
impressive advance, of cents
bushel, as compared with YESTERDAY
finish. A trade opinion when re-
ceived much notice was that the price
of July wheat would be governed py
uncertainties of the growing season
and bv likelihood of the best demand
in years for the first movement OF
new wheat. Less favorable crop au-
vices from the southwest were lhe
subject of comment on TINS account
Complaints OF dry weather ana low
temperatures affecting wheat pros
poets were also at hand from parts
of Nebraska and from the American
and Canadian northwest. 1t was as
serted that there is virtually no re-
serve sub-soil moisture in the greater
part of the spring wheat belt ana
that lateness of seeding puts the
spring crop in serious danger OF dam
age by rust or excessive heat in July
and August.
Corn and oats advanced with wheat.
Prolonged cool weather counted also
as bullish factor in the corn mar
ket. Further delay to oats seeding.
was reported
Provisions were responsive TO gram
strength and to the upward trend OF
the hog market.

WEEKLY FINANCIAL

& NEW YORK, April ia slow de-
cline i'm stock prices, a. slight stiffen-
ing in bond Quotations reflecting the
easing of monetary rates, sharp
rally in wheat futures, a break IN
rubber prices and a drop in silver 70
the lowest point in two years were
the high lights Of this weeks Imam
cial and commodity markets.
The stock market appeared to be
awaiting more definite indications Oh
the trend of business, which has been
,hampered this spring by unseason-
able weather. Such ordinarily 1aVor-
able factors as another sharp drop In
brokers' loans, a substantial increase
in bank clearings, q 70 per cent JulnP
in gasoline consumption, and un-
usually favorable first quarter earn
ing reports by several huge railroad
and industrial corporations were
counteracted by the further decline
in Wholesale commodity prices. The
reduction in steel mill operations, the
slowing up Of several lines of dis
tributive trade and the narrowing
margin of profit in several indus
tries, particularly the sugar, steel
and textile.
/ The rally in wheat was inspired by
fears of world shortage of the
commodity before the new crop is
ready. The break in rubber reflected
the accumulation of surplus stocks Of
the raw material Heavy selling OF
the Chinese currencies for the pur-
pose of accumulating Japanese ex-
change which is expected to be re-
stored to a gold basis, accounted for
+ the drop in silver.
Douglas daily dispatch., 1926-04-18

in building up a permanent market
position.
Several items, capable of bullish in
depreciation made their appearance
in the days news. These included
the weekly report of the federal re-
serve bank showing another sharp
drop in brokers' loans for the week
ended April Z, bringing the total be-
low $2,50OO 600 for the first time this
year; the statement that bank clear
ings this week were Az per cent
above the corresponding week last
year; the publication of the annual
report of the Pan-American Petro-
leum and Transport company, show
ing earnings of $9.91 a share (par
s50) as compared with $5.67 in 1924;
the announcement that the Canadian
plant of the General Motors corpor-
alton would resume operations on
Monday and that the Canadian tariff
would not particularly. affect the
parent company and the report Of
the American Petroleum institute,
showing an increase of 20 per cent
in gasoline consumption in the first
two months. of this year as compared
with the corresponding period or
1925.
Offsetting these influences, how
ever, was the establishment of an,
other new low record by Frehch
francs at 3,34 cents; further drop
in silver prices bringing them to the
lowest level in two years and the re-
port of the bureau of labor statistics
showing a drop of 2A per cent in
wholesale commodity prices last
month. one of the sharpest monthly
declines on record.
Motors fluctuated rather erratically
in today's market, opening heavy,
rallying sharply, losing part of their
gains, and then bounding upward
again at the close General Motors,
Hudson, Mack Truck, Stewart-War-
ner, White and Pierce-Arrow pre-
ferred all closed / to nearly points
higher.
Advances of about and points
respectively, in Burns Brothers "a

Eusually favorable earnings report was
| one of the new features, Substan-
tial gains also were recorded by Chi

Solvents "a" National Tea and Safety
/ Cable. United States Steel common
and most of the other standard in
dustriaIs showed. only small frac-
tional changes.
Rails were practically neglected
Texas and Pacific, the most active
issue, advanced over a point with
similar gains being recorded by Atch-
ison, Atlantic Coast Line and Della
ware and Hudson on much smaller
| turnovers
Commodity prices were mixed with
a sharp rally of PA to nearly cents
| in wheat futures as the feature. Cot
| ton was practically unchanged. The
raw sugar and coffee markets were
| firm.
/ Trading in the foreign exchanges
| was quiet Demand sterling held
! steady at $4.S5% and most of the
IEuropean rates showed little change
1.-The so-called "silver currencies" were
heavy but Japanese yen advanced
close to AZ cents, the highest price

/ change touched new low for the
