CHEERFUL TONE
PREVAILS IN PIT
Optimism Strengthens Price
of Wheat.


CHICAGO, Feb. 2S.-More optim.
ism pervaded the trade at the open
ing of the Chicago Board Of Trade
today, general sentiment being
cheered by the elimination of pos.
sible enactment Of unsound legisla-
ton and the announcement that the
grain futures act the Administration
had agreed to suspend that part of
report of individual positions in the
open market. Wheat opened I'M
changed to &c higher than Satur-
days close. Liverpool was higher
than expected, due to the falling off
of shipments from the southern
hemisphere to the United Kingdom,
and this added to the bullishness
here.
Sentiment in corn continued bear
ish, with opening prices 1sc to nc
lower than the previous close. This
grain needs a broader commercial
demand, and until it moves into con-
sumptive channels in sufficient. vol
ume to give the cash market tone,
lower prices seem inevitable.
Oats have been well liquidated and
are down to price level where a
little help from investors might
bring better values. Prices opened
unchanged to 1sc higher.
Provisions opened higher.

RECOVERY" CONTINUES IN PORKER PR CES
INDUSTRIAL GAINS, RAIL
SHAKE-UP MARK WEEK
Followers of Carrier Stock AWed by Court Decision T
Advances Range Up to 200 Points.

Commission valuation OF the Los
Angeles G. Salt Lake Railway, the
Presidents veto of. the McNary-
Haugen farm relief bill, an advance
in call money on Friday to 5 per
cent, the highest rate since Jan. 5,
and development of more active
business in steel and other indus
tries were the outstanding events
in the financial district.
Exaggerate Meaning
With regard to the SurreT1e Court
decision, traders have como to the
conclusion that its importance had
been exaggerated, and it is now be-
lieved in Wall Street that railroads
will be able to take their individual
cases before the Supreme Court,
each being given separate considera-
ton.
Brokers had been telling their
clients that the Los Angeles Rail-
way valuation would be a test case
and had been advising purchasers
on the theory that it's validity would
be questioned by the highest tri-
bunal; hence when the announce
ment came from Washington that
their predictions had been erroneous,
large blocks of railroad stocks were
thrown upon the market suddenly
with the result that losses up to 1914
points We're sustained.
Rails Fall Behind
Further study of the decision, how
ever, showed traders that they had
jumped to conclusions, and rally
of proportions equal to the selling
ensued, sending most prices of de-
pressed issues to within two or three
points of their previous days close.
However, eagerness to pick up low
price rail issues with merger posi-
bilities was dampened, and this
group relegated to the background
for the remainder of the week. Fol
lowing the holiday industrlals
snatched the lead from rails and kept
it up to the closeing bell on Satur-
day, at which time. however, it was
noticed that interest IN these shares
was being reincarnated.
