NEW YORK, June 7 (P0.-Strong
buying support came into the stock
market today to counteract the SELL
ing inspired by the huge increases in
brokers' loans last week. While several
new weak spots developed during the
session, major speculative activity was
again on the up side, more than two
score new high records being estab
lished in the early hours of trading.
Trading was in fairly heavy volume.
Strength of the rails was due, in
part, to the limited floating supply of
many issues as a result of the with
drawal of large blocks from the market
in recent months by investment inter
eSts. New peaks were established by
Norfolk and Southern, Rock Island,

showed decided upward trend, but
strength developed mainly in the last
half of the day. This was the case in
particular after official advices be-
came current that European wheat
supplies are nearing exhaustion, that
European cereal crops are backward
and that buyers in Europe are greatly
concerned over unfavorable crop re-
ports from the American southwest
and as to adverse seeding conditions in
Canada and Australia.
Buying of wheat and also of other
grain was likewise stimulated through
reports from Springfield that there is
more. opposition being shown to the
Kessinger bill, the measure in the state
legislature which it is charged is in
tended to put grain future trading
under control of political appointees.
Besides, it was announced that YES
sci charters had been made today for
$4,000 bushels of rye to be shipped out
of Chicago. Inasmuch as the total
stock of rye here is only $4,000 bu-
shells, this brings the remainder down
to $4,000 bushels.
Corn rallied with wheat, but not
until July delivery of corn had dropped
to 987s cents on account of improved
weather conditions and because of
early disturbing legislative reports
from Springfield. Oats sagged with
corn, and later became bearishly af-
fected by warmer temperatures and by
curtailment of cash demand.
Provisions went lower with hog
values, but subsequently received good
buying support
