STOCK PRICES
CLOSE STEADY
General List Sweeps Upward
Again Today, Setting New
High Records

New York, March 17.-(AP)-
Heavy profit taking checked the adj
vance in few issues in today's stock
market, but the general list swept
forward in impressive fashion, set
ting flock of new high records. So
great was the volume of trading that
the ticker had fallen 20 minutes be-
hind the market during the second
hour, but the transactions generally
were in much smaller lots than a
week ago. The days sales aggregated
1900, 900 shares.
Railroad shares, which have been
tagging behind the industrials, were
in the forefront Of today's advance.
Gains in that group ranged from l
to points, with about dozen issues
in new high ground.
Weekend mercantile reviews pro-
vided little material on which to base
a broad upward movement of prices,
but operators for the advance had
the clears" on the run, and pressed
their advantage at every Opportun-
ity.
General Motors moved up 3 points
to a new peak at 172. but the other
motors Jagged behind. Hudson and
Mack trucks showing some weak
ness. Du Pont, which has large Gen.
cral Motors holdings, climbed more
than 4 points to new peak and
sharp gains were recorded by Ameri-
can Machine and Foundry, Manhat-
tan Electrical Supply, international
Telephone and Case Threshing.
The closing was steady.

Wheat prices moved sharply higher

Financial Review

New York, March 17.-(AP)-
All trading records of the New
York stock exchange were&broken
this week in spectacular advance
In prices which carried the general
average Of industrial stocks to a
new high tlevel for all time. Each
days trading ran above 100000
shares with at least three sessions
running close to the 100000 mark.
The railroad shares, which had been
tagging behind the industrials for
several weeks; joined the upswing as
the week closed.
Radio Corporation was the out
standing feature, scoring an extreme
gain Of more than so points on ru-
nors of technical corner" in that
issue, which was made the subject
Of stock exchange inquiry. No in
formation was forthcoming as to the
progress or result Of the investiga-
ton, which is still under wav. The
stock dropped from Z high Of 100 on
Tuesday to 1873, closing last night at
1l2h.
General Motors, which touched
16l last Saturday and then reacted
several points on profit taking,
started forward again towards the
close Of the week, setting q new high
record at 100 on Friday. Other mo-
tors followed in its wake, Chrysler,
Hudson and WHY'S Overland all
reaching new high ground. Uncon.
firmed rumors that the Ford organ
i5ation was unable to make prompt
deliveries on all orders, coupled with
reports Of unexpectedly large in
creases in February and March
sales by other producers, provided
the background for the upward
movement.
So extensive was the speculation
in Radio, American Linseed and a
few Of the other pool favorites that
the entire capital stock of those
corporations was turned over in the
weeks trading. A flock Of new high
records was created during the week
by such diversified issues as Amer
lean international Corporation,
American Can, Allied Chemical,
Baldwin Locomotive, Continental In
surance, Du Pont, Electric Auto
Lite, General Cable, Interborough
Rapid Transit, international Tele-
phone, International Cement, Inter-
national Match preferred, Loew's
Inc, Manhattan Electrical supply,
National Biscuit, Park & Tilford,
Sinclair Oil, Stewart Warner Speed
ometer, United Drug and Wright
Aeronautical.
There vas little in the weeks
business news to influence the price
movement. The weekly trade re-
view reported that steel production
had lost some Of its momentum and
the February foreign trade figures
showed . much smaller export bal
ance than the same month of recent
years. An increase Of more than
$50, 000, 900 in brokers' loans was
disregarded, ct least for the tine
being. Vague rumors that Presi-
dent Coolidge had decided to recon-
slider his decision not to become q
candidate in 1928 were believed to
be factor in the violent advance Of
the last few days. Credit conditions
continued relatively easy despite
tho $1,000 000, 900 turnover Of funds
in conneetien with federal income
tax payments and midmonth divi-
dend and interest disbursements.

Chicago, March 17.-(AP)-Wheat

sand wheat prices ranged upward.
The United States government re-
sport on stocks of wheat in country
.mills and elevators was construed as
decidedly bullish. and reports from
,Chicago crop observers indicated
sheavy abandonment of winter wheat

southwest as well. Corn rose to a

.7-8 cent down. Oats unchanged to

1t was pointed out by wheat trad
ers today that official figures on
domestic country mill and elevator
stocks Of wheat showing rcduc-
ton Of 100000 bushels below last
year are about 100000 under the
estimates Of private experts. AS
sertions were also made that the
total domestic disappearance Of
wheat is 55.OOO.OOO above that for
the preceding crop.
Conclusions drawn by authorities
friendly to higher prices for wheat
were that today's government re-
port taken with other current infor-

that this country holds the only
stick Of good wheat in the northern

supplies below expectations and !.

be justified.

Butter Market

Chicago, March 17.-(AP)-Cur-
tailment in buying, coupled with a
slight increase in arrivals of butter,
has caused receivers to adopt free
selling policy. Accordingly butter
prices on all markets have declined.
Operators generally, both buyers
and sellers, appear indiposed to per-
NIT any accumulation Of butter on
their floors. Trade authorities say
possibilities of declines are to be ex-
pected rather than advances at this
season Of the year.
Withdrawals of butter from stor-
age 1T the principal markets are
exceeding those Of a year ago.

President Coolidge Among other pro-
visions, it would authorize an appro-
priation Of $1O0,000,000 = fo- the
