There was nothing in thu days
news to influence the selling move
ment which appeared to represent
the further correction Of :. topheavy
speculative position. Considerable
difference OF opinion exists among
expert market observers aG To
whether the current decline Is q
temporary interruption of the bull
market, or the beginning Of a major
reaction.
Baldwin Locomotive, which has
been rather inactive OF late, broke
9 points. Midland Steel products

Reports of Wheat Crop Dam.
age From Weather Changes
Are Current

Chicago, Feb. 18.-(AP)-Rcports
of big flour sales to the east helped
to strengthen wheat prices today. st
was estimated that $4,000 to 100000
bbls., representing 1,25O,000 blu. of
wheat, had been taken, the best flour
business this year. These large
purchases of flour were asserted to
indicate that stocks Of flour in
seconds hands and in course Of dis
tribution have become scarce.
Wheat closed firm, 1-2c to Sac net
higher, corn $3.50 TO IL at 5-8c up,
oats 1-Sc off to an equal advance,
and provisions varying from &c de-
cline to rise of &c.
In connection with reports today
of crop damage to wheat in states
east Of the Mississippi, it was ex-
planned that although last nights
snow covered nearly the whole
domestic wheat belt and would pro-
tect the crop from severe tcmpcra
lures in prospect, there had previ-
ously been alternate freezing and
thawing conditions. 1t was from
these conditions that injury east OF
the Mississippi was reported. Be-
sides, advices were at hand that
snow falls in some districts west
were less than had been indicated.
Announcement today that the
Spanish government has authorized
immediate importation Of 100000
bushels Of foreign wheat attracted
some notice as q bullish factor. On
the other hand, reports were re.
ceivcd that the principal European
countries have raised about To-
100000 tons more potatoes than a
year ago and that this surplus will
have an important influence to-
ward lessening Of demand for
breadstuff grain.
Corn was unsettled and somewhat
easier early onlv to rally later on
short covering and prospects Of soft
weather next week. Country offer
ings to arrive were slightly larger,
with around $4,000 bushels booked
to come here. Western markets
were reported as offering cash grain
to the east somewhat under a Chi
cago market owing to last nights
storm which greatly han.pered in
spection. Some corn export bust
ness was done 1T the Gulf, with No.

the week. Very little high protein
wheat was received, and only an

tations on the top grade were largely
nominal. Low protein South Dakota

vator buyers continued to pay the

Financial Review

New York, Feb. 18.-fP)-Stock
prices worked materially lower this
week despite the efforts of pool
operators to maintain bullish en-
thusiasm. The reaction, which
reached violent proportions on Fri
day, reflected the growing specula..
tive uneasiness over the volume OF
brokers' loans, the increase in I'M
employment and the exceedingly
small margin of profit in some OF
the country's leading industries.
Call money was in fairly plentiful
supply at relatively easy rates, but
time money and commercial paper
markets stiffened.
Except for unfavorable trade news
developments in the rubber and oil
industries, the weeks business news
was largely favorable in character.
Steel consumption and demand ap-
pear to have been fairly well stabi-
lized, with the operations of the
United States steel corporation now
around 80 per cent Of capacity. The
General Motors corporation and the
Pennsylvania railroad reported the
largest peacc-time earnings in his.
tcrv for 1927.
Rubber shares were liquidated
freely on the theory that most COM
panies would have to take large in
ventory losses as a result Of the
recent wrastic declines in the price
Of that commodity. Continued over
production of crude oil, coupled
with unfavor-dividend rumors,
brought steady liquidation into the
Gil shares. several Of which touched
their lowest levels in q year or
more.
Tho sharpest declines took place
IN some Of the high priced special
ties which had been whirled upward
to dizzy heights under pool manipu-
lation. Greene cananea copper and
Midland steel products preferred
were the hardest hit, but substantial
declines also took place in such Is
sues as international nickel, radio,
gold dust, Montgomery Ward, War
rem Bros. and several others.
