FIRM; TRADING

Uneven Ranges.
BIZ United Press

BU Untted Press
CHICAGO, Feb. Reports Of
damage to winter crops restored
firmness to wheat futures here to-
day. Corn and oats were little
changed and showed uneven ranges
At the close wheat was IL cent
to 17s cent higher, corn was up Y
cent to 5s cent and oats were Il
cent to u cent higher. Provisions
were about steady.
Trading in wheat only was moder-
ately active most of the session,
there being no particular incentive
for action either way.
However, reports of damage to
winter crops. we're so persistent that
prices held firm throughout the
morning.
News that the Argentine govern
Ynent had been asked to withhold
wheat from world markets did not
affect the situation here. Liver
pool cables were stronger than due
early.
Although trend of corn was
slightly lower, May found good sup
port around 81 and there were
periods of comparative strength dur
ing the day.
Argentine news was bullish, the
government stating that irrepar-
able damage had resulted from the
seven weeks drouth there. Country
offerings were light.
Oats held q firm tone most OF
the day in a featureIess session.
Cash markets were: Wheat, I'M
changed: corn, u cent to y cent
lower.
Receipts were: Wheat, % cars;
corn, 1872, and oats, Is.

NEW YORK, Feb. radio Cor
poration stock whirled up 1925 a
share in the late trading today on
the New York Stock Exchange,
reaching $403 share as compared
with the closing price Thursday of
$370.25.
American Can also was bid up
sharply and rallying tendencies
buoyed up United States Steel.
Strength in these issues arrested
a previous decline and the market
developed a stronger tone before the
final gong stopped the transactions.
In the late rush. the ticker fell
behind four minutes.
Confidence Is Restored
Wall Street entered the new
month today with confidence ap-
parently restored.
Credit appeared ample, although 1t
was necessary to mark up call
money to 8 per cent after it had
ruled at Z nearly through the ses-
sion.
The outlook was for easier money
as soon as the Feb. interest and
dividend checks were out of the
way, and this caused heavy buy
ing during the first half of the
session.
After prices had been bid up l
to nearly IL points it was only
natural that considerable profit TAX
ing should follow before the late
Radio rally. This sort of selling was
aggravated by the rise In call money.
Chrysler Motors and Packard
sagged. Gardner lost heavily after
a statement by its president the
stock was selling too high
Rail Prices Strong
Railroad stocks, however, contin-
Jed to hold the center Of the stage
and coppers held up well and other
groups retained a fair portion of
their earlier gains.
Oils. utilities and motor equip
ment issues we're In better demand
today. Rubbers also rallied. For
time in early dealings, the market
presented the strongest front so far
This year, ignoring an increase of
S116, 1000 to record In brokerage
loans.
Dealings we're above a five million
share pace.

GATHER DATA
FOR HEARING
Statistics For Differential
Case Now Being Com
piled In State
Especial to The HERALD


SAN BENITO, July 12.-Statistics
to be used in presenting the case Of
Texas shippers and growers to the
Interstate Commerce Commission
to seek removal of the freight diff
ferential are being compiled at the
present time, and the first hearing
before the commission will be held
this fall, probably at Ell Paso, &C
cording to j. E. Bell, representative
of the Texas Industrial Traffic
League from this section.
Bell has just returned to San Be
nito from Galveston, where he at
tended a meeting of the traffic
league, called by u. S. Pawkett.
The latter will present the case of
the Valley and West Texas before
the commission, in seeking removal
of the d~ifferential.
at was brought out at the meet
ing" Bell said, that most of the
railroads of the state have made
more money in the d~ifferential ter
ritory by two or three per cent than
they have made in the common
point territory in the state. This in
dicates that without the d~ifferential
their profits would still be as large
in the sections now paying a differ
entail, as in the sections not paying
a differential."
A fund of $4,000 has been raised
in West Texas and the Valley to
present the case to the commission
