LITTLE CHANGE;

Several Issues Move Lower
on Profit Taking in
Grain Market.
BY ELMER C. WALLER
United Press Financial Editor

NEW YORK, May 29.-The stock
market turned easier today in dull
trading.
The opening was at a rate OF
100000 shares for a full five-hour
session, with only occasional blocks
of more than 100 coming out.
Opening prices were firm but
when profit-taking set in on the
Chicago grain market, stock prices
started slipping. The farm group,
such as Case, International Har-
vester, Sears Roebuck, all showed
fractional declines.
Metals appeared under pressure
led by United States Smelling,
which dipped IL points to 116.
American Smelling was off frac-
tionally at 3912.
Individual groups showed some
strength. Armour of Illinois pre-
ferred firmed more than point to
6915 as result of the reorganization
agreement adopted by directors yes
terday. Some strength came into
the amusement group with Loews,
Paramount and Warner Brothers
benefting.
The general list showed minor
changes. United States Steel was
off Is of a point at IL. American
Can was down l at 9334, after being
delayed more than an hour IN open
ing, while American Telephone
gained a of a point to 11412. Rails
held about steady as did the utility
group.

The return on investment for the
1873 smaller companies amounted to
1873 per cent While the loss on in
vestment for the fifty-Seven large
companies was OTIS per cent. Stock
holders in the 1873 smaller compan-
les, which have only about 10 per
cent as much capital investment as
is reported for the group of large
companies, received 81 per cent as
much in dividends as stockholders
of the large companies.
These facts, according to the in
Stitute, do not bear out assertions
that have been made in some quar-
tiers that the steel code has given an
advantage to big producers over
smaller ones in the industry.
Total wages and salaries paid by
the 100 companies in 1888 amounted
to $455 ,6OO916 compared with only
$40, 38O,224 distributed to STOCKHOLM
ers in cash dividends.
The report reveals reduction in
losses for the steel industry during
the last half of 1888. The combined
loss for all these companies during
the first six months of 1888 was
$55. 388,232 compared with $4,305,-
1859 for the last six months.

companies increased from $173, $780,

an increase of 62 per cent. This
compared with an increase of about
40 per cent in operations over the
same period. Average operations
for the year were "a per cent OF
capacity.
The combined condensed balance
sheet of these steel companies, as
reported by the Institute, shows a
