Stocks Edge Higher
On Rail News and
Russian Action
By Victor Eubonk
Associated Pres. Financial Writer


NEW YORK. May 1.-THE news
was on the side Of recovery in to-
days stock market and leaders gen.
orally edged upward despite consid-
cradle profit cashing.
Bullish contingents found an
argument In the calling OF OF the
threatened railway strike and the
agreement Of Russia to confer with
America for the settlement Of Diff
ferences between the two countries.
Chances of technical correction
of the swing to new highs since last
July, however, caused the trimming
of accounts here and there.
Dealings were relatively active
throughout. While advances run
ming to point or so were reduced
or Cancelled near the fourth hour,
the plus column remained widely
populated.
Touching best levels for 194S were
Standard Oil of Ohio, on a jump in
net; Illinois Central, Southern Pa
cifc and Radio Corp.
Aircrafts such as Boeing, Lock-
heed, United and Douglas backed
down, apparently on the slightly
better peace outlook. Hesitant were
Northern Pacific (reflecting March
net loss). Union Pacific, Firestone
Tire, United States Gypsum, Ken
necott, Du Pont and Union Carbide.
Bonds were steady.

ky the Assoeiotsd Press

CAMBRIDGE, Mass, Jan. To-
Police today sought the source OF
smoke bombs used to cover the es-
cape of three gunmen who seized
$4,000 in cash at big department.
store in Harvard Square yesterday.
Authorities said that II the bombs
were manufactured for the armed

perts we're examining the shells OF
two bombs for markings.
They said they could have been
purchased at a surplus commodity
center.
The bombs, tossed by two OF three
robbers figuring in the holdup,
sent choking smoke through the
establishment operated by the Har-
ward Cooperative Society, Great
ing turmoil among 200 customers
and 20 clerks.
The robbers, apparently aware OF
the exact time Of arrival OF the
cash, grabbed 1t within a few min
utes after it had been delivered to
the cashier by a guard from an ar
mored bank car.
They escaped in a car driven
by a confederate through the heavy
MONDAY traffic of Harvard Square.

Seen Improved Over
Estimate Of Month Ago
Rx fhs A.seeiatsd Prs.s

Prospects for the 1948 wheat crop.
which last month was officially fore.
cast at more than q billion bushels,
nave improved in recent weeks, the
Agriculture Department reported
yesterday.
Winter wheat seeding, which got
of to q very poor start In the
Southern Great Plains. has con-
tinued unusually late in that area
but with good termination and
growth.
The department said wet fields
continued to hamper harvesting Of
crop remnants and seeding in the
Southwest. Soil moisture was said
to be adequate In most areas, but
excessive in the Southeast.
The department said stocks Of
wheat on farms January from the
record 1s47 crop was the second
largest of record for the date, de-
spite heavy exports and use In this
country.
Farmer Reserves.
The January l wheat stocks were
reported at 427 $50 900 bushels, or
II per cent above stocks OF a year
ago.
Farmer reserves of $4,000, 900
bushels in Nebraska, Kansas, Okla
homa, Texas and Colorado were
much larger than the 13l 100000 a
year ago.
Farm stocks of feed grains, on
the other hand, were the smallest
since the drought years of the sos,
chiefly because corn stocks Of 1,5l8,-
900 900 bushels were sixth below
average.
The department said continued
heavy feeding of dairy cows during
December was reflected In near rec
ord production of milk per COW.
Total production for 1947 was ssti-
mated at 1000, 900 600 pounds, ex-
ceeded only in 1945 and then by !
per cent.
Egg Production High.
Egg production In December also
was at a high level, about the same
as last year. Production for the full
year of 1947 was estimated at 55,-
500 900 900 eggs, about the same as
in 1916 and nearly one-fourth above
average. .l
