NEW HIGH LEVELS
IN STOCK MARKET
Industrials and Utilities Are
Leaders in Lively Two-
Hour Session.
By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK. May 16.—Speculators
for the advance were in complete
control in today’s brief and active
session of the stock market, the gen
eral industrial list swinging upward
under the leadership of the public
utilities. *
American water works common.
Utah securities and Virginia Railway
and Power sold 5 points above yes
terday’s Anal figures. The rails were
not as prominent in the upturn al
though Frisco common established
another new high record.
The best gains were recorded in
the motors, equipments, steels, elec
trical manufacturing and merchan
dise issues, particularly by shares of
companies which recently have been
reporting large earnings.
Coppers and oils lagged behind the
rest of the list. Included in the list
us 1925 highs were such widely diver
sified issues at Underwood Type
writer, Julius Kayser preferred. Eaton
Axle and Spring, Virginia Railway
and Power and Midland S.teel prod
ucts.
The closing was strong. Total
sales approximated 700,000 shares.
CRUCIBLE STEEL UP.
BY STUART P. WEST.
Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, May 16.—The advance
on the Stock Exchange in today's two
hour session Nook in an increasing
number of individual issues and was
featured by many new high prices.
The industrials and public utilities
were the leaders. Among the former
shares of the specialty class were
prominent. The active industrials of
the type of U. S. Steel, American Can,
Baldwin Locomotive, Mack Trucks
and the electrical equipments were in
dem*ul and encouraged buying ope
rations in other quarters.
Crucible Steel had the largest rise
of any member of that group. Shares
of lhe Southern companies—Gulf
States and Sloss Sheffield—went
higher. Buying of the latter from
83 ) 2 to 86 has been founded upon
the indications of a better tone in the
pig iron market. United States
Steel common, above 117, was up
over 2 points from the low of the
week.
Westinghouse Electric was bought
on talk of favorable earnings. The
stock at one time was up over 2
points. Allis-Chalmers went along,
and General Electric was higher.
Anaconda, above 38; Kennecott
well abov<FJ>o, and American Smelt
ing, above 97, were the features in
the copper and smelting section.
There was again talk of something
more being distributed on American
Smelting.
The rise in Baldwin Locomotive
from 114 to nearly 116 was set down
chiefly to short covering. American
Locomotive rose a point, and so did
American Car and Foundry.

FEATUREBONDS
Saturday Finds Several Liens
Reaching Higher Price
Levels.
BY GKORGE T. HUGHES.
Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW
bonds went on at a more moderate
pace today. With attention diverted
from investment to speculative issues
and especially the low-priced rails.
The feature was Green Bay and West
ern Income debenture “B” bonds
which had a spectacular advance on
the published report that the road was
to be taken over by the Burlington.
They advanced 2(4 points to 17% to 19
where a new high record for the last
six years was made. At the same
time there was buying of Ann Arbor
4s, but the gains were much smaller.
New Haven Sixes Up.
Other railroad issues in demand in
cluded the,New Haven convertible 6s,
which got above 91: Wheeling and
Lake Erie 4V 2 s and Western Maryland
4s, the last two on merger reports.
St. Louls-SanFrancisco incomes sold
at practically their record high, and
further covering went on in the St.
Paul bonds.
The high-grade investment issues
were firm, but little changed in price.
In the foreign group the recovery in
French obligations was maintained,
but went little further. The weekly
statement of the Federal Reserve
member banks showing an increase of
$35,000,000 in holdings of secuirties
other than United States obligations
explained in part the recent strength
in bonds.
St. Paul Issues Strong.
YORK, May 16 <(/P)l.—Specu
lative railroad issues wore the centers
of trade interest in today's early bond
dealings. Strong features included the
St. Paul issues, Norfolk and Western
4s and New York, West Chester and
Boston 4 ! 2 s. Oil. and public utility
bonds made moderate progress.
A $5,543,000 7 per cent bond issue
of the Province of Oordoh. Argentine,
has been purchased by local bankers
and will he offered next week.

WHEAT SELLS OFF '
IN WEEK’S TRADING:
Prospects of 20,000,000-;
Bushel Crop Increase Sends
Prices Downward.
By the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, May 16.—Prospects that
the 1925 domestic yield of Winter
wheat will lie about 20,000.000 bushels
in excess of recent unofficial figures
have done much to bring about a
sharp setback in wheat prices this
week, excepting, however, wheat
available for delivery this month.
Compared with a week ago, the wheat
market this morning showed declines
ranging from 4 cents to 6Vi cents for
July and September, with May vir
tually unchanged. Corn was cent
lo 2% cents down, oats % to 1 cent
off. and provisions at losses ranging
from 17 cents to 60 cents.
I'. S. Report Is Surprise.
The Government crop report, al
though pointing to a much smaller
production of Winter wheat than was
harvested last year, came as a sur
prise on account of indicating a total
yield <>f far greater volume than the
majority of traders had looked for.
Temporarily, the price of May wheat
was involved in the consequent down
ward plunge of the market, especially
as the United States visible supply
figures which came later failed to
show as much of a decrease as had
been expected. Another depressing
factor was uneasiness over a report
by the ■Secretary of Agriculture touch
ing recent charges of market manipu
lation.
Rally in Wheat on Hand,
Kxport business, in which one Chi
cago firm was alone credited with
having shared to the amount of 1,000,-
000 bushels in 48 hours. led to a sub
sequent decided rally in quotations
for wheat already on hand, as distin
guished from wheat yet in the fields.
Besides, a big falling off in shipments
from Argentina was announced and it
was estimated that the world carry
over of wheat July 1 would be the
smallest on record.
Corn prices were sensitive to weath
er changes likely to affect planting
and growth, and were also affected
by slowness of cash demand. Oats
felt the weight of continued big
stocks.
Provisions followed the downward
course of the hog market.
TODAY'S GRAIN PRICES.
CHICAGO, May 16 OP).—Rainy
weather brought about an early
downturn of wheat prices today. The
moisture extended over a good sized
portion of the wheat belt, and With
prevailing cool temperatures gave en
couragement for a better crop outlook,
especially as semi-drought conditions
of late through important sections
have been causing complaints of
spindly growth and shortened stems.
Ixnver quotations at Liverpool today
than were looked for tended also to
weaken values here. Chicago opening
prices % to IV4 lower. May, 167 Vi
and July, 150% to 151, were followed
by a slight further setback and then
something of a rally.
Unfavorable conditions for corn
planting, together with a rise in hog
values, made the corn market rela
tively firm. After opening at Vs to 1
off, July, 114% to 114 Vi, the corn
market scored moderate gains all
around.
Oats took their cue from wheat
j rather than corn. Starting at % to %
lower, July, 44%. the oats market
held near to the initial range.
Provisions were responsive to
strength of corn and hogs.

Moody’s Weekly Review.
Moody's Weekly Review of financial
conditions in its current issue says in
part:
“Security prices have mostly recov
ered from the March break, although
trade conditions remain substantially
unchanged. We are passing through
a temporary seasonal trade reaction,
and for the time being general busi
ness is not as active as it was in
March and early April.
“Hence the rise in bonds to new
high levels and the three-quarters re
covery in stocks cannot be attributed
to trade changes.
“Our present capacity to absorb new
securities, including municipals and
foreign issues, is probably about $525-
000,000 per month, whereas these new
issues since January have been aver
aging about $450,000,000 per month ”

Another new high record was estab
lished by common stock of the Wash
