NEW YORK. April 9.—Bond traders
had another active session today. The
turnover in the speculative descriptions
teas as largo as it has been on any re

a shade higher. On the other hand,
selling came into the rubber bonds.

RETURN ON STOCKS
IS AT LOW FIGURE
Yield on Industrial Common
Shares Down to 2.8 Pet.,
Fisher’s Index Shows.
Prices staggered upward again last
week on the New York Stock Ex
change; but the quotations, like the
stock brokers, showed signs of weari
ness.
The motors group declined in price
level. General Motors being off some $6
a share and Hudson $4. Steels and
railroad equipments weakened slightly
on a turnover only about half as large
as the week before. There were drops
of about $2 a share each in American
Locomotive, Colorado Fuel & Iron,
Pressed Steel Car and United States
Steel. Radio was the star performer
with its jumps of $32 a share in the
last five and a half trading days. It
was a factor in the advance of the mis
cellaneous group, which was also helped
along by General Electric, up $9; Sim
mons. up $8; American Radiator, up $7,
and Continental Can and Otis Elevator,
up $6 each.
The otls group and the coppers and
miscellaneous metals group did better
than usual last week. These two groups
have heretofore shown less strength
than other common industrial groups
during the recent bull movement. Mar
land Oil was up $4 a share, Houston $7,
Atlantic Refining $5 and Pan-American
$3. Granby Mining and Anaconda led
the coppers-metals group with a gain of
$6 each.
Index Goes Up.
During March the index of stocks
traded went up about 11 per cent to
295.4, showing that any trader who
went in and out of the market leaders
each week would have averaged to make
11 per cent profit without taking into
account any additional profit from mar
ginal operation, and without deduction
for commissions or interest on borrowed
money.
The investor who merely held an
average assortment of stocks secured an
appreciation of about 5' 2 per cent in
his holdings during March, as shown by
the advance of the March average of
stocks held to 139 5.
The rate of return on common indus
trials last week touched a new low, at
least for recent years, 2.8 per cent, ac
cording to Irving Fisher's index.

WHEAT HAS UPTURN
ON WEATHER NEWS
Cold in Winter Belt Has Bullish
Effect on Prices of Grain
at Chicago.
By the Associated Presa.
CHICAGO. April 9.—lnfluenced by
unseasonable cold throughout the Win
ter wheat belt, wheat values made a
brisk early upturn today. Fears were
expressed that damage had been done
to new wheat In the more advanced
sections. Opening \ to % higher, the
wheat market later scored additional
gains. Com. oats and provisions were
likewise firmer, with corn starting *,*
to l /2 rise, and continuing to point
upward.
Supplementing the bullish effect of
apprehension about unduly low tem
peratures in Winter wheat territory, re
ports were at hand today telling of in
creased abandonment of wheat acreage
east of the Mississippi. A Chicago crop
authority advised that from here to
Champaign. Danville and Paris, 111 .
fully two-thirds of the Winter wheat
crop will be abandoned, and that the |
remainder is more or less thin and
patchy.
Much of the farther distant wheat
territory west and southwest of the
Mississippi that needed moisture was
reported today as having been missed
by recent rains. It was also contended
tiiat the season is becoming late for
any marked increase of Spring wheat
seeding Meanwhile world shipments
for the week were shown to be smaller
than for either the week previous or a
year ago, and European crop pros
pects were unsatisfactory, German
wheat, and rye in particular.

Summing Up

( c\ perience in investment mat-

absolute soundness.

sound policy is still faithfully followed.

COTTON VALUES UP
r
Opening Rise Meets Realizing, but
Prices Steady and Again
Turn Upward.
i _
* By (he Associated Press.
\ NEW YORK, April 9.—The cotton
) market opened firm today at an ad
~ vance of 24 to 36 points. July selling up
| to 19 63 and December to 19.12, or into
-i new high ground for the movement on
3 more or less general buying, stimulated
! by a bullish view of the official figures
on boll weevil survival.
The advance met considerable real
izing. and there were reactions of some
10 to 18 points after the call, but buying
continued and the market was steady at
the end of the first hour, active months
> showing net advances of about 24 to 28
* points.
Over-holiday weather reports showed
i some rain where needed in West Texas,
* but there were further rains in other
, sections accompanied by low tempera
tures, which were considered unfavor
. able.
j The Liverpool market will reopen for
. business tomorrow.
Realizing attracted by the opening
r advance was absorbed on the early re
, action and offerings became compara
l lively light. Reports of cold rains in
' other Western belt sections seemed
; more than to offset any indicated im
provement, in soil conditions in west
Texas. Reports pointing to an increased
’ use of fertilizers appeared to attract
* little attention. While less active the
market showed continued firmness with
‘ the active months selling 29 to 46 points
r net higher late in the forenoon. Prices
were within 2 or 3 points of the best at
f midday.
! BUYING POWER DROPS.
*
;
: Decline in Farmers’ Products Pulls
Down Purchasing Ability.
» Farm purchasing power again declined
* slightly last week. Although prices of
! hogs advanced, corn, beef and other
l agricultural goods produced by the
. farms declined with a net drop in the
\ agricultural price index.
t Non-agricultural goods, commodities
[ which farms must buy, also declined
slightly, but less than the decline in
, what the farmer sells.
Index numbers of farm purchasing
power and of agricultural and non
agricultural prices for various periods
are given in the following table in which I
the average for 1926 represents 100: I
