Bonds Irregular By Associated Press. NEW YORK, May 13.— The runaway wheat market caused a monpntary set back to stocks today, prices yielding most of the opening gains In the course of the first hour. The market gathered force, hut the volume of business fell away to almost nothing. Speculative Interests seemed to be almost wholly diverted on the stock market for the The strong undertone In eplto of this total neglect was very notable. Some special effect was produced on Atchi son by the excited rise In wheat and Canadian Pacific's decline seems to re flect uneasiness over tho hnekwnrrt seeding season in the Canadian north west. Elsewhere the Influence of the wheat price movement was confined mostly to a wiping out of the early ad- Va Tho S 'top level of prices was touched after the sensational opening auota tlons for wheat were received. Jn o sentiment of the securities market seemed to be to attnch confkleraWo weight to the ™ n t rlbutln ,3, t V au3 / !B f£! the strength in wheat in addition to the present condition of the western wheat "Damage to foreign crops Is given its part In the strength of wheat and In making better prices for our own crop. The largest reserves In farmers hands, according to the government statistics gives promise of handsome profits to offset deficiencies of this years crop The argument was heard also that tne cry of dollar wheat' which swept the market today will stimulate by every effort to Increase the sale of spring wheat There Is nonic skepticism felt over the reports of crop damage as to the extent of the harm done. The undertone of strength In tne stock market, however, was due to an important extent to sympathy with the strength in Union Pacific. That stocks rising tendency is variously attributed to tho better opinion of the financial plan announced last week, or to in some support to hold up the price of the stock and also add to the attrac tiveness of the offer of convertible bonds. Beading was a seconding in fluence to the sustaining effect or Union Pacific. Covering operations by an outstand ing short interest were given credit for the rise in that stock. American Smelting showed some depression owing to rumors denying former re ports that the dividend rate on the stock was to be advanced. United States Steel also was heavy. The controversy over defective steel rails started by the Southern Pacific authorities was a decided advantage to the United States Steel stocks. Money markets were quotably firmer abroad and the firm tone was maintained here also. Paris was again buying gold In the London market and took $1,250,000 of the $3,000,000 In spite of the advance in Bank of England's bid for the supply. A withdrawal of over a million dol lars from the Bank of England also went to France. Money markets are reflecting to some extent the expecta tion of further large borrowings, es pecially by American railroads. The Increasing premium on New York ex change at Chicago indicates the prog ress of remittances from that center. Union Pacific and Reading were the principal features In the strong close. Bonds were irregular. Total sales, par value, $1,136,000. United States bonds were unchanged on call. New York Stocks By Associated Press. NEW YORK.
