Market Irregular at Start, but
E Later Gains Strength.
I NEW YORK, April 22. —The bear drive
was started on the stock exchange
yesterday was resumed during the sec
ond hoar of trading today. The_ entire
industrial list was forced below Wednes
day’s low. United States Steel sold at
96%, compared with the high for 1020 of
109; Crucible, 224; Mexican Petroleum,
170.
United States Steel opened at 98%, un
changed ; Sinclair, 35, off %. Baldwin,
lid, up 1.
The market this morning did not know
exactly what struck it yesterday and
there was nd adequate explanation of
fered. In general. It was said that the
strained credit situation throughout the
world was affecting the stock and com
modity markets. Money rates were com
paratively easy and bankers could not
explain the exact cause of the selling
wave. '
In a general way the financial situation
in Japan, which has heavy balances in
the United States and Great Britain, is
believed to have affected American finan
cial interests, but bankers assert there
Is nothing In that situation to create
any particular alarm in this country.
The market absorbed overnight soiling
orders in fairly good shape. Steel com
mon, after opening unchanged first,
dappped % to BS%, but later went below
While some excellent buying came into
the market late Wednesday and was con
tinned this morning, there was enough
of forced selling during tile first hour to
hold prices down.
Much of this itfl'ing was said to have
come from wire nouses with western eon
ae lions.
The cotton market, which was under
heavy drive late ’>V;i’.n*M<l.iy, but which
recovered slightly before* the close, so.d
off again today.
Liberty bonds were off again and
showed no rallying power. Sales of
stocks to noon were 1.075,600 shares.
Bond sales were $13,281,000.
About 11.30, however, the market
turned sharply and advances of from
1% to 6 points were scored by active
stocks. This advance continued into
the third hour. General Motors soli up
to 290. or 17 points higher than the low
of yesterday. Call money was available
in reasonable quantities at 7 per celt
Foreign exchange was easier.
There was a rumor in the foreign ex
change market that Japan is disposing
Os some sterling bills in the New York
market in connection with her financial
crisis, which accounted for the decline in
sterling.
The recovery of the market was aided
by favorable financial statement from tile
Bethlehem Steel Company, which an
nounced today earnings for the first quar
ter ware at the rate of S3O a share an
nually for common stock.
It was stated In Wall street and car
ried on the Wall street tickers that bear
ish literature had been circulated
throughout the country since the market
close last week and as a result stock that
had been put away in safe deposit vaults
was taken out and thrown into the mar
ket late yesterday and during the bear
drive early today.
In some Instances shorts had great
difficulty in getting stocks for covering
purposes. Crucible suddenly ran from
230 to 242%. At the latter price. It was
up 18% points from the Sow of the morn
ing. There lias been talk in Wall street
that a trap was being laid for the short
interest in this stock.
It was also current on Wall street that
a big bull pool had been formed In Sin
clair and that alarge short interest ex
ists in this stock.
Under urgent short covering the stock
fcjn rket. recovered strength and closed
higher than it opened in
many issues.
During the final hour Renlogle Steel
and General Motors were the market
features, Replogle gaining nearly 20
points over the low of the day and Gen
eral oMtors gaining 25 over the low of
the day.
Closing prices were: United Statw
Steel, 9S T *.’ up 1%; Replogle. 76. up 9;
Baldwin. 118%, up 3%; Pan-American.
up -V: General Motors. 295, up 20:
Reading, 78%, uj> 1%; Crucible. 241. u%
9; Republic Steel. 100, up % : Mexican
Petroleum. 17.%, off 2; Studebaker, 109-4,
up 2; Vanadium. 81. up 7.
The total sales were 1.927.300 shares.
Th weakest point in the market was
during the tirst two hours, when a
drive forced prii-es for many shares b**-
low Wedensday’s close. • '

Receipts, 10,000; market, 75c<g$l lower.
In sporting parlance the hog market
was knocked for a goal.
Liberal receipts were the prime factor,,
although outside markets, acting In sym
pathy with the sudden drop in stocks
and grains, failed to show any buoyant
trend In prices.
Few hogs sold early at $16.25 to out
side order buyers, but local packers paid
sl6 down for the porkers they bought.
The schedule of prices as finally es
tablished gave hogs weighing from 160
to 200 pounds sl6; 200 to 225. $15.75:
225 to 250, $15.50; 250 to 300, sls, and
over 300, $14.50 down, according to
quality.
Sows sold 75c lower, with the bulk
of sales nt $12.25012.50.
Pigs were $1 lower, with the bulk of
sales at $14:50015, although a few strong
weights brought $15.25.
Cattle.
Receipts, 900; market, generally 25@50c
lower.
Lower outside market and feeling
among buyers that prices are too strong
resulted In sales generally 25@50c lower.
Cows were steady to strong in spots,
but this was caused by lack, of receipts
of good butcher stuff in proportion to
other Classes of cattle in the market.
Bulls were another section of the mar
ket that resisted any pressure in prices,
and were considered fully steady If not
a shade stronger.
Heifers and steers were fully 25@50c
lower, with some salesmen inclined to
think 50c nearer the general average
of the day’s decline.
Bunch of light heifers sold at sl2 that
salesmen say would have easily brought
$12.50 the day previous.
Some fancy yearling heifers weighing
around 700 lbs brought $13.50 and some
others around 800 lbs sold at $14.25. but
these were prime baby beef stuff that
should no tbe taken as a criterion of
the trend of prices for the general run
of cattle of the same weights.
Calves.
Receipts. 1.100; market opened $1®1.50
lower; closed $1.50®2 lower.
The eastern markets are said to be
flooded with calves and prices there have
broken sharply.
This was reflected in the local market
when buyers for outside eastern accounts
refused to look at calves on a scale with
prices prevailing the day before.
LlKral receipts were against the sales
men and they were forced to accept con
cessions.
Choice veals sold at sl7: good. $15016;
medium. $12014. and the light. $9011.50.
Toward the close, when all buyers were
apparently loaded up. there were still
calves left, and closing bids, for these
were decidedly lower, sl6 being offered
for top veals.
Sheep.
Receipts. 50; market steady.
Bunch of western fed lambs sold at
18c and some sheep at 74c. which were
considered steady prices, quality con
sidered.
