12 CONFIDENCE IN UPWARD TREND SEEMS ABIDING Experienced Operators Know Recessions of Prices Must Come. Special to Indiana Daily Times and Philadelphia Public ledger. BY MONITOR. NEW YORK. May B. In spite nf more or less backing and filling In the last we-k. .veiitiiiient throughout the Street shows abiding confidence in the continu ance .>f the upward movement. A com posite of well informed operation might he expected about as follows: Reactions in the general list may expected after a period of heavy trading and rising prices .or upon the receipt of any un favorable surprise in news or develop ments attending this unsettled period of reconst ruci lon. Sharp setbacks may oc cur in groups of stocks or special Issues that have been over-bulled and thus in vite profit-taking, or where sudden dis appointment causes liquidation. Every experienced market operator, however, knows that recessions of this character are .ncidental to all upward movements. They an' welcome, except to the unwary or impetuo is who have been carried away by enthusiasm and mad© their heaviest commitments at the top. The health of the market can be preserved only by this continual process of churning and automatic liquidation. On the other hand, it is felt that there are no present indications of a major reversal in market form. For one thing, the money situation continues strongly . .orable to a continuance of the upward n orement. The downward tendency of c mnierclal paper rates Is construed as an indication of further ease and abun dance of money. Until a sharp advance and persistent hardening In the rates for commercial gives the signal that business is going to make its legitimate demand for funds, there will be no evi dence that the security markets will be subjected to the approach of stringency that generally means the culmination of the upward movement. In .ltion to this there is a dispo sition to go more deeply into the economic influences behind the strength in securities, thereby meaning the big forces which the market Is endeavoring to discount and express. The present bull market Is different from its most recent predecessor, that of 1919. In that ; year we witnessed the heyday of In flation and riotous consumption. The war was Just over and instead of de voting our capital to the repair of tie ravages, we found ourselves In the midst of an orgy of luxury buying. There was no limit to the demand for silk shirts, furs, diamonds and phonographs. Our plant equipment, our housing, our rail roads. all of which had deteriorated during the war. were left to shift for themselves. Production during the war had been developed only along special- 1 Ized lines—lines 111-suited to rehabilita tion or peace. The market was largely financed hy the sale of Liberty bonds ; which sank in price, while specialties and wild-cat oil shares soared. Notwithstanding the uneerfainiries re garding action on rates and wages, a feeling of optimism prevades the street | toward the railroad shares. Tue March earnings of the roads, approximating 6 per cent for the class 1 carriers, and the! belief that beneficial consolidations will be undertaken before the year is out. pro- j vide sound basis for encouragement. In spite of the strength and activity in certain of the oil shares, the popu larity of this group continues practically unabated. Refined products already have made some advance In price, and other rises are in prospe< t. perhaps the most encouraging feature of the whole situa tion is the increased demand for fuel oil. The decision of the Chicago A North western to convert its locomotives into oil burners is merely an indication of present industrial tendencies. Fuel oil has been more or less of a drug on the market owing to the lessened demand by shipping, and stocks until recently have piled up to an extent that made the etorage of crude a troublesome problem A great many stationary plants are con verting from coal to fuel oil and the de mand for this product has grown con siderably in the last few weeks. It is believed that it is only a question of a short time before crude prices are marked up substantially. The position of staple commodities is improving. Copj*er is firm and wool mar kets have been very strong. Sales at Bos ton apparently have been limited chiefly by the reduced stocks on which business has been based. The leading interest In the wooden industry has made unofher advance In the price of its products. Cot ton is stronger, partly on account of re ports of crop damage, although the underlying factor of demand is a much more important element. The Department of Commerce this week called attention to the fact that world consumption of cot ton had arrived practically at the pre war level with an indicated absorption for the current year of about 21.000.000 bales. This includes all kinds of cotton and compares with the consumption last year of approximat ly 10.000.000 bales. There are strong Indications that fully 85.W10.000 belts of American cotton will be requited for the season, beginning Aug. 1 this year, and w ith the Indifferent start of the crop as the result of floods lu Mississippi valley and Texas consum ing manufacturers are showing consid erable anxiety over the source of their supply of raw material. In financial circles here the backing snd fi’Mng at Genoa has been accepted as a mai’c- of course. Economic progress has been retarded by political bickering, but the urgent needs of Europe, it is felt, will force a composition of differ ences and permit the program of re babilitation to be carried out. Flurries of anxiety are to be expected, but the ten dency is unmistakably toward a restora tion of industry and credit. The rise In sterling to anew high level since 1919 of $4.45, probably furnishes the best barometer of European progress. The strength in the pound, of course, is due to something besides British confi dence In ultimate European stability. It is based partly on sound fiscal adminis tration. moderate imports, increasing ex ports. and an improving trade balance. Nevertheless Its recovery would not have been possible had there been expectation European chaos. In the Cotton Market NEW YORK, May B.—lnfluenced by strung cables from Liverpool, heavy spot sales, a better textile labor outlook in this country and unfavorable advices, tbs local cotton market was firm at the open ing today at an advance of 13 to 40 point*. The upturn was well maintained later in the face of heavy realizing through eommissoiu houses and selling by 6pot concerns.

(By Thomson & McKinnon.) —May 8 There were several alternating periods of weakness and strength in today's stock market, lint the general temlehcy in the industrial list was reactionary, and a few siiecialties were distinctly weak. uails field fairly well and a few issue were strong. Rails, as a group, showed mere stability than the other depart ments. Sentiment is still favorable to the mar ket. There Is a substantial public feel ing, and every moderate recession is fol lowed by an increasing demand from commission houses. The market shows distinct irregularity. It is becoming two sided, and the selling is more aggressive than heretofore. These conditions undoubtedly result from the technical position of the mar ket as there can be little doubt but that the public account has been enlarged to such an extent ns to almost warrant the term "over extension.” .... With this advantage, we have an easy banking situation. There are no such hanking problems before us as we had a few years ago. The tenderer of business now is to ward improvement, where two years ago If was toward contraction. But making full allowance for these favorable points, the fact remains that the advance has, to a very great extent, if not entirely, discounted this and is therefore In a less favored position to meet unfavorable development s. We feel that we have rear 1 and a point where conservatism is calle* for and there is ample justification for the gradual marketing of long stocks. TWENTY STOCKS AVERAGE.

There was an extreme top of sll.lO on some choice light swine, while the bulk of the lights brought sll. The bulk of the sales for the day ranged at slo.9o®Ft, and the range of the sales for the day was $10.75® 11.10. Trading was active during the early forenoon hours, and practically all ot the receipts had been sold before the close of the forenoon. Both shippers and packers took their usual quotas. There was a rather slow demand for cattle, and prices were weak to 10fti25c lower. Receipts were rather large at 1.200, and this factor offset the strength ening effect that the good quality of stuff offered otherwise would have had. There were a few early sales of cows and heifers at steady prices, but the de mands were soon supplied anil prices weakened. Very few cattle moved at these prices. Steers were in rather poor demand and were weak to 25c lower. Bulls were in fair demand, due to the Jim ited supply, but buyers were reluctant in taking them unless they could be bought at lower prices. They were weak to 25c lower in spots. Even canners and cutters were in porn demand. Prices, however, were about i teady. Veal prices were steady during the first few minutes of trading, but after that (he demand lagged and prices dropped. Closing prices were around 500 lower than the close of last Saturday's market. Receipts ran close to 600 for the day. The shipping demand was poor. With around 100 sheep and lambs on the market, prices were about steady for the quality of stuff offered. There were no good sheep nor lambs on tin* market. The bulk of the receipts were clipped ewes of poor grades.

GRAINS DISPLAY LATE STRENGTH Development of Export De mand Chief Market Factor. CHICAGO, May B.—Grain prices were strong at the close of the Chicago Board of Trade today after being weak during most of the trading session. A fairly good demand by exporters de veloped for corn and oats and caused those grains to show some strength. During the last few minutes of trading wheat rallied on short coverings. There was a sharp decrease in the visi ble supply of corn. Provisions were irregular. ■•Wheat. May opened off %e at $1.37. and closed Unchanged. July wheat opened off V4c at $1.23%, and dosed up %c. Sept, wheat opened unchanged at sl.l7‘a> and closed up %c. May corn opened at. Ole; unchanged, and closed up %e. July corn opened at 01 Vi. unchanged, and closed up Vic. September corn opened 60%c off %e, and closed up Vic. May oats opened at 37c off %c and closed up %e. July oats opened 39%c, off %c and closed unchanged. Septem ber oats opened unchanged at 49%c, and closed Unchanged. (By Thomson A McKinnon.) —May B. Wheal World shipments of wheat and tlie amount on passage today showed a considerable decrease from previous tig ures. Despite this, the English markets are bare of demand ami parcels of Mani toba.# and Plates are offered freely. The immediate domestic situation still argues for lower prices in that the visible de creases are insignificant, while the south western markets continue shipping to Chicago in goodly volume. The demand for cash wheat here is a little slow, for the reason that elevator space is becom ing crowded. The market is beginning to resist anticipation of lower prices, for the reason that it has underlying i f the probability of a general foreign absorp tion of the growing crop. There will likely be an unimportant market tomor row. Everyone will be awaiting the Gov ernment report, which will issue at 2:15 p. m., Chicago time. Corn and oats —The visible supply of both corn and oats continues to decrease, and the daily receipts are lu good de mand at firm premiums. General rains are predieted which will further delay spring work. The seaboard says there is a good inquiry and some business from abroad, particularly where heavy oats can be secured. You will note that values are holding relatively steady without any particular ileni of news and even when wheat is declining. This lends to the as sumption 1 hat any change in the char acter of the news might advance prices. Provisions Realizing saMs appeared in the early lard market, but encountered a demand which had the appearance of larger packers. Receipts of hogs at western points were in excess of last year, but the market here was quite strong. CHICAGO GRAIN TABLE. May 8— WHEAT— Open. High. Low. (lose.
