Heaviness of certain Issues, notably Baldwin Locomotive, General Motors, Allied Chemical, South Porto Rico Sugar, and several equipments was directly traceable to poor earnings, pressing financial needs and reduced dividends. Some of the oil issues recorded fur ther recessions on additional price cuts, while food shares improved moderately as schedules for refined products were revised upward. Steels nnd kindred shares had their periods of comparative strength but the weekly reviews again emphasised the detached attitude of consumers to ward prevailing prices and referred to the likelihood of further curtailmest of production. Average prices were at highest lev els in the Inst hour, call money rates then falling from seven to six per cent and provoking the usual short cover ing. Seasoned rails, notably North ern Pacific and Great Northern as well as motors and steels, were most prominent, a firm tone ruling at the close. Sales 555.000 shares. Dealers reported a fair degree of activity in foreign exchange, all lead ing remittances enhancing recent gains.

The exception was during a brief early period and was due to a dispatch from an expert saying the country around Paris, Tex as, was alive with green bugs. The general tenor of crop reports from the winter wheat belt as a whole appeared, however, to indicate actual damage as yet was small, and It was contend ed that although the prevailing abnor mal mild weather justified apprehen sion of a disastrous amount of injury from the green bug pest had but sel dom taken nlace. Many of today's tinned their action on knowl edge that no radical harm had been done by the green bugs since isi. The loss then was roughly 61.000,000 bushels of wheat and 40,000,000 Dusn Corn and oats sympathized with .hoot hut also disnlaved notable pow er of resistance owing more or less to export sales of 500.000 bushels or corn.
