Wilmington St. THE TIMES' DAILY FINANCIAL STORY (By T. C. S!i,.tw.ll.) New York, April 2 S Wall 'street showed its appreciation of the good quarterly statement of earnings is- j sued by the United Slates Steel Cor- poral ion with a slronpt- and active ; stock market today. Naturally the shares of the trust were at the head of the advancing column, with Union Pacific, Reading,-' and other standard , railroad issues sharing in the strength. During the early trading advances of 'from one to two points-'-were re corded. Another factor that inspired strength was the announcement by Jones and La-ughlin, the largest inde pendent steel company In the United States, that "they had .advanced'' the price of plates and liars. Wabash preferred was active and strong. Rock Island shares and Bal timore & Ohio also showed advances. Traction shares were higher, although not very active. On the New York curb market trading was dull, but prices were steady.

New York, April 28 The market was again irregular and unsettled to day with erratic fluctuations. Prices opened 4 to 8 points higher on the early better Liverpool markets than had been expecred. This carried May up to 10.55, July 10.44, October 10.20 and January 10.18, But fur ther .good rains in southwest Texas, where most needed and clear and favorable weather in the Atlantic and gulf states- -induced puch extensive realizing that the market soon lost this. Later prices declined 6 to 10 points below yesterday's on Liver pool's sharp reaction and withdraw al of bull . support. At that level there was enough new buying and fresh support to prevent any further decline and a steadier tone prevailed during the late afternoon. The Gal veston weather bureau reported threo Inches rain in the Cuero district and half an inch at Brownville and San Antonio and good showers at about ten other places. The drouth in that state has been relieved by these con ditions but further good rains all over the state' would still be benefi cial. As the situation and outlook stands today it is still largely a weather market. C'.ear weather In the Atlan tic and gulf states with further rains In Texas would Improve crop outlook so much that it would have a bear ish Influence and induce further profit-taking an cause a further set back to prices. On the other hand, should rain set In throughout "east ern half of tho belt with dry weather In Texas the advance would bo re sumed as cotton is still cheap com pared with all other commodltlcs and sentiment Is more favorable to bull ish activity just now among tho spec ulative element that otherwise.
