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. Shares of those copper com
panies (hat can produce the metal
under 10 "onls a pound were in de
inand, as were ihe standard silver is-
New York Cotton Letter.
(I5y W. ill. HIUiJN & Co.
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.
