REG I.ST S.SNDUSKy, OHIO, SATURDAY, MARCH 21. 1941- Gen. Motors Still Climbs As Mart Closes Higher Number of adrftnces Numlfcr of declines unchanged Total Issues traded 1 FrI. 353 252 15ft 1-63 Thurs. 1B2 116 755 NEW YORK, March 40 stock market had to contend with preflt-tflking today, hut closed irregularly hlghftr, thanks largely to a late drive against the shorts In a few Issues.

ft was apparent that the flush given to speculation for the sd- by the mid-week steel news had paled and that professionals were willing: to on the rally. Thd market made an Impressive start under the -guidance ot the steel and chemlcaK lost Its zest when volume began, and then came back In the last hour as Hie bulls engineered a squeeze in Westlnghouse, Auburn and Stone Webster. Nevertheless, there was a sprinkling of smalt net losses in Important Issues. The day's turnover of 2,700,000 shares was 800,000 Smaller than Thursday's. General Motors eontlnued to reflect strong pool support and made another new high, rlRlng nearly a point net.

The advance in Westinghouse amounted to more than 4. Directors of that company meet for dividend action next week and the late run-ln of the shorts suggested a belief that tho 1.25 quarterly payment might be retained, Stone WebBter, up 3 was conspicuous among the utilities which on the whole were subjected to profit-taking. 8. Steel's best effort waa a fractional rise to a new top for the movement, attained in the forenoon. It tired thereafter and was off net at the close.

American Telephone lost a point, but American Can, Radio. American Smelting, Hudson Motors, Studebaker, General Electric, Sears Roebuck, Safeway Stores and American Water Works finished higher. The tone of the market was' improved substantially by the action of the rails, especially New York Central which held two-thirde of a rise. Baltimore A Ohio, Chicago North Western, Atchison, Union Pacific, Pennsylvania, New Haven and Koty gained under, tho stimulus of tho covering. Aviation shares were active and sp- Na- stronger, reflecting approval ot the first batch of new Government contracts.

Buoyant specialties included National Surely, up more than 3 at the ton; McKeenport Tin Plate. National Lead, TJ. fi. Frelcht and Drug, U. S.

Industrl.il Alcohol's break of several points was considered in relation to the proachlng dividend meeting, tlonal Cash Register sagged. The peg In slock exchange call money rates finally broke after holding for many weeks, and the charge for. new Joans was lowered to 1 per cent, the lowest since 1.115. circles explained that this was an aftermath of the accumulation for the Government financing and tax payments, although it was a rather -unusual In view of the fact that the Treasury called about $50,000,000 in deposits throughout tho country. Movements in wheat end corn wcro unusually narrow and both grains ended the day virtually unchanged.

Cotton lost 35 to 55 cents a hale lower. There was little variation In foreign currencies. Sterling, the French franc and the German mark were firm.

North American wheat exports had apparently come to a dead hnlt. British nilllers announced that hereafter United States Federal inspection certificates on wheat purchases would not be accepted. Argentine. Australian and Russian whent exports Increased heavily, and weather end crop reports in the United Ktates and Canada fe'ave promise of further piling up of fresh 1931 surplus supplies. BUylng resistance developed, however, after wheat prices reached new depths, and the mnrket closed with a rally, but Irregular, cent lower to cent higher than yesterday.

Corn finished 4 off to up, oats unchanged to i advance, and provisions 'unchanged to 20 down. On the downward swings, wheat touched as low as 612 cents a bushel July delivery, a bottom level, unmatched with one exception, as far back as July, when the market fell to 614 cents. September delivery also dropped to 618, outdoing low price records since Au- grust, 1895. Contributing to selling pressure were rain and snow south- West, West and northwest, relieving all apprehension in regard to drought conditions. Bears put special stress too, on the fact that Argentine, Aus- tralltn and Russian wheat shipments this week totaled 11,179,000 bushels, 8.400,000 more than at the corresponding time last year.

Although long-time records for low prices were broken by wheat, the maximum downturns were less than one cent a bushel, compared with yesterday's finish. The rallies which ensued were chiefly ascribed to purchasing by previous speculative sellers, who were in tt position to collect profits. Primary receipts of domestic wheat were again larger, totaling 1,209,000 bushels, compared with 925.000 a week ago, and 891,000 a year ago. Corn primary receipts also continued to exceed those of the previous week and of the last year. No explanation was at hand as to why British millers and merchants were refusing to accept United States Federal Inspection certificates on wheat purchases.

Corn and Oats were governed by wheat market changes. Increased arrivals of corn showed principally at Missouri shipping demand here waa indifferent. Provisions sympathized with Setbacks in hog values. Closing indemnities: Kept 681 fi 63. July 661.

Weekly bank clearings, $8,885,455,000, a decrease of 24.2 per cent from a year ago.

Outside of New York there waa a decrease of 23.5 per cent. Eradstreet's tomorrow will say: "The same deliberate growth in trade and industry previously noted continues as the spring season, according to the almanac, opens. At the same time confirmation comes from state and national sources of the earlier reported slight expansion in manufacturing activities In February, while the elapsed portion ot March has furnished evidence that a still more marked increase in em playment of both indoor and outdoor labor has occurred. Perhaps the most notable examples of this are furnished by the iron and steel and allied trades, such as automobiles and accessory manufacturing and in textile lines, staple cotton goods."

TRUCKS PASS SHIPPING OF LIVESTOCK Cleveland Producers Firm Receives 54 Per. Cent By Truck For Week. For the first time iu history the truck has held supremacy over the railroad car in delivering cooperative live stock to the Cleveland market.

This fact was revealed in ft statement by A. F. Potter, manager of the Producers Cooperative Association, the-farm cooperative operat Ing on that market. During the week ending March 14 truck shipments constituted 54 per cent of the receipts of the cooperative. "Eight years ago when the Producers Association began operations at Cleveland," Mr.

Potter said, "practically all stock arrived by rail. Tho preponderence of truck shipments this week was the direct response of a higher market. Government quotations were broadcast by the cooperative association dally to inform farmers of such raises and they, wishing to take advantage of the raise, hurried their stock to market by truck." He stated further, "These heavy truck shipments indicate the trend from rail to truck transportation and the Important place tho truck occupies In the field of cooperative marketing. The largest group of local shipping associations ever to be represented were Included In the week's receipts."

Second, that dairymen cull and kill al? unprofitable cows, and that they lncreaso the vealing of calves, and also that each dairyman helps toward reducing the surplus by cutting down his herd, doing away with one cow in ten. The third recommendation is that the family Of each dairyman in the country increase consumption by the equivalent Of one pound of butter per week, either by consuming more butter, milk or cream. This they, figure will not cost the dairymaft, anything as the reduced supply will be reflected in a higher price. If these recommendations could be carried into practice there can bo no doubt but what the dairyman ettu atton would straighten out In a month, but getting the dairyman to do these things is quite another mstter.

If a fraction ot the cows that are now unjvofitable were culled, there would bo a shortage of butter In a few weeks. Tt is not necessary to sacrifice any good cows in order to bring about good times again.
