Strong Opening Subjected to Vicious Selling
New York markets opened briskly with initial gains of 1 to 2 points, then drifted, with 1 to 3 point moves before noon and uneven recoveries by close. Steel led turns, government bonds fluctuated, and broad turnover topped 9.25 million dollars value. reports noted European imports, postwar concerns, and tobacco sector cash needs tied to dividends in scrip.
Price Changes Come Rapidly in Corn Market
The New York corn market showed feverish price moves with July futures up then down sharply. The contending factors included potential seed corn scarcity amid cool planting weather, expectations of warmer temperatures, and large farm supplies pressuring prices. Oats were heavy with easy cash, while exporters showed little interest and the best cash bid for corn was 9c over Chicago May. The new crop outlook remained strong, potentially undermining values. Obituary notices follow for Callahan, Tompkins, Epagan, Marshall with funeral details and dates.
