Corn acts heavy and Is undoubtedly over

public stocks accommodating rapidly. The
best opinions assert that cash values must

Wheat weakened again today, after a
firm opening. Liquidation was continued
and holders OF long wheat were anxious
sellers throughout the session. There was
little or no buying support out to check the
decline.
The corn market sagged again. selling
was general and cash prices dropped Off

LONDON, March A-Money was in good
demand at hardening rates today. Dis
count rates were distinctly firmer on the
gold exports and the continental demand
for the metal. The stock market opened
firm with marked strength and activity
in RhOdesian mines and good investment
buying la consols, home rails and foreign
bonds. Later offerings OF foreign rails
and rubber shares ave the market an ir-
regular appearance. American securities
were irregular during the early session,
fears OF strikes causing realizatiOns. In
the afternoon Wall street bidding hardened
values. especially A~malgamated Copper and
United States Steel. Scattered offerings In
the late trade caused an uncertain close.

change as compared with receipts for the
same days last week. but IL about 1900
head less than the number received during
