CORN FINISHES
 HEAVY AT DECLINE
Argentina Corn Puts Un. mistakable Pressure on
 All Kinds of Grain

Chicago, March sO-Argentina corn to- day put unmistakeable pressure on all kinds of grain. Largely in consequence future deliveries of corn here finished somewhat heavy at a decline of 3s@i5c to 1sc for the day. Wheat showed net loss of isdi1c. and oats were unchanged to ssds4c down. In provisions, the outcome varied from last nights level to an ad- vance of 5c.
 It was apparent that the edge was off the corn market, at least for the time be- ing. Notwithstanding that rain still threatened the full success of the Argen- tina harvest offerings from Argentina were said to have greatly increased, and there were reports that nearly million bushels of Argentina corn had been bought in 24 hours foNthe United States.
 Simultaneously Missouri river dealers sent word that overnight sales to feeders had suddenly fallen off, and advices from the east said cash buyers in that direc- ton were not following the previous day 8 upturn. ee
 Longs rushed the corn pit with sales to realize profits. After the ensuing break some of the hardier spectators began to reinstate their lines, and there was good deal of covering by shorts. Rallying prices. however, brought on a renewal of the selling, and. left the mar ket in the end at almost the lowest point of the season.
 Although depressed in sympathy with corn, wheat displayed comparative strength much of the day. Crop news was for favorable weather everywhere, but was offset by export business at New York.
 Oats had no independent action and gave way to the setback in other grain. Buying on the part of the packers up held provisions. Higher prices for hogs seemed to be sufficient reason. (1Oqinfr fo1

 Was Received in 1925

Montgomery. March @.-tSpecial) The Peter Forney chapter, D. A. R.. of Montgomery will place and dedicate a tablet in Capitol Hill school on April 8 in honor of the reception on that spot of Lafayette in 1925. The school build :. ing in which the exercises will be held is on Capitol Hill, and occupies the site, as nearly as can be ascertained, on which Lafayette was. publicly received when he visited Montgomery.
 At the time of the distinguished Frenchman's visit the capitol of the state was then at Cahaba. and Gov. Israel Pickens came to Montgomery to assist in entertaining the city's guest.
 The governor of Alabama will deliver an address on the occasion of the ex- ercises at Capitol Hill school, and Mrs. J. M Wiley of the Peter Forney chap ter, D. A. R., will speak on certain local features in connection with La- fayette's visit to Montgomery.

BUYING WAVE IN
 COTTON MARKET
Follow Census Report Fig
 urges Trading Months 13 to Is Points Higher

New orleans, March 20.-The census bureau count of the cro pof 13.9s4,- eS1 bales caused q buying wave in the cotton market today. which put the trading months 13 to IS points over yesterdays close. At the strongest pe- riods profit taking from the long side held prices down. The close was at a net gain for the day of toa5 points.
 only buliish traders looked for cot ton production of under 14.000,0o bales and the consequence was that not only was buying of contracts stimulated but the spot market acquired a firm tone and rose tsc
 Weather conditions in the western were called extremely unfavorable. chiefly because of the cold weather prevailing there and private telegrams said that considerable would be nec- essary in the early sections. This in- creased the disposition to but espe- cially new crop months.

RAILROAD SHARES s MOST CONSPICUOUS
American Stocks Depressed in London-GOOd Bank
 Statement Expected

New York, March 20.-An advance which began in the eastern railroad stocks to- day ultimately extended through the market, which showed material improve ment at the close. Railroad shares were most conspicuous in the days dealings, and their strength was associated with intima tions from Washington that the administration favored an advance Tn freight rates for the eastern lines. Spec ulative opinion for some time has inclined to the belief that the railroads would ob- tain, part if not all, of the per cent in crease sought. Industrial stocks held back for a time, but at last joined in the upturn, although their gains as whole were less important.
 The market was slow in getting under way, chiefly In account of renewed pres- sure from abroad. American stocks were depressed in London, and there were free offerings here for foreign account. This selling failed to depress the market, but the greater part of the advance was de- layed until the latter part of the day, after foreign liquidation had ceased. Steel Jagged behind, but in the end it made good showing. Coppers were helped by expansion of the export move ment of the metal and a reported in- crease in domestic consumption.
 Prospects were for another good bank statement. The weeks known moye- ments of currency called for a cash gain of $3,0O0,000 or more. The time money 1ates showed an easier tendency.

Weekly Cotton Statistics

New York, March 0-The feature in the cotton market during the past week has been. the continued nervousness of old crop shorts, whose covering has forced May contracts up to 12.25c or 72 points above the low records estab- lished earlier in the month.
 This advance has been most generally attributed by local traders to a revision Of opinion as to the relative values of New York and Liverpool contracts. and much of the demand is supposed to have come from straddle interests who were short of May and July in New York, against purchases In the English mar ket.
 About two weeks ago May here was selling 14O points under Liverpool. but since the covering movement started, the difference has steadily narrowed. and this morning amounted to about 11O points. ! The strictness of the inspection bureau
