EARLY WHEAT ADVANCE
YIELDS TO PROFIT-TAKING
Setback That Follows Bulge at Open
ing Charged to Domestic
Weather Conditions.

CHICAGO. March 3l.-Speculative
selling today wiped out an early ad-
vance In the price of wheat. Higher
quotations at Liverpool were chiefly
responsible for the bulge. The set
back that ensued was Influenced some
what by favorable weather over the
domestic winter crop belt.
Opening prices. which ranged from
Is to IA higher. were followed in some
cases by a decline to below last night g
level.
Corn Lacks Support.
Corn suffered from lack of support.
Several big houses were conspicuous
on the selling side. After opening un-
changed to 4 off the market continued
to sag.
Better weather eased oats. The bulk
of the business, though. was between
floor traders
Scarcity OF. buying orders made pro
visions weak. Lard especially was
being pressed for sale.
Increased wheat heaviness developed
later, owing to the apparent absence
of any important fresh export trans
actions. The close was weak at IN
to Ia under last night.
Slackness OF cash demand from the
east had a discouraging effect on corn
holders. The close was weak at Is to

STOCK MARKET BREAKS
LATE ACTIVE RECORDS
Sales Exceed 4oo, 900 Shares in First
Two Hours, But Trading Falls
OFF in Afternoon.

NEW YORK, March 31.-All records
for activity on the stock exchange
since the closing days of last July
when the local market was in a state
of decentralization because Of the Eu-
ropean situation, were broken today
In the first two hours, or up to noon
sales of stocks exceeded 100000 shares
In the afternoon. however, trading
fell away perceptibly.
In keeping with it's recent course a
very large proportion of the early
business was in special stocks. particu-
larly automobile issues and other spe
cialties which have profited more or
less by war contracts These showed
further gains of 3 to points.
Most Leaders Inactive.
United States Steel was the only
speculative favorite to show more than
a moderate amount of trading. other
former leaders like the dividend pay
ing railroad shares being comparative
ly inactive.
very considerable part Of the buy
ing orders was placed by commi ssion
houses. indicating that much of the de-
mand came from out-of-town sources.
The main impulses back of the con-
tfnued advance were the increa sing
growth of the country's foreign trade
to phenomenal proportions and the
ease of money.
