MUNT|0N SHARES STILL ON DECLINE
Trading Light and Narrow on Stock Exchange-Well
 Known Issues Decline

New York, March 2l.-In it's main as- poets today's market was largely q repe- tition of yesterdays session, althoush trading was lighter and more narrow After opening with general demonstrs- tion of strength, shares of munltloils cum panies and stocks associated with tnat oi- vision suffered material declines some oA the better known issues falling unoer yesterdays minimums.
 United States Steel also felt the force of the movement, duplicating the preceu- ing days low quotation of Sa,s attef ris- ing to s5N, but closing at S4ss. Betniehem Steel was again heavy on one sale wnich carried the stock down 15 to JCo and op- liberated much of it's rise of the previous week. Crucible Steel and the better known equipments were under heaviest pressure.
 Rails were relatively firm, with actual strength at times in New York Central anu the anthra cites, as well as Chesapeahe and Ohio, making favorable response to announcement of a new bond issue. Some active issues. as well as sugars recorded variable gains.
 Selling of the last hour lacked yester- days feverish character and support. rem dered in the final dealings resulted III partial recoveries, but the undertone a' the close was irregular and unsettled. Total sales amounted to 63S,ooo snares' oi which United States and Cruslpte eteel' American and Baldwin Locomotives, Mexican Petroleum and Mercantile Ma rinc preferred between an unusually large percentage.
 Foreign exchange was again feature of interest, the rate to Germany declin- ing to a new low record of 1li4, when implies a depreciation of over 70 per cent for marks at this center. Francs also were heavy but the concurrent frmness of sterling and a further brisk advance in Anglo-French war bonds, winch touched 951s, denoted general improvement fn international conditions as affecting London.

These large sales seemed to relieve the market of a considerable amount of pressure and while there still might be some little lots available at that level, the market gen. eraly showed a steadier undertone at the close with holders offering less aggres- sively. Closing prices were unchanged from last night with centrifugal quoted at 5.77c, molasses at 5c and Cubas. cost and freight, 4s4c.
 In refined sugar no changes were re- ported and fine granulated was quoted on the basis of 6.90c to 7c. There was very little business reported for domestic account, although there were still in- quiries in the market from exporters who seemed willing to pay 5.90c for New York, but refners ideals were about 10 points higher. Some sales were made for ex- port at 6c f. O.. b.

Hubbard Bros. & Co.'S Letter

New York, March 21.-( -(SpeciaL) )-In- dications of rain throughout the south west, followed by the government pre- dictions for rain in Texas and Okla- homa, brought about the decline today
 There were not so many rumors of an early peace, though the opinion was current that the south was justified in planting a large acreage in cotton if there was any foundation for the ru- mors which were current yesterday. The outside public hold the belief that on peace, cotton will advance. It is notice able that the interest is being trans ferred to the distant deliveries; the trade feels that the course or prices from now on will be determined by con- ditions bearing upon the new crop
 Liverpool evidently paid little atten- tion to the idea of an early peace as that market was weaker than due. Our cablegrams stated Manchester was not doing as much business as of late.

WHEAT PRICES ON
 DOWNWARD TREND
Increased European Supply and Condition of DOmes-
 tic Crop Cause Slump

Chicago, March 21-Wheat prices showed weakness today owing largely to a decided increase of the European avail able supply to reports of less favorable conditions for the domestic crop in the southwest The market closed heavy, Ac to ss@1ac net lower, with May at s1 .0s!sG L0s, and July at s1.07a@1 OTIS. Corn fin- ished 1sc to 14@Ssc up. Oats unchanged to lsc off and provisions with gains of 10 to 171a cents.
 Notice of the enlargement of European stocks of wheat was accompanied by pre- dictions that arrivals would continue lib- eral. The bearish effect which became apparent right al the outset empha sized by announcements of declines in freight rates on the ocean, especially from Ar Missouri told of fields greening up that were heretofore unpromising.
 Besides, the official forecast pointed to rains in Texas and Oklahoma, where there have been serious complaints of drouth. Later, however, signs of activity on the part of exporters helped to bring about a transient reaction, and so too did bull ish statements by leading crop author ity. who went on record with an op+rion that the domestic winter crop would start this measure under a material handicap. and that the abandoned acreage would be larger than in any year since 1912.
 Export sales of cash wheat in all posi- tions amounted to 100000 bushels, in- clGding 600,00o bushels to the government of Holland. Gossip that the Dutch gov- ernment was bidding for corn as well as wheat at the United States seaboard, tended to harden the market. Earlier In the session the bears had for a time made effective use of the circumstance that the stock of corn in Chicago amounted to more than 100000 bushels. Oats were governed chiefly by the action of whea t. There were predictions that the acreage Of oats this season would be largely in- creased by planting where wheat had been abandoned.
 Active foreign demand for lard gave strength to pork and ribs, which were also aided by high prices on hogs and cotton seed oil. The market, however, failed to hold the extreme advance

Ayery's Letter

The cotton market early in the ses- sion was narrow but remarkably steady, under selling on forecast for rain in Texas.
 Local scalpers attempted to work the market lower but had little to show for their efforts. They got July's to 12c in New Orleans several times, but it kept bobbing up again. until late in the session stocks took slide when the cotton bears tried another drive which worked July down to 11.9Sc.
 The market is all right. There is noth- ing to worry about on the long side and everything to worry over if one is short. Consumption is proceeding al a rate that will exhaust supplies be- fore the end of July American spin ners are sold far ahead, in some lines until 1917, and the crop in the western belt is not getting good start, and even should the western belt increase the acreage slightly it will all be needed And every day finds us near CT to the end of the war.
 Recommend confident buying of July's every time they break 1t below 12c.
