THE GRAIN MARKETS.

Buy-AlI Grains Rally.

A sudden reversal in the undertone Of
the wheat list yesterday took the trade
Dy surprise. During the early dealings
, there was peroeptibie weakness, many
. stop loss orders having been reached
Tor weak speculative holders. Other Or
ders OF this character were said to have
rested within striking distance. In some
quarters II was predicted that a great
wave or public liquidation was imminent,
as II was being realized that the coun-
, tries competing with the United States
had about 200.000,00O bushels more
wheat to sell during the next few
months than were available a year ago.
But a revival Of the bull support un-
der the leadership OF Bartlett, Frazier
Co, stimulated quite a little scat
tered absorption, which was further In
duced by the export situation and tho
strength Of spring wheat. Tho markets
rallied three 20 four cents a bushel
Northwestern advices were OF a d!minu-
ton In the country offerings and OF

CUSTOMS DECISIONS.

I'll. question d. to when an appraiser
report IL evidence under the tarln act of
1919 Is covered In "a decision OF general
interest banded down yesterday by the
Board Of United States Genera. Appraisers.
In this ruling Judge brown writes:
Under III" a. ot 1919 the fac's rccitsd
Collector In ms certificate 10 the hoard,
must be taken as true In tn" absenc" Of
other evidence, even II such appraisers

This question arose In a test case brought
before the board by the customs law arm

this report wa, dated NOR" ihan thirty
days after the receipt Of IA, protest. tho
question came up as to whether or not the
board could. under the law accept this
report a. evidence, Judge Brown after
reviewing at great length previous rulings,
customs regulations, Congressional intent,
&C. says
I'VE hold that the appraisers report is
evidence In the case before us, and, in the
absence of other evidence the facts therein
control The classification, and We proceed
to decision on the merits of the case"
In previous tarin acts II has alWsyH been
held that II IN" appraisers report hap
pened to b" hl,d after said thirty days
II became waste paper and OF no force

law ~ OF great interest 10 importers and

The question OF the degree OF gem
erosity that should be displayed by the
directors OF a concern with the informa- =
ton at their disposal has always been
a vexed one. The stockholders ~ the
United States Smelling and Refining
Company seem to have little cause for
complaint regarding the character OF a
recent statement made by their direc-
tors This statement. issued December
2s last, ''by order of the board OF di-
rectors." was to the effect that the
company earned surplus in the year
1915 OF sl2 on the common shares or
- per cent. Last quarter the earnings
were at the rate OF over 30 per cent,
or s25 "A share exclusive of profits from
the zinc production The statement
concluded AS follows:
"The directors believe that the stock
holders should be informed that 'he
possibilities appear ST. large that with
a further continuance OF these develop
ments il is possible that "a new standard
- value may he made for the common
stock"

GOSSIP OF WALL STREET.
steel ana Other stocks,

again there was no weakness in the
STOCK market corresponding to what ap-
peared to be Washington's interpreta-
lion or the relations between this coun-
try and the Teutonic Powers. There was
no attempt to explain this apparent i'm
munity OF the market to fright on this
score except on the ground that there
had been so many other "crises" OF the
Kind that a threatened breaking of Of
relations had become u played out fac
tor Nevertheless. to the rank and file Of
professionals the nrmness of the mar
ket was inexplicable and II was described
variously as 'unnaturaily strong" "sus-
piciously strong" "hctitiously strong"
and "uncannily strong" There was again
rather free selling Of stock but this was
taken well on the whole. No weakness
developed except In few specialties
and In some quarters. including the
standard rails. good advances were
made. There was one distinctly heavy
spot and that was Steel. The heavi-
ness here was comforting to those out
Of favor with the market and discon-
certng to the bulls. II was all the
more remarked because the decline oc-
curved In the face OF quite optimistic
talk on the Street. The tonnage state
ment is due at the opening Of next week
and the long expected dividend meeting
toward the close OF the month.

SOFT COalers.

The railroad list has done better than
the industrials. This week the average
price Of the rails has gone into new
ground. This development is not alto
gether surprising in view Of the brilliant
showing ot earnings that has been made
From an investment point Of view the
railroad future 10 also beginning to
brighten. The appointment Of new
commission to investigate the trans
portation Industry Is a definite step in
the right direction that is not being
overlooked. Strong features yesterday
were the soft coal shares. Chesapeake
and Ohio was heavily bought and made
u new high mark for the year, which
was also within couple OF points OF
the high Of 1914. made in January Of
that year.
Norfolk and Western equalled its high
mark made last month. There has been
quiet accumulate OF both of these
stocks for some time by strong people.
Specific reason for the strength Of soft
coal stocks is at hand. But in the case
OF Chesapeake an underlying cause is
the fact that the road is now showing
the effects Of building up process
under the supervision Of interests which
were not concerned with the Immediate
course Of the market for the stock.
