were the worst that have made an Gppea1ncs

claimed thAt Barton, Pswnee, Edwards. Ford and
Gray counties will not average five bushels per
acre and that loss Of 400 90 acres win Be SUI
fered in the State Of Kansas.
Another m5ssage referred TO the dry soil along
the Santa Fe rad, q the terrific dust storm ez-
perirnced and Of farmers plowiug up wheat fields
many sections. It said much Of the scTeNSs IN
Kansas and Nebraska will be abandoned because of
winter killing and lack q moisture
There was a further decrease Of 81 600 bushels
in the visible supply Of wheat in the United States
the total now being reduced to figure Of 10 100 on
bushels smaller than at this time lAt year With

(By the International News serviee.)
New York. March 26.-Left without spe-
cific news Of Importance on which to ease
any market movement, Wall Street sold
stocks freely today with the result that
material net declines were recorded at
the end OF the day in nearly all active
issues. In the morning. a few special
ties were extremely active and strong.
one or two actually making new high
records. These, however, reacted with
the others In the afternoon. Steel was
the leader throughout the day. both In
the morning advance and the afternoon
retreat. The Marines. munitions, the
rails all moved together.
Wall Street has not yet decided ex-
acty what the effect will be on the stock
market of the vast bond issues that must
come with war. Much attention was paid
today to a sale of United States 4s al
l07a. which is IA per cent under the last
sale. This puts the bonds on a Si2 per
cent income basis in the face OF what
the government is planning to sell on
the per cent basis. Bankers who for
many years have dep!ored the artificial
prices OF United States government bonds
are curious to see what will happen with
the government bonds in open competi-
ton on a basis of merit with industrial
and railroad bonds.

TRADING FEATURELESS
ON LOCAL EXCHANGE
American Graphophone Rights Alone
Displays Any Activity.

Trading on the local exchange yester-
day was pactically featureless. The only
security in which there was any activity
was American Graphophone rights, which
sold a total OF 100 shares at 8. This was
the bid for more at the close, when the
asking price was S1-4.
Six shares of Washington Gas changed
hands at 70 1-2 and eleven shares of
Capital Traction stock brought So. The
only bond transaction Of the day was the
sale of $1,000 Washington Railway IS at
so 5-s The closing figures for this Sc
curity were 80 IA bid and 30 3-4 asked.
Late dispatches from the New York
exchange to local brokers yesterday in
dicated that while there was hardly any
thing of controlling nature in the day $
news budget there, still the report re-
cetved that the German chancellor would
on Thursday make a speech which Is
likely to be construed as an offer of
separate peace with Russia, had the in
huence OF causing quite a little specula-
tive selling. This was particularly effec-
tive in view of the fact that outside buy
ing for the time being displayed a tend
ency to contract.
Long stocks were dislodged in fair vol
ume on the down-turns, but at the same
time. the inquiry was of a good charac-
ter. 1t seems quite probable that be-
tween now and April 2 much feverish-
ness will be experienced on the stock
market. However. in view of the strong
fundamentals doubt Is expressed that
particular advantage will accrue to sell
ers at this level.
Advices from Boston Just received are
to the effect that the Osceola Mining
Company has declared a quarterly divi-
dend of IS which will be payable Apri,
30 to stock record March 81.
Dispatches Just received from New
York City show the net profits of the
Bethlehem Steel Corporation in January
and February at approximately 81, 900 0Oo
or at the arte Of $50. 10000 a year. This
was at a rate of $40 q share per year
on the new stock. In this connection It
should be noted that February was &
short month and that shipments in
January and February were hampered
by inadequate transportation facilities.
