Times.
New York-The main source Of the
decline in stocks was found in the ex-
pectations Of the earnings and divi-
dend statement of the u. s. Steel Cor
poration to come today. Estimates
run from $S0,000,000 to $4,000, 900
whereas they had been in excess OF
500, 100000 and an increase OF only
100000 to 100000 over last quar-
ters earnings seemed by comparison
to be poor. Sentiment was sufficient
ly bearish to lead to an increase in the
short side Of steel and probably in
other parts Of the list as we'll. The
street felt disappointed over its, con-
clusion that the extra dividend would
be only / per cent or at most per
cent. There were other influences, but
they were more in the background
than that of the steel dividend. Ono
heard a good deal of displeasure over
latest proposed addition to federal
taxation with inquisitorial features

the tax itself. This made many less
Keen ABOUT buying. international QueS-
tons also played their part. The mar
ket has consistently shown concern
both over peace and over the posi-
bility Of fresh complications WIFI IN

no news from abroad which would

has gone so far in developing its
munition manufacturing that 1t is
calling a halt, having caught up with
and even exceeded the munition de-
mands Of the war whose requirements
in this direction have so far exceeded
all previous experience that they could
not have possibly been foreseen. If
England makes less in the way of
munitions than it has been making, it
will devote the manufacturing facili-
ties and labor thus released to other
industrial purposes to building of
ships for instance and demand upon
United States for raw material to
produce the finished product would
hardly be lessened by reason of Eng

EVENING GRAIN LErTER.


Chicago, Jan. 30.-Wheat - The
wheat today was very unsettled and
nervous. After opening steady and
selling off on catching stop loss order
and on selling by commission houses,
the market became oversold and near
the end of the session prices rallied
very materially. There was no for
eign news to account for the late
strength, simply an advance caused
by covering of shorts and general
commission house buying. Receipts
were fairly liberal, while clearances
were moderate. The visible should
show a substantial decrease next
week, but the market still depends
upon good deal Of export trade de-
velopments.
Corn-The corn market followed
the early trend of wheat and later
firmed with the strength in wheat.
The reports from down state points
indicate a good export demand and
there was some talk Of an easier Car
situation although 1T any improve
ment in that regard 1t is very slight.
Foreign news remains buIlish on
corn.
Oats-Oats rallied sharply on cover
ing by shorts and with firmness in
wheat. Commission houses were free
buyers on the break today. Primary
receipts OF oats were moderate COM
pared with last year but statistics are
still against the bulls until the outlet
for grain is broader than at present.
