GRAIN AND PRODUCE

Chicago, March 10.-Notwithstanding that the wheat market today averaged higher. peace r1mors have quotations a downward sweep in the last hour. Clos ing quotations were unsettled, ranging from II. -cent net lower to Ss-cent ad- vance, with May at s1.s6lsa11. s6ss, and July at s15sN. Corn lost Adak-cent. and oats ssq1k-cent; provisions wound up with gains of 1202O cents.
 Moderate advances, interrupted by nu- merous transient setbacks, were brought President Wilson's order for the arming of American merchant ships. Reports that the British government was negot- ating for the purchase of the entire Can adian crop of 1917 for while tended also to give considerable advantage to the bulls, and so likewise did severe dust storms in Kansas. The market, however, seemed from the outset to have an over bought appearance, and it was notice able circumstance that offerings were plentiful on all the bulges Nevertheless,
 selere seemed on the whole to be in a minority until near the end of the ses-
 sion, gossip began to circulate that Ger many was making lreSn attempt at u separate peace with Russia. Assertions that the price which Great Britain was offering for the Canadian wheat yield of 1917 was only $1.S0 bushel exerted an additional bearish influence during the late dealings.
 On the other hand, announcement that one railroad to the seaboard from Chi cago had lifted the embargo on export
 shipments of grain helped somewhat to
 check selling as the day came to an | end.
 1 Corn swayed with wheat, advancing early and sagging later. On the upturn the market touched a new high record price of $l107s for May delivery l Oats were guided entirely by the. action of other grain.
 l Relatively high prices which the British government fixed for lard at Liverpool
 did a good deal to tighten the provision
 market here Besides record top quota tions on hogs continued to rule at the l Chicago yards.

New Orleans Cotton


 New Orleans, March 10.--An upward tendency was given the cotton market here today by several bullish features. chief of which was the announcement from Washington that the government would arm merchant ships. The de- mand was moderately keen in the early trading and fairly good through out, although late in the session there was a reaction under realizing. At the topmost levels of the day the active months were 14 to 26 points over yes- terday's last quotations. The close was steady at net rise of to 12 points
 The great shrinkage in the visible supply of cotton aroused much com ment, the visible of all kinds of cot ton this week losing nearly 250,000 bales. This included S1,00 bales de- ducted from the stock of Egyptian cot ton afioat for Liverpool and the trade came to the conclusion that this cotton had been sunk during the many dis asters of late attending unrestricted submarine warfare Bulls predicted that cotton lost at sea would become an important item in the final statistics of the season.
 The forecast of rains in the eastern portion of the belt stimulated buying because prospects of rainy weathed came close on the heeYs of overflows resulting from the excessive rainfall of the winter. It was considered any further precipitation in the eastern belt would be injurious to new crop pros poets.

ADVANCES SHOWN
 IN COTTON MARKET
Strength Developed on News of Arming of American
 Merchant Ships

New York. March 10.-The cotton market showed increasing strength and activity today on expectations that the arming of American merchantmen would lead to an improvement in ex- port conditions. It seemed. too, that some of the press reports as to con- ditions in Germany created rather q more optimistic view of peace possi- bilities and May contracts here sold up to 17.95c, or 30 points net higher. Reactions followed under realizing with that delivery closing at 17.s7c. while the general list closed steady at net advance of 10 to 26 points.
 The market opened firm at an ad- vance of 12 to IS points with active months selling 16 to 22 points net higher before the end of the first hour. March contracts advanced to 1S.13c, making new high ground for the move ment. and new crop months also sold above the best prices reached last Monday. Houses with Liverpool con- nections were among the more active buyers of old crop months and there was a. tendency to attribute this de- mand to executions of narrowing dif- ferences as a result of increased ship ments. Trade interests were also buy CTS and a report circulating around the ring that certain domestic spinners who had refused to buy at lower prices were being brought into the market by the steadiness of spots in the face of unfavorable features. There was also Wall street buying on the ad- vance, but the upward movement was checked around 1795c for May and 16.S7c for October by realizing, and later fluctuations were irregular. Closing prices showed reactions of 6 or points from the best
 Recent buyers showed a tendency to take profits on the advance, however. and there were some around the ring who. thought early buyers might be rather over optimistic as to the effect of arming American ships on the gen eral export situation. The large busi- ness reported in Fall River for the week helped the advance and there were renewed complaints of dry weather from the extremes southwest

GENERAL ADVANCE
 IN STOCK MARKET Industrials and Specials Re- spond to Measures to
 Safeguard Shipping

New York, March 10.-The stock mar adopted by the administration to safe guard American interests was a general advance in industrials and specialties of l to 3 points, accompanied by an unusual ly heavy turnover.
 United States Steel, Bethlehem Steel and other issues of that class were lifted IF to points, with five for Gulf States Steel. Shippings, which were mostly di- lected affected by the decision to arm ships of American registry, gained 1 to 214 points, coppers at one time showed average advances of point and special ties, particularly leather, paper and mo- tors, as well as accessories of the latter, rose 1 to 3 points, with an additional 5 points for General Motors. making an extreme advance of 10 points for that stock in two days.
 The course of rails was again disap- pointing, the only noteworthy movement i'll that division being gain of 11s points for Southern Pacific. the rise preceding the announcement of a decision favor able to the company in the long pending Central Pacific railway suit.
 Moderate reactionary tendencies were manifested by Industrial Alcohol, Texas company, Baldwin Locomotive, Utah Cop per and other less prominent issues. The entire list sold off irregularly before the close, partly in consequence of exten- sive realizing for profits in steel ship pings and some other leaders. Total sales amounted to 595,000 shares, United States Steel contributing fully 9 per cent of the whole.
 General news of the day included the United States Steel tonnage statement of 7 February, showing unified orders of H. 5I6,697, an increase of slightly more than : 100000 tons over the preceding month, and almost 5000 tons above all previous records.
 The bank statement was interesting chiefly for the fairly large expansion in actual loans, with a corresponding con- traction in reserves and a decrease of almost $22,060 in excess reserves.
 Bonds were irregular on the slight re- versals recorded by the international di- vision. Total sales tpar value) aggregated $2,913,O00, United States registered 3's gained 14 per cent and the coupon 3's and Panama coupon SIS, E per cent on call during the week, while the coupon 2's lost 1A per cent.

seem to indicate that more cotton is for sale around this level than the mar ket can easily absorb in the absence of speculation. On the other hand the mar ket reflects the feeling of the trade, which is bullish. and also the technical situa- ton in New York, which, as we have pointed out before, is strong, owing to the difficulty of moving cotton easily over congested railroads. Weather conditions are more favorable in the eastern belt, and there are some indications of rain in the southwest. The local trade are in- clined to look for reasons for an advance rather than to consider the uncertainties of the situation.

Shepard & Gluck's Letter

New Orleans, March 10.-The decision by Washington to arm merchant ships, the forecast of rains over the entire eastern half of the belt and the great decrease in the visible supply were fea- lures which steadied the cotton market on the weekend, and made for higher prices. All indications point to a fur ther strengthening of the situation in the old crop while the new crop does not take on a favorable aspect as gen. eral planting time approaches.
 The arming of merchant ships means much. since it marks new phase in the relations between this country and Germany.
 It is bullish no matter which way it is regarded, for, if our ships get through the danger zone, it means continued ex- port business while if they sink it means just so much cotton lost.
 All kinds of cotton this week showed a decline and visible supply figures of 22a : S6o bales. an enormously wide minus varia- tion for this time of the year. It was partly due to the minus correction of 8l.000 bales in the stock of Egyptian, due to deductions in the afloat for Liverpool and the conclusion drawn by many people was that the greater part of this S1 900 bales had been lost at sea.
 Rainy weather in the eastern belt, com ing on an already excessively wet soil means further new crop backwardness We look for higher prices.
