GRAIN WEAKENED ON
WAR DEVELOPMENTS
Traders Gave More Atten-
teton to War News Than
All Factors Together

Chicago. March 25.-Grain prices
weakened today owing chiefly to the
bearish effect which war develop
ments appeared to have exercised tenn
porarily on the New York stock mar
ket. Corn closed unsettled, Is to u TO
ac net lower, with March s1.27&, and
May s125A@1.257s. oats finished
n a ssc off to bc advance. Provisions
wound I'D at virtually the same figures
as on Saturday.
Corn traders gave far more attention
to war news than to all other FACTORS
put together The principal result was
To make business shrink to very
small volume indeed, and to keep val
ues depressed, although at no time
we're the declines of a radical charac-
ter. Reports that an increase or oats
acreage would be at the expense OF
corn. helped somewhat to steady the
corn market in the late dealings, ana
80. too, did suspicious weather Tor
field work. Rallies in Wall street quo
tations tended likewise to give little
more courage to holders.
New buying on the part OF export
;nterests aided in counteracting weak
ness ~ the oats market. War happen
L nrs and a Likelihood that the Illinois
acreage of oats would be enlarged had
nraviously led to a general commission
house selling.
In provisions demand from packers
overcame the influence OF lower quo
| tations on hogs.

Over s. R. Stewards Wire

New Orleans, March 25.-The execu-
ton of selling orders which had ac-
curnulated over Sunday on the foreign
news caused a 80 to 40 point slower
opcning, but the market showed a
much better absorbing power than ex-
rected and rallied Immediately after
the call. 1t is argued that II the mar
lxet did not submit to the very unfa-
yorable statistics persistently shown
during the past few weeks then it
could well resist any temporary unfa-
vorable outside news.
The technical situation at New York
is such that control there is compare
lively easy, and recent Developments
in that market support the claim that
powerful spot interests are opposing
the decline for the reason that the cx-
change of futures for spots can be ef-
fected to better advantage in sustained
markets.

reau makes q preliminary forecast of

HARD FOR COTTON TO
CHOOSE A POSITION
Broke Early, But Immedi-
ately Came Back-Closed
But a Few Points Down

New York. March 25-The unsettlins
incluence of the war news was reflected
in very sharp break at the opening
of the cotton market today, but after
selling at S2.37c, May contracts rallied
to S2.S5c and closed at 32.72c. compared
with 30 soc at the close Saturday. The
general list closed steady at a net de.
cline of II to IS points on the old crop
while new crop positions were net un-
changed to 1 point higher.
The market was extremely nervous dur
ing the early trading. and opened at a
decline Of 25 to 81 points under heavy
liquidation.
July sold off to 31.50c and October to
9o.5oc or about "a to SO points net low
er under heavy general liquidation.
Offerings were absorbed at this leyel
BY the buying of domestic trade inter.
ests, while there was also a good de-
mand from Liverpool and New Orleans
and after the first rush of selling hao
subsidized prices turned firmer. The more
optimistic character of the war news
during the middle of the day. the dry
weather in the southeast and the bullish
character of spot advices helped the
rally which carried May back to within
points of Saturdays close, and later
months about to 8 points higher. Al
this level there was renewed liquidation
and the market was unsettled in the
late trading owing to reports of further
German successes. July, which had raj
lied to 3214c, closed at 81 95c. while Oc-
tober closed at so. S5c, after having sold
at 3o.S7c.
It is reported that full page adver-
tisements are being published in many OF
the southern papers urging larger food
crops, and private advices from the south
today were somewhat conflicting as to
prospects for cotton acreage On the
Whole. however, local brokers were in
clined to attribute the action of today s
market to nervousness over the war stu
alton and speculative liquidation followed
by recoveries on trade buying and a
healthy technical position, without much
change in conditions otherwise.

put to nett advance. On the close
the tone was steady and prices were a
point higher to a point lower than the
final quotations of last week.
The opening was at the decline I'M
der the pressure of selling orders which
had accumulated in brokers' offices
over Sunday. The slump was rapidly
widened to 36 to 46 points. At this
level large buying orders appeared and
the market steadied. After gradual
recovery of most of the decline, prices
bulged sharply to a level to points

Trading on, Wall Street Claimed to
Be Sound in Face of Many Factors
BY JOHN c.

c. MOSES
Cotton had a bard job choosing posi-
ton when the trading session opened
yesterday. 1t went OFF sharply at first,
then came back, the general list closing II
to IS points down on old crops, while the
new positions were unchanged. Business
was quiet during the early afternoon, put
prices held very steady with May work
ing up to S2S2c and october to So.S4c. or
about even with last weeks close on July
and later deliveries. Offers were light
after the heavy early selling. and the
market showed a firner technical posi-
ton as well as absence of spot pressure
and a more cheerful view of the war
news.
Bearish war effects sent down grain,
corn closing &c to &c net lower, with
March at $1.27% and May s1.257s. Oats, in
sympathy, closed sc off to 1sc up. Ex-
porters were buying oats. which counter
acted what would have been weak mar
ket. Demands of packers were heavy,
which overcame low quotations on hogs
