Chicago, March l6.-Hoes sold generally highe'
this week than last, best animals today getting
between 1880 and lso0. This was the high mark
for the week. The run has been . little lighter
than expected. and this. with good demand from
the East, have been primary reasons for the
market keeping on q strong basis. The weeks
closing prices today showed an advance in some
instances Of lOc over Fridays closing sales.
The general market for cattle was 6oc to 81
higher than last week. The supply has been
shorter than expected. Good to medium. steer.

good demand at steady prices
Closing values for sheep and lambs showed q
good margin over prices obtained . week ago
Aged muttons showed the most strength, ad

CHICAGO GRAIN.
By JOSEPH PRITCHARD.

Chicago March l6-Cash corn showed declines
Of to 3 cents and cash oats to cents to-
day. Liquidation BY longs in oats caused
break Of to 4S cents in the futures and liqui-
dation By longs in corn forced values z to ~
cents lower. Only a few lots Of the cash article
changed hands. The average speculatcr a. well
as the cash handler Of either corn or oats was at
sea a. to the proper course to pursue. The
average trade was small and those who made
purchase or sales acted with caution. The
Board Of Trade officials as well a. the Food
Administration has put the trade here in = 20
ation where large commitments on either the
buying or the selling side will prove a dangerous
procedure.
Following the hull in cash corn and oats
interests wanting those grains will doubtless
become large purchasers During the latter part
Of the week cash oats were sold in large amounts
and these were bought for direct export. The
corn moving Is in better condition and this
viii meet ready takers upon arrival at terminal
markets
Price recesions In provisions were mainly the
result OF declines in grain. The liberal in
creases shown By the semi mimonthIy stock report
on hog products was a weakening influence.

new YORK STOCKS
Dull; COTTON High
Reading and Tobacco Strong Ez-
ceptions-Staple at $3.50.

New York, March Is.-stocks were
dun today but in a few issues there
vas considerable activity. Reading
and the tobacco stocks were strong.
The oil stocks were weak. March cot
tou sold at $50 a pound which Is the
highest psice in the history Of the
staple. Corn and oats turned ex-
tremely weak. Corn options were
nom to 6 cents a bushel lower. This
weakness in grain was said to De que
10 the better crop outlook. The
strength of cotton was q natural re-
.nlt Of the shortage of labor and the
hfgh cost Of seed. The demand con-
tinues TO grow and fabrics are already
selling on a basis Of above " cents
pound for cotton.
Weaknesa of Sinclair OIL was partly
n result of a rumor that the dividend
would be reduced and perhaps cut on
entirely.
All the oil stocks were heavy be-
cause Of announcement that an In
crease in prices must come to save
several from serious embarrassment.
Owing to the liberal treatment ac-
corded by the government to the OIL
industry and the patriotic spirit with
which the oil people have responded
there Is little doubt that they will be
permitted to make the necessary ad-
vance.
American Tobacco advanced "a
points on a single transaction. Unit
ed Cigar stores and American Sum-
atra were also strong. The latter
touched a new high price.
Reading was In the hands OF an en-
thusiastic pool Of professionals who
urged MS purchase verbally and by
telegraph.
DEALINGS In other railroad stocks
have a strange lack Of confidence in
view Of the bonanza rental to be paid
for the railroads by the government.
One rate advance has already been
granted and more must come as a
matter Of routine because the govern
ment must make the railroads pay
their own way. Those bankers who
look a few years into the future are
rejoicing at the present opportunity
Of picking up railroad stocks and par
ticularly railroad bonds. The outcry
of New Haven stockholders finds lit
tie sympathy in Wall Street.

regular market price of wheat at
the time of the passage OF the food
