icisive action has not yet been taken
by the congress as whole.

T0Dkf'S MARKET REPORTS

Chicago, March 16.-CORN-Prospects
that lower grades would be made acceptable
on ordinary contracts for future deliveries
had a baerish effect today on corn. The
likelihood was also more apparent that
hedging sales were to be permitted in great
er volume. Liberal receipts and fine wealth
err tended likewise to depress values Open
ing quotations which ranged from kc off
to a like advance, with March $1.27% and
May S1.25A to S1.26, were followed by a
moderate sag all around.
Withdrawal of one of the leading indus
tries from the market led subsequently to
a sharp descent in prices Trading in flu
lures assumed large proportions on the
down turn and there was an extreme drop
of cents in the May option. Later, a re-
sumption of buying on the part of the in
dustry brought .:bout rally. Prices
closed unsettled, 77sc to PIC net lower,
with March 81 .265s and May $1.229s.
OATS-Oat declined 10 the lowest prices
for nearly a month. Nose of the settling
was of stop-loss character on the part
of discouraged holders. After opening &c
to &c off, with May S5Ac to S5sss, the
market underwent decided setback before
beginning to rally.
Under heavy liquidation. oats showed
even greater weakness than corn. At one
time, March was down GA to S-,c as com
pared with S9Ac at yesterdays finish.
PROFESSIONALISM of liberal
gain in warehouse stocks here weakened
provisions. Higher prices on hogs were
ignored.

 Just now the rush of laborers is toward the sugar beet fields of Idaho and Utah Later in the spring when the weather in northern California and the mountains of Colorado has modified the Mexican laborers will be diverted to those fields immigration officials say. These Mexican families have been passing through Fl Paso port at the rate of 50 males each day This usually 15O persons as the families always include at least child
 The Mexicans are admitted under suspension of the contract labor law the head tax law and the teracy law for agricultural work only These laws have tended to restrict immigration at this point from Mexico and many Mexican families coming to the border to take advantage of the suspension of these laws as war eer gency measure.
 The American employers of the Mexican WOrkmen required to return them to the point of entrance into the United States to meet certain requirements as to living conditions while the aborers employed in the United States and to make reports to their work and living conditions.
