to look for normal trade conditions i'm mediately. we also think 1t entirely be- yond reason to expect that chaos will rule for an indefinite period. Reading between the lines. it looks as if the peace conference is making about all the head way that may reasonably be expected against the innumerable knotty diplo- matic questions before it, and, therefore. we think it unwise to follow the decline merely because of passing pessimism over world politics. It is the final outcome and not the events of the moment that must be discounted.
 The rains in the central and western portions of the belt caused rise of l to 10 points on the opening, after which prices fell until they were g to 59 points under Mondays close, in the face of pre- dictions of more rain east of the Missis- sippi river.

RECORD PRICES MADE IN THE CORN MARKET Oats, to the Contrary, Lost l 1-2c, While Provisions
 Made a Gain
a. Assoslafs1 Rress

Chicago, March 2f..al! deliveries of corn scared today to new high price records for the season. but reacted atarply at the last. Gossip had been cur rent that seaboard exporters were bid- ting and this factor was afterward more CT less offset by bearish advices from Argentina. The market closed nervous at the same as yesterdays finish to 11zc higher with May, s1.4ss&Q1. 4s5s and July s1, SS7s11.s9. Oats lost AG1ac. Provisions sained 2oG50c.
 Corn traders showed themselves to be extremely susceptible to bullish influ- snces, such as the gossip about export in duiry. The underlying reason was that 20 domestic stocks to speak of were readily available and that no movement cf consequence was expected until after corn planting has been accomplished. On he resultant bulge in prices, however, the wave of buying orders became eX- hausted and prices swung backward with longs in general striving to realize
 The immediate bearish impulse in the ate dealings was sudden fall in quo- ations at Buenos Aires together with. an estimate that the Argentine exportable surplus would reach 230. 000.000 to 2o0,0oo,

 Elevator interests sold oats and made hat cereal relatively weak.

FOREIGN FACTORS
 FIGURE IN STOCKS  U. s. Steel Could Not Hold Early Gain During the
 Closing Hours
By Associated Press

New York. March 26.--The same fac tors and developments which initiated against "a continuance of the forward movement on the stock exchange early in the week were operative again dur ing today's heavy session, though in lesser degree.
 Political and economic complications in central and eastern Europe were the subjects of wide discussion in high financial circles, supple nA:,ted by ad- vices which bore adversely on the status of important oil properties across the Rio Grande.
 Some of the days news was distinct " hopeful and Illuminating, however notably the detailed report of the coun try's February foreign trade, in which exports were in keeping with the high record of the preceding month.
 In well Informed quarters there was an evident disposition to accept rumors from Washington and elsewhere to the effect that the admins tration had vir, tually decided to abandon the several antitrust suits now pending.
 Uniteds States Steefs sole outward manifestation of this prospect was a rally of 1 F points from it's low of the forenoon, but only a fraction of the rebound remained at the end the entire list selling off on fairly large offer ings of rails. Canadian Pacific yielding almost points.
 As whole the market may be sum marized by the statement that invest ment shares were heavy when they moved at all, while early gains in sec ondary metals, oils and the shippings were largely dissipated later at per cent rate for call loans adding to the unsettlement at the close.
 Every division of the bond market was heavy or weak. Liberty fourth IA g making a new minimum at 93.4S, for egn issues losing fractions to point and the general domestic list shading Total sales, par value. S15. 250, 900.

Over Private Wires
Over S. R. Stewart & Co.'S Wire

New Orleans. March 26.-Instead of the reassuring news which the markets ex- pected over the holiday. foreign news was again disconcerting particularly the cN- presson of prominent opinion in Europe that the turn of affairs in the near east has created serious situation and needs prompt and emphatic action to cope with it London news of an instruction Tn Egypt, and declaration of martial law in Spain also affected opinion.
 One consolation supplied by foreign news is that the new crisis has inn pressed the necessity of speedy perfec- ton of the peace agreement, and Paris advises that it will be rushed and may be signed before the middle of April
 Without this unfavorable turn in poli- ties the market would have had a strong impetus from the bad weather and the Washington news that the governments g s1 900, coo fund for financing foreign trade will soon be available to exporters through the war finance corporation.
 Liverpool held up we'll which was natural in view of recent developments affecting importations.
 Our market opened 10 points down on May, unchanged on later positions, but selling on foreign news soon caused a steady decline of 10 to 60 points, Near premium positions were the weakest for the reason that if the export outlet for any cause should again become clogged then the premium positions would offer g1 eatest attraction for tender, and as the outlook for greater supply of good grades increases with the approach to a new season. there is less reason to hold the better grades. July and October, on the other hand, stand more and more on the merit of reduced price levels. as it is claimed they are under the cost of production.
 The market, after the first selling rush. rallied 30 points on covering, but support has no pronounced character and the market looks nervous and unsettled, wait ing for further news from Europe.
 If any good reliable news should come a quick rally might result from technical conditions.
 After the opening of 10 down on May and unchanged on other positions, the market ranged within limit of 67 points on May; SO points on July and 47 points on October and closed 10 net lower than the previous close on May and July, and 20 off on October

LIQUIDATION WAS
 ADOPTION FEATURE
General List Closed Steady at a Net Decline of 23
 to 60 Points
By Associated Press

New York. March 26.-The unsettled conditions reported in Europe seemed to be responsible for 8 renewal of liquda- tion, and the declining tendency of the cotton market today. New style May contracts sold off to 2SSsc and closed at $.67c, with the general list closing steady at net decline of 23 to 50 points on the new and of to 50 points on the old style months.
 Liverpool made a steady showing over the local holiday, but was a seller here and after opening at unchanged prices to a decline of IA points for new style deliveries the market quickly eased off under scattered southern, Wall street and local selling. There was scattered buy ing on reports of unsettled weather in the south and after showing net losses of 8 to 50 points, the market rallied several points during the middle of the day on trade buying and covering The support was by no means active or az gressive and prices weakened again early in the afternoon under continued Liver pool and local selling with new style May selling off to 2125c, and October to 19 45c, or about 50 to 60 points below Mondays closing.
 Reports from Washington the peace conference was making more rapid prog ress than appeared on the surface and better English news regarding labor con- ditons helped the rally during the mid dle of the day, but evidently made lit tie impression on sentiment. although closing prices showed recoveries of 20 to p points from the lowest. Southern in terests were credited with Gquidacing old style months and buying new style. Sell ing by houses with New Orleans connec- tions was active at times. but otherwise southern trading was not much in evi. dence and a good part of the trading here was attributed to Wall street and local liquidation of contracts purchased on the optimistic view of foreign trade prospects last week.

New York. March 26.-The local mar ket for raw sugar was steady and un- changed at 7.2sc for centrifugal to the refiner.
 The board reported purchases of s6,Oo bags of Porto Rican. The market for refined sugar was steady, but the de- mand was only moderate and gain Of a hand-to-mouth character.
 Refiners have not been able to ship as much sugar as desired on account of the scarcity of ocean tonnage and their sup plies consequently have increased, so that they have no difficulty in filling domes- tic orders and making prompt shipment. Prices were unchanged at cents for fine granulated.

Over w. I. Phelts & Co.'S Wire

New Orleans, March 26-The unfavor- able trend of European politics was the main influence in cotton today and it worked strongly against values. Any and all bullish features were ignored, except on the opening when the bad weather in the belt caused small rise. The dis position seems to regard the present sit ation in Europe as hopeless and likely to continue for a long time. in spite of the messages from the American legation at Paris claiming that peace is much nearer than would appear from the sur face of things. Chaotic conditions are inevitable after great war and while we think 1t unwise and not at all logical
