CORN AVERAGES LOWER.

tition from Argentina made the corn
market to-day average much lower.
Prices closed unsettled. at 2ssc. net de-
cline TO &c. advance. with May sissy

Oats lost y to &c. and provisions 81

Word that cargoes OF Argentine corn
were being bought at 13c under July
c. l. Z. New York for April-May shipment
gave aggressiveness to the bear side of
the corn market. especially after mid
day. when the news became generally
known. II was estimated that corn
shipments from Argentina to the United
States during April and May would total
$500 900 bushels A big industry an
rounced that one of the company's
plants would be devoted TO grinding
Argentine corn exclusively. Nearby de-
liveries OF corn here showed relative
strength as a result Of wet weather. car
shortage and the fact that yesterday IS
break in prices had stopped dealers from
paying as much as $3.50 bushel to
rural holders. the price which apparently
a number OF producers had decided upon
as a minimum.
Oats weakened with corn, despite wet
weather delays to seeding.
Selling on the part OF stockyard inter-
ests sent provisions down grade. The
impetus came chiefly from bear!sh senti-
ment as to corn and hogs.

report made public by the corporation at
noon yesterday. The report shows the
total unified orders on hand on March
III to have been 5.43o.572 TONS against
6.0l0.7S7 at the end OF February.
While this decline in untitled orders
was severe IL was not received with sur
prise In the Industrial and the financial
worlds. which had looked for q very deep
cut Estimates as to the probable ex-
tent OF the decrease ran from soc, 900 to
100000 tons and In few cases extended
as high as 10000 tons
since the beginning OF this year the
unified orders OF the corporation have
declined 1.sts.5so tons, the figures at
the close of 1918 having been 7.37e.1b2
tons. A large part OF the decline has
been represented in cancelled Govern
ment orders Since September 80. 1918,
the drop In these unified orders has been
very close TO 100000 tons On Sep
TENDER 80 Of last year the unified orders
totalled S.27s,90b. The decline during
November was very slight and came on
tne neels OF an increase at the end OF
October, 50 that there was not much diff
ference between the figures Of Septem-
Der and November.
Following the signing Of tho armistfce
and the many cancellations which re-
suited from II the monthly reports OF
tonnage began to show radical declines
and from November so to December 81
there was h drop OF nearly 100000 tons.
from December 81 to January 81 Of
about 100000 tons and from January 81
to February 70 Of nearly s7b, 900 tons.
The monthly report Of the American
Iron and Steel Institute on the produc-
ton OF steel ingots shows that thirty
companies, reporting and representing
s4.03 per cent. Of the total output of the
country In 1918. produced during last
month 3.662.2S5 tons OF steel ingots OF
all classes. against 1.7o4.6ss In February
and s.107.7Ss In January. In March,
1918. the total production was 3,l1o,S8l.
The report Of yesterday showed that
the March production was the smallest
since February. 1918. during which. be-
cause of the tieup OF transportation IA
cilities, only 2.27s.741 tons were pro-
duced. The March production was as

WASHINGTON, April 10.-Efforts will
be made by the Government to have the
Supreme Court determine finally before
II adjourns In juno the question whe ether
under the Joint resolution by which the
Government took over control of the
telephone and telegraph systems of the
country Postmaster-General Burleson
has authority to increase rates.
This became known to-day after the
filing of an appeal by the Government
from South Dakota Supreme Court de-
crees permanently enjoining four tele-
phone companies in that State from in
creasing their rates in compliance with
an order issued by Mr.. Burleson on De-
cember 13. While two other cases in
voiving the validity of the Burlecon
order already have reached the court,
this is the first direct appeal from any
decision yet TO be taken and the Govern
ment plans to make It a test case. For
that reason Solicitor General King when
the court reconvenes next Monday after
a two weeks recess. will ask formally to
have consideration OF the case expedited.
Only three more weeks OF arguments
remain this term, but Department OF
Justice officials hope the court will grant
the Solicitor Generals motion 80 that
the case can be argued at once and pos
sioly be decided before adjournment.
