Both Corn and Oats Look Upward, While Provisions Followed Suit, With Thirty to Seventy
 Cent Rise

Chicago March S.-Eyening up in an- ticipation of the government report of farm reserves had decided bullish ef- feet today in the corn market. The re- port as to corn was about as looked for. but the reserve of oats exceeded by far the most optimistic private esti- mate. Corn closed unsettled at 11h@ sAc net advance. with May s147@ 1.4TA, and July s1.4Oas a1.4o%. Oats finished unchanged to sc higher and provisions up to soc to roc.
 Corn ran up rapidly in price except during brief interval of weakness soon after the opening. and during an- other transient sinking spell later that was due to erroneous news of su- preme court decision. Aside from farm reserve guesses. the chief strengthen ing factor was scantiness of receipts
 High price records for the session were again excelled by the July and September deliveries.
 Slackened domestic buying and 'ab- sence of export buying made the oats market languid in display of sympathy with corn
 Provisions were lifted by corn strength and by firmness of hog values.

COURT DECISION AS TOSTOCK DIVIDENDS CAUSES BUOYANCE All Leaders and Many Spe- cialtiees Make Gains All
 During the Days
 Session
By A.soeIatsd pr...

New York, March S.-The long awaited decision of the United States supreme court which declared stock dividends free from taxation turned today's stock mar ket from early irregularity to feverish activity and absolute buoyancy in the later dealings.
 Gross gains in a wide variety of is . sues, comprehending all the leaders and many specialties, ranged from 5 to 4s points. final prices for the most part be- ing within easy distance of highest levels.
 The movement, which derived much of strength from extensive covering of short contracts, was accompanied by reports that many corporations would soon an- nounce substantial increase of disourse- ments to shareholders.
 It is believed that many of the indus trial companies which added enormously to their earnings during the war, con- template splitting up their high priced shares, with attendant benefits in the form of extra dividends.
 Today's advance was preceded by a severe reaction, the market dropping from 8 to Il points as a result of in- correct reports of the court decision by the news agencies operating in the finan- cial district
 Publication of the Associated Press summary effected a rapid readjustment of the values, the market rising almost steadily in the last two hours, when rails. hitherto backward, also made ma terial gains. Trading was in largest volume of any session in many weeks.
 Other developments included a mod crate reaction in foreign exchange, an easier trend to call money, another sS,0OO,- 600 gold shipment from Canada, and en- gagement of g, ,250.000 from South Africa, via London.
 Bonds were irregular at the outset, but hardened later on the rise of stocks. Sales, par value, were sl3,S00,000. Old United States bonds were unchanged on call
