Steel Shares Weak
I'm Quiet Market;
Money at Z p. G..
Street Attendance Reduced
by Jewish Holidays; Fur.
tlaer Sharp Fall i'm Ex-
change Rate ON London

Conditions affecting speculative Sc
curities underwent comparatively little
change over the weekend and the stock
market yesterday continued in a mar
row trading area. With attendance in
the Street much reduced by the Jewish
holiday and the trading element pres
ent disposed to await the outcome of
the Maine election, stocks moved ir-
regularly without definite trend. The
outstanding features Of an otherwise
colorless session were supplied by the
weakness Of the steel shares and the
strength of the oils. In the case Of the
latter substantial advances were regis
tered on fairly active buying. The
steels, on the other hand suffered from
the effects of professional bear pres
sure, which resulted in losses Of point
or more in the leading issues.
Broadly speaking, the days move
ment of prices represented little more
than an unwillingness on the part Of
the speculative element to carry oper-
ations far on either side. The weakness
of the steels naturally caused unset
tlement elsewhere among the indus
trials, but the selling was not Of the
kind to cause alarm, since it seemed to
be nothing more than an attempt Of
the professionals to force the whole
list lower. The fact that no one seemed
desirous of buying stocks was, of
course, helpful to the traders working
for lower prices
The most interesting development
in the form of 8 further sharp decline
in sterling exchange. The rate ON Lon
don dropped to S3.45 for the pound
sterling, the lowest level since last
spring, and q loss from Saturday Of
nearly Ave cents. The other exchanges
were under pressure. The more plaus-
ible explanation Of the current move
ment In sterling, which has been under
way for several weeks, Is that exchange
on London is being sold for French
account IN connection with The Anglo
French loan maturity next month. So
lar the heavy importations Of gold have
tailed to check the decline in sterling.
Yesterday an additional s4,ooo,ooo ar
rived on French accouns and S15,0OO.-
600 more is on the ocean en- route to
New York.
The money market maintained An
even keel despite the proximity of the
middle Of month, when abnormalIy
large transactions will take place in
the form of governmental operations in
connection with Treasury certificate
maturities, subscriptions to new Treas
ury issues, and the third instalment on
account of Federal income and excess
profits taxes. Stock Exchange borrow
ers were able to cover their needs yes
terday at per cent, which was the re-
newal rate as we'll as the rate at which
new loans were negotiated. The Satur-
gay bank statements were considered

mens certainly was far better than the
Street had anticipated. WV

Republic Steel Weak

Even in the early trading yesterday,
when the market presented an ap-
pearance of strength, it was evident
chat quiet selling of the steel stocks
was going on all around the board
room. Republic stood out prominently
as the weakest feature of the list and
by the close had registered q net loss
of ~ points. Steel common held up
much better, but broke from s9N to
873s before sufficient buying appeared

to sSA, which was only an eighth off
from Saturdays last sale. Ever since
the Steel Corporation last week re-
ported a falling off in untitled orders
tor the first time in months traders
have taken a bearish position on these
stocks on the theory that the setback
which has already been felt in other
lines of trade is now reaching the iron
and steel industry. In connection
with Republic the point was made that
thls company is in a less strategic
position than the Steel Corporation Be-
cause of the concentration of its
plants.

Wheat Is Stronger
On Eastern Buying
For Export Trade
Farmers Inclined to Hold
Remainder of Crop for
Higher Prices, Is Report;
Canadian Market Firmer

The wheat market displayed pro-
nopnced strength during the greater
part Of the day, and while final quota
tions were somewhat below the highest
they showed net gains for the day OF
IL to 2 cents.
There was an active demand in the
West which was believed to come from
Eastern exporters, who were thought
to be buying against sales to Europe
Actual export business reported for the
day was only $4,000 bushels, bat it
was the prevailing impression that
more business was being done under
cover or that exporters were buying
against old sales.
Country offers were light and lead
ing cash grain interests with extensive
country connections, declared that
farmers have now paid off most Of their
obligations to the banks and are in
clined to hold the balanc, of their
wheat for higher prices.
The Canadian market was firm and
while some authorities arc looking for
more pressure from that direction in
Lne near 1Hture, SO lar the offers nave
not been particularly heavy and prices
recently have moved up to about
parity with the American markets.
Good rains were reported in the Argen-
tane, which should prove of great bene--
tit to the new crop there, but this had
no noticeable influence on the market
here.
The visible supply increased c,17$.-
ooo bushels for the week, bringing the
fetal to 22,S31. 900. compared with 7o.-
$4,000 last year. Total interior re-
ce'pts for the day were 2,2s7, 900. while
seaboard clearances were 2,266,0oo.

Erie Up a Point

Erie common surprised the Street
yesterday by showing net advance of
a full point at the close, something this
stock has not done in long time. To
prove the truth Of this assertion it is
a common custom of the New Street
brokers to offer a cali on the stock
pcint away from the market for thirty
days, and it is a rare occurrence when
the purchaser is able to take a profit
on his paper. One Of the reports to
explain the sudden outburst of strength
in Erie was the story that the Union
Pacllc was seeking an alliance with
the road to secure an outlet to the

A False Alarm

Wall Street had visions for a brief
time yesterday of the Stock Exchange
building going up in smoke. The mar
ket had been open little more than an
hour when suddenly it seemed as if half
Of the fire-fghting apparatus had been
dumped into Broad Street. In front
of the Stock Exchange building half
dozen or more engines, patrol wagons,
ladder trucks. etc., jammed the street,
while the firemen proceeded to run q
line Of hose into the exchange. That
was as far as they went. The water
wasn't turned on. The fact. was that
nobody could be found who knew any,
thing about any fire. Moreover, the
source Of the alarm could not be dis
covered. Whereupon the fire-Aghters
withdrew and the Stock Exchange went
on with its business.

List New Chemical Stock
Shares of the new chemical merger,
the Allied Chemical and Dye Corpora
ton; were traded in on the Stock Ex-
change yesterday on q "when issued"
basis. The transfer Of the market for
the new securities from the curb to the
big board came as a complete surprise.
In fact, it was such sudden develop
ment that for few moments trans
actions were being put through
simultaneously on the exchange and on
the curb. The new stock was admitted
to listing on "~hen issued" basis ex-
actly five minutes before the exchange
opened. This eleventh hour move, of
fcials of the exchange said by way
Of explanation, was made after it had
been found impossible last week to put
the listing through. Publication of the
customary detailed statement Of the
standing Of the company, as required
under the exchange rules, will not be
made, it was said, until after the def
nitive certificates have been issued.
The common stock opened at 59% and
advanced soon after TO 81, after which
it dropped back to 59A. Transactions
in the stock on the curb were cancelled
after it became known that the ex-
change had voted the listing. But for a
few minutes, right at the opening, there
was sufficient spread between the ex-
change and curb quotations to permit
a successful arbitrage by an agile
trader.

SOUTHERN RAILWAY
REFUSES u. $. PLAN

Atlanta, Ca. March 16,-Believing
that the remarkable prosperity of the
South will be continued indefinitely,
the Southern railway system will re-

accepting the standard return" of
5h per cent with an extra " of l
per cent for improvements, provided
in the transportation act.
This decision was learned tonight
after the return of President Fairfax
Harrison from a trip over the sys7

ditions were such that the Southern
lines would equal or surpass the
Governments guarantee, amounting
in this particular instance to about
$2,500,00O annually.
