! For all practical purposes" said the
representative of a New York bank with
extensive South American connections,
1.-THE foreign exchange market between
this country and most points south OF
| the Rio Grande has ceased to function.
THE further rise of the American dol
| lar In the Southern countries Of the
western hemisphere ranges from 20 to
81 cents premium, and is largely the re-
suit of the moratoriums in Cuba and
some Central and South American re-
publcs, which are suffering in common
with the rest OF the world from the eff
fects of the European war"
Dealers In foreign exchange also con-
firmed reports that many millions OF
dollars of merchandise shipped from the
United States have been rejected by
business houees In Central and South
American countries. The reasons ad-
vanced are apparent inability of South
American merchants to pay the higher
prices necessitated by their own depre-
ciated currency and the falling markets
in this country. which have left the i'm
porters OF Central and South America
at great disadvantage. especially In
finished textiles, many of which are 25
to so per cent. under the prices con-
tracted for by importers q few weeks
ago.

GRAIN MARKET.

Wheat dropped again yesterday. March
selling for 1.721h, the lowest II has
touched since 1916. December, how
ever, held above its previous low. Weak
ness in wheat was due to announce
ment that the British Commission would
not follow the advance. an easier tone
in foreign exchange. and the heavy
Canadian movement. Selling started at
the opening and continued throughout
the session. although 1t was punctured
by frequent rallies, none of which, ex-
cept the one at the close. was main
taIncd. Buying. which stimulated the
rallies. was based on reports Of in
quiries from Southern Europe. II hav-
ing been reported that about 500, 900
bushels were sold to the continent. Pur-
chases. however. were smaller than
Cnnadian receipts and traders were not
impressed. Chicago receipts were light
and the Southwestern movement was
not large. No definite announcement
has been made In regard to trading In
May wheat and none is expected until
representatives of the eight leading ex-
changes confer and adopt trading plans.
Corn was weak throughout tho SEES
sion. dropping to new lows for the sea-
son. December touching 1854 cents n
bushel The selling at the start came
from . leading elevator interest. II was
followed by pressure by professionals.
Selling was based on the decline in
wheat weak cash markets. the report
that American corn was 10 cents out
OF line In the United Kingdom and the
drop In hogs. Although receipts are
small the expectations are that they
will show a large increase next month
when the farmers shall have finished
with their other work.
Heavy pressure from cash houses and
professionals and the drop In other
grains were factors which led to the
decline In oats and caused those de-
liveries to break to new lows. Tho
market was practically without support
