PKOFTT-TAKING IN CORN BURDENED
 THE CHICAGO PIT
Both Corn and Oats Took Dip, While Provisions List Went Off Thirty
 five to Fifty Cents
By Associated Press

Chicago, March 9.-Profit taking sales on the part or holders of corn burdened the market most of the time today and forced a general setback. The close was heavy 7sc to Sc net lower, with May s1.45B to s1.4e, and July s1.39ss to $1.391s. Oats lost 7sc to 1Ac and provisions 35c to soc.
 Downturns in the corn market were regarded by many bulls as only normal, in view of the recent advances. May delivery being up 191sc from the low point a fortnight, ago. Besides, al- though government figures on corn re- serves were about as expected, the est innate on wheat exceeded private re- ports and thus the government state ment, taken as whole, had a bear ish effect on corn.
 N For while. however, offerings went into strong hands. so much so that shorts took fright at one time and lifted quotations to the topmost point yet this season, except May delivery With other primary centers, however shipping corn to Chicago, longs here resumed unloading and the market closed not far from the bottom point Fof the session. Oats were governed by the action of corn.
 Weakness in hog values pulled down provisions. The market though, ral- lied somewhat during the temporary bulge in corn.

MERIDIAN, MISS.

Meridian. Miss, March s.-(SpeciaL)-
 motion of counsel for the railroads, Fed
 eral Judge Edwin Holmes has ruled that suits brought during the government pe-
 riod of railroad operation shall be held
 in status quo until such time as an agent representing the government shall
 nave been appointed by the President
 under the provisions of the bill returning
 the railroads to their private owners. The ruling while made on motion in one
 particular carc. affects number of heavy damage suits wherein Walker D- Hines, d; ector general of the railroad administration. is made defendant, which were expected to come up for trial at the present session of the federal court here. The bill providing for the return of the railroads to the private owners requires appointment by the President wifs;.n thirty days from the date of it's passage and approval of substitute agent of the government to take care of any and all litigation that may have arisen while the government was operating the rail- roads, according to the motion as made by counsel for the railroads. This means that no suits are expected to be abated by the government, but are to be given when an agent duely au- thorized to act for the government has been appointed and qualities for the work, So under the ruling of Judge Holmes none of the cases scheduled for trial can be held at this term of the court.

 "The Bar of Hale county, recognizing in Hon. B. M. Miller, judge of the Fourth judicial circuit of Alabama, one of the states foremost citizens, man of the greatest poise and dignity, of profound legal learning and of superb judicial temperament, a ripe scholar a great jurist wise, sane and firm. and withal Christian gentleman, do here by unanimously indorse the candidacy of Judge Miller for the supreme court ] of Alabama, and we do, individually and as a body, commend him to the worthy of their confidence, considera- tion and vote.

CANDIDATES MAKE THE FINAL RUSH ID
 QUALIFY IN RACES
lO'Neal and Weakley Pay Fees-Two Tickets In the
 Field for Delegate
By FRED H. GoRMLEY

Montgomery. March 9.-(SpeeiaL)-- Former Governor Emmet o'Neal and Judge Samuel D. Weakley qualified as lcandidates for United States senator by paying their fees and filing pledges to support the nominees late Tuesday Rfternoon. Governor o'Neal goes into the senatorial free-for-all brought on by Senator Bankhead's death. Judge weakley will continue to oppose oscar W. Underwood.
 w. B. Bowling of Lafayette, formally entered the race for congressman from the Fifth district vacated by MT. lief 1ins entrance in the senatorial race. J. Sanford Mullins of Wetumpka, who am nounced Saturday, also qualified for the campaign.
 Candidates began to pour into the capitol Tuesday to qualify with the state executive committee. After mid night Wednesday no name can be placed on the ballot for any race ex- cept short-term senator and candidates for this office must qualify before the end of March IS.
 One fact became apparent even with the misunderstanding which always comes a the eleventh hour-two tickets are being qualified for delegates to the national convention. One tlcket repre- sents those who favor support of the national prohibition amendment and enforcement law. The other Is made up of those who have always called them- selves liberals. and who in days gone by were classed as local optionists. Pro- hibitionists made no denial of the fact that they will have a representative in each race for delegate to the national convention. With regard to opposition it was noticed that the declarations were the same and were written on the same typewriter, many being carbon copies

$. R. Stuart & Co.'S Letter

New Orleans, March s.-Liverpool showed futures 1 to points down. against 12 to 20 points higher due, with spots 16 points higher. The reaction ary tendency may be due to political news and situa tions in the near east.
 There was a report that the Ma tional Ginners make total ginninrs to March 20, 11,120,000 bales, and give 9 per cent increase in acreage. This is, however at best only a preliminary guess. The ginnings compare with the bureau estimate of 11,050,000 bales of 800 pounds.
 The market opened to 10 points lower on the disappointing Liverpool and general news; also on the better weather map, but rallied fast to about 10 points over yesterdays close on the manifestation of strength in the near positions. The realization of the tech nieal advantage by the strictness of the contract, restricts selling of old crop positions, and a moderate demand therefore has an effect on the market. Otherwise feeling was easier on ths better weather, outlook, the full gin ming figures by the National Ginners exceeding the bureau crop forecast. and a further decline in Liverpool to around so points under yesterdays clos ing prices in the near positions.
 The market turned easier in the last hour and reacted about 20 points from top figures.
 "The spot market is reported quiet with some evidence of more better grade cotton coming out and the basis easier.

!. D. Campbell 6 Co.'s Cotton Letter

~. E. Campbell & Co.'s Cotton Letter
 Liverpool was very disappointing this morning. being 2 to 4 points lower when an advance of 15 to 22 points was due This weakness was no doubt due to political news abroad. It was re- ported the British had occupied Con- stantinople.
 Our market opened 10 to F points lower, but soon showed an advance of 15 to 20 points, July contracts selling as high as 53.95c. Around this figure, however. heavy liquidation set in and prices eased off 30 to B points. The close was at a decline of 20 points from last nights final figures
 The National Ginners give 1f,130,0oo bales ginned to March 20. which com pares with the bureau crop estimate of II ,030, 900, and is regarded as bearish, We do not like the tenor of foreign news. They indicate unrest and fric- ton. Recent political developments abroad have not been favorable as to any improvement in the outlook foi carly renewal in export demand. The general lineup is in favor of some re- action and we prefer selling on all bulges.-Campbell & Orcutt.

 It is expected the attorney generals department will represent the health department in the fight, in view of the fact that state funds are involved

 If there is anything in the tradi- tion that stocks will go up when the sap starts in the trees" the re- covery that has gotten under motion m the stock market this week may be the annual spring rise" At least, that is the opinion expressed in many quarters in the Street. where it is held that. after a brief reaction, the market may go still higher on the rally We believe" said A. \. Hous- man X Co. today. "the foundations are well laid for the so-called spring rise.

New York, March 9.-A wave of buy ing occasioned higher prices earlier in the day, with the covering of spot hedges very much in evidence. On the extreme rise realizing and southern selling caused a moderate reaction, with May showing the principal weak : ness, but at no time was the market weak. and on the decline trade buying make its appearance. At present the indications are that southern holders will sell only on a rising market. With reports of possible labor shortage for the proper preparation of the coming seasons crop, some of the domestic mills are buying new crop positions, as their supply on hand is probably suf- ficient to carry them over until the next season.-J.
