AMERICAN BEEF
PRICES DIFFER
Chicago Market Shows De-
cline, While Eastern Gen.
ters Report Gains.

Despite the fact that the average
price paid for good. beef steers on
the Chicago market from March S
to March 10 declined from s9.9S to
1870 per, hundred pounds, figures
compiled by the Bureau of Markets
OF the United States Department Of
Agriculture, show that during the
same period the average price of
good steer beef at three large east
ern markets advanced from $16.47
to s17 Similar cimpilations
show that from March ) to March
10 the average price paid for me-
dium beef steers dropped from 1920
to $s.s3, whereas during the same
period the average wholesale price
OF medium steer beef increased
from S15.43 to 1855.
, During the period covered, the
price OF heavy steer hides declined
about cents per pound, which
would Justify either a decline OF
IL cents per hundred pounds on live
steers, or an advance Of approxi-
mately 25h cents per hundred
pounds on the dressed meaat.

COTTON ADVANCES

NEW YORK. March ga rip
roaring bull market developed tO-l
day due largely TO the excellent an
nual report put out by the United
States Steel Corporation. The
strength continued until near the
close when some pront-tsking de-
veloped. Traders were buying
stocks all over the board and as
a result total sales reached a new
high record for the year. -
While the advance was a con-
tinuation Of the upward movement
Of the past week. the steel report
gave IL an added impetus. and with
the exception OF a few speciaities
the entire list showed a substa ntial
advance for the day. The motor
shares, led by Studebsler and
Chandler. featured the rise, but
were followed closely by the steeis.
and the better feeling created ulti-
mately Influenced the rails.
Cotton Market strong.
The cotton market also ruled
strong throughout the day and
prices advanced sharply due to the
better reports from abroad and the
more favorable light being thrown
in grain. however, was erratic, and
wheat and corn were heavy and
weak
With the exception Of swiss rates.
which touched a new low, foreign
exchange was steady. business
was light, however. due largely to
the proximity Of the Easter hcli-
days which begin tonight in London
and extend until Tuesday. This
also affected the London market.
where trading was rather dun and
listless.
Active buying of stocks commenc-
ed right at the opening and was
increased when the renewal rate
was announced unchanged at eis
per cent. Some traders had looked
for Z per cent renewal. due to a
better demand for funds on Tues
day. Call loans were easily placed.
however. and the rate eased OF
70 per cent before the close.
