BIG DOWNWARD SWINGS
IN WHEAT THIS week

CHICAGO. March 12.-BiG down
ward swings in the wheat market
have followed definite steps this week
toward widespread lowering OF wages.
Compared with week ago. wheat
this morning showed a drop OF 9% 10
IL buShel. corn was off 2a2 to rs,
oats. to 3is a3h, and provisions. 10
to so.
Bearish sentiment. due to strained
industrial conditions, showed itself
chiefly after Il threatened strike IN
the meat packing industry had been
taken before the federal authorities
at Washington and after some or the
largest railroad systems in the couh-
try had given formal notice of pro-
posed wage cuts affecting all classes
OF employees. Another depre ssing rae
tor was apparent likelihood that the
roundabout movement of grain ana
other supplies from the United states
into Germany would be restricted. II
not brought to a halt. by the effects
OF Germanys break with the allies.
Besides official figures on domestic
farm reserves and on total wheat
stocks in the United States counted
further against the bull side OF the
market. Export buying which devei- :
opcd on the downturn in prices falled
to cause more than transient rallies,
and so, too, did conflicting gossip re-
garding the outlook for a new emer-
gency tariff bill at Washington.
Corn and oats We're Influenced by
the same reasons as wheat, although
there was something of Il counter
balance in continued export demand
for corn.
Provisions averaged lower. in sym
pathy with grain and on selling as
cribed to packers.

SHIPPING ISSUES SHAKY.
Business Is Now Not Only Trou'
blesome. But Costly.

NEW YORK. March 1.-THE busi-
ness of shipping securities from one
city to another is becoming extreme
ly expensive, not to say complicated
and troublesome. The much -adver-
tised "crime wave" has caused all
sorts of precautions to be taken which
never were thought Of before.
Recently a shipment Of s2.0o0.000 in
bonds from New York to Washington
was sent in six packages on six differ
ent trains over three railroads. The
financial officer of An upstate city
who had sold some s1,9o0,000 In his
city's bonds to a local group. arrived
with the securities and a. bodyguard
of six policemen. And so it goes.
Time was when a man put bundle
Of bonds in his suit case and took them
into the sleeper with him. But not
now. These days he first insures the
bundle for full value. Then he hires
especially trustworthy messengers
Then he gets some detectives to water
the messengers. And then he hopes
for the best.
