FOREIGN EXCHANGE RATES.
CHICAGO GRAIN MARKET.

Chicago, April 14.-For the first time Tn quite while buying power in the grain markets broadened somewhat to- day, and liquidation gave evidence of having perhops spent it's force. All de- nVer1es of wheat and corn after touch ing new low record prices for the sea- son, rallied to above yesterdays finish. Wheat, however, failed to hold the ad- vance and closed weak, to 1 3-4e net lower, with May 1.21 1-4 to 1.21 1-2. and July 1.05 04 to 1es. Corn gained 2 1-S to 5-So net, and eats a shade to 1-26 5-Sc. Provisions lost 1T to 35c.
 At first bearish reports concerning Industrial. and financial conditions tend ed to keep the wheat market on the down grade and so likewise did favora ble advices in regard to the crop out look. Under such circumst ances val ues quickly descended to the lowest leve] yet for the 1921 crop. Then one of the leading houses here took an open stand that depressing factors had been more than discounted. Mothers were recruited to the same opinion and throughout tht rest of the day the market assumed z more lively two-ssded character than has recently been the case. Sellers though, appeared to be in a psa iority again during the last fifteen minutes ot the session, influenced possibly bv ah. sence of export demand both for whead and rye.
 Corn and oats were relatively frr from the outset responding to sn i'm proved cash inquiry. A fair an1o,:nt ot corn was said to have been taken fol Europe
 Declines in the hog market weakened provisions.

CARDINAL DoUGHERTY HAS
 ARRIVED IN PHILADELPHIA

Philadelphia. April 14.-Dennis Cardi- nal Dougherty, wearing the full robes of ais ofice-the red gown of the cardinal ate and the red hat bestowed upon him by Pope Benedict-returned home tonight. Scores of thousands not only of his own faith but of other denominations well comed Philadelphia's first ecelesiastic to be elevated to such rank with a demon strztion unparalleled in the church his tory of the city.
 One hundred automobiles, the last car rying his eminence and Mayor Moore passed through streets lined by more than 200 .060 persons, streets alive with the flare of red fire, with waving Ameri- can flags and papal colors. The proces- sion passed under triumphal arches erected by various parishes, while blazing electric signs bore the words Welcome Cardinal"
 The cardinals special train arrived from New York shortly after o'clock and the procession then made it's way fol approximately seventy blocks to the arch. episcopal residence. Throughout the city Catholic churches and parochial school, were gay with bunting in his honor.
 In addition to the hundred mounted police who headed the parade, large de tails of unmounted men were necessary o handle the throngs. Delegations iron many sections of Pennsylvania took par in the demonstration.

New York,,sApril 14---Tho, stock mar ket resunied s4tss EeaeBfonary eeHEse. to- day, rails, steels and affiliated issues again displaying pronounced weakness at net recessions of to 4 1-2 points. Commodity markets, especially grains, also were unsettled.
 Factors which have served more par ticularly in the last week to p depress general economic conditions were again effective. Fhe Brit:Fh lfoor confliat and the urgent financial requirements of various railroads and industrial concerns assumer graver aspects.
 Shorts uncovered new elements of weakness in the market, directing their energies in part to the shares of com panies whose future dividend disburse- .ments are reported to be more or less doubtful because of poor earnings.
 Conspicuous features of the broader reversal embraced number of high grade transporta tions, especially Cana dian Pacific, Delaware & Hudson and Louisville & Nashville. Among the weak CT industrials and specialties were Cru cible, Sloss-Sheeffild and U. s. Steels, Pressed Steel Car, Pullman and General Electric.
 Sugars, tobaccos, utilities and finally the oils and motors also gave way. Low est quotations of the session were made in the last hour. Supporting orders then were negligible at best, a nervous tone prevailing at the close Sales amounted to 575. 900 shares
 | Neither the money market nor foreign exchange figured to any perceptible ex- | tent in the. days operations. Call and time funds were unaltered. but interna- i tional remittances, were firmer, the Ital- ian rate making further marked ad- vance
 Conforming to the hea3iness of stocks i numerous railway bonds tended down ward, especially convertible issues. Lib- erty bonds were mainly lower. but Inter
 nationals were inclined to further i'm
