New York, March 20.-Recent ac- tive and comprehensive operations in the stock market were resumed today. Public participation apparently con tributed appreciably to the turnover of approximately 1.175.oOO shares.

 Buying of the rails, most effective during the eVintermediate period. ex- erted stabilizing influence. Invest ment as well as junior shares of that division registered extreme advances of 1 to 8 points with independent steels.
 Observers attributed much of the markets irregularity to problems now impending at Washington, especially the bonus bill. the four-power treaty and other important Legislation, in cluding the tariff and ship subsidies.
 Another reaction in foreign ex- changes with acute weakness in the German rate was offset in part by the continued ease and abundance or local money rates and freer offerings of time funds, particularly for mer- chants paper. In the open market transactions at per cent rate ruled

Two req sons were assigned for this lack of response to the bunish weather news, one being an absence of sufficient outside speculative support to absorb tho local offerings and the other forecast for clearing weather in the belt which traders assumed would materially improve the outlook in the the nsxt day or two If it continues.
 It seemed to be the impression that conditions In the western belt were in very fine shape and that it was too early in all except southern sections of the easterna belt to be concerned over soil conditions.

WHEAT DEPRESSED BY QUOTATIONS 0F
 LIVERPOOL MARKET
Corn and Oats Were Easier H'ith Wheat, While Pro- visions Were Up and
 Down During Day
 By Associated Press

Chicago, March 20-Increasing SUD- plies on ocean passage together with lower quotations from Liverpool had depressing effect today on the wheat market today. Prices closed unsettled at the same as Saturdays finish to, 1c lower with May sI.3Sss to s1.3Sh and July sI.20A to's1.21 M :. Corn and oats both finished to 7sc off. and provisions unchanged to a set back of 21Rc.
 Bears in the wneas pit had the ad- vantage from the outset owing to reports showing that world shipments for the week just ended were much larger than during the preceding week and nearly double the total a year ago. The amount on ocean pas sage totalled more than 5000, 900 bushels, increased, compared with the week before. In this connection it was said British re-sellers were of fering wheat at SC a bushel under American shippers. Besides, domes- tic crop advices were favorable. On the resulting decline in the market here. however. demand became better. and there were numerous rallies. the chief basis for which was an asser- tion by leading exporter that America was being depended on to supply 70 per cens of the bread needs of Europe. Word that Germany had purchased 500000 bushels of new crop wheat in this country was a further help toward recovery of prices near the end of the day.
 Corn and oats were easier with wheat Announcement of a decided enlargement of the visible supply of corn was partly offset by smallness of country offerings.
 Provisions were higher earlier as a result of upturns in hog values, but declined later. influenced by large sales on orders ascribed to Liverpool.

the market for coffee futures were somewhat irregular today within narrow range of prices.
