Buoyant Aduance in
 British Remittances

New York March 17.--Another buoyant advance in British remit tances, or sterling rates featured to- days active dealings in the local foreign exchange market
 Demand bills on London rose 3ia cents during the market session and this was later extended to almost | cents when the demand rate was posted at s45Sss. The latter fi-ure represents a recovery of almost 10 cents in the pound from the minimum of the early part of the week..
 Other European rates, especial those of England's former allies, were carried forward but German marks remained at or near lowest levels Dealers ascribed the rally largely to over speculation for the short account based mainly on England's recent do- nestle and colonial differences.

EXPORT BUSINESS AND SMALLNESS OF
 STOCK FEATURE
All Grains in Chicago Pit Take Upward Slant, While Pro- visions List Was Up
 and Down
By Associated Pr.ss

Chicago, March 17.-Indications of liberal export business together with gossip about smallness of European stocks of breadstuffs, did a good deal today to lift values in the wheat market here. The close was unset tied at to & cents net higher with May S1.SS1a to A and July s119ss to 5. Corn gained l A to Ihc and oats < to l cent. In provisions the finish was unchanged to 27c higher.
 Advances in the wheat market were especially rapid in the last part of the day as a result of report that for eign purchasing included consider able amounts of new crop wheat for Germany. Besides, much attention was given to statements from a lead ing member of the Board of Trade who has just returned from & Euro pean trip and who expressed very bullish views Gossip current as to United States farmers pooling their wheat appeared also to be factor in connection with the upward swing of the market
 Confirmation of figures showing that total holdings of wheat in this country are materially below normal tended further to encourage general buying of wheat and to lift values, official announcement today of coun- try mills and elevator stocks being substantially the same as private esti- mates which had recently been circu- lated. Higher quotations Liverpool were likewise influential and in par ticular at thefopening tended to send prices here upg rade.
 Corn and oats reflected the action of wheat. In addition, receipts Of corn were small and fair export buy ing of corn was said to have taken place at the seaboard.
 Provisions were weak early with hog values, but commission house buying later more than offset the decline.

MILLION SHARES
 AGAIN CHANGED
 HANDS IN TRADING
Money Market Was the Pri- mary Factor in the Further Promotion of BuIlish
 Sentiment
By Associated Press

New York, March 17.--For the third consecutive session, trading on the stock exchange today ran well beyond the million share mark, deal ings again encompassing an unusual variety of issues.
 The money market was the primary factor in the further promotion of bullish sentiment. On the exchange, call loans fell from s1s to 3 per cent in the first hour and in private offer ings such accommodations were ob- fainable at 21s per cent.
 Among the more prominent issues in today's active operations were nu- merous low priced shares of the rail way, industrial and unclassified groups. Their activity, seemingly absed on speculative possibilities was attributed to professional interests.
 The trend for tho most part was decidedly upward. but profit taking incidental to a Friday session re- duced some of the more substantial gains at the end. Representative stocks in the railway division again were inclined to lag, but Union Pa cific was bought in round amounts toward the clos,
 Crucible Steel was only temporarily affected by the omission of the com mon dividend, finishing at slight gain, but Tidewater Oil broke sharp Iy on the suspension of It's dividend and several specialties were under pressure in anticipation of such ac- tion.
 Outstanding features embraced U. s. Steel and the independent steels, notably Vanadlum, as well as Chand- Ter Motor. Anaconda Copper, Central Leather, Columbia Gas and Allied Chemical. the latter making net gain of points.
 Foreign exchanges, especially the British rate, continued the impress give recovery from last weeks reac- ton. Remittances on London were heavily traded in, the inquiry, from all accounts including covering of short contracts. Demand sterling rose to s4.37A or about three-fourth cents from yesterdays low. Allied rates were 8 to almost 20 points high CT, and Dutch and Scandinavian bills rose 5 to 1b points but the German marks retained al of It's recent weak ness.

Stocks of Wheat in
 Mills and Eleuators
By Associated Press

Washington, March 17.-Stocks of wheat in country mills and eleva- tors March 1 were estimated at 72,- 564.000 bushels by the United States Department of Agriculture, This is the smallest quantity in the record of reports made to the department for that date during the last 10 years with the exception of March l. 1918, when the abnormally low stocks of 66.0oe.000 bushels followed the small wheat crop of 1917.
 Exports of wheat from the 1921 crop have been heavy and country mills and elevators possess only nine per cent of that crop This Is the smallest percentage for these stocks in the same month in 10 years. the highest record is 16 per cent.
 Average wheat stocks in country mills and elevators March 1 during the last five years were about 91,- 000,00 bushels. Stocks this year were 20 per cent less than the five year average. Wheat stocks of this class were as much as 155,000, ,000 bushels in 1916, or 112 per cent more than the 1922 figure.

HUBBARD's LETTER

New York, March Specially Our market opened around last nights closing figures but soon sold up to IS cents for May on better advices from Liverpool regarding an improv- ed mill situation in Manchester with orders from China and Japan. On the opening, there was buying from Liverpool and Wall street in addi- tion to some short covering.
 Later in the day renewed buying took place on poor weather reports from the western belt, possibly in- dicating that more showers would blow over into the eastern districts causing continued delays in the pre- paration for the new crop. Although sentiment is still mixed. cotton statis- tics and a view into the future leads us to believe I've will have higher prices.-Hubbard Bros. &Co
 F. J. LINNELL .S CO.'S LETTER
 New Orleans, March 17.-(Special.) Developments of the day and stats tical variations for the week were bullish, and while market ruled very steady, there was disappointment in values not showing more of an ad- vancing tendency.
 Foreign exchange was higher, WHedt was up, exports TOT the day were large, port and interior stocks showed a marked shrinkage for the week, and the weather outlook for over the week end was bullish the smm ediate return of undesirable wet weather being indicated, while spin ners takings for the week were larger than expected 194,000 vs II9.- 900 last year
 In it's semi monthly report Mont gomery, Ala. writes: Crop prepara- tions last two weeks have made vers, little progress in the eastern belt; rains have prevented farm work.
 From present indications we shall have a late start. The tendency is to increase the cotton acreage. but what ever that increase will be 1t will not be very great, farmers have not the n-oney nor credit to farm on a large scale. Indeed we hear of some plant ations lying idle. There has nor been any live stock brought into the south this year. The use of fertij izer will be greatly restricted but perhaps it will be equal to that Of last year, which as will be remem- oered was very small"
 Instead of the needed dry warn, weather, indications are for the re- turn of wet weather in the interior over sunday. Flood warnings have been issued for the Mississippi nj Memphis. and it is predicted that the Hood stage will be reached .next week at all Mississippi river points south of St. Louis.-H. and B. Beer.
