Curb Market

New York, March 31.-Short
coverings in some of the leading
issues and new buying by commits
sion houses caused strength on the
curb exchange today. Gillette Safe
ty Razor was one of the leading
features, advancing several points
to a new high record on urgent
buying by several of the big stock
exchange houses. Creole Syndicate
continued in good demand. Kirby
Petroleum was bought on the ex-
pectations of the early completion
of new well in the Mexia field.
There was increased interest in
the motor shares. Cleveland was
the leader. while Continental Mo-
tors, lincoln and Standard were in
good demand. Urgent buying in

ly lower, but soon recovered its en-
tire loss and was established above
the previous close. British Amer
lean Tobacco was strong and

UNDERTONE IN
WHEAT HEAVY;
RALLY FIzzLES
tBy Consolidated Press.)

Chicago, March 31.-Wheat was
quiet and the undertone was heavy
today. Locals attempted to start a
rally after midday in hopes of
stampeding further covering by the
big eastern short interest. Senti-
ment was mixed There was lack
of buying power early because ca
bles failed to reflect the advance in
America yesterday, and there was
no continuation OF yesterdays short
covering. Liverpool futures were
q pence to q pence lower, increas,
ed offers of Argentine wheat being
a factor. Argentine shipments were
less than half of those a year ago
and there was an increase of 370,-
600 bushels in the visible supply of
that country. B. W. Snow estimat-
ed the winter wheat crop at $780,
100000 bushels and Goodman at
100000, 900 bushels. Last year $751;
100000 bushels were harvested.
Cash wheat basis was unchanged.
Milling and export demand for
wheat was light Weather is wet
all over the winter wheat belt.
Corn prices held almost station,
airy around opening levels. There
was some selling by cash interests
and commission houses. Locals
were playing for a belated rally
and they bought on the setbacks.
A lot of 10000 bushels of corn was
sold to exporters, but domestic
sales were light Cash corn dis
counts were Nc to 15c narrower.
Trade in oats was light. Market
was higher on bad weather at the
start, but Armour sold and this
brought out local selling and cas-
Ter prices. Receipts were light and
premiums for cash oats were bet
ter. Shipping sales were small.
Provisions lower on liquidation
and stop loss selling, Smaller pack
ers were hedging.

A large section Of the office trad

on the market from Tuesday on.
The chart, by which SO many trad
ers go, had given a bear point.
Even when Tuesdays rally came,
it was treated with skepticism. To-
day there was rush to buy by
these elements which had missed
the market, and prices were swept
forward, In some instances with
positive violence.

No hint had been given of the re-
markable overnight jump in Cast

withdrawal of selling orders along
with quite batch of buying orders

Rain and snow again hampered
the livestock trade, and many Dass
ers kept away from the pens. With
nearly 5000 stale hogs added CO the

A light supply helped the market
Tor lambs. Receipts today were at
$500 cattle. $4,000 hogs. 5000 sheep
and 1000 calves.
CATTLE.
Steers sold slowly during the
day, but values were little changed.
A small supply and plain quality
gave sellers little to do. No prime
steers were on sale. Cows and heif-
ers sold fairly well at unchanged
price levels. while calves also were
in fair demand at steady values.
Choice vealers went at S.00@S.50

DruGoods Market
BY stuart A.. VISA
iCopyrtght. lS.2.J

New York, March 31.-A firmer
tone was in evidence in the dry
goods market today. There were
standard constructions of print
cloths but demand was more evil
dent. This reflected both the strong
trend of the raw staple and the fact
that several large printers and
bleachers were showing less hes
itancy in filling requirements at
present prices. Export inquiries
for sheetings were in evidence and
the sheeting market was helped
by the firm stand taken by some
mills in declining shaded offers.
3 Raw silk showed little change Of
activity. Manufacturers still de-
clare prices must come down be-
fore they can enter the market Wig
orously. Bargain hunting was the
feature of the finished silk goods
trade.
WOOL.
Boston, March 31.-Trading was
spotty in the wool market today
with little change in the level of
prices. The opening of the car
pet manufacturers lines next week
is expected to have some influence
on buying on woods of carpet
grade. What improvement has
been evident in the demand has
done little to affect the buying of
manufacturers. The tone shown in
the Australian market continued
firm.

Bond Market
BIZ STUART p. wEsT
fCopyriEht. 1891

New York, March 31-Transac-
lions today in railway mortgages
were unquestionably the largest
and broadcast that have occurred In
the bond market during the first
three months of 1922. While prices
in the rest of the list were gener-
ally stationary, railroad issues ad-
vanced sharply, many OF them TO
their highest for over a year. It
was significant that both standard
dividend payers and low priced
bonds Joined the upward movement
which began with the publication
of February operating statements
and the reports of industrial i'm
provement from all sections OF the
country.
One of the features was the jump
of four points in the New York
Westchester and Boston AIS AT
high of 40, these bonds were up
16 points from their low of last
autumn when the New Ravens
financial outlook was decidedly
dubious. Now that the difficulties
of this system have been ironed
out, the Westchester Division Sc
curities, which carry New Ravens
guarantee has naturally assumed a
very different rating. New Ravens
own bonds, both old and new, went
up also, the per cents on the curb
gaining nearly two points. Cross
ing 40 to their best level OF the
year so far, Erie Series B, led the
advance in all the Erie bonds. st.
Louis and San Francisco issues
also broke previous high records,
the incomes particularly gaining
over two points. The favorite Mis-
souri,, Kansas and Texas adjust
ment SIS, when issued, went up to
around So, and the Seaboard Air
Line refunding As to 49, Other
Seaboard bonds did even better.
New highs were reached by Iron
Mountain, River and Gulf division

o. convertible AS and Norfolk
Southerns SIS, Southern Railw y
5's, st. Paul general As, Rio Grande
Western collateral As and Union
Pacific convertible tours. Illinois
Central 6E's were another feature.
The majority of foreign govern
ment external loans remained
steady. Mexican issues were espe-
cially active, the per cents touch
ing a fresh top and the SIS up sub
stantially. Canadian SIS of 1881
were reactionary. Liberty bonds
held firm.
