Bond Market Shows Small Net Declines

NEW YORK. March 3.-Although there were several strong spots in today's bond market, the majority of the active issues Confirmation of reports that much of the recent selling pressure came from larger institutions furnished by today's re- port of the 71S member banks of the fed eral reserve system showing conditions of February 21. which revealed a substan- tial reduction in the holdings of both gov ernment and corporate securities.
 Strength of the Mexican issues in reflec- tion of the progress being made in connec- ton with the service on the national debt was the feature of the foreign list. Other active liens in hat group moved irregularly within narrow limits.
 The sharp advance in railroad stocks failed to elicit much response from the bonds of those carriers although gains of 4 to h were registered by Union Pa cific As. Norfolk and Western convertible 6s, Atchison adjustment As and Denver and Rio Grande consolidated As. How ever. losses of about the same amount were recorded by St. Louis, Iron Mountain and Southern 4s River and Gulf division; New York Central 4s. Rock Island As, Nir- ginia Railways 6s and Western Mary land Is.
 Except for decline of point in Cerro De Pasco Ss. most of the losses in the in ductrial division were held to fractions
 Trading in United States government se- curities continued irregular pending an nouncement of the terms of the govern ment's new financing. Todays fluctua- tons were limited to a radius of Sc on 100. Latest Wall street reports indicate loan will be $300000. 900. but opinion varies widely as to the probable rate of interest.

Cotton Goods Actiue DuringWe 'sTrading

NEW YORK, March 3.--Cotton goods markets have been firm and moderately active in unfinished lines. Finished goods have continued generally strong with some further advances named on finished cloths. Dress ginghams for fall have been priced by the largest producer and have sold freely on the basis of last seasons prices with fall dating granted. Other lines sold on shorter terms and at some advances have also been bought freely. Discounts have been shortened some wide sheet placed at value preliminary to an ad- vance. Denims for spot delivery com mand a substantial premium over the prices at which many contracts are run ming. Interest has been increasingly steady in new lines of novelty and Egyp- tian printed fabrics for spring delivery. Linings and drapery fabrics have also been moving better. The demand for printed flannellettes for fall has been better than for some seasons past. Print cloths have advanced a little. but sheetings and combed yarns have remained about stationary with sales light Heavy goods for tire purposes, automobile uses and cotton duck for general purposes have continued very firm Production is at capacity ratio. Wage demands have been made by work CTS in eastern centers and have not yet been finally acted on. Prices current in primary channels are as follows: Print cloths, 2S-inch, 64x64s Shsc; 64x60s.

Sharp Upturn Seen In Price of Stocks

NEW YORK. March s.-Chief interest of the financial community this week wa. divided between the sharp upturn in the prices of industrial stocks carrying the averages to the highest level since the spying of 1920. and sales of spot and old crop cotton above 30lac pound, also the highest prices recorded in three years Bond prices and foreign exchange rates showed only nominal fluctuations
 While the impetus for the advance in stock prices was furnished by operations Of pool and professional traders it was founded on the rising tendency of commod- lty prices the market already having wit messed 17c copper, 6 i2c raw and Sc refined sugar. and substantially higher prices for zine. lead. steel and iron products tex tiles and large number of other com modities.
 Further indications of trade and business improvement also are furnished by a con tinuation of record loadings. a large increase in bank cearings operations of steel mills at go per cent of capacity. sumption of dividends by the Anaconda Copper Mining company, doubling of the Utah Copper dividend and a marked de- crease In business failures, which amount ed to approximately 25 per cent in the first two months of the year below the corresponding months last year.

Higher Wheat Prices
 Result From Passage Of Farm Credits BiU

CHICAGO. March s.-Higher prices in the wheat market this week have largely resulted from passage of the farm credits blil and from uneasiness regarding dam age to the winter crop. Compared with a week ago. wheat this morning showed K to lesc gain in value was ss O 7Sc up; oats up Ac to l. q asc. and provisions varying from 1c decline to rise of 10c
 Even though passage of the farm cred us Dill was generally anticipated by whea [, traders, the market bulged to a noticeable extent after announcement was made that he' House had voted in favor of he meas ure. This was the more remarkable in view of the fact that liberal profit taking sales were simultaneously being made for spectators who had used foresight as to what action would be taken by Congress Much of the power of the market to absorb selling appeared to be due to the govern ment weekly crop report showing i'll ef- west as well as damage elsewhere from cold.
 Assertions that farm reserves of corn would total about 200, 900 900 bushels less than in general had been looked for count ed as a further bulish factor in the wheat market, besides tending to lift prices of corn and oats, The estimate, if correct meant a reduction of more than 400. 000,- 900 bushels compared with last years farm reserves and of about 700 GOO .000 bushels compared with two years ago.
 Provisions averaged higher with hog values. and as 2 consequence of some large buying for Europe, Germany in particular.

Steel Market Is Now In Strong Position

NEW YORK, March 3-The steel mar lset Is in very strong position. con spicuously active demand for plates and sheets is noted from railroads and auto manufacturers, we'll as for structural work of all kinds. Production. although somewhat larger. is still hampered by transportation and labor conditions, and is not keeping pace with the demand. Buyers of pig iron are showing less timidity and the market has a strong upward tendency.
 Copper has shown continued activity with sales reported at 16M Mc and produc- CTS asking 17c toward the end of the week. The strength is generally attributed to a conducted active demand for domestic consumption and strong supply situa- ton.
 Tin scored further violent advance through covering of speculative short ac- counts. prompted by favorable monthly statistics and fears of curtailed produc- tion in the Malay states.
 Lead ruled stronger owing to continued heavy consumption and easiness of fur ther supplies in absence of new sources of production.
 Zinc continues strong with good inquiry for both domestic and export account ow- ing to the bullish statistical position.
 Anthony strong with good demand.
