corn PRICE GAIN
FAILS TO HOLD
Firmness Prevails, How
ever, Throughout Most
OF Session

CHICAGO, March N.--Evidence OF a
more friendly feeling toward the buy
ing side of the corn market became
apparent in some quarters today, but
the resulting gains failed to hold. The
close was steady at the same as yes
terday's finish to NC off. May, 7Sh0
7skc to 7SN @7sAc, with wheat un-
changed to A@%c lower, May, $1.O4b
CLOS, and July, $1.06A; oats were I'M
changed to Nc down and provisions
ranging from &c decline to rise Of &c.
Firmness, which prevailed In the corn
market throughout the greater part OF
the day, was based largely ON reports
showing widespread storm weather and
curtailment Of receipts. Various
prominent traders who recently have
been sellers were said to have become
nervous about their position and to be
leaning to the view that receipts OF
corn this week at primary points gave
Indications of a permanent let-up in the
crop movement. Talk was also current
that as soon as weather conditions
permitted farmers would make every
effort to get into field work and that
almost to zero.
Stubborn resistance to selling pres
sure prevented any decided setback OF
corn values In the final dealings, al
though pit offerings on the upturn in
prices enlarged to q considerable de-
gree. Reported slowness Of shipping
demand here and In the southwest
acted meanwhile as handicap on ef-
forts to maintain the advance.
Wheat ruled easy on account OF
favorable crop conditions, especially in
the southwest, and because of entire
lack of export business. Nevertheless,
sellers were cautious In view OF recent
sharp declines. ~
Delay to seeding gave relative firm
ness to oats.
Provisions were upheld by an ad-
vance of the hog market.

NEW ORLEANS, March M.-Dull-
ness was the principal characteristic Of
the cotton market today. Trading was
light and prices fluctuated within q
very narrow range. After an irregular
opening despite good cables and un-

October at 250sc, or 6 to II points be-
low the previous close. These levels
were the low OF the day. The close
was slightly under the high, showing a
net loss ofAone point to q net gain of
two on old crop months, and net gains
Of 6 to 8 points on new crop positions.
The weakness developed during the
morning, slight ~ It was, proved the
result of expectations of small mill
takings for the week. Although these
expectations were confirmed by tho ac-
tuaI figures which showed takings of
only 10000 bales against 227 900 last
year, the market soon rallied after they
were known and ruled quiet, but steady
during most Of the afternoon, being
sustained by expectations encouraged
by rumors that the committee Of ex-
perts Investigating the statistics Of the
department OF commerce, would mako
bullish revisions in their report sched-
uled TO be made public Monday.
The market was also supported by
reports Of good spot sales In southern
markets, denials by the heads Of the
cooperative associations that they held
400, 900 bales of cotton claiming their
holdings to be under 100000. and re-
ports from south Texas stating that
fully half the early crop planted will
have to be repianted and is therefore
sure to be- late. t-.....-..- g..
The market made a moderate up-
ward squirt in the last half hour Of

hitherto bearish, had covered his
shorts and was now on the bull side

STOCKS DISPLAY
RECOVERY SIGNS
Bears Apparently Have
Suspended Campaign To
Force Prices Lower

NEW YORK, March 21.-stock prices
showed signs OF recovery in today's
relatively quiet session, bear traoefs
apparently suspending their campaign
number of weak spots during the
morning trading. The improved tone
displayed by the market during the
afternoon was generally attributed TO
short covering.
Strength of the high priced special
ties was one of the features Of the
days trading. Ingersoll Rand, trad
ing in which is usually confined to
odd lot transactions, jumped q points,
10 200, a record high. while Woolworth
went into new high ground at 535,
closing at 1901 for a net gain OF An.
Fisher Body jumped ia points, to 22Shs'
a new top, and then slipped back to
221. Corn Products and National Lead
closed at 10S and IA, respectively, the
net gains being three points each.
While some of today's covering rep
resented the usual weekend evening up
of commitments, much of 1t was re-
ported to have been inspired by the
continuation Of remarkably low money
rates, call loans on the stock exchange
getting as low as 2la per cent. the low
est official rate since the summer OF
1918.
United States Steel common, Bald
win. Studebaker and American Can,
the so-called pivotal stocks, showed
small fractional net gains. Motors
were firm on short covering. Atlantic
Refining was hammered down points
TO 11S, a new 1924 low, but the other
oils showed a tendency to improve on
reports Of more favorable conditions
in the oil industry.

ords were established during the ses-
sion by such issues as American Sugar

bacco, the last named closing at 1929
for a net loss of points, but most
of the others made good recovery from
the days lows.
Reports that the interstate COM
merce commission might not approve
the proposed leases of the Norfolk and
Western TO the Pennsylvania sent the
former stock down nearly points.
Most of the other rails were firm,
Lackawanna climbing more than
points, to 100, the best price this year,
and number Of others gaining point
or more.
The further recovery of the French
franc to a new 1924 high, around SIC.
featured the foreign exchange mar
ket. Other rates showed a firm tone.
Call money opened at 8 per cent and
then dropped to Pa per cent. Bids for
S0-day time money were reduced to
per cent, but practically all of the
business for short dates was done on
a 4A04h per cent basis, six-months
