MARKET NEWS
WHEAT MART
is FIRMER
Better in Sympathy with
Liverpool Strength

Chicago, Mar 17.--Although in
sympathy with Liverpool quotations
the wheat market here showed firm
ness at the start in today's dealings.
The declines quickly took place.
Traders appeared to be impressed
more with improved prospects for
domestic winter wheat than By news
from Europe. The opening which
varied from unchanged figures to 3-s
cents higher, May Sl.06 SO to 3l.0G
5-S and July $l.O7 l5 to 3-S were fol
lowed by Il moderate setback.
Later the market advanced in
sympathy with corn. Wheat closed
firm, one eighth to three eighths net
higher, May $l.OGl2 to $l.OG5s and
July SLOTS to $l.07R.

BUTTER STEADIES ~
 AT END OF WEEK
Market, However, Is Sensitive
 And Unsettled

CHICAGO, March S.-Butter markets became steadier after a decline during the week. The situation was, however, even with the better feeling, a sensi- tive and unsettled one. The general trend of the markets from now until the spring flush under normal condi- tions will be toward lower levels. Un. less conditions indicate a shortage of future supplies for the demand at ex- isting price levels purchases will be made against immediate requirements only.
 On March 1, total stocks amounted to only 9,974,000 pounds, compared with the. five-year average of over 21, 1,0O0,- 900 pounds. For the time being, the importations of butter, especially from Denmark, have been reduced. Imports at New York amounted to only 4,000 boxes Argentine, 972 casks Danish and four barrels of Italian butter. Be- cause of the relatively high Danish asking prices for future shipment, only small purchases have. been made re- gently. Considerable quantities of Ar genuine butter will arrive, but these will not affect the market for fine domestic, Z

VACCINATE 1000 CHILDREN Health Authorities Offer Free Treat. ment At City Hall

Every public school in Birmingham will have been visited by health de- pertinent workers next week when over 1000 children will have been vaccinated since January 1, Dr. J. D. Bowling, health officer announced Saturday.
 However, the work will not stop with this. According to Dowing, some schools must be again visited to catch the children who have entered school late or who missed vaccination on the first round because of absence through illness.
 Health workers have been particular ly anxious to get every vaccinated be- cause of the prevalence of smallpox in Birmingham since the first of the year. School children must show scar or record of vaccination or be dismissed from school.

MIDWEEK RALLY IS <
 OFFSET BY DROPS
Market Weakens Because Of
 Disappointing Lancashire News

NEW YORK, March S.-After selling
 off to 27.5oc for May contracts Mon day, the cotton market rallied during the middle of the week on covering. For time, rather a better feeling ap- peared to be developing and prices showed considerable strength Thurs day, when contracts for May delivery
 sold up ito 29.23c, Or 16S points from the lowest. This advance was pro- noted by expectations of a prompt
 settlement of the labor troubles in
 Lancashire talk of rather a better demand for. cotton goods out of stocks and complaints that wet weather in the south was causing a further delay in farm work. Much of the buying was attributed to covering, however, and the market weakened again today because of disappointing news from ing of advanced prices for cotton goods in Fall River had checked busi- ness. May contracts sold back to near ly the 28c level this afternoon, when the market was nervous and unsettled. According to latest advices, master
 cotton spinners at the. conference in Manchester yesterday served notice on the workers that if the strike at one of the smaller Royton mills was not terminated within seven days, there would be lockout involving 150,00O operatives. The action of the Liver pool market did not seem to show much apprehension of such an out come but the uncertainty evidently had an>unsettling effect on sentiment in the local market. The continued weakness of French francs was another disturb ing feature toward the end of the | week, but most brokers attributed the decline to disappointment by recent buyers over the failure of demand to broaden more importantly on the mid week rally. The first of .the private l crop reports to make its appearance this season was published on Thurs. day, estimating farmers intentions as pointing to an increase of about 3.4 per cent in the acreage planted this season. This figure did not seem fal out of line with recent Ideas and had little. if any, effect on. the market
 There were reports. this morning that two or three of the Fall River mills 1 which have been closed would resume operations on Monday, but, according to private advices, only for a short ] period. Sales of print cloths in the Fall River market for the week were estimated at 10000, pieces. Liverpoo

STEEL SALES SHORT
 OF PACE EXPECTED
Pig Iron ys Quiet With Market
 About Steady

NEW YORK, March s.-DespIte con- tinued active buying of steel in some quarters, the evident feeling of con- servatism in many directions and the fact that many buyers are not making purchases much in excess of immediate requirements are causing some fiery- ousness relative to the future of the market. .s t., a'Nr
 Sales are not expanding nor keeping up quite as well as had been expected, and while prices are generally well maintained, there have been conces- sions offered. Pig iron was quiet, and as production was liberal, the under tone of the market was only about steady, even though producers were not inclined to make concessions.
 Copper has been decidedly firmer advancing to the 14-cent level, with some producers asking slight advances above that figure for later deliveries. The advance has been promoted by talk nothing definite has developed in that connection, 1t Is said that several coni- panies have reduction of output under consideration. These reports, combined with recent firmness in. London, have been attended by an increased inquiry for both domestic consumption and ex- port, and considerable business has been reported at the higher prices. The tin market was higher, but 1t did not fully respond to the strength in Lon don. Dealers have been fair buyers of March. but consumers are reluctant to follow the advance.
 Lead remains in a healthy position. Arrivals of Mexican metal have eased the situation somewhat, but consump- tive needs remain large and prospects of increased production are uncertain.
 Zinc prices declined sharply owing to a very slow consuming demand and supplies in excess of present require ments.
 Antimony continues firm. Offers from first hands are very small and holdings in second hands are also, light.

STOCK LETTERS

NEW YORK, March s.--The market basN not been very active today, but lsomewhat varied in results. The lead ing stocks like Steel, Can, Stakeholder and some of the rails have been reac- .tonary, whereas the oils and sugars have been firm.
