CHICAGO, March Is. = Notwith~
standing late rallies today in the
wheat market here, prices ruled low
er, chiefly as a result of unexpected
weakness of values at Liverpool and
nervousness over tension in the
league of nations council. Chicago
closing prices for wheat were un-
settled at 3s to &c net decline, May
(new) $1.65A to $1.65h and July
SLABS to $1.425s, corn &c to 5sc off
oats a shade to B@Ac down, and
provisions unchanged to 12c lower.
Rallying power which showed it,
self in the wheat market especially
near the end of the day, was asso-
ciated with gossip that the Canadian
growers pool had sold 100000 bush
els of wheat for export. There was
also a decrease of about 1,683,000
bushels in the. Canadian wheat Wis.
ible supply total, as well as fall
ing off of 1,8SO,O0O in the United
States visible supply. Extreme
smallness of contract stocks of wheat
in Chicago tended also to help the
market here to recover from the
Liverpool, which carried British
prices down to &c discount as COM
pared with Chicago May delivery.
One of the striking developments
in the wheat trade was the fact that
the Minneapolis market went to near
ly a basis at which profitable ship
ments could be made from Mime
apolis to Chicago. Generally favor
able crop reports from domestic win
ter wheat southwest acted also as q
handicap to buyers. Domestic pri
mary receipts, too, were a little
larger, and "a slowing up of flour de-
mand was apparent. On the other
hand, world shipments of wheat werc

ocean passage showed considerable
of a decrease.

An extreme break of nearly SO

the reactionary foreign exchange

presumably was inspired by reports

[By p1sparcn A. p. wirel


NEW YORK, March Is. Wide
spread rumors that one of the largest
of the Florida promotion companies
was in financial straits, which have
been in circulation for several days,
created sufficient uneasiness in Wall
street today to bring about heavy
liquidation of some of the southern
railroad shares.
Atlantic Coast Line broke 13 III
points to 2O8, and then rallied to 215;
SeabOard Air Line common dropped
5A to S3%, and snapped back to
SO, and the preferred closed IA lower
at 37.%, the minimum quotations in
all cases representing new low rec
ords for the year. Wall street heard
all sorts of stories regarding Florida
conditions, including reports that real
estate mortgages were being offered
at a substantial discount below their
face value, and that the winter sea-
son in some of the prominent re-
sorts had been cut short by the early
exodus of northern vacationists. Some
of the large real estate developments
also were reported to be having diff
ficulty in meeting their commit
ments, but these lacked official con-
firmation.
While bankers generally declined
to comment publicly on the situa-
tion, it is known that they have been
urging extreme caution for the last
few months and that in some cases
they have recommended the restric-
tion of development programs, not
only in Florida, but elsewhere.
