GRAIN MARKET

CHICAGO, April 3.-Forced down
by heavy selling, corn underwent a
notable setback in value. today at
the last whereas wheat rallied from
an early decline. Corn for May de-
livery touched the lowest price yet
this season. Eastern interests that
are reported to be short of wheat
were said to be the chief sellers or
corn.
Closing quotations on corn were
unsettled, 1%c to 2Ac net lower,
May 71%c to 71hc. Wheat finished
firm, unchanged to 5sc higher, May
(new) S1.56H to $1.56A and July
$1.S3% to $1.34; oats Nc to as q nc
off, and provisions at 15c to 27c de-
cline.
For the first time in weeks, total
liquidation appeared to have taken
place in corn future deliveries, ac-
cording to one authority, there has
been a large scattered holding of
corn futures, the owners of which
have unloaded, firing Of prolonged
wait of late for an expected ad-
vance. Talk was also current that
although stormy weather, bad roads
and other factors have prevented any
big movement of corn from the coun-
try the amount of corn in sight is
considerably in excess of immediate
needs. Texas demand for corn is re-
ported as having been materially re-
duced by excellent pasturage about
three weeks earlier than usual

WEEKLY FINANCIAL

NEW YORK, April 3.-This has
been a week of contrasts in the fl
nancial and securities markets stock
prices crashed to new low levels for
the year almost coincident with rev
ports of record breaking reports by
several large companies.
French francs sank to the lowest
level ever recorded on the eve Of the
French chamber of deputies adoption
of a tax bill, practically bringing to
an end a two-year struggle over the
finances of the country which has
brought about several changes of
government. Belgian francs also
touched a new bottom.
Wheat futures dropped &c to &c a
bushel, the May option closing at
$1.56A, despite the fact that the be-
ginning of the harvest season this
fall probably will see the smallest
domestic carry-over in years. Al
though cotton exports have shown a
marked falling off, and the domestic
textile situation is still clouded with
uncertainty, coSton futures recorded
slight gains. The main tendency OF
commodity prices has been downward
for about three months, according to
several of the popular indices, the
present general level being about the
lowesa since October, 1924.
Despite October criticisms of the
too many undigested securities as
the causes for the lack of securities
buyer power, new bond offerings to
date this year have averaged nearly
$780, 100000 weekly, this weeks ag
grega4e being $46,OOO,OOO despite this
big break in the market.

IDEAL CLIMATE
CLUB DIRECTORS
MEET MONDAY

Results of a successful week of
canvassing and plans for another
week which it is hoped will yield
even better returns will occupy the
time of the directors of the Ideal
Climate club of Douglas at the reg
ular weekly meeting to be held at
the local chamber of commerce Of
flee Monday afternoon at 4:30 o'clock,
Latest reports on the financial
drive which are unofficial but in
dicative of the fine response which
the club is receiving on all sides,
place the fund already raised for the
first years work at well over $4,000
with much canvassing still to be
done.
At last weeks meeting, commt~
tee of which A. B. Packard is chair.
man. was named to consider all
phases of the question OF incorpor
ating the Ideal Climate club and this
body will officially report it's find
ings to the board of directors to-
morrow afternoon. 1t is believed
that the bylaws committee will also
have something to offer since it is
ready to present the bylaws of the
club as soon as the Incorporation is
sue is settled.
All but two of the 25 directors re-
ported at the meeting last Monday
afternoon and it is hoped that the
attendance Monday at 1870 will even
better that record Much favorable
comment has been heard on all sides
during the past week on the determi-
nation of the Ideal Climate club and
of the chamber of commerce to work
through the office and organization
of the chamber. This issue was set
tied at last Mondays meeting when
the club directors voted to accept the
offer of the chamber in regard to the
total had more or less to do with
the late upturn in wheat prices, and
so likewise did weekend evening up
of speculative interests. Besides,
there was buying which suggested
removal of Canadian export hedges
In addition, messages from the sea-
board told of 100000 bushels of Am
Der Durhum wheat having been taken
for shipment to Europe.
Exceptionally favorable crop condi-
tions led to rather free selling of
wheat early, and carried the market
down grade until near the end of the
day. On the decline September de-
livery touched a new low price rec4
ord for the season.
Seeding delays kept the oats mar"
ket relatively steady except for
late sag owing to corn weakness.
Provisions were depressed in view
of the fact that stocks of lard here
show twice the increase which was
expected for the last half of March.

the targets of selling attack. Wool
