FIGHT
is VISUALIZED
IN AUTO FIELD

NEW YORK, March 22. "A gigantic
struggle for supremacy in the auto
mobile field, likely to result in sew
eral mergers and possibly some cas-
ualties among the motor car COM
panies of the country, was visualized
in Wall street today as result of
the announcement that William @
Durant had decided to devote his en-
tire time to the motor interests and
Detroit reports that the Ford Motor
is in the market for ma
chinery to change over plants pre-
paratory to the introduction of new
line of Ford cars
While all motor companies are en-
gagged in contest for popular favor,
which has been intensified by recent
price, cuts and the Introduction Of
new models, the big. battle is expected
to be staged in the low priced field,
with General Motors sponsoring the
Chevrolet car and Henry Ford back
ing the car bearing his own name
as the chief competitors. While an
of rFord's plans has been
Wal street heard that five
or six equipment companies Were
bidding for the new business which
he was expected to place within the
next week or two.
Durant withheld further comment
on his plans until his promised state
ment for April Z, but his assistants
indicated that his energies would be
centered on the Star line in the light
six field.
SO keen has become the competition
leading manufacturers that
further price cuts, particularly by
some of the smaller units would not
be surprising. Merger talk has in
volved practically all of the smaller
c o m p a nj es, with Packard, Mack
Trucks, Dodge, Chandler Celeveland,
Chrysler, Pierce-Arrow, Hudson and
many others all mentioned as likely
units in new combinations.

WARN FARMERS
AGAINST CROP
OVERS SURPLUS


w A S H N G r ON, March % Up
Farmers were warned today by the
department of agriculture that their
intentions to plant this year larger
areas Of certain crops, as Indicated
by the March 1 report, are not war
ranted by the general agricultural
outlook "The slightly larger acre.
age of the principal crops,' said the
departments statement; is not de-

shifts in acreage contemplated may

Farmers plans to plant as much
corn as last year would result in
a continuation of the present level
of corn prices.

Grain Market

CHICAGO, March % Up. ~ Grain
prices rivaled Jack and Jill today in
regard to quick tumbling. A rush of
liquidating sales overwhelmed the
trading pits during the last hour, and
all deliveries of wheat corn and oats
went headlong to the lowest quotations
yet this season. Lack of any adequate
buying support was the chief apparent
influence.
Wheat closed weak, 2s cents to p
cents net lower; corn 1 to 1902 cents
down; oats rs cents to 15s cents off,
and provisions varying from Z cents
decline to rise of 10 cents. General
selling began first in the corn market
and spread rapidly to oats and wheat.
The stampede to sell on the part of
holders seems to have been impending
for several days, many standing orders
to unload and thus put stop to losses
being, automatically brought into ac-
tion. Among the principal sellers of
corn were some of the foremost traders
who heretofore had been friendly to
higher prices Failure Of any i'm
provement in cash demand for corn
here, Notwithstanding that receipts
were light, had much to do with the
right about facesof corn bulls.
Offerings of corn from territory east
of Chicago had continued to be lower
than the prices current here, and this
fact, together with large stocks on
hand, appeared to have undermined
confidence not only in the corn market
but in other grain as well. Wheat,
oats and rye held relatively firm early,
and then followed corn down hill.
Unusually favorable crop conditions
throughout the domestic wheat belt
contributed to the general weakness
which developed. Assertions were also
made that the United States wheat vis-
ibIe supply can decrease 100000 bu-
shells a week hereafter and yet retain
on July / the same carryover as in
1925. World stocks of wheat increased
6,536,000 bushels for the week and are
25S, 100000 bushels, against 200, ,O00,0
a year ago. Export sales from North
America today were 100000 bushels of
wheat and $50, 900 bushels of rye.
Reports of delays to oats seeding had
only a transient sustaining influence
on the oats market.
Provisions were helped by an upturn
in hog values.

high school yesterday AFTERNOON by
trimming the seniors, IS to 5, in a game
