NEW YORK, March 23 P.-Selling
squalls again swept through today's
stock market; giving it an unsettled
appearance most of the time, but
strong buying support made it's ap-
pearance in the final hour, leaving
closing quotations irregular. Trading
showed a moderate expansion in vol
ume, with the days sales close to IA
million shares.
Early selling was influenced in part
by margin calls, the further calling
of loans with the marking up of the
renewal rate to ~ per cent, disquiet-
ing Chinese developments and pessi-
mistie commission house comment.
Operators on the long side derived
encouragement from the further in
crease in freight traffic, which crossed
the million carsmark about two months
earlier than usual although this was
due largely to heavy coal shipments in
anticipation of a prolonged strike in
bituminous fields and by the continua-
tion of high rate of steel production
on a stabilized price level
The recent sustained advance in
Delaware Lackawanna and Western
common, which scored an extreme gain
of points today by touching 17S, the
highest price in over five years, was
explained by the announcement of the
formation of the Lackawanna Securi-
ties company to take over the Glen
Alden bonds and other securities assets
of the railroad, after which the Sc
curities company stock will be dis
tributed to the railroad shareholders.

GRAIN MARKET

CHICAGO, March 23 R)-Notwith-
standing that all deliveries of grain
temporarily sank to below the sea-
sons, previous bottom levels, the finish
was at a generai acvance.
ACTIVE speculative buying set in,
based largely on indications that Ii
quidatfng sales were over and that an
upturn was due.
Wheat closed firm, u to Il cents net
higher; corn unchanged to A03s cent
up; oats unchanged 24 cent advance,
and provisions varying from cents
decline to rise of 2 cents. In par
ticular speculative purchasing of
wheat was stimulated by word that ex-
port demand for United states red win

difference a short time ago. Further-
more, Liverpool July is 10 cents above

1t was also contended that the flat

Falling off in the volume of domestic
primary arrivals of wheat, together
with firmer cash prices, tended fur
