WHEAT HAS SETBACK
ON LIVERPOOL NEWS
Forecast of Probable Larger Ship
ments From Argentina Has
Bearish Effect Today.
By the Associated Press.

CHICAGO, March 3.-Favorable
weather for domestic Winter wheat,
together with Liverpool quotations
lower than due. had an early bearish
effect today on wheat here. Liverpool
had forecast of probable enlarged
shipments from Argentina. Opening
unchanged to &c lower, Chicago wheat
underwent a moderate general set
back. Corn and oats were also easier,
corn starting unchanged to half cent
off and subsequently receding all
around. Provisions were firm.
Some trade notables took the posi-
ton today that action of the wheat
market of late strongly suggests a
balance has been reached between sup
ply and demand, neither having suffi-
cient preponderance to cause uneasi.
ness. This being so, it is asserted that
the new crop outlook will be the con.
trolling factor, and so far the outlook
for domestic Winter wheat is auspi-
ciOuS.
A steadying influence, however
which developed today regarding
wheat was talk that there had been
good overnight acceptances OF United
States offerings to Europe, and that
it will be bought at $1.75, notwith-
standing that Liverpool still quotes fu-
ture deliveries at $3.50. In this con-
nection falling off in the domestic pri.
mary movement was predicted. and it
was pointed out that British estimates
continue to include a quota from
India, although India is already i'm

INTEREST CENTERS
IN SPECIAL ISSUES
Cities Service Break Reflect
ed in Bond Market Deal
ings Today.
BY GEORGE t. HUGHES.
Special Dispatch To Tho Star.

special Dispatch TO Tho star.
NEW YORK. March 3.-Today's
bond market was made up of series
of unrelated moves in special issues.
In the first place weakness developed
in Cities Service Power and Light and
in Empire Gas and Fuel bonds coin
cident with the break in Cities Service
stock. All are securities of affiliated
companies. The Cities Service Power
and Light SIS which had closed the
preceding day at 1913 and which have
sold this year at high Of 104 broke
below 101. Empire Gas and Fuel 612s
which carry warrants to Cities Service
stock at $50 per share were down Il
point and one-half at 1924 and more
than s points under the high of the
year. Empire Gas and Fuels 712s
weakened in sympathy. In the later
trading the bonds continued to move
in accord with Cities Service stock.
The incident in the foreign list was
the selling of Polish bonds, both the
6s and the IS. Here, too, there was
recovery after the early losses. Liqui-
dation was based on published reports
of a hitch in the negotiations for the
proposed new Polish loan. An upward
movement which attracted attention
was that in Detroit United AIS. These
but today demand appeared and the
quotation was up a point at "a. An
other development was the increased
interest in sugar bonds. Price changes
were small, but the turnover was the
largest and included more issues than
in a week or more.
In the general list Delaware & Hud-
son convertible 5s were still active and
so were Erie convertible ID As, both
moving with their respective stocks.
Local transactions were mostly heavy.
High-grade bonds were firm. Kansas
City Southern IS sold above par and
New York, Chicago & st. Louis 51zs
were in active demand for time.
There was little change in United
States Government obligations pend
