General Motors, after touching a
new high record at 1908 for the pres
ent stock was called upon to absorb
considerable profit taking and sold
down 312 points from the top, but it
later rallied to 178A for small frac-
tional net gain on the day. U. S. Steel
did not fare so well, closing / B points
lower at 1925 after having sold nearly
2 points above that figure. Among

Liberty Bonds
Grain Market

CHICAGO, March IS R.-Extensive
selling out on the part of holders tum-
bled wheat and corn down together
today to lowest prices yet this season.
Superb crop conditions for domestic
winter wheat were largely responsible
but wheat rallied after showing about
cents break from last weeks top
figures Wheat closed irregular at 38
cents net decline to X cent gain with
corn % to 13s cents down, oats rs to
% cents off, and provisions varying
from Is cents drop to rise OF 10 cents.
Setbacks in wheat began almost as
soon as the market was open. Atten-
tion quickly centered on the continued
auspicious character of crop advices at
hand, especially messages from the
southwest telling of prospects nearly
perfect with about 10 per cent increase
of acreage. 1t was asserted that Wea-
ther was just right for wheat growth,
that as rule moisture was plentiful
and that there were no signs of any
important winter killing.
For the most part rallies in wheat
came as the days trading approached
an end. Previous sellers who were in
a position to collect profits became
active on the buying side of the mar
ket and it was pointed out that Liver
pool quotations showed relative steadi-
Eess despite big shipments from south
of the equator. Besides sub-zero tenn
peratures in Canada, together with
nearly cents bushel in price de-
clines here within week tended to
make the market more two sided Talk
was current, also, at the last that in
northwestern Kansas much thin wheat
has been abandoned.
Corn was bearishly affected by con-
tinued slowness of shipping call from
the east Oats responded to the action
of corn and to word that seeding of
oats is under way in central Illinois.
Some buying of provisions resulted
from signs that downturns of hog
values would shut off supplies.

While there were no actual news
developments to account for the SELL
ing movement bearish gossip was
rampant Wall street heard rumors-
which found credence in many quar-
ters that recent strength of the high
priced industrials had been used as a
screen to hide distribution elsewhere
and that certain banks were calling
for ''sweetenng' of loans and the.
elimination of few stocks from the
loan envelopes. The weekly mercan-
tile reviews reported some irregulari-
ties in spring business, but with the
favorable factors outweighing those
Of an adverse character. Operators
for the rise professed to derive en-
couragement from the federal reserve
board statement showing gold holdings
in this country to be at the highest
level since 1924. Banks called over
$40, 100000 in loans, but new money
was freely supplied and the call money
rate held steady at per cent Time
money and commercial paper yates
were unchanged. Bear traders con-
tinued their relentless search for weak
spots and succpeded in uncovering
several before the day was over. Rela-
lively poor spring coal sales was given
as the reason for the attack on the
