Grain Market

CHICAGO, March 21 (R.-Grain mar
kets rallied at the last today after
wheat and corn had touched new low
were current that United States wihter
wheat was underselling wheat from
Argentina and that for at least the
time being the Canadian growers pool
had ceased to offer wheat abroad.
Closing quotations on wheat were
unsettled at the same as Saturdays
finish to u cents higher; corn un-
changed to 3s cent up; oats unchanged
to Il cent advance, and provisions un-
changed to rise of 10 cents.
Rallies in the wheat market began
to develop when it was pointed out
that prices had descended cents a
bushel under the quotations current a
fortnight ago. Under such circum-
stances many traders leaned to the
view that bear news had been dis
counted and that recovery was to be
expected. Relative firmnSss of Liver
pool quotations despite big increase
of the amount of wheat on ocean
passage was also a steadying factor
Domestic cash demand for wheat
showed little improvement today
On the other hand, $4,000 bushels de-
crease of the United States visible
supply total was less than had been
looked for. Export business in North
American wheat amounted to only
300,0 900 bushels and world shipments
were well above expectation. Much of
the selling today, which carried wheat
down to the lowest prices yet this sea-
son, came from houses with connec-
tions northwest and southwest and
was regarded as reflecting specially
favorable conditions both for spring
and winter wheat.
slightly better shipping demand
helped to rally the corn market. Be-
sides, the corn visible SUPPLY increased
only 10000 bushels, and a further fall
ing off in the movement is expected.
No pressure to sell was apparent in
the oats trade. Provisions were re-
sponsive to upturns in hog values and
in cotton seed oil.

STOCK MARKET
SHOWS REVERSAL
OF FORM MONDAY
(By the Associated Press)
Total stock sales 1,S37,10O shares.

NEW YORK, March 21 P.-The
stock market displayed a complete re-
versal of form today, selling down ra-
ther sharply in the morning, when
pressure was renewed against a num-
Der of industrials and specialties, but
rallying briskly later under the leader
ship of the high-grade rails. Many
stocks moved counter to the general
trend throughout the day, with the re-
sult that final quotations disclosed
considerable irregularity. Trading did
not maintain the active pace set in the
closing days of last week
Outside the stocks, chief speculative
interest centers in the rally of $3.50
to SO bale in cotton following the
publication of the census bureau esti-
mate on ginnings. This showed only
17,910,25S bales, as against the Decem-
Der estimate of 1S,61&OO0, the widest
discrepancy in the lastite years. The
trade had expected the actual figures
to be close to the December estimate.
Other commodities showed little
change.
The shifting of speculative interest
from the industrials to the rails in the
stock market was familiar maneuver

staged by professional operators when
ever one group shows signs of firing.
1T was not associated with anything in
the days news, although the attractive
return provided by many high grade
railroad stocks as compared with the
current yield on high grade bonds was
advanced as treason" for the accumu-
lation of the carrier stocks. The usual
merger and dividend rumors were in
circulation, but continued to lack con-
firmation.
From a stock market standpoint, two
of the most interesting developments
of the day took place after the close.
One was the publication of the weekly
federal reserve bank statement on
brokers' statement an increase of $2,-
65S,000 in the week ended last Wednes-
day, and the other was the announce
ment that William c. Durant, who has
been prominently identified with sew
eral important market operations in
the last few years, proposes to devote
his entire time to his motor interests.
Call money held steady at per cent
all day and there was no change in
time money and commercial paper.
Atchison again came to the fore as
a market leader, scoring an extreme
gain of over six points, most of which
was retained by touching 179M. Not
withstanding President Storey's recent
conservative remarks on dividend pol
icy, the heavy buying of this stock re-
vived talk of special distribution.
Norfolk and Western, the floating
supply of which has been reduced by
