GRAIN MARKET

CHICAGO, March Q 1R-Speculative
buying based largely on unttVoraole
reports about domestic winter crop
conditions did much to bring about
strong finish in the wheat market TO-
day Incidentally, rye established q
new all around high price record lor
the season. Barley likewise reached a
new top level.
Closing quotations on wheat were
firm, &c to 7sc net higher, corn at a
shade to &c advance, oats unchanged
to 1ac off and provisions varying from
7c decline to rise of 15c.
Upturns in wheat came chiefly IN
the final hour and were in decided
contrast with an early down trend tffai
accompanied weakness at Liverpool
Declines abroad were ascribed 10 a
bearish construction placed on prlaate
reports concerning farm reserve STOCKS
in the United States This factor mao
relatively little effect here, though and
as the day progressed it was more and
more apparent that the outlook for the
new domestic crop was the main IN
fluence.
Increasing attention was given re-
ports pointing to unusually extensive
winter killing of wheat east OF the
Mississippi. Current advances indl'
Gated heavy loss in acreage, especially
/ in the red winter wheat belt. Mean.
while milling demand here for all
grades of wheat was good with rec
winter selling at the highest premium
on the crop. An additional bullisf
circumstance was the fact that wheal
deliveries today on Chicago marke'
contracts amounted to practically notn-
/ ing.

holders came out on all the rallies

CO-OPERATTVES
ASK EXEMPTION
IN CAPPER CASE

WASHINGTON, March 2 R)--Pro-
posals sponsored by livestock growers
who use the Kansas City and St
Louis public stock yards, designed
to bring these private yards under
federal control on the ground that
they are used to beat down prices
on the public markets, met with de-
cided objections today before the
senate agriculture committee. They
came from growers in other sections
of the country who expressed fear
that their own cooperative marketing
operations would be impaired.
Senator Capper, republican, Kansas
who introduced the bill at the request
of a group of co-operatives interested
particularly in the hog business IN
Kansas. Missouri, Nebraska and sur
rounding territory, presented amend
ments designed to exempt co-opera-
tive livestock shipping associations
from its terms. The opponents OF the
legislation, however, found 1t stll
Objectionable because OF what they
described as the blanket grant" Of
unlimited power OF control Wnlcn
would be vested in the secretary OF
agriculture.
The stock growers who testified
today were from Texas, Wyoming
Utah, Colorado, Nebraska, Ohio anc
number OF other states. They
argued that the bill was intended
primarily to prevent the packer
owned Mistletoe yard at Kansas CitN
! from being used, through direct buy
ing. to influence the market price
of hogs, yet might subject growers
co-operatives generally TO serious
difficulties.
''The problem sought 10 be cor
rected seems to be sectional" SAT-
Vernon Metcalf, Reno, Nevada, sec
retary of it's new livestock association
He added that while he sympathizet
with the Kansas City area growers
The was opposed to such grant Q
authority to the secretary OF agrl
culture as the bill set out.
"We object to these broad, regula
| torv powers but have no objection
to specific laws to correct evils tina

bership of 25O,OOO, also held that tn
purposes of the bill were sectlons
and not national.

NEW YORK, March 2 up - Heavy
buying, of Geneaal Motors common
which advanced 2 points to 139h,
duplicating the years high, featured
an otherwise dull and colorless stock
market today. The demand for motors
was inspired by predictions Of record
breaking first quarter sales and earn
ings, estimated in some quarters as
high as 25 per cent above the corre-
spending period of last year.
The general market ,drifted rather
aimlessly, although a reduction in the
call money rate from Az to AZ per
cent with funds available IN the out
side market as low as 4, Nended tC
stimulate buying for both accounts in
late trading. Early selling apparently
was based on the disappointingly small
decrease in broker loans last week, but
good support was Forthcoming for most
Of the standard rails and industrials
although u. S. Steel common dipped
to a new low level for the year at
1875, and then rallied above 1873.
The weekly mercantile reviews re-
uorted further irregularity in the gen
eral business situation with the total
volume running slightly below the cor
responding period of last year. Widely
divergent views on the future trend OF
stock prices have developed among the
ldading commission houses, but most
of them continue to advise caution in
the making of new commitments which
probably explains the recently reduced
volume of trading. Today's sales ran
