tumbled wheat down almost 2 cents a
bushel today to the lowest level since
February 6.
All deliveries both of corn and oats
broke season bottom price records, and
May corn sold at levels unequaled for
several years. Stock market weakness
and associated uncertainties were largely
responsible.
Unfavorable Eastern financial develop
mentS tended noticeably to increase
selling of wheat. Prices slipped about a
cent bushel before the market steadied.
Particular attention was given to the
triple bank holiday declared in Mary
land.
Showers in Oklahoma and Texas,
where drought has been acute, con-
tributed to bearish sentiment regarding
wheat. No moisture relief was shown
elsewhere, and it was pointed out that
snow covering throughout domestic
Winter wheat territory had practically
disappeared. Buying power, however
was reduced almost to the vanishing
point at times and as rule price rallies
were feeble.
Moderate liquidating sales by some
holders of corn led to automatic eXecu-
ton of stop-loss orders, with all de-
liveries outdoing the seasons previous
bottom prices. Oats sagged with corn.
The provision market was nominal.
Wheat closed unsettled, Is to 1la

NEW YORK, February 25-Compe-

versaticns between President-elect
Roosevelt and the British Ambassador

Although no definite agreement i
understood to have been reached and

good policy for the United States at
least to give serious thought to the
advantages which are likely to accrue
from a reconsideration of war debts in
the light of developments within recent
years and existing conditions, rather
than insist on debtors carrying out
provisions of agreements which may
have seemed equitable decade ago.

All commodities registered a moderate
