Grain Market
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, February 14.-All-around
setbacks in grain values took place early
today. The majority of wheat traders
construed the Michigan eight-day bank
ing holiday as bearish factor. Failure
Of the Liverpool wheat market to fol-
low Saturdays advance here acted also
as weight on prices.
Opening Aala down, wheat afterward
dropped further Corn also started

the initial limits.
Wheat fell about cent a bushel be-
fore any power to rally appeared. Trade
was Of moderate volume. A steadying
influence on the downturn was word
of new purchases Of Argentine wheat
for China. It was announced China
had contracted with Argentine for 30,-
900 tons Of wheat, and was also con-
tracing for wheat from Australia.
Some European continental firms
were reported as predicting an increase
of demand for wheat from now on. An
Offset was talk Of cheaper offerings of
Argentine wheat in Europe. Moisture

damage from low temperatures generally
admitted but the extent Of harm in

mostly from wheat action

Junior Rail Group Displays
Weakness After Recent
Price Gain.
BY CHARLES F. SPEARE.

BpcCldi OlSpdtCH W Lie ONhl.
NEW YORK, February 14.-The weak
section Of a generally lower bond mar
ket today was in the junior rails. While
these apparently sympathized with the
decline in stocks and were Influenced
somewhat by the Michigan situation,
selling of them was probably due to
advance knowledge of that portion OF
the railroad report to be issued tomor-
row which deals with overcapitalized
railroads.
The declines in this group were
heavier than any that have recently
occurred, ranging from to 212 points.
, They were largest in Baltimore &
Ohio, Allegheny Corporation, Chesa-
peake Corporation, Chicago & North
western, Missouri Pseific, Erie and
Great Northern issues. The selling
was in greater volume than for some
time and erased a fair portion Of last
weeks advances High-grade rail bonds
were only fractionally lower.
The decline in Great Northern rs
TO new low price for the year was
associated with the request for de-
posits OF the refunding 4hs In plan
to continue the status Of the consoh-
dated mortgage and permit the exten-
sion of the bonds due on July l. The
unusual privilege was given holders OF
the refunding 4As of receiving their
semi annual interest payment three
months in advance of the due date
when they made their deposits.
There was heavy tone throughout
the rest Of the speculative list. Inter-
national Telephone & Telegraph IS
dropped over points, National Dairy
Products 5As were of nearly point
and United Drug IS lost a point. Postal
Telegraph SIS declined IA points.
American g. Foreign Power SIS, Stude-
baker Corporation IS and Columbia Gas
E Electric SIS were down from fraction
to o point.
In the foreign group the weakest
members were Argentine IS, which lost
a point, and the various German obli-
cations Australian loans were higher,
while Canadians were irregular.
The selling of United States Treasury
loans, which was persistent all last
week, continued today and brought the

New York, March 27-(UP) = Stocks lost to points today fin the dullest full session of the year.
 As in several recent sessions. American Telephone and Telegraph was the weak feature. It dropped toward 90 to new low for the year, against Q previous close of 92H and close March 3-the day be- fore the bank holiday--of 99M.
 Telephone turned acutely In the last hour when it was announced that Southern New England Tele- phone had reduced its annual dfvf- dend from $8 to $6. The loss for American Telephone would amount to only $266,000 for a year, but the cuts added to the recent casualties among the company's subsidiaries emphasized the prospect for re. auction in the American rate which is now $9 annually.
 The annual stockholders meet- ing of American Telephone is scheduled for tomorrow. No ac- ton will be taken on the dividend, but it Is anticipated President Wall ter Clifford may make some state- ment on the company's policy rela- tive to the payment.
 Following the break in Tele- phone, weakness developed in AL lied Chemical, whose directors meet tomorrow to act on the quarterly dividend. The issue broke 4 points to "A IA. American Can and Her. shey, which also will act on divi- dends tomorrow, declined. Can 54 S-4 off 1 3-4, while Hershey equaled its 1883 low at 45 off points.
 At the lows, Atchison touched AZ. off 1 5-8; Case A 1-8 off 3-4; Consolidated Gas 43 off i; Dela- ware & Hudson 52 3-4 off 1-2; New York Central IS 5-S off 3-8 and United Aircraft 202 IA off 3-4.
 Steel common ranged between 28 1-8 and 28 1-2 until the last hour when 1t broke below 28, against a previous close of 20 5s8. The preferred broke below SO, against close Saturday of 60 1-4.
 Railroad shares were unsettled by poor earnings reports for Feb- ruary now being published. The group resisted pressure, however, on anticipation of favorable legis- lation to develop shortly.
 Utilities were adversely affected by discussion of bill in the Cali- fornia legislature to reduce rates.
 There were few issues able. to move up against the trend. The strong group of the day was the gold mines where Homestake made a new high at ITO, up points from the previous close. Alaska Juneau made small gain. o. ~.

the city court. Attorney T. E. Conway, chairman of the commit tee, stated this afternoon that he has not issued any notices con- corning a meeting. If session is held 1t will not be an official town committee get-together.
 Chatting with several members of the republican town committee to-day 1t was learned that the feel ing Is general that notwftifstand- ing reported opposition and re- ported deficit of approximately $20,00O in the operation of the city court, there will be three prosecuting attorneys named. The republicans have agreed to a judge ship for John F. McGrath and want the privilege of naming two pro- scouting attorneys. They will be Attorneys Charles Summa and Mitchell G. Meyers, with Attorney Emil Hummel, an official for IS years being left out of the picture. The democrats will have Judge Edward Mascolo and either Attor- ney Joseph Neagle or John Thoms for prosecuting attorney. The democrats will name the clerk and possibly the assistant.
 Prominent republicans are pro- testing the deal, but apparently the local republican town committee will not be asked as to its opinion on the appointments. Hartford, New Haven and Washington have made all necessary arrangements and consequently there are indi- cations of smouldering fires.

Annual Dividend
 of Telephone Co
Reduced From $8 to Sc
 Per Share ..ss..

New Haven, March 27-A quar- terly dividend of $1.50 was voted at the regular meeting of the board of directors of the Southern New England Telephone company here to-day. On this basis the rate of annual dividend is reduced from $8 to $6 per share.
 For more than year there has been a month to month drop in the number of telephones and in toll traffic, according to officials of the company. In view of the. con tinued decline in income from these causes, reduction in the rate of dividend seems advisable, pending more definite indications of an upturn in general business. officials say.
 Records show that the Southern New England Telephone company has paid regular dividends since 1891 as follows: 1891 to 1895, less than $6 a year: 1896 through 1911. $6: 1912, $6.75: 1913 through 1919, z; 1920. $7.25; 1921 to date. $S. It has never paid an extra dividend.
