vigorous price movements in the

DOMESTIC
CHICAGO GRAIN

CHICAGO, Feb. 90 P -Buyers
and sellers took turns sending small
lot orders into the rather turbulent
wheat pit today as prices wavered
nervously over a 1 IL cents range
and closed 1 1918 lower than yes
terday.
An early fractional rise was fol
lowed by a slump of almost a cent.
Then the market advanced l Id
IL cents to new highs for the day
only to react again before the close.
This unsettled trade reflected
pressure of loan wheat coming to
market, tagging domestic demand
for wheat and flour and virtual
stagnation of export business as we'll
as a bearish government summary
of the wheat situation. On the con.
structive side We're absence of mois-
ture in the southwest, approach of
the windy March season crop
scares. reports of wheat damage in
Russia and other sections of Europe
and war news. A decline of more
than a cent in wheat at Buenos
Aires at one stage caused some early
selling here.
The lower close carried May wheat
to $1.03-$1.02 rs and July to $1.01-
$1.00 rs. Corn was unchanged to
IA off, May Sc 1884, July 81 IA;
oats 1-8 lower to Is higher; Rye
1-8-1-2 down and lard 5-8 lower.
Statements of government farm
officials in which they expressed
themselves as puzzled by recent in
dependent strength of wheat and
cited bearish market statistics drew
much attention. They pointed out
that the prospective domestic and
world carryovers are large and U.
S. prices r substantially above
world prices, and are therefore over
an export basis except so far as SUBJ
sidy operations permit sales abroad.
Grain men here asserted domestic
crop conditions and the war situa.
ton in Europe and the Orient ap-
parently have been the basis of re-
cent buying of wheat, with i'm.
mediate supply and demand require.
ments relegated to the background.

BIG BOND ISSUES
DRAW ATTENTION
Definite Trend In Listed Is

NEW YORK, Feb. 29-R-Prin.
cipal attention in the bond market
today was devoted to new offerings
totaling $131, 900, 900 which under
writer's said received a fair recep-
ton"
Listed issues showed little change
as a rule, although there was
some demand for selected rails.
Overnight news that the Securities
and Exchange commission was be-
ginning to press utility holding
companies to begin indignation pro-
ceedings acted as a depressing in
fluence, on loans directly affected.
Underwriting managers said the
$105, 600, 900 offering of Bethlehem
Steel bonds went off in a salts.
factory manner, considering the
size of the undertaking. In mid
afternoon the short-term serials
were at a premium in over-the'
counter dealings. Late in the day
it was announced the books had
been closed on the two longer term
loans forming a part of the total.
Managers Of the Kentucky utili'
ties s26, 900, 900 offerings said they
were entirely satisfied at it's re-
ception.
A definite trend in listed bonds
was not established. A half-dozen
issues of Standard Gas & Electric
and it's parent, Standard Power &
Light yielded 1 IL to 3 points in
the curb on light offerings attri-
buted to nervousness over the
company's indignation problems.
On the big board losers of frac-
lions to a point included Portland
General Electric 4 lbs at 70, Union
Pacific 8 LIS at SO 5-S, American

Equally ahead were International
