larger than last Monday, but about 1,000
ahurt of two weeks ago, and a few hundred
smaller than for the corresponding Monday
last yvar.

as the reason for their bearlshness.
One or two of the packers raised their
hands slowly and whan they finally bought
their Aral hogs It waa at ngurea that wore
not over tljioe lowjr and In acme cases
only flat lo lower. Before much was
done thla way. though, bids altoued back

Lhe few days of soft weather, by
reducing the amount of coniumption,
relieved the fuel situation to such an
extent that the prospect of a coal

When the warm weather sets in,
though not generally known, the sup

Cash Grain Situation is Very
Dull Demand is Quiet
and Futures Decline.
WHEAT SUFFERS BIG DROP
Omaha. March 12, 1917.
The local receipts of grafn were fairly
good today, but the cash grain situation
was very dull on account of the sharp de
cline In futures and also because of the de
mand, which waa unusually quiet.
With the exception of the millers there
were hardly any buyers In the market for
wheat and up to noon there was not one
car of wheat reported sold.
The corn market was considerably more
active than wheat, but the demand In this
market seemed to be mainly for corn in
foreign system cars.
Oats was the best seller on the list, and
while the run of this cereal was rather
large, the demand was fairly active and a
pretty good percentage of the samples were
disposed of at prices ruling from l'c to 2c
lower.
, Tho top of today's market on white
corn, which was quoted at a premium, was
$1.04 on the No. 2 grade. The commercial
grades of yellow corn were quoted at $1.02
01.03 '4, and the unto grade of mixed
brought $1.0201.02.
The No. 2 grade of oats was the heaviest
seller In the oats market and was quoted
at &7ii0SSKc, while No. 4 white waa aold
at 670 67 4ic.
Rye waa fairly active at a 4c decline and
barley was very quiet at unchanged prices.
Clearances were, wheat and flour equal
to 1,303,000 bUHhels; corn, 298,000 bushels;
outs. 316,000 bushels.
Primary wheat receipts were 1,414,000
bUHhels, and shipment 473,000 bushels
against receipts of 1,774,000 bushels, and
ilpmenta of KS.OOO bushels last year.

If, and shipments 489,000 bushels against
receipts of 1,271,000 bushels, and ahlpmenta
of 068,000 bushels last year.

The future grain situation was very bear
ish, rather large price losses were sustained
all markets.
The report that the Adamson eight-hour
law would probably ho declared unconsti
tutional caused a heavy selling pressure by
shorts, which forced a 6c break In May
wheat and a 3o drop In the July option.
Corn opened at about c under Satur
day's close and declined about lo during
the soaslon, while July corn closed lc
lower.
The local trade was fairly active and
waa confined chiefly to wheat and corn,
there being very little trade In oats, and
that market followed wheat and corn on
the decline, the May article closing c
lower and the July closing 18 lower.

CHICAGO RAIN AND PROVISIONS.
Prospect of Rail Strike and Rain In Kansas
Causa Drop; In Wheat.
Chicago. March II. Severe breaks In the
Value of wheat, accompanied by almost
frantic dashes to sell, resulted chiefly from
prospects of widespread labor difficulties
on the railroads. After an extreme descent
of 7o a bushel the market closed seml
demorallxed 3060 net lower, with May
at 91.8001.30 and July at $1.6201.53.
Corn finished 1010 down, oata off 1
0io and provisions ranging irom 220
decline to a rise of 6c.
From the very beginning strike talk
prompted bear pressure on the wheat mar
ket and aa quotations gave way more and
mors without encountering any material
support, the rush to unload became Increas
ingly violent. At first the bulls had en
deavored to make capital out of adverse
crop reports based on lack of moisture in
the southwest and west, but were soon
checkmated by news of rain and snow
throughout Kansas and Nebraska. Absence
of foreign buying added to the discourage
ment of 'holders, whose anxiety over sub
marine dangers to. shipping appeared for
the moment to be emphasised rather than
diminished by official notice that American
ships In the German sumarlna tone would
carry armed guards and that belltgeront
merchantmen, clearing from United States
ports could mount guns fort as well aa
aft.
Notwithstanding a substantial decrease In
the domestic visible supply total, the wheat
market plunged downward most rapidly
in the final hours of the session. It was
not until the May option had fallen To
to $1.79 that even a little power to rally
developed in prices. Knowledge that the
United States supreme court had again
postponed s decision on the Adamson law
to establish an tight-hour day for railroad
employes esemed to be acting as a decided
bearish Influence as the day came 'to an
end. Surmises that were current also that
new peaco suggestions might result from

NEW YORK STOCKS
Eails Are Dominant Feature of
the Day's Erratic
Market.
ADVANCES SUBSTANTIAL
New York, March 12. Rails were the
dominant features of toilay's erratic market,
the activity and strength of that group af
fording a strlkln. contr&st to their Inertia
of recent weeks. Substantial advances were
made by a variety of transportation s'.artts,
but coalers sh.ow ;d to greater advantage,
Reading scoring an extreme gain of .1
points to 97 points, with 1 to points
for Norfolk and Western, Chenaeako A
Ohio, Baltimore ft Ohio, Erie, wnecilng ft
Lake Erie common and : referred and West
ern Maryland.
All the Pacifies were higher by 1 to
2 "points with tchlaon. Illinois Central,
Pere Marquette, Southern Railway, Rock
Island and other bhares comprising the west
ern and southwestern dlvlslw.s.
Leading In .ustrtsls, Inclut Ing United
States' Steel were Irregular to heavy, fall
ing to lowest .eve! In the last hour, Ntecl
fluctuated between 1?" and 111, closing at
110, a net Ions of 2 points. Bethlehem
Steel, new stock, registered a gross decline
of 4 at 112, and Coppers receded 1 to
almost 3 point American Smelting evi
dently discounted the publication of the
company's favorable annual report, losslng
2 points.
Shippings also denoted uncertainty from
the more acute phases of the International
situation, losing 1 to 4 points with 1 to 3
points for various Munitions, Equipments
and limited group of utilities, Ohio Oas
yielding 5 points at 109. Ralls forfeited part
of their gains In the general reversal, which
accompanied the final dealings. Total sales,
860,000 shares.
Enormous gold imports over the week emt
imparted steadiness to sterling and francs,
but 1 1 res fell closo to their lowest point,
recording heavy on cables stating that
Italy purposes to restrict imports, this ef
fecting a partial readjustment of this sit
uation. A lower trend for Internationals contrib
uted to the uncwrtHtn tone of the bond mar
ket on more diversified operations, were un
changed on call.
