Trading In storks todsy was quiet, price changes, except In some of the mora speculative Issues, being fractional.

New Tork, March 1. Brandstreet's to morrow will say : Freer movements, superinduced by better weamer, large supplies or, coal and Im provement In transportation facilities both on land and . water, which, however, are still not by any meana free from congestion, have given birth to moVe cheerful feelings. It la true that preferences as to govern mental requirements operate to circum scribe activities in certain civilian enter prises and this factor coupled with the concededly marked shortage ot many kinds of manufactured goods, deters ordinary trading from rising to its fullest height but even so the general tendency la toward broader developments except where ultra non-essentials are concerned. Winter wheat crop news la more favorable propaganda to Increase the growing of foodstuffs Is being transformed Into action, Industrial outputs give evidence of being undamped, labor disturbances are negligible, war production la ahead ot schedules, trade In staple goods Is expanding, and marked by considerable Inter dealing between jobbers, this being especially true of textiles paucity of'which is noteworthy and demand for which looms noiwiinsianaing upward bounding prices. In fact dearth of textiles creates fears of a famine later on, and causes re tall merchants, many, of whom visited the larger markets this week to buy more freely than they should like to do. On the other hand Incidents are numerous enough to develop exceptions to the rule and In a general way buying of spring goods by the ultimata customer Is still held In leash awaiting spring weather.

From the outset prices showed a slight advance and there was a steady close at the same as yesterday's finish to a shade higher, with March $1.27 and May $1.27. The, outcome In oats ranged from a shade off to gains of . Provisions rose Gffl7 to 22 net Corn traders devoted chief attention to notices that until. March 10 the food ad ministration would take 600,000 bushels to 760,000 bushels dally for export. The' fact nowever.- that the market for future. A IfVerles was already to the maximum limit on values left but little Incentive to specu laiive ouiis. complaints or failure ot east ern roads to provide cars for shipments cenaea also to cnecK any decided unturn The result was that during much of the session dealings in futures were at a com plete standstill, and details of price changes naa no special signmcance. Oats averaged higher as a result of con tinued scantiness ot arrivals. Bearish est! matea of farm reserves led at times though to considerable selling, especially of the May option.
