New Tork, ilarch 22. The sluggish
course of today's stock market was largely
If not wholly Influenced by developments
In the foreign war sons. Interest in that
quarter subordinated all other considera
tions. Stocks were slightly Irregular at the out
set but Immediately rallied, only to lose
more than their Initial advantage before
midday.
Ralls, shipping, representative Industrials
snd miscellaneous Issues shared in th
gradual decline, which became most pro
nounced In the final hour.
War shares, which should benefit In the
logical course of events by the further
enormous wastage of arms and ammuni
tion now proceeding along the French front,
were reactionary with so-oalled "peace"
stocks.
Jn the case of several equipments, rea
sons for comparative backwardness were
well defined. Bethlehem Steel's report for
117 disclosed a net decline of more than
$7,700,000.
Allied Industrials were under Intermittent
restraint, pending announcement of Wash
ington's new peace schedule and oils, also
subject to early price revision, fortified
gains of t!i t incedlng session. Shippings
and tobnrr, . o displayed greatest weak
ness at the ive close. Sales amounted to
126,000 slu r
The P'-:i bond list was slightly Irreg
ular and 1: Issues again fell back after
a further . jnstratlon Of strength. - Ad
vices from v hington Indicate early an
nouncement of the terms of the next Issue,
Including Interest rate and date of matur
ity. Total aales (par value) aggregated
$3,850,000.
United States bonda (old Issues) were
unchanged on call.

CHICAGO GRATS AND PROVISIONS.
Senate's Action on Wheat Guarantee Has
Bullish Effect.
Chicago, March 22. Action of the United
States senate In favor of a higher guaran
teed price for the 1918 wheat crop had a
bullish effect today on the value of coarse
grain. Chiefly aa a result, corn finished
Kteady at 0c net advance, with March
$1.27 and May, $1.26 U. Oats gained
c. In provisions the outcome varied from
unchanged figures to a decline of 22c.
It was evident from the outset that the
corTT market had been decidedly stimulated
by passaTe ot the Gore resolution to lift
the wheat guarantee to 12.51 from $2.20.
Traders were not slow to act, on the theory
that It wheat was worth 30o a bushel more,
other cereals should command a notable
Increase. Aside from legislative chances,
moreover,- it wa pointed out ttiat the move
ment of the corn crop had seriously dimin
ished and that primary receipts today were
nearly 900,000 bushels less than on the
corresponding day last week, whereas North
American clearances had more than doubled.
Oats as well as corn responded promptly
to the senate action concerning wheat In
the late dealings, however, something of a
reaction took place, owing to gossip that ex
port interests had ceased bidding.
Lower Quotations on hogs weakened pro
visions. Chicago Cash prices .
