New York financial News
By NEW YORK TIMES.
Chicago Tribune-Omaha, Bee Leased Wire.
New York, March 11. Conflicting
forces were at work in stocks
throughout today's session realizing
sales on a large scale beieng quite
evident in some quarters at the same
time that special issues were bid
upward. In the first hour the mar
ket was strong with the exception of
some of the rails whose rise of Tues
day and Wednesday had evidently
been mainly the result of buying for
a quick profit. It was in this period
that the foreign exchanges bulged
sharply, sterling gaining 6 cents to
the pound over the preceding day's
final quotation and as the sentiment
al relation between the improvement
of exchange rates and the stock mar
ket has been pronounced it was like
ly sterling's upturn influenced the
further advance of industrial shares
this morning. Cotton, too, gained
ground, with a later reaction and
grain prices moved forward in the
Chicago market.
Before noon tHe exchanges declined in
a sudden movement and at the same time
irregularity became pronounced in stocks.
In final dealings a number of specialities
and motor company shares were 2 to 6
points above Wednesday's last oitotatlons.
while a softening tendency was described
oy omer aepanmenta.
Credit Conditions Strengthen.
What the day's movements in' the stock
and foreign exchange markets reflected
more than anything else was speculation
that had not become altogether convinced
that higher levels were to be reached and
maintained In the Immediate future. The
discussion of gold Imports with their con
sequent effects upon banking reserves, the
growth of favorable sentiment about con
ditions in Europe as the spring months
approach and an optimistic feeling over
the railroad outlook have had much to
do with the forward price movements in
various markets. The net advance of more
than 60 cents in sterling quotations from
the minimum level of February, has evi
dently resulted In part from a revulsion
of speculative endeavor, due to a realisa
tion on both sides of the water that the
decline hud gone further than the under
lying European financial situation war
ranted. Whether the altered outlook has
been discounted by the exchanges remains
to be seen. It Is yet to be established that
the British and French governments intend
10 semi realty targe amounts of gold, at
iPBhi oerore tne due date -ul the Anglo
ranch loan drawn near. The Tine of stocks
lu the last 19 days, allowing for a round
lot of short coverings, has occurred roln-
cuicni witn tne tnouirht that credit condi
tions are gradually strengthening, vet such
improvements remains to l t
bank stBtements and until this event Is
iiaieui mere will hardly l room for
lHrge scale speculative activity in storks.
The "dips" which have occurred In stocks
aftr forward swings In the last fort
night show that traders are not taking
undue chances with paper profits.
Hank of England fiold Gains.
The Bank of England In today's report
showed a gain of nearly $12,000,000 In
gold at tho par of the sovereign and the
rauo or reserve to liability gained in the
week approxmlately 2i per cent to 21.62
per cent. Thus, the bank's accumulation
of tha metal showed forth additional
proof of its ability to add lo Its holdings
from week to week. The orice of auld
on the London market declined 4 shillings
pence from Wednesday s quotation and
silver also moved off sharply. Sterling
exchange at New York, following Us early
rise, fell back under substantial offerings
to a point 3 cents under the preceding
afternoon's closing quotations. ,
Domestic monetary conditions were un
changed, call money being freely offered
at 7 per cent, with very few offerings of
time funds. Except for a perceptible
diminution of business in the latter deal
ings, the break in exchange exerted no
very pronounced effect on quoted values.
Reaction of 2 to 6 points were largely re
gained at the finish, although profit-taking
was evident. Sales were 1.435,000 shares.
Trading In bonds was liirht, but the
tone, epecially of speculative rails, was
strong. Liberty issues eased with firm
ness among Internationals. Sale par
value) were $10,755,000. Old United
States bonds were unchanged on call.

Chicago, March 11. The advance
in May corn to $1.50 today that
many have expected for more than
a week became a reality. The price
did not hold, yet closing trades were
at net gains of J-ll?ic for the dif
ferent futures, March being the
weakest. Oats gained liC and
dye, which led the advance from ths
start, was up ljc and barle-y lc.
Kansas City corn futures were
stronger than Chicago.
Corn prices are now at a level where
traders say there is a more oven fight
for operators on both sides of the market.
Cash prices have worked nearer to futures
and the bull has less advantage over the
short seller. No. 3 mixed corn sold at a
discount under March for the first time
this season and No. 4 yellow, at St. Louis,
dropped to under May price there. Arrivals
at Chicago and St. Louis show an increase
over last week and cash markets are not
showing the strength they have of late,
which encourages the short seller. Country
roads are breaking up In Illinois and Iowa
and the movement from the interior must
come from the country elevators from now
on. As to holdings in these elevators re
ports vary. Somo claim that they ara large
and others only fair. Attention is called
by an oat trader to the fact that May Is
only o higher now than when corn was
16 cents lower than at present. This is
attributed to selling by longs and by houses
who have canceled sales to the east and
had May bought against it.
Bullish Sentiment in Corn.
Bullish sentiment predominated In corn,
but a big fight was on and the market's
action in conseauence whb rinHfloriiv
ratic.3 July and September sold at new
high fflgures on the crop, while May was
up to around the outside price early in
August On every upturn above $1.49 for
May, long corn came out in volume, and to
a lesser extent in the more deferred de
liveries. At the last March was (1.62H;
May, $1.48; July, $1.42 and September.
$1.39.
Wet weather prevailed over the corn
, country roads Have broken up.
feterllng exchange advanced sharply early
and then declined as rapidly as It had
gone up, helping to make a eharp break at
one time. Messages from Iowa points ln
d.?,ta. more Plentiful supply of cars,
while In Illinois the situation was very
bad. In both states farmers are unable
to deliver to interior elevators. Prospects
of one of the worst crop scares In winter
wheat In recent years la a market factor
in corn, es is the heavy demand for rye
and wheat Horn abroad.
Receipts of corn were limited, 103 cars
with sample values unchanged to mc
higher. Kastern demand alow, with
one car sold to the east. Africa was in
the market and bought 10,000 bushels
Kaffir corn and mllo maize. Trading in

Grain Trade Notes.
Weekly Kansas weather and crop report
aays: It was a very unfavorable week,
for wheat wits already suffering on ac
count of droughty conditions when the
week began and was damaged by the
cold winds. The snow was light and was
blown and offered very little protection.
There was some complaint of damage from
soil blowing away In the western counties,
but this, seems to have occurred only on
tho more sandy ground. It is too early to
ascertain Just what damage to wheat, a
a good rain or heavy snow might revive
It wonderfully, but present indications
are that In a large number of counties
in tha southern half from 10 to (0 per
cent of It will be abandoned. The north
ern half Is generally in better shape, but
its condition is precarious.
Northwestern gram dealers' report
shows 43.7S3.000 bushels oats inspected to
date, 1,764,000 bushels In store at country
points, 11.514,00 bushel in farmers'
hands, 8.800,000 bushel and to come for
ward about 12,000.900. Stocks at terminal
elevator Saturday night were (,000,000
bushels.
Foreign demand for ry continues very
active. Bids of 1( cents over May track,
Baltlmqre, made in the west for prompt
Khlpmehts. A large business has been put
through in all positions already, but de
tails are lacking. Holland buyers are for
Germany. A New Tork message says they
have cleaned up all the rye exporters had
bought and not shipped and must now get
the rest of their orders from western
markets.
The International Institute of Agri
culture reports winter wheat acreage for
1920 showing an Increase in France and
British India and a decrease in Spain
and Roumanla in camparison with 1(1.
The acreage this year and percentage
of last year's acreage follow: Spain,
9.(11,000 acres, or 91.6 per cent of last
year; France, 11.369,000 acres, or 103.6
per cent; Roumanla, 1,321,000 acres, or
