New York, March 18. The b'tock
market swung forward with a great
deal of strength today under deal
ings on the largest scale of the
year. The steel and allied shares
were most prominent in the rise,
although it was difficult Jo' tell at
times whether their vigor exceeded
the buoyancy of automobile and
some of the oil stocks. Beinir a
highly professional affair, that it,
limited mainly to the Wall street
commission houses and their reg
ular clientale in outside branches,
dealings were evidently stimulate
by the amount and relatively low
cost of call money.
Tha eon loha rata slatted off at 7 per
cent and eased to per cent early In th
afternoon. Rc-cause of the atrlngemy of
temporary credit and the high ratea of
tha fdfftpart of the year 7 per cant money
looks cheap to tha trader. After a sharp
upturn of the more versatile lnaues, which
ended until after tho noon hour, a con
siderable flow of realizing sales came In.
Near tha close prices moved off extensive
ly, but not to a degree to prevent a gtrong
cnoiocr to prima cowa, is.aoraiv.io; u". " nni price iiei aunwsu many
cows, 17.t09t.lS; common to fair cows. I much atrcnger apota her and there.
. Bankara Watch Cable.
It waa to be said that International
bankera-Jcept a close eye upon cabled news
about event fit Germany. That no genuine
alarm was felt over conflicts reported in
several uerman oitie waa evidenced in tne
foreign exchange market. Sterling moved
lorwara gradually Bntil a quotation of
$3.7414 was established and maintained
when buslnes ended. Thls-rate was 2,
cents higher than the day before. Marks
stood firmly at 1.28 to 1.30o, which was
their approximate position today before.
Franca eased slightly end lira aomewhat
further, but there waa no real weakness
in any or the allledanuntations. Neutral
country rates were slightly firmer than
on- Wednesday. Tha comment in banking
quarters disclosed a feeling as on other
days of the week that the gpartaolde en
deavor would ultimately break before the
oommon sense of the Herman- people. As
far.aa sentiment In regard to other Euro
pen countries were concerned, it Healt
chiefly with the Impression derived from
economic develonmenta of tha lnat two
months that Industrial activity I tntreas-
mK ana nnouia improve as winter weather
passea out. '
- Better Reserve Showing.
The street noted with satisfaction that
the Bank of England's reserve la the
weekly report was more than 1 per
cent higher than last week, while $11,.
400,000- more gold was rocorded In the
bullion holdings, Tha bank has now
gained more than ll80.000.ono In gold 'this
year and the deduction might be made,
from tha retention of a 4 per cent dis
count rata that tha position of credit in
ragiana ,u not giving causa tor worny.
Word has not comepf results of gold
sales on the London market thla week
and it may be that none has been offered.
The expectation is voiced In aome local
quarters that Argentina will appear short
ly as an- importer of substantial amounts
of gold from London, which would not be
a new development, but might have eirect
in lessened imports from the United States.
That Is auppoalng, of course. tht part
of our recent gold shipments has been for
British account.

A messuge from Dea Molnea (la.) nays;
"Car situation no better:, if anything, it
Iq worsa. Farmers offering nothing.
About al! xnsh Huff being sold by farmers
is where They are shelling and want big
price for immediate delivery. Healers not
strong for this, as they have their hands
full trying to get cars to fill past, due
aules. Mast dealers Bold up on both corn
ondoata, and what Is not sold they will
not Offer short of 60-day shipment." '
- Northwatarn Allller Heport says:
"Minneapolis flour output this week
amounted to 197,700 barrels against 212,
795 barrels last week and 258,076 a year
aa.
The flur market, which has been re
ported aa dead for several weeks, is ba
(finnlng to show niftxn of coming to Info.
Not that there has been any Improvement
In sales, but a rather freer Inquiry. Tradj
la still reported to have enough flour on
hand for present and nearby needs, but
at the same time an occasional buyer
.seems to be fn the market for small
lots for prompt shipment. Not much ac
tivity is looked for for some time to
come." .
The Grain corporation announces It pur
chaxed this week about 200,000 barrels
ot wheat flour at prices averaging 116.69
Per barrel, Baltimore basis, and 210 per
'barrel. F. A. 8. Pacific coast points.
