Chicago Tribune-Omaha Bee Leased Wire.
y New York, March 25. Thought
of a stiff call money rate caused
traders in stocks to act cautiously
on the buying side today before the
money market opened, and afterward
prices moved uncertainly until near
the close of business. In the final
half hour short covering imparted
a show of strength to steel, petrole
um, copper and motor issues, while
the other departments were irregu
lar. The character of dealings told little of
underlying Influences. The call loan rate
moved up from to 12 per cent, but It
was hardly as much' the action of the
quotation aa a vague feeling of pending
developments in respect to credit that
prumoted careful operations la the stock
market.
The street had considered, prior to
Wednesdays tightening of temporary
loans, that a prrlod of several weeks' easy
money was at hand, and now the Impres
sion seems to be growing that this sup
position was founded on a ahaky founda
tion. Study of the market loan situation
Is catering more than before upon the de
mands which Interior banks will have
shortly.
tat Loan Called.
It Is understood that aubstantlal with
drawals of Interior bank deposits have
been made this week, necessitating some
callinr of loana here, a process which went
on today. Banking comment deals with
tha probability that the need lor tunas
In the farming regions will ba equal to
last year's call In tha spring, and will
find ahead of It a commercial credit
structure considerably larger than a year
ago.
Monetary ease or tightness for tha neit
few weoks is made difficult of predic
tion, not because of agricultural ana com
mercial requirements, but for the reason
that transactions entailed In the pay
ment of Income taxes. In government
financing and in the placing of a round
amount of new corporate securities are not
yet to be sized up.
Bank Statements Interesting.
The end of the week bank statements
will ba Interesting on acount of these
various elements, not the least of which
Is the new financing In process of comple
tion together with the promise of more
to come within a, few days. The funded
obligations which have appeared recently.
Including (16,000,000 6-year, 1 per cent
notes by a prominent oil company today.
offer a high return and appeal to payera
of income surtaxes as well as omers,
lut the point affecting bank credit Is
that It takes some time to distribute
mlllons of paper. In the meantime, the
securities have to be financed.
Italian Kxchange Heavy.
Italian exchange displayed a heavy
tone, but sterling was buoyant, reaching
a new high record for tha year at (3.(8,
and French and Belgian quotations ad
vanced. The Banlt of England's weekly
report showed a loss of (12.000,000 tn
gold with a consequent reduction of the
reserve ratio. Inasmuch as the banlt
had been gaining gold since the opening
of the year, the loss drew attention. It
was not explained In any way. An Idea
that gold had been shipped to another
country, Canada, for example, for later
transfer to the United States would be
open to question, If It still remained the
bank's property, for It would still be
counted as reserve.

prices being 26o lower than yesterday, the
undertone was weak, however, and prices
gradually slipped, many of the late sales
of strong weights and heavy hogs being
as much as 60o lower. Heavy hogs were

Government weekly weather and crop
report says: The temperature during the
week was generally favorable for the
cereal crops, and there was ample Boll
moisture except from Kansas southward,
where rain is needed. Winter wheat and
other grains Improved somewhat In nearly
all sections of the country under these
favorable conditions, but wheat came
through) the winter In rather poor shape
In many local i tie and Is responding rath
er slowly to the recently favorable condi
tions, particularly n parts of Ohio and
lower Missouri valley. The dry weather
also has retarded the growth of small
grains In the southwest.
Plowing and seeding of spring grains
made good progress from Texas and Louis
iana northward, but continued wet soil
has further delayed this work in nearly
all sections east- of the Mississippi river.
In the great plains area the seeding of
spring grains has progressed northward to
southern Nebraska and ha become gen
eral in Kansas.
The Chicago Price Current aays: "Tt
Is yet too early to estimate tha growth
condition of winter wheat or tha amount
of the abandoned acreage with any de
gree of certainty. Our reports indicate
that the surplus winter wheat states will
start off with an average growth condi
tion ot not better than 76 per cent and
that the abandoned acreage will average
about 15 per cent. These figures are only
tentative, however. Reports of damage
by Hessian fly throughout Ohio, Indiana
and Illnois are still persistent and drouth
and high winds have done more or less
damage in Kansas and Oklahoma. Soil
condition ia mostly favorable, but too
wet in some portions of Ohio and In
diana, almost entirely favorable in Illi
nois, Missouri, Iowa and Nebraska, but
largely too dry In Kansas and Oklahoma.
Spring rains needed in the southwest for
the best growth of grain crops."

Chicago Grain
By CHARLES D. MICHAELS.
Chicago Tribune-Omaha Bee Leased Wire.
Chicago, March 25. A collapse of
the advancing tendency in grains
fcme in the last hour today with
a drop .in prices which forced out
a lot of long corn and oats. Bearish
rumors were afloat and although
they had no basis in fact their effect
was marked.
Profit-taking at the last made a small
rally from the inside. Net losses were
2 Vic to JVjc on corn, Ho to 2o on oats
and 2o to 2o on rye.
Corn prices fluctuated in a most er
ratic manner within a range of 46c and
closed on a small rally from the bottom,
due to evening up on the part ot aborts.
There was a lack of outside support and
while several good rallies were made early,
persistent selling by longs filled up buy
ers and toward the last liquidation of
several large long lines uncovered stop
orders and a bad break followed. Sell
era of bids had to protect themselves.
Sample values were unchanged to 1c
higher early and nominally l2o lower at
the close In sympathy with futures.
Exporters Advance Bids.
Exporters advanced their bids on wheat
2o over night and bought 10,000 bushels
No. 2 red hers at $2.75 track, New York.
Winter wheats were unchanged to 3c
higher with No. Vhard $2.50. and springs
nominally 3(96c higher.
Longs were free sellers of oats on an
early bulge, and with corn weak a sharp
decline was easily attained, and the great
er part of it maintained at the last.
Sellers of offers had to protect them
selves. Southern marketa materially out
bid Chicago; downstate, -Louisville and
Cairo offering 3ft95o at Illinois load
ing stations for No. 2 white, while at
Memphis, (1.02 was paid Wednesday.
Premiums on No. 2 white here were firmer
at 8H94c over May. Sample values
unchanged to Ho higher, closing with
the advance lost.
Houses with seaboard connections bought
rye early, but the market weakened with
other grains and closed about the bottom.
Exports bids were advanced hio to 1514.0
over May. track Baltimore, a new high
basis on the crop with no sales reported.
No. 2 on track brought $1.71. - .
Barley sold readily at unchanged prices,
even feed grades moving freely. Spot
sales were at $1.491.61.
