Chicago Trlbune-Omaha, Be Leaned Wire. By ALEANDER DANA NOYES. Xew York, Feb. 28. The re ncwed speculative selling of some half dozen industrial shares of to day's stock exchange, and the de clines which were thereby effected,' had no particular connection with general situation, except, insofar as those maneuvers indicated a market in which the real forces making for higher or lower values were in sus pense pending the coming week's new developments. , In financial circles which give in telligent consideration to such mat ters, the present attitude is plain enough. The London conference be tween the allies and Germany, which is now beginning, contain the possi bility of a reassuring turn in the pos ture of affairs. But it is only possi bility; in general the expectation of financial markets apparently is for at least a partial deadlock, in which the German delegates might avert the threatened extension of the occu pied area while prolonging discus sion of terms. Market It Deipondent. Judgment eema to bo momentarily sus pended in the matter of the new adminis tration. If financial market were In a mood of cheerful confidence on general principles, one might safely predict that something would be found, even In Mr. Harding's Inaugural address next Friday, which would servo to stimulate speculative buying. Hut the market's present mood is despondent, not to say pessimistic and whether that state of mind Is warranteed or not. Incidents are apt to take their color from It. A trim and resolute statement of pdr pone regarding our home finances and our Kuropean relations, clear enough to brush away misinterpretation and sound enough to remove misgiving, would unquestionably have a happy lnfluenco on ail financial markets. Today, however, the feeing tn the financial community seemed to be that the greater probability wa for an utter ance noneommltal on the large issues, with cosxelvably the miring of some highly controverted questions. Until these two uncertainties at Lindnn and Washington are removed by knowledge f the facts, the pause In real financial lnlatlve IB easy to understand. Transaction Smaller.. Today's transactions on the stock ex change were smaller than on any full day since February 11. The only stocks in which thero waa even normal activity were the few Industrial shares on which the professional speculators converged ther efforts. Some of these stocks broke heavily, but without affecting to any great extent the general market, where the days net change were mostly unim portant. The railway as a group held firm. A fairly active bond market pro duced few movements of any consequence In prices. During most of tha day the foreign ex change market hardly moved, but late in the afternoon a recovery Ret in which brought sterling 1H cents about last weeks closing, with smaller advances in rate on other European markets, Including Oer many. ., Sharp Cotton Decline. Not the least lnteres;!tig event of today's markets waa the further sharp decline In cotton, which carried th New York spot price down more than H o nt per pound to a price 111 cents which (compare with 14, at the end of December and with 434 at last year's high July price. This embodies a decline of not quite 75 per cent ni barely five months; something al most unparalleled In the -whole list of tumbling commodity markets, whose aver age decline from last year's highest waa 40H per cent at the n? of January. Cot ton is now soiling actually lower than nt this time even in surh prewar years as 1913, 1912, 1911 or 1310. The price may be called unwarrantably low, but It 1 so because the southern farmers chose to hold their cotton buck from the market on tho bsxis of Insecure hank loans, which con sumers knew would have to bo paid off and many of which were called ftfr pay ment) on this present day.

The local market for raw sugar was quiet today and the only sales reported were 2,000 ton of San Domingo and to Canada at 4 cents c. I. f. There was no report made by the committee and prices were unchnnged at 4" tents for Cuba.! cost and freight, equal to jS.77c or Centrifugal Chicago Grain By CHARLES D. MICHEALS. C hlrago Tribune-Omaha Bee Leased Wire. Chicago, eb. 28. An erratic ac tion of the grain markets was on with a wide and lower range and a reaction that made small net losses for the day disappointing for those who had ' expected a big break. Wheat was off 34c to l4c with March leading, corn He lower and oats Jtfc higher, with rye finishing unchanged to ?Bc higher and' barley unchanged. Cotton was down to the lowest of the year, March being below jll cents and stocks were also lower.1 ' Between the bullish statistics, green bugs and realizing sales by leading holders of March wheat and the selling of May trades there ivas a nervous mnrket. Export business keeps up, and 250,000 bushels were reported sold at the seaboard. Mill ing demand in the northwest was fair and cash prices there held well. Millers at Minneapolis took the March, yet it went to 1 cent under May at one time. Kansas Uty March was 11 to 12 cents under Chicago. Corn Drop Surprise. That corn values only declined 1 cent from Saturdays close and at one time advanced nearly 2 cents from the low point made early was a surprise to the trade in general. rne eariy oreaa ac counted the effect of the big receipts. But as the latter . failed to reach expected proportions, being 926 cars, and the visi ble greatly to the surprise of all de creased 1,343,000 bushels, there was a cov ering movement and bettor support. Most of the business In oat was In buying July and selling May at 1 to l!to difference. Shorts bought July. Seeding operations are progressing In the southwest and Jacksonville, 111., reported It under way there. Cash lota sold at fair discount. An v export bid for rye of 22o over Chicago May with offers at 28c over was the nearest to cash business In thla grain, A few eastern order were here for July while May was neglected. Stocks are decreasing. Pit Note. Export aales of cash wheat at the sea board were reported at 250,000 bushels with 20,000 barrel flour. There were in quiries In the market for two cargoes flour close to a working basis, but details were not given. Bids for the gulf were on the basis of 14 cent over March, or the same as waa bid by exporter for No. 1 hard, track Texas City for 20-day shipment from the country. Domestic shipping sales at Chicago were 10,000 bushels wheat, 100,000 bush els corn and 40,000 bushels oats. There was also 605,000 bushels corn sold to the seaboard for export. Premium on cash wheat , showed little change with red winter I213c over March for the No. 1 and 1012c over for the No. 2. No. 1 hard was 67o over, and dark No. 1 northern 612c over.

Outsido cash wheat markets were a little easier with St. Louis and Omaha lc higher to lc lower and Kansas City un changed to 2o lower. Minneapolis was unchanged. The arrival of a few cars of wheat from Kansas City and the buying of 160, 000 bushels there t( go to tor,- also the purchase of 50.000 bushels here to go to store were the basis for the late selling and decline of over lc. The visible supply of wheat decreased 697,000 bushels last week, while last year the decrease was. 2,521,000 bushels.

Still lower price levels were reached in the cotton mar ket this morning, owing of a continuation of last week's selling movement, which was evidently stimulated by the weak ness of Liverpool, unfavorable reports from Egypt and British trade depression. The opening was easy at a decline of 21 to 50 points, with March selling off to 11.10c, May to 11.62c and July to 12.02c, or about 40 to 43 points net lower on the active positions. After the close of Liverpool there was less selling pressure and prices showed rallies of 10 or 15 points from the lowest around midday, although the tone was unsettled. ' It is expected that there will be large tenders of March contracts to Liverpool Tuesday, and March liquidation is be lieved to have been largely responsible for recent liquidation there.

"The Reliable Consignment House" Omaha, Nebraska "Doc" Kent Expects to Profit by "Advertising" In "Wells Babies" Case "Dr." H. S. Kent will probably re-enter the candy business, he an nounced yesterday. At present he is scouting about for a suitable loca tion to reopen, he said. With the "advertising" that he re ceived previous to his acquittal a month ago after his second trial for the alleged attempt to murder of the "Wells babies," he believes that business will be great. Dr. Kent denies that he proposes to marry Miss Louise Hoeke, al leged mother of the twins, stating that he had met her only one since, the trial. The twins. Betty and Jimmy Wells, are still at the Methodist hos pital, to which they were taken after being rescued. They are in custody of the Nebraska Children's Home society.
