Chicago Tribunc-tliiialia Itce leased Hire. New York, -Marcli 10. "1 he atten tion which had been directed to the railways by the unfavorable Janu ary earnings reports and by several public statements regarding the awkward character ot the situation, resulted today in distinct weakness of their shares on the stock ex change. Such declines as 1'4 in Union Pacific and Atchison, ljft in Pennsylvania, 2 in Xew York Cen tral, 2'j in St. Paul and 3 in North ern Pacific, were accompanied by larger selling than lias occurred ju these shares on the recent market, and was naturally associated with the current talk of a crisis in the companies' situation. The stock market as a whole, was much under flie influence of this movement to day. Total transactions were the largest of any day since January 20. Following Wednesday's announce ment by the Pennsylvania manage ment, that a program of "horizontal" wage reductions would be under taken by virtue of necessity, (though with full recognition both of the scale of pay for similar work in other industries and of the relation be tween the wage rate and the cost of living), the New York Central Jo flay made a similar announcement. Oilier companies will naturally take the same action. Two Courses Open. The i-moosed reduction will either be hoccjiiimI h- the railway labor organiza tion, in which casrt the cliango would be made automatically, or, on their refusal to ae.niiescu officially, the dispute would be referred to tho railway labor board as provided by the law. From the Wall street viewpoint, the in cident Is disquieting, but It Is for the same reastyu as the shutdowns ami wage reductions In various manufacturing In dustries, becau.so of the emphasis which it lavs on the character of a situation which is already visible to everybody. In the case of the railways there Is reason to welcome the bringing of the question to an Issue. The grentest danger was that matters might, through force of circumstances, be allowed to drift. To day's distinct announcement from Wash ington that a "sweeping Investigation" of the whole railway situation would be In troduced in tho senate on the first day of the extra session was in that respect reassuring. Even a hostile investigation would elicit facts which are quito be yond dispute. But the proposed Investigation could not well he hostilo when congress will have to determine, for Itself and for the people at large, why Its own purposes, as distinctly outlined in the rathvay act of a year ago, have entirely failed of fulfillment. Having established that, the committee would also naturally have to ir.quiro whether thero Is any other prac ticable solution than reduction of labor coald. Sterling Advances, Little attention was given to tho Eu ropean ,. treaty complications, and Euro ptan markets gave no more evidence of concern than our own did. Sterling ex change advanced again, recovering near ly ail the loss Incurred since the Lon don negotiations were broken off, its high rate of this afternoon being only Up. under last Monday's top figure and only l1ic under the highest of the year. In the day's reports, the steel corporation's statement of orders on the books at tho close of February attracted interest. The total of unfilled tonnage la the smallest since October. 1919: the decrease in Feb ruary was 814 Per cent and since last July a little over 37 per cent. Last week the English "currency notes," the wartime paper money, increased 1,200,. 000 pounds after having decreased 32, 900,000 pounds in the earlier weeks of the year. But tho Bank of England's report of today shows the hank's out standing notes to have decreased 825,000 pounds this lst week, making 4,500,000 pounds total decrease since the end of 1920. This is a pretty good showing of contraction, especially when compared with the Increase, in the corresponding part of 1920, of 11.500,000 pounds in the Bank of England circulation against only 28.000,000 pounds decrease in the current year notee. The Bank of France reports for the last week, an Increase of 220.300.000 francs In outstanding notes, following an increase of 337. 800,000 the week before, which brines the French paper currency to the highest fig ure of the year. New York Coffee. New York. March 10. There "A ere mod erate rallies in the market for coffee futures today, owing to the belter show ing of Santos cables and reports of smaller offerings from Brazil. The opening whs one point lower to 10 points higher and tho early market was helped somewhat by tho firmer ruling of foreign exchange, which encouraged hope of more settled conditions In Europe. May (.old up to 6.96o and July to 6.35c. bur this bulge was not fully maintained, with May clos ing at 6.86c bid. The general list closed at a net advance of 3 to 7 points. Closing bids: March, 5.58e: May. S.SRo; July. 6.27c: September, 6.65c; October, 6.78e: December, 7.03c: January, 7.15c. Spot coffe quiet; Rio 7s, 61aS61ic; Santos 4s, OliS-ic. New York Dhy Goods.

MICHAELS. 1 4 liicago Tribune-Omaha lire I. euse.1 Wire. Chicago, March 10. Lack of buy ; ii g from t lie outside offset the in I tlticnce of liuht country offerings oi all grains and after a brief show j ing of strength early, prices slid off land the close was weak at the inside of the day, with a tame, distrustful feeling. Economic conditions with in creasing tabor troubles and pros pects of a strike at the leading stock yards throughout the country, com bined with the weakness in stocks in Wall, street and a moderate de cline in cotton, all counted against liie grain prices. Net losses for the day were 1 1-2 to 2 l-2c on wheat with May leading. Corn was off 5-8 to .Me, oats, 1-2 to 3-4c, rye, 1 1-2 to 1 3-4c, and barley was slow and un changed. The effect of the claims of three cargoes of wheat being bought at the gulf bv France, with sfjme pur chases by 'Italy and sales of 208,000 bushels being sold there by a Chi cago house for export was largely nullified by the confirmed report that France had found Afuerican wheat prices too high and had pur chased its requirements in Argentina, at 15c less. Price iower at Close. This controverted tha claim of the previous day thst thero was only a slight difference, it being a matter of how the different ones figured. Traders loaded up early and sold out later, making a decline of 2c on March and 3n on May, with the inside $1.66 for March and $1 .".714 for May. Pressure on corn came from the local operators and the buying was limited. There was little in tho market other than following wheat. The Inside prices were lo from the top, witn tne iinisn at mc to 70'.c for May. Export demand was not as" urgent, with prices 11 c over Mav. track Baltimore, the lowest so far. Export sales were 350,000 bushels here and 200. U0O bushels at oulside markets. Cash pales were unchanged ut 10c to 10',c under for No. 5. Domestic sales were 65,000 bushols and receipts 317 cars. A small trade was on in oats, with prices off c, with a little hedging busi ness bv .1. Roscufeaum, while the buying was mainly by northwest for July, by McCarthy, as there is more Interest in that delivery. Shipping demand was bet ter, with 124,000 bushels sold. Cash premiums were firm at May prices for car lots of No. 2 white and 1c under for No. 3 white'. Arrivals were lis cars. Cash rye was offered at 23o over Chi cago May, track Baltimore, without bids.
