Chleago Tribune-Omaha Bee Leased Wire.
New York, Mrch 18. On the
stock exchange, where the action
cf prices was again watched with
rather more interest than the move
ment on other markets, another
early decline occurred today, fol
lowed by general recovery. The re
sult on this occasion was to leave
the range of prices, as a whole, high
er at the close. On the previous
day professional pressure had been
applied to the railroad shares, while
industrial stocks were being repur
chased; today the early selling of
the industrials was made the basis
for repurchases of the railways.
The slightly easier money market
which has prevailed since tax collec
tions, continued today, but without
giving indication of any definite
trend. A sight further advance in
rate within 1 cent of the year's higlrl
mark and active buying of cxchaige
on Italy carried the day's quotations
for lire netrly half a cent above last
week's low rate.
Big Stock Dividend.
The hugo stock dividend by the Chicago
Burlington & Qulncy railroad virtually
all paid to the two proprietary compa
nies, Northern Pacific and Great North
ern was in accordance with the recent
permission of the Interstate commerc-o
commissions. It leaves it still uncertain
what measures will be taken to ieieem
next July, the $215, 000. 000 bonds lssu?d
against the old Burlington stock in 3901
by the two other companies.
The weekend revley of the country's
trade by the mercanVile agencies show
the same hesitancy of diagnosis uxd the
same inability to detect any positive
trend to the situation as aro displayed
on the stock exchange and in tho con
versation of financial circuits.
The reason for this uncertainly is the
same in every case, the difficulty of saying
whether and when the readjustment of
industry is to end. combined with tlw
fact that this month, even In normal
years, is traditionally the period of doubt.
Influences of the winter season are atlll
in operation though diminishing in force
and the new influences of the spring sea
son which are bound to affect for better
or worse the general situation, liava not
como distinctly Into sight.
New York Cotton.
New York, March 18. After a dull
forenoon session with futureless tradlnB
and narrow fluctuations, . the market
weakened in late afternoon upon the de
velopment of renewed southern selling.
This looked to be partly In the way of
liquidation of recent speculative purchases
and partly as hedges against holding? of
apot cotton, a both the foreign d-jmand
and that from American interests con
tinue sufficiently to absorb th daily
offerings of the actual cotton from the
interior at the current quotations.
The maximum decline in prices from
today's closing quotations by 2:30 o'clock
waa about 20 points, with May contracts
then aelllng at 11.69c; July, 12.06c, and
October of the next crop, 12.55c.

By CHARLES . D. MICHAELS.
Chicago Trlbun. Cable. Copyright, 1921.
Chicago, March 18. Green bug
reports from the southwest arrived
in good numbers and started buying
of w heat, which advanced prices ear
ly ..''and helped strengthen other
grains. The buying gave out around
the top and fine weather and cron
reports became effective. Wheat
started the break and the finish was
weak at around the inside figures,
with wheat off 2.1-43c; corn, l-2
3-4c; oats, 3-85-8c; rye, ! 5-8i
l-8c; and barley, l-2c. Provisions
showed strength and closed with
gains of 35c on pork; 121-225c on
lard and 71-210c on short ribs..
Weakness in cash wheat in Kan
sas City, where red winters were
710c lower, with indications of
some increase in receipts and no ex
port demand, started a selling move
ment here in the last hour and car
ried prices down 3 l-24c from the
early high point. -
Long on Corn.
It is said that the country Is long, both
in cash corn and futures, both of which
show losses. There is little new buying
uiiming Into the market and despite the
reduced receipts jind small country of
ferings, weakness in wheat Induced sell
ing by local interests. Leading elevator
interests were buyers of futures early and
sellers later. Despite the arrival of only
179 cars, cash prices declined lo from
tho close of tho previous day and dis
counts on low grades, which have hard
ened of late, dropped 'iSJVic Domestic
sales were only 55,000 bushels, with no
export business.
Favorable weather for the oats crop that
1 seeded, and for seeding, combined with'
the light support and increased pressure,
carried prices down Sc. No. 2 white
brought SVjc over May. Export inquir
ies were here for No. 3 white clipped, 36
to 38 pounda, but no business resulted Ca
nadian oata were being sold for export.
Cash prices were 1 He. lower than the
previous day's top. Arrivals, S7 cars.
Tho seaboard was after rye and took
the offerings fairly, with 15,000 bush
el.i sold for export. Buying waa offset
by tha decline In other grains.
Pit Notes.
Liquidation was on after the early bulge
of 1 cent from the previous day'B close
and the giving out of the buying power
with increased selling all around, made
a depressed feeling. Export buying, which!
has been the feature for several days, was
not in evidence to any extent, although
a little business was on at the gulf at
S'Ac to 23!4c over May. also a cargo
o- two of durum and 100.000 bushels of
Manitoba, the latter at Montreal. Min
neapolis and Winnipeg reported a good
demand for ca3h wheat, but at other
markets trade was slow. Milling sales
htre were only 10.0QO bushels, with pre
mlums easy.
Crop reports were mostly bearish and
despite the improved tone In the atock
market, the wheat trade assumed that
there was not enough disposition on the
part of the public to buy and there
wre too many discouraging factors, as
the local trade saw it, for a bull mar
ket. In the early buying, orders were
credited to the leading New York cot
ton traders, while at the same time oth
er houses through which they operate
were heavy sellers. In the last hour early
buyers were all on the selling side.
Flour' prices, which advanced the pre
vious day, were off sharply as a result
of the break '.a wheat Thursday.
Premiums on winter wheat at Chica
go wera firm, with No. 1 red 11 12c; No.
1 hard, 37c and No. 2 hard, l4c

Wartime Laws' Repeal
Took Immigration Acts
Washington. March 18. The De
partments of State and Labor have
asked the Department of Justice to
determine whether congress in re
pealing war-time laws, inadvertently
wiped out the statutes, under which
the government lias maintained a
check abroad on' undesirable aliens
seeking to come to this country.
State and labor officials doubt
whether any passport laws remain
on the statute books.
The present situation is expected
to result in an early movement for
re-enactment of an alien restricting
law similar to the bill passed at the
last session, but given, a pocket veto
by President Wilson.

reflected to a moderate extent In the
market here on scoured wools both fine and

for fine and fine medium staple woolens
and something la done now and again In
medium grades, but prices show no Im

"The foreign markets have been gener

JtMdKlreet's Trade Review.
New York, March 18. Bradstrect'i to
morrow will sav:
"Excellent spring weather and the near
approach of Easter has brightened up
Jobbing and retail trade. Collections are
a shade better, and tho automobile, build
ing and kindred trades have shown more
life and have bought more freely of
materials. Trade as a whole, Is fair, re
ports coming from tho northern half of
tho country.
"But when this Is said. It Is conceded
that Industrv still laffs. that employment,
although morevidely diffused, still lacks
heavily of affording full orcupatlon for
millions of workers, that signs of reac
tion are common, that the general In
dustrial and commercial movement Is very
Irregular, and that the pessimism voiced
last week still finds expression in com
plaints that the revival is not as great
as expected.
