In Conditions
Slight Improvement IVoleil in
Business Situation, Reserve
Bank Review Reports.
Washington, March limi
tless showed little indication this
month of getting away from the un
certainties of the last year, accord
ing to the federal reserve board's
monthly review. Increased activi
ties were noted in sonic trades, but
with those exceptions, commerce ap
parently was waiting further devel
opments before moving toward any
thing like normal, federal reserve
agents reported.
Regarding trades showing a
. healthier side, including automobiles,
textiles and footwear, the board hesi
tated in saying they had experienced
, more than temporary advances due
to the spring season. Whether the
activities -of such lines portended a
general revival of business, the hoard
declared no definite statement could
be made.
The board's observers reported
that the buyers' strike, felt first l:it
summer, still showed an almost solid
front. So great has been the influ
ence of the public's refual to buy
it high prices that where heavier
sales are reported in wholesale and
retail trade, they arc ascribed whol
ly to local conditions. The only op
t.ttiistic expression was in connection
with the employment situation
which, the review, said, reflected
slightly improved conditions attrib
uted to the increased . seasonal ac
tivity in the three lines of manufac
turing mentioned as showing more
life.
Reports front reserve batiks touch
ing agricultural communities indi
cate that the cry of the farmers for
labor is heine answered by persons

( hlcago Tribune-Omaha Be Leased Hire,
New York,' March 31. The 7 per
cent rate for demand loans was
leached again on the stock exchange
today, perhaps reflecting the month
end payments, fbut otherwise not sig
nificant. Foreign exchange rates were a
fraction lower, but these occasional
reactions, in sterling particularly,
have lately come to be regarded
merely as incidents in a slow bu
continuous recovery. It is possible
that this recent movement in cx
change on Europe will bulk larger
as a sign of the times when it be
comes possible to survey the period
as a whole.
Todny's stock market merely repeatsd
the storv of the day before, though pres
sure of professional sales was less violent
and concentrated and there were more In
dications of repurchases on the day's de
clines. Generally, however, the trend was
downward and despite a partial recovery
from the lowest, net declines of 1 to 2
points occurred- In a number of actlvo
shares.
New hove Point Touched,
The day's weakness In several com
modity markots attracted attention. In
wheat. It brought the contracts for May
delivery to the lowest point reached by
,i,nt ri'aiivnrv (which coincides with the
first distinct outlining of the new crop s
probable magnitude) since tho mlddlo or
1S16, and to a lower price than was gen
erally quoted In the early months of
1015 From now on, we shall hear more
on the one hand of the relative promise
of home and foreign grain harvests, mi
tho other hand of lower prices for farm
labor and farm materials.
The Rank of England again made no
change in Us 7 per cent rediscount rate
at the directors' meeting today and It
must again be said that there was no
good reason for expecting the rumored

BY CHARLE D. MICHAELS.
Chicago Tribune-Omaha Ilea I.msed Wire.
Chicago, March 31. Now low
levels were established for May and
July wheat and for all deliveries of
corn and oats. Liquidation was re
newed with increased volume and
there was a good class of buying of
wheat, while in corn and oats .the
support came mainly from profit
takers. News was mainly against an
advance and the few rallies that came
were the result of local operations.
The only constructive influences
were the "large export business in
wheat, 1,700,000 bushels and 200,000
bushels corn sold at the seaboard.
Closing sales were at small rallies
from the inside and showed distant
futures of wheat off 1 1-2 to 1 3-4c,
with March up 1-2; corn 5-8 to 3-4c,
oats 1-4 to S-8c, rye 5-8 to 7-8c and
barley 1 -4c.
Trading in wheat futures was
heavy and prices declined to the low
est of the season, with May oft to
$1.37 1-2. followed by a bulge of
around 3 cents and closed on a break
due to heavy local selling at $1.38 1-2
to $1.38 3-4. July was down to $1.19
at the inside, and finished at $1.19 1-2
to $1.19 3-4.
Strong March Trading.
Trading In March wheat was of good
volume and mainly at 31.55, with tho ex
treme range lc abovo and lc below that
figure, the finish being 31.65. It was of
fered freely at 11.65 all day by tho lend
hig Interests, openly and tWrough brokers.
Corn was on the market In good volume
and from large and small holders, es
pecially the latter. Buying came mainly
from those who were taking profits, some
of the largest of recent sellers being on
that tide on the break. May broka to
60 4c, with a rally of 4c and a tamo
close at 604c. to 604c The same de
pressing factors continue uppermost In
the minds of traders, although cash of
fering were not larga t nd arrivals were 133
car.
Oats w ere sold mainly by local operators
and bought by northwestern houses and
loc:al operators to cover previous sales. '
The depression In corn and wheat was re
flected in 1 break to 38 4 c for May. with
a rally of lc and finished at 384c to
38o. Cash prices were Uc to 14c low
er, with th'fl south and east buying 106,000
bushels In all and arrivals of only 59 cars.
Exporters took 600. 000 bushels rye at
the seaboard and 16,000 bushels here, pay
ing 37 4c over May, track Baltimore.
Houses with New York connections were
large sellers of May and the price broke
14c. Country offerings were aald said
to be the best In two months.
Pit Notes.
The question asked by grain men Is,
"how low are prices going?" It Is not a
question of a price with the professional
traders In most Instances, but of getting
buyers for tho coarse grains. The latter
are easy to buy, as country and local
holders are getting out and the only buy
ing Is to secure profits.
There have teen largo purchases by the
leading elevator Interests through brokora
who have been the largest sellers of late.
The 60c levels for May corn was nearly
reached and the S9c for May oats was
passed on the downgrade. Prices of corn
and os arc the lowest at this tlm
since 1912 and the markets have low
friends.
In wheat there Is mora disposition on
the part of most of the local professionals
to buy on breaks. This Is due to a belief
that the continued buying for exporters
Is taking supplies too fust at present level
of prices and they see no use ot, selling1
on declines and look for- a bulge, which,
should It materialize, will heln corn add
oats, which are oversold and have !e
friends. There Is a scattered long inter-.'st
in May corn by the country and Job h,ts
are selling thn same as round lots for first
time In months.
Wheat was under pressure from all
classes of tradejs today,, with cash markets
in the southwest very weak, Kansas City
snowing losses ot 3 to 6c and low grades at
Minneapolis 3c lower. Canadian wheat In
the latter market was 42c. over Minne
apolis and it was stated that Canadian
farmers are. beginning to liquidate, while
tho Americans are not selling fast, al
though ther Is a fair sized quantity- to be
nan ana exporters in tno southwest ap
pear able to secure-their wants by bidding
up ror tnem. premiums at the gulf were
la highor. Tt is said that the British
have 20,000,000 bushels, to sell to complete,
their season's requirements.
Dark No. 1 northern from Canada, which
sold r.t 45c over May at Minneapolis
Wednesday, declined to 4"c to 43c over to
days. In western Canada where Minne
apolis mills recently paid ISc over May,
the price was down to 13o over as tho
result or the ratling orr In the demand.
St. Louis was $2o, Omaha 2c and Kan-
sss City Z(g6tj lower.
