MANY BONDS DROP
ON FAST TRADING
Market Shakes Off Recent
Sluggishness With Ex
panded Business Rally
NEW YORK, March 13—<£>>—
Bond prices dropped fractions to
more than two points Wednesday
in accelerated trade.
The market shook off recent
sluggishness and the day’s business
expanded to $5,350,000 from $3,660,
000 Tuesday.
Pressure centered on the rails
and the few strong spots in that
group merely accented the prevail
ing downtrend.
Rock Island convertible 4 l-2s
countered the general drift with
a 1 3-8 point gain at 28 following
court action in Chicago indicating
reorganization plans for the carrier
might undergo a review.
Another holdout was Lautarno
Nitrate incomes of ’75 which chalk
up another 3-point gain to match
Tuesday's advance.
Among a long list of losers were
Balamore and Ohio stamped con
vertibles at 81 1-2, Boston & Maine
4s at 101, Central of Georgia 5s
of ’59 at 25 7-8, Chicago & Alton
3s at 59 1-8, Chicago A Eastern
Illinois incomes of ’97 at 80 1-8,
St. Paul convertible 4 l-2s at 92 1-4’
N. Y. Central conversion 4s at 95
1-2, Frisco 4 l-2s at 46 3-4 and
Western Union 5s of ’60 at 103 3-4,
Most foreign dollar issues acted
independently of the domestic list
and finished with gains running to
more than 2 points. In this group
were issues of Chile, Uruguay
Brazil and Australia.
Few salec of TT c __
m the stock market resulted In
gains of 2-32 to 5-32 of a point
bringing prices in line with those
in over-the-counter trade. In the
latter market trends were lower.

NEW YORK COTTON
NEW YORK, March 13—(^—Cot
ton futures were narrow in slow
trading Wednesday. A resumption
of herge selling against purchases
of government cotton depressed
prices 65 cents a bale at one time
but the market recovered to close
30 cents a bale lower, except March
1946 delivery, which gained 90
cents a bale on a few covering
orders.
March offerings were scarce
with less than 7,000 bales still to
be liquidated.
Washington reports that the gov
ernment had prepared a directive
to raise margins, which is opposed
by the cotton exchanges, brought
predictions that such a move will
touch off a bitter fight between
the farm bloc in congress and the
price agencies.
Futures closed 90 cents a bale
higher to 30 cents lower.

CHICAGO, March 13—(Ji-(US
DA)—Selling quality of cattle re
ceipts improved Wednesday. Most
of them running to steers, but the
market for fed steers and yearlings
moved slowly with prices off as
much as 25 cents under Monday’s
levels.
The ceiling top on steers was
paid only sparingly, with the next
highest price at $17.75, little above
$17.50, and most ranging between
$15.00 and $17.25. Heifers managed
to hold fully steady, the best of
them at $16.90 with most at $14.00
to $16.25. All cow, bull, and vealer
prices ruled steady, but on very
small runs of each, and stock
cattle were in negligible supply.
Only odd vealers brought $17.00,
the practical top set at $16.50.
Shippers took 1,500 of the scarce
6,500 salable hogs, another 7,000
Consigned direct to packers, all
holding close to or on ceiling prices.
Slaughter lambs were mostly
steady and ewes little changed.
The practical lamb top was $15.35
for three loads of good and choice
fed wooled westerns, although
small, local Kiiiers paid $io.ou ior
a deck of 981b. woolskins. Slaughter
ewes brought $8 00. Total receipts
included 11,000 cattle, 500 calves,
and 4,500 sheep.

CHICAGO GRAIN
CHICAGO, March 13. —(£>>—De
spite a temporary reaction to weak
er securities and cotton markets,
grain futures staged a general
rally shortly before the close Wed
nesday and finished with substan
tial gains.
Sustained commission house de
mand held wheat steady to strong
all day, and left all deliveries at
or near ceiling prices on gains of
1 1-8 cent a bushel for September
and December.
May rye, as usual, roamed over
the broadest price range, fluctuat
ing more than 3 cents and finish
ing as much as 1 3-4 cents to the
good, although all deliveries at
Winnipeg advanced the 5-cent
daily limit.
Wher.t closed unchanged to 1 1-8
cents above yesterday’s final quo
tations, May $1.83 .1-2 ceiling; corn
un hanged at $1.21 1-2 ceiling bids;
oats 1-4 to 1 cent higher, May 83
cent ceiling; rye unchanged to 1
3-4 up, May $2.16 1-4—3-8; barley
unch. iged to 5-8 up, May $1.26 1-2
ceiling.
After advancing fractions to
around a cent a bushel in early
dealings, oats encountered moder
ate profit taking but a fair volume
of short covering and demand from
cash interests absorbed the of
ferings and eventually inspired the
rallv.
Stocks of rye in local private
elevators were reported to have
decreased' at the rate of 100,000
bushels a week for the past
month, leaving only about 751,000
bushels at the start of this week.
At this rate, traders said today the
supplies here will be exhausted by
the first of May. Thus far this week,
shipments have totaled more than
100,000 bushels.
