Grain Mter by wire from Chicago says that the American Relief associ ation, in an appeal to the government to extend credit to Europe, mentions a surplus of 60,000,000 barrels of flour in the United States which can not be sold abroad for cash. The enormous carry over of all foods and feed into the new crops is an ultimate load on prices, prices, figuring the carrying charges.” New York wire says that General Mo tors corporation made application to list on the stock exchange temporary cer tificates for 15,703,310 shares common stock without par value. If application Is acted upon favorably by listing com mittee trading in new stock will be in augurated at once on stock exchange. Its proposed to convert temporary certificates into permanent certificates as of May 3. Review of grain market from Chicago by wire says: “Corn—History of grain markets has repeated Itself to the ex tent that Improved receipts stimulated the demand. Shippers were active buy ers. turning the market from what prom Ised to be a weak condition to a very strong one. It is quite probable that today's receipts were the largest which will be seen for some time to come and as the action of the market demonstrates that expected movement has been fully discounted. It seems proper to assume that there will be no periods of pro longed weakness. On the contrary, the May delivery should show strength from this time forward. Such movement as appears after this will be at the ex pense of country elevator stocks, as the farmers not only show no disposition to press tbelr offerings, but will soon be busy with spring work.

It was estimated that local killers took no more than 4,000 liogs and out siders not more than 2,500, indicating between 2,000 and 3,000 were left unsold. The general sales were 23c lower, from $14.25 to $14.75, but there was less de cline in the top price of $14.90 and some of the heaviest hogs at $13.50 were steady. Pigs were sharply lower at sl4 down and there was not much change in the prices of sows from $12.75 down. Cattle. The receipts of 1.400 cattle were not unusually large for Wednesday, but there were a good many more than the daily average for some time and there were fully as many or more than necessary to meet the requirements, although the out side demand was larger than a week ago. Conditions were such that a steady level was maintained iu prices so far as the good cattle In their class were concerned, but low grade stock, especially canner cows, were fully 25c lower. As usual for some time there were few cattle in any department that were qualified to sell at extreme quotations. The calf market was strong, if not a little higher, and there were Isolated sales of veals as high as $22. The demand for feeding cattle was a little larger, but not to the ex tent of affecting prices in favor of the selling side. Sheep. There were fewer than 100 sheep and lambs arrived for the mid week market and there was no change indicated In prices. It was observed that a normal run could have been sold at prVcoa sbowu iu the current list of quotations. , CATTLE.
