DECLINES STRIKE
MANY STOCKS
Poor Statements Cause Rails
to Drop.
NEW TORK, March 10.—Heavy selling
of leading rails and Industrials caused
sharp declines on the stock market to
day.
The publication of the extremely poor
earning statements of manv railroads
during January, together with the un
favorable condition that many lines find
themselves In, as emphasised by the
wage reductions announced and con
templated by numerous roads, was re
sponsible for the drop in the rails.
The passing of dividends by some cor
porations. a drop in the price of copper
to 12c, the lowest price touched since
1914, and the need of new financing by
many other corporations led to the sell
ing of the industrial group
The decrease In the unfilled tonnage
of the United States Steel Corporation
during February of 639,000 tons, broke
that Issue to anew low for the year at
79%, a decline of 2 points.
Baldwin yielded 1% points to 87% and
Republic Steel fell 2 points to 64%.
Reeding dropped to 70%. Southern
Pacific dropped to 72%, St. Paul to 36
and Great Northern to 70%.
Mexican Petroleum yielded 1 point to
154%.
Chandler and Btudebaker sold off frac
tionally from the best.
Total sales stocks today were 800,000
shares; bonds, $11,056,000.
(By Thomson A McKinnon).
—March 10 —
From various sources we continue to
receive favorable trade reports. Today
the statement from Ford and from the
president of the Chandler Motor Com
pany would ordinarily have been bene
ficial In a market way, but conditions in
general are still so very disappointing
that It is becoming exceedingly discour
aging, especially with railroads going
from bad to worse, not only because of
very poor business, but unreasonably
high operating costs, and with efforts to
correct this by reducing wages likely
to bring on labor trouble.
Then we have a continued dullness in
the steel and Iron Industry apparently
a deadlock, the public not buying, and
the companies holding up prices. This
naturally creates more doubt, and is re
sponsible for the statement today that
the United States Stejel Corporation ton
nage has again decreased over 600,000
tons.
The public Is beginning to lose faith,
which is the one thing that has been
feared, and selling now is of a liqui
dating character, and according to all
precedent when liquidation begins it may
continue until it runs its course.

—March 10-
Wheat—We have felt the farm grain
reserves today in the market. Some short
covering, based on reports of further ex
port business, received a decided check
when confirmed reports to hand of pur
chases by France of Argentine wheat at
15 cents under United States parity. There
were some sales of United States wheat
reported to France and Italy, but it
was generally supposed to be closing old
business, or working on moderate amounts
for prompt shipment, while Argentine,
cheaper wheat, was getting shipped.
There were some reports of green bugs,
but they were not taken seriously. Min
neapolis reported that the largest part of
the receipts at that point and Duluth
were of the Canadian variety. Kansas
City reported liberal increase in tneir
stocks of both wheat and corn. The
trading showed, all through the session,
that the short Interest was largely elim
inated and that it would tak something
new to again put prices higher. A re
port of three cargoes of wheat worked to
France could not be confirmed at all.
With the known large quantities of wheat
that we have In our reserves. It looks
like an up hill job working for higher
prices, unless the motive comes from ab
solute crop damage.
Corn —There was nothing new In corn.
It took its tone from wheat. Receipts
were a little more moderate, but so much
corn is moving that it will Insure heavy
increases in the visible supply for two
or three weeks to come. A little ex
port business was reported, but cuts lit
tle figure, ns our available quantity is
practically unlimited. When the wheat
market showed weakness, corn very
promptly followed, and we are of the
opinion that it will take something more
than the price of wheat to keep corn
from declining In the near future.
Oats- Cuts showed no distinctive char
acteristics today at all, taking their tone
from the other grains.
Provision* —Higher hogs were unable
to check the easiness In the provision
market which, more or less, sympathized
wiih the weakness In gru;n today. We
see no very great decline In provisions,
but one must -pick buying places on de
clines.
