There was Just a little uncertainty at
the opening of Saturday's market, withs
moderate amount of stock for sale.
Some buyers were content with the mod
erate profits in sight. At the same time
it was noticeable that commission houses
were prepared to buy stocks at conces
sions.
Orders were appearing for most actlre
Issues and there was little comfort for
the short in such a situation. It was.
therefore, not at all surprising that a
little later this element, becoming uneasy,
began to accept stock as offered.*
Values began to Improve and It was
again gratifying to note an increasing
Interest and new specialties attracting at
tention and scoring some gains, though,
leadership was still maintained by Stuae
baker. Chandler, Baldwin and Asphalt.
We are approaching the time when ac
tion may be expected that will improve
world conditions. In Russia move has
already been made in this direction,
through the trade agreement with Eng
land. which involves a complete change
on the part of the present Russian gov
ernment in its policies and we may expect
at any day the cooperation of our own
Government in settling the German rep
aration problem and thus bring on real
peace.
Our corporations have gone through
the process of deflation and have charged
off losses on inventories. This means
business now being conducted at deflated
levels and the future statements will
show profits rather than losses.
The bearish element have undoubtedly
overdone their aide and it will more than
likely develop that they have overstayed
their market.

—March 21 —
Wheat-—The lack of any important de
mand. either export or milling, for cash
wheat, together with a forecast of wide
spread precipitation over the wheat belt
increased the belief wheat prices must
decline to some point which will attract
a better demand. There is some evidence
in the Southwest that farmers are aban
doning their ideas of higher prices,
probably because of the present good
outlook for the new crop. Seeding of
spring wheat is progressing rapidly and
will be completed within another week
in certain sections, If continuation of the
present weather. The belated market
ing of the Argentine ciops is expected
to bring a good portion of their surplus
in direct competition with the new crop
of North America. It is a little prema
ture to become strongiy convinced of
lower wheat prices on crop outlook at
this season at seeding time. However,
the important factor In ine market just
now is the small demand, either immedi
ate or prospective. In case today's
weather map shows good precipitation
over Nebraska and Kansas there will
probably be a continuation of the liqui
dation now going on.
Corn and Oats A better domestic de
mand has developed in corn and oats, al
though by no means of large proportion.
This condition was Ignored as it is be
lieved that the present accumulations in
elevators are too large to he absorbed by
such demand as exists. The widening
discount for the May delivery reflects the
hedging load against elevator accumula
tions. Nothing has developed as yet to
suggest the idea of any permanent ad
vance in prices.
Provisions—The weakness in grains
was responsible for some commission
soiling of hog products. There is very
good domestic distribution aud some evl
denes of a fair foreign demand, in the
event of any broadening of the export
bids prices will be responsive to smaller
receipts of hogs which are expected.

VOTES TONIGHT
ON TRAFFIC CODE
Council Also May Pass on
Market Nurses’ Home
Bonds.
The ordinance embodying anew traffic
code, which provides for flat-to-the-curb
parking in practically all downtown
streets, is expected to be reported out of
committee and placed before the city
council for passage at the regular meet
ing tonight. The measure was introduced
Feb. 7.
Besides doing away almost entirely
with angle parking in the congested dis
trict the ordinance would move the south
boundary of the district from Georgia
street to South street, taking in all the
Union Station neighborhood.
Two other ordinances are in the hands
of committees and may be brought to a
vote tonight. One would authorize a
bond issue of $125,000 for rehabilitation
of the city market and the other would
provide for a bon’d Issue of $500,000 for
construction of a nUrses’ home at the
city hospital.
The city administration is understood
to be anxious to get these measures
through so that Mayor Charles W. Jew
ett may have at least one important pub
lic improvement to which he may point
when his term is ended, but the admin
istration councilmen, who control the
committees In which the bond ordinances
rest, are proceeding warily out of resoect
for the power of the four anti-aatulnlx
tratiou members. Bond issue ordinances
carrying appropriations require a two
thirds vote.
With I>r. O. B. I'ettijohn, one of the
administration members, confined to his
bed with a serious illness, the administra
tion can be sure of mustering only four
votes. The necessary number is six.
Corporation Counsel Samuel Ashby
was working upon an ordinance to au
thorize the issuance of $375,000 worth ol
bonds with which to complete the financ
ing of track elevation work until the end
of this year. He expected to have the
ordinance ready for introduction tonight.
The bond ordinance will provide that
the bonds beijr 5% per cent Interest and
mature serially at the rate of $15,000 per
year for twenty-five years beginning
Jan. 1, 1923. Since the Interest rate Is
more than 5 per cent It will be neces
sary for the city after getting the ap
proval of the council to get the consent
of the State board of tax commissioners
in accordance with provisions of anew
amendment to the State tax law.
The nurses' home and market honse
j bond issue ordinances also will have to
,be approved by the tax board because
' of the same law, since they provide 5%
per cent interest.
Four ordinances ratifying contracts
for the purchase of motor equipment will
Ik 1 introduced.
Two salary ordinances are to be in
troduced. one of which would increase
the pay of Miss Laurel Thayer, protef
tion officer of the city court, to $2,000
1 per year, which increase was authorized
1 by a special act of the General Assem
bly, and another which would increase
j the pay of hostlers, employed in de
| partments under the control of the board
j of public safety from S9OO to $l,lBO per
year. The ordinance Increasing the pay
; of most employes under the board of
safety, passed two weeks ago, was nnln
; tentionaily worded so that the hostlers,
who have been paid $l,lBO heretofore
were cut to S9OO, it was said.
