STOCK MARKET CLOSES STEADY Highest Levels for Day s Touched in Final Trade. NEW YORK. March 19.—The stock market closed steady today. Many stocks sold at new high levels for the day in the last few minutes, due mainly to short covering. Studebaker was active and strong, advancing to 69%, compared with its early low of 66, and Pierce-Arrow rose 2% points to 31%. United States Steel, after selling at 81%, reacted to 81%. Cruioible yielded from 91% to 90%. American Woolen, after moving up 2 points to 68%. fell to 67. Central Leather was in demand, making a gain of 1% points to 40%. Mexican Petroleum held within a narrow range around 147%. Reading rose fractionally to 69%. Total sales of stocks for today were 431,400 shares: bonds, $5,100,000. Total sales of stocks for the week were bonds, 53,711,000. (By Thomson A McKinnon.) w —March 19— ■ There was just a little uncertainty at ue opening of today’s market, with a Moderate amount of stock for sale. Some buyers were content wit hthe moderate profits in sight. At the same time it was noticeable that commission houses were prepared to buy stocks at cunces■ions. Orders were appearing for most active 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 attention and scoring some gains, though, leadership was still maintained by Studebaker, Chandler, Baldwin and Asphalt. We are approaching the time when action may be expected that will Improve world conditions. In Russia move has already been made in this direction, through the trade agreement with England, which involves a complete change on the part of the present Russian government in its policies and we may expect at any day the cooperation of onr own Government in settling the German reparation 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 side and it will more than likely develop that they have overstayed their market. CLEARING HOUSE STATEMENT.

Stock Market Review

NEW YORK, March 19.—The Snu financial review today said: “There was a good tone to the stock market in today’s short session and trading was in relatively substantial volume, although it was apparent from the beginning that operations represented little more than the speculative impulses of the floor traders. "At the opening prices were a bit irregular, but strength was not slow in developing in various quarters. “The steel group did particularly well In the first half hour and so did the motors. "Moderate fluctuations through the second hour failed to bring about material change in the character or trend of the market. The higher levels were pretty well maintained. "Bonds were quiet and narrowly irregular. "Cotton did little more than hold its own.’’

GRAIN PRICES SUFFER DECLINES Light Buying and Foreign News Chief Mart Influences. CHICAGO, March ID.—Grain prices declined on the Chicago board of trade today as the result of bearish foreign news and light buying. Offerings were free. Provisions were higher. March wheat opened at $1.54, off %c. and lost 2c later. May wheat opened off %c at $1.45, and closed down 3c. May corn opened off %c, at 67%c, and closed an additional %c off. July corn opened off %c and dropped %e additional at the close. May oats opened unchanged at 41%r and dropped %c at the close. July opts opened unchanged at 43%c and lost %c at the close. (By Thomson and McKinnon.) —March 19 — Wheat —The lack of any important demand, either export or milling, ‘or cash wheat, together with a forecast of widespread 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 abandoning 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 marketing of the Argentine crops is expected to bring a good portion of their surplus in direct competition with the new crop of North America. It Is a little premature to become strongly convinced of lower wheat prices on crop outlook at this season at seeding time. However, the important factor in the market Just now is the small demand, either Immediate or prospective. In case the Monday weather map shows good precipitation over Nebraska and Kansas there will probably be a continuation of the liquidation now going on. Corn and Oats —A better domestic demand has developed in corn and oats, although by uo means of large proportion. This condition was ignored as It is believed that the present accumulations in elevators nre too large to be absorbed by such demand as exists. The widening discount for the May delivery reflects the hedging load against elevator accumulations. Nothing has developed as yet to suggest the idea of any permanent advance in prices. Provisions-—The weakness in grains was responsible -for some commission selling of hog products. There is very good domestic distribution and some evidence of a fair foreign demand. In the event of any broadening of tbe export bids prices will be responsive to smaller receipts of hogs which are expected. CHICAGO GRAIN. —March 19— WHEAT— Open. High. Row. Close.

Scores France for Suffrage Attitude PARIS, March 19.—0n the occasion of its fiftieth anniversary the French League for the Rights of Women publishes a book called “Fifty Years of Feminism.” It carries a prelude by ex-President Raymond Poincare in which the latter, addressing Madame Maria Verone, president of the league, says: “You know that I am for the rights of women. Is it not rather humiliating for France to see other countries grad-i ually according women their rights of suffrage while here nothing has been done in the matter?” V-Neck Dresses Held Conducive to Health LANSING, Mich., March 19.—At last—a real, honest-to-goodness argument for woman's low-cut gown.
