NO BROAD PRICE MOVES EXPECTED Wheat Opens Less Than # Half Cent Lower. Hu United Press CHICAGO, March 16—Sentiment in the wheat trade at the opening of the Chicago Board of Trade was more mixed today, but it seemed to be the consensus that ho broad price swings would be witnessed. Liverpool was again lower than expected, and weather conditions over the belt are splendid, which were the principal factors in causing prices to open U to % lower than yesterday’s close. • Corn opened unchanged to %c lower than the previous close. This grain seems to have more friends than wheat favox-able to the buying side and has shown remarkable resistance to selling pressure, in spite of the fact that yellow corn in the cash market has been offered at anywhere from 4c to 6c under May delivery basis. Oats are holding within a narrow range, influenced by action of other grains. Opening quotations were unchanged from Wednesday’s close. Provisions opened steady.

FAILURE RESULTS FROM ATTEMPTED SALES EXTENSION Evidence of Fundamental Strength of Business Responsible.
Average Stock Prices
Average of twenty industrials Tuesday was 160.03. off .40. Average of twenty rails was 126.01. off 1.12. Average of forty bonds w’as 96.61, up .02. Bu United Press NEW YORK, Atarch 16. —Tuesday's sharp reaction just before the close was set down by most observers as the product of technical impairment created by the recent sweeping advances in high priced industrials, particularly since nothing happened in the outside world to account for the set-back. Instead, news developments emphasized the soundness of current economic (Conditions. Explanation for the fresh advances in bonds was afforded in the announcement that Secretary Mellon was receiving gratifying response to his offer to exchange 3% per cent five-year notes for Second Liberty 4 1 45, and that more than $1,000,000,000 of the latter issued had already been presented for conversion. Tax Shows Prosperity A high rate of prosperity throughout the country was reflected in income tax payments which were running far beyond estimates, while the statement of our export trade for February showed the largest balance in favor of the United States in six years. Continuation of the large export balance demonstrated why the country has received net gold imports of $67,000,000 in the first two months of this year, compared witli a net loss of $54,000,000 in the corresponding period of 1926. In view of this evidence of fundamental strength of business structure, attempts to extend yesterday's selling movement encountered little success in the early dealings. Active oils were forced to new lows, but the general run of the industrials displayed effective resistance around the previous closing levels. Bigger Profits It is estimated that profits for the first quarter this year for General Motors will be between $45,000,000 and $50,000,000. equal to around $5 a share on $8,700,000 common shares. This would compare with the net profit of $34,854,816, in the first quarter of 1926, but last year's profits did not include the minority interest in Fisher Body since acquired.

Wrecked Sister Ship
How narrow was the steamship City of Richmond’s escape from the watery fate which overtook her sister ship, the City of Annapolis, after they collided off Smith's Point, Va„ was evident when the Richmond finally made its way into Baltimore. Although the Annapolis sank swiftly, the casualties were few —one missing and two injured.

In the Cotton Market
(By Thomson & McKinnon) NEW YORK. March 16.—My guess that the traders would begin to sell the market yesterday proved to be true. They did not dislodge enough cotton to supply their requirements. and when they tried to cover the rallv ensued. The-real situation is the same. Demand is easing. Sell some cotton on all hard spots. I think profits will follow and put you in a nice position later in the spring to take advantage ol any bullish news that may come out.

Called Liar by G. B. 5.
Miss Stephenson and “G. B. S.” APPLETON, Wls., March 15.—A11 “ingenious young liar” is Miss Miriam Stephenson, 19, sophomore at Lawrence College here, according to George Bernard Shaw, the English critic and novelist. Miss Stephenson recently wrote a thesis on Shaw's philosophy, and, thinking he might be interested in it, sent a copy of it to Shaw in London. Shaw replied: “You are quite an ingenious young liar. How many marks did they give you? A career as a journalist is indicated. Good luck to you!" In the thesis, Miss Stephenson called the Englishman a "Mephiatophelian personality,” and said of him: “What the world agrees with, he disagrees with; what the world (rejects, he accepts.” She is uncertain whether she will follow Shaw’s advice and become a Journalist. But she was pleased at Shaw’s comeback.

LUMBER DEMAND LOWER Keilurtinn Brought About by Steady Decline of Building Operations. Bu Times Special NEW YORK. March 16.—The downward trend of building since October, 1925, has resulted in a decreasing lumber demand, The Brookmire Economic Service, Inc., states in a lumber bulletin. A decrease In rural purchasing power anticipated so rthe spring and summer, and the prospect of little increase in railway purchases of lumber will contribute towards the decline. In the past four weeks, lumber production was 15 per cent less than that reported in the same period of 1926, orders were 17 per cent lower and shipments fell off 20 per cent.

MID-MONTH FINANCING TURNOVER INEFFECTIVE Millions Involved—Stocks Hold Most of Day Then Turn He^vy —Breaks Not Alarming.
By Elmer C. Wal/.cr, Manager United l’ress Financial Service. NEW YORK, March 16.—After holding up throughout most of the day leading stocks were heavily sold toward the close of the stock market on Tuesday. Breaks, however, not of alarming pro|>ortions, ’and good support developed on the decline. Oil shares and some of the rails, together with a largo number of industrials, met selling pressure. much of which was profittaking, while a few special shares advanced, giving the list an irrregular appearance at the close. No apparent effect was seen in the gigantic turnover of mid-month financing which involved billions of dollars for the Government, and a largo number of business firms paying dividends. Money ruled at 4 per cent throughout the session In ample supply. However, when the income tax checks are cashed a tightening may result. Little attention was paid to the rise of $6,000,000 in brokerage loans, which was in line with expectations. Down Since 190.1 Stocks opened strong with every indication that the rise would continue through tlie session. But in view of the recent sharp advances which has brought many Issues into their highest levels for all time the market was in need of a reaction. Selling began in a few isolated issues such as American Woolen which broke through its low level established in 1903. Atchison in the rails was depressed, but this selling was offset by remarkable strength in Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific, sending that issue to anew high. Other rails were generally lower at the close, heaviest losses being sustained by Gulf, Mobile & Northern, Lehigh Valley and Norfolk & Western. General Motors was strong through most of the day, reaching a new high level early and fluctuating in a narrow range until toward the close when it dropped with the rest of the market. Other motor shares sold off. Approaches Top Market United States Steel common catne within •% of its high and closed

Continental Baking A. placed on a $4 annual basis, compared with $8 paid previously, broke badly early, but recovered part of its loss. Bond*-, were buoyed up by another burst of strength in United States Government issues, two of the Treasury bonds reaching new high records. Curb stocks continued irregular. with several special Issues running up to new high ground. Cotton prices recovered sharply from an early drastic decline, while wheat values eased off. Sterling demand reached s4.B* for the first time since January, featuring the foreign exchange market.
