GRAIN FUTURES UNCHANGED DN CHICAGO BOARD Wheat, Corn Show Signs of Weakness; Oats Continues Strong. By United Press CHICAGO, March 6—Grain futures opened practically unchanged on the Chicago Board of Trade today. Wheat and corn showed signs of a downward reaction, but oats continued to exhibit a strong undertone. Opening figures were wheat unchanged to L 4 cent off; corn unchanged to ?s cent lower; and oats unchanged to Va cent higher. Provisions higher. Wheat sentiment is still believed to be generally bullish, with news of the winter wheat crop largely governing price movements. The absence of any aggressive selling in corn during the last few days still is puzzling traders. Conditions are mostly bearish. With interest centered in wheat and com, oats are beginning to be neglected again. The market remains fundamentally strong. Chicago Grain Table —March 6 WHEAT— Prev. High. Low. 12:00. close.

In the Stock Market

ißy Thomson to McKlnnfln) NEW YORK, March 6.--In the midst of the big contest that is on between the bull and the bear we have a little item of news that means a tremendous lot to the country, to finance, to the stock market. It is just a few lines quoting Mr. Loree. It isn't often that one of the higher circle of railroad men speaks above a whisper. Therefore we attach a lot of significance to the few words uttered confirming previous reports that negotiations were pending, but in addition, holding out a promise of results. With the eastern railroad problem solved, we will have taken the first step in the remaking of the entire railroad map of the United States. It will add immensely to thestability of the stock market. While waiting for this, let us not overlook the fact that the market within the we ?lc has demonstrated its independence. It has demonstrated the fact that it can't be swayed by a gesture. The banks of the country have surplus funds and these funds want to earn the upkeep and thefore come here, and business is going on as usual. We believe the short interest is still too large for comfort.
