The reversal of the last hour was accelerated by a renewal of short sell- ing, based in part on an unexpected rige in call money to six per cent, ac- commodations of that character hold- ing over next Monday’s holiday. i ‘War shares figured prominently in the advance of the forenoon, although peace talk was again the foremost fac- tor. Rails derived some of their early support from further improve- ment in eastern transportation con- ditions. Revival of public interest was sug- gested by the bullish enthusiasm of the first hour, the turnover of that/ period aggregating 40 per cent of the! total. Specialties of various grades denoted the obvious influence of pro- fessional operations, but yesterday's! sensational movements were lacking. United States steel monopolized speculative atention throughout, but! forfeited its fractional advance, clos- ing at a net decline of 1% points. Other industrials, also rails and cop: pers, pursued much the same course, ‘but shippings retained part of their! substantial gains with miscellaneous issues. Sales amounted’ to 960,000 shares. French municipals were the heavy/ features of the bond list. Liberty. is-| sues improved, 314’s selling at 98.30 to; 98, first 4’s at 96.68 to 96.60 and sec-! ond 4's at 96.04 to 95.98.

DOWNWARD INGLINE ON BETTER OUTLOOK Corn Market Dominated by Peace Talk From the Opening of Board LIBERAL OFFERINGS GIVE OATS SLANT Chicago, UL, together wilh Peace gossip ting weather the corn market to slant. Pri clos yesterday's finish to March, and 12 underwent a s net. Provisions gaine Right from the outset ket has largely hominates talk, and especially so by London as- sertions that Austria had made re- peated advances to President Wilson. ‘Many traders continued also to act on bearish inferences from the ‘presi- dent's letter referring to the inter- national outlook for 1918. Sharp atten-| tion was given likewise to ajl news touching disturbances in Germany. At- tempts to rally the market proved to be of little use, owing a good deal to the fact that rising temperatures pre- vailed throughout the corn betl, and that no return to abnormal low levels was now in sight. Liberal. country oerinffgs had much to do with weakness of oats. Eesides, export demand was lacking both from the east and the gulf. Optimism regarding peace chances helped to lift provisions. Purchasing assumed to be for the food administra-| tjon acted as an additional prop to! values, Further government orders soon were expected.
