Liberty bonds led the way with a rise of some 20 cents or so, the sec- ond and fourth 4%s being the most active. Among the rails the only weak spot was the Pennsylvania 10-year 7s, which had sold down to 100 yesterday, and which went back to 101 New York Central 7s were also stronger, above 101, while the 6 per cent debentures rallied three-fourths of a point, to 88%. St. Louis and San Francisco issues had a fair recovery, with the adjustments at one time up to 65%—that is, a point above last night, although part of this gain was lost later in the day. The income 6s also gained a point, to 46%. ‘The $7,000,000 San Joaquin Light and Power 7 per cents, offered to the public this morning, were reported late in the afternoon as going rather slow. Their principal attraction apart from the strong measure of security back of them is that they have until 1851 to run. Otherwise it might seem as if the price of 97.50, where the yleld is 7.20 per cent, is a bit high. French 8s were a bit steadier at 973%. Norway 88 were also up a frac- tion at 97. United Kingdom 538 of 1937 were unchanged at 85%. Japa- nese 4s were steady at 64. City of Paris 6s continued to be picked up around the 96 level. —_— COTTON MARKETS. NEW YORK, March 15.—Steadler Liverpool cables and reports from London that Great Britain might soon sign the trade agreement with Russia promoted covering and some scattered investment buying in the cotton mar- ket today.

GHICAGO, March 15.—Fresh export business led to moderate upturn today in the price of wheat. Realizing on the part_of holders, however, took place on the bulges and brought about reactions. Later. renewal of reports about green bugs in the southwest tended somewhat to favor the bull side of the market. Opening quotations, which varied from unchanged figures to 1% higher. with March 155 to 155% and May 147 to 1.48, were followed by a general sag and then by upturns again. Corn eled the action of wheat. After opening unchanged to % higher, including May at 68 to 68%, the market declined a little and then scored & ma- terial advance. Oats were governed by the course of other cereals, starting %a% off to a like advance, May 42% to 42%, and after weakening temporarily went upgrade. Provisions averaged lower with hogs. Lightness of corn receipts had con- iderable bullish effect. The close was steady at % to 1% net advance, with May 69. Subsequently wheat estimates that export buying in the last two days totaled 5,000,000 bushels caused © sharper gains to develop.

BY STUART P. WEST. NEW YORK, March 15—The stock market today was another one of the type which has now become familiar. Operators on the short side con- tinued to search about for vuinerable stocks and succeeded in uncovering enough of these to keep the general list uncertain without, however, bringing about any weakness. The unfortunate Atlantic Gulf and West Indies shares made a new low record with the same lack of resistance that the stock has shown all through its forty-point decline in the last two months. United Fruit was another one that yielded readily to attack, and Mexican ~ Petroleum and the pan- Americans selling, their quarterly dividends were definitely weak. Gen- eral Asphalt and Vanadium were others which melted away under pressure: It was to be noted that all these weak points were among stocks of the highly speculative type which are most susceptible to manipulation either for higher or for lower prices. Among the more stable and more representative issues the tone was steady in face of the break in the specialties, and there were moments when quite a part of the list looked decidedly strong. The steels gave a good account of themselves through- out, and so did most of the equip- ment shares. Low priced oils like Sinclair, Pacific Oil and Pure Oil stood up stoutly against the selling in the Mexican Petroleums, which in- dicated that the latest price cutting in the oil trade was having no gen- eral eflect on the shares concerned. Encouraging News. The most encouraging development in the overnight news was the ac- count _of the conference at Philadel- phia between the heads of the four railway brotherhoods and the repre- sentatives of the big trunk lines. at which the statement was given out that progress was being made pre- sumably toward reaching some sort of an understanding. This strength- ened very materially the view which was held yesterday in Wall street cir- cles that the present wage dispute would follow the course of others be- fore it and be adjusted by a compro- mise. Railway shares responded to the better feeling with an all around advance, extending to a point or more in some instances. Southern Pacific, Union Pacific. New York Central and Atchison did the best among the divi- dond-paying rails, while Kansas City Southern was the leader of the junior issues. Reading Action. Reading at its new low established today was selling at the equivalent of 52, counting in the value of the rights to which present purchasers of the stock are entitled. This means a return of nearly S per cent and puts the stock nearly on a par with Southern Pacific, which at today's price returns 8% per cent, and rela- tively cheaper than Atchison, return- ing 7% per cent As _an _investment proposition, therefore, Reading might appear at- tractive to those who sold out in the 808, knowing ahead of time the terms of ‘the segregation plan. The idea is that Reading insiders, who un- loaded 20 points higher, realizing that the plan would be a disappoint- ment to the market, are now begin- ning to take back their stock. In addition to the fact that the shares are quoted reasonably low on a strictly investment basis, there is the possibility, constituting an extra ' attraction, from a speculative stand- point, thaf the terms of the segrega- tion scheme may be upset and a new project for separating the coal prop- erties worked out which will be more in favor of the holders of Read- ing common. e — MONEY AND EXCHANGE.
