London Market. NEW YORK, March 27.—The Commercial Ad- vertiser's London financial cablegram says Americans were again the main feature in the market here to-day, although the volume of | business was smailer than vesterday. They opened strong, well above parity, Paris and | Berlin also buying. This movement was met by heavy realizing and prices reacted, but rallied somewhat and remained dull until 3| o'clock, when New York opened with a spotty | tendency, selling most things and later every- thing. “In the house prices closed weak, but there was some rally in the street, most securi- ties showing gains on balances. Southern P: cific was a London favorite fn the morning Rates were stiff, 515@6, but tdkers of Balti- more and Ohio ‘were. pretty numerous. Con- #ols and the war loan were weak, the tendency in money being to harden, though loan and discount rates were unchanged and there were some signs of an early break. The Bank of England did a considerable fresh business in discounts. Sflver was firm, the East buying. The Bank of England bought £11,000 gold in bars and got £19,000 from Holland. | CLOSING.

The cash business was slack, only $0,000 bushels belng reported soid here iast night for export. The market acted somewhat like an oversold | one, as it took but little to send shorts to cover. May opened a shade down at G%@6s%c, influenced by lower cables, and shortly after- ward touched 65%c. The moderate receipts | caused covering at the decline and May rallied | to 65%e, but on profit-taking eased off to G6%c. | The decrease in the world's visible came as a | further ‘support and May again advanced to | | 66c. At the top there was more profit-taking, | but the loss was slight, the market closing | firm, with May %c up at 65%c. | With Liverpool %@%d higher at the close | the local corn market persisted in going down, | closing easy. Country acceptances were small. ' Trade was less active than yesterday. Longs [let out a few lines which materially assisted in the depressing of the price. May closed | | e down. Oats were firm without being very active. There was a fair demand for sumeulc ship- ment and the export demand was somewhat improved in order to work cargoes before the export rate advances on April 2. May closed % up.
