The local uplift was In Un with the ad vance In eastern option markets. There was not the same gain, however.

Railway Strike Settlement and Supreme Court Decision Give Market Sudden Upturn. CHICAGO, March 19. Decided advances today In the value of wheat followed the railway strike settlement and the Supreme Court decision that the Adamson eight-hour law was constitutional. Prices closed strong. 2Hc to 4Vfcc net higher, with May at $1.83 to $1.88 'd and July $1.58H to $1.58Vx. Corn gained ITsc to 8c oats c to c and pro visions 27c to $1.15. At first the wheat market made only moderate upturns In response to announce ments that the threatened walkout of rail road employes had been declared off. Tem porarily bullish sentiment was restrained by tbe expected continuance of such freight em bargoes as had been due to congested fa cilities. Besides, demand from . would-be purchasers waa checked by uncertainty over the Increasing destruction of American shipping in the war sone. Bearish crop reports from the Southwest as well as a revival of rumors of efforts for a separate peace between Austria and Rus sia acted further as a transient weight on tbe Adamson law decision, bowever. the buying movement broadened out and quo tations went up with a rush. A substantial decrease In the United States visible supply total counted likewise In favor of higher prices, and so. too. did the can cellation of railroad embargoes. Corn advanced to new high price records. Seaboard buying and active demand from in dustries were strongly In evidence and were ascribed largely to the strike settlement. Oats rose with other grain. Southern call for cash oats was keen and premiums were offered for Immediate shipment. Sharp gains In provisions accompanied the improvement in the rait situation.
