NEW TORK. March 24. The stock mar ket toppled over like an inverted pyra mid In the last half of today's session, after an early period in which several recent speculative favorites ascended to highest quotations In their history. Leaders reacted 4 to over 40 points from top levels of the morning and a con dition approaching demoralization char acterized the feverish active close, with call money at 14 per cent. The break was more severe and far-reaching than any movement since the early part of Febru uary. As the decline gathered greater mo mentum there were rumors that the banks were calling loans at the suggestion of the federal reserve board. General Motors again furnished the pyrotechnics, rising lOie points In the first hour to the new maximum of 410 and declining precipitately to 3t6. closing at that quotation with a net loss of 33ft points. The bond market was not affected by the movements of stocks, liberty Issues, for example, scoring moderate gains for the day. High-grade rails and industrials were only slightly changed.

POTA.TOa Oreisons, 15.503 per tack CHICAGO, March 24. Uneasiness on the part of shorts led to upturns in the price of corn today, notwithstanding further ex tensive publicity given to misdoings as cribed to speculators. The market closed nervous, c to 1 "4c net higher, with May $l..".rt&i l.r,fl and July 11. ."1 1.51 H. Oats gainrd fee to o. Provisions showed a I setback or 20c to ...tc. Fre selling asrribed to packers had a weakening influence on provisions. The ! effect of upturns in prain was counterbal anced by lower hog values. The Chicago market letter received yes terday by Overbcck & Cooke company of Portland said: "Corn again demonstrated Its sensitive ness to pit conditions rather than news developments. The rally after midday was based entirely on short covering. Receipts were estimated at 125 cars and the cash market Btarted weak, but steadied toward the close. Liverpool quoted corn futures at 2VaC lower, with Argentina offering spot at 5 to 6 cents decline. Exporters again canceled purchases to take about 168,000 bushels for the day. Advices from numer ous sections reported a slight improvement In the situation. A report that Germany had made application for a loan In Rotter dam to be used for the purchase of Amer lean corn was given little notice. A feel ing of indecision seems to be In the trade at the moment, which accounts for the Irregular fluctuations, but we believe that there will be enough hedging In the July delivery to prevent material advances. "Oats maintained independent strength, stimulated by firmness In the spot market and reports that downstate was ot'erbld ding Chicago. Some complaints of late seeding are heard on account of bad weather condition. This market will prob ably follow corn more or less, with the present price of cash premiums a restrain ing influence on prices." Leading futures ra n ired as follows; CORN'. High.

H. HAKAMP ASKS $50 CASE AGAINST S. DEVAK IX Planting: Near Xine ' and Subse quent Transplanting Starts Trou ble at Vancouver, Wash. VANCOUVER; Wash., March 24. (Special.) Simon Deyak, a local shoe dealer and repairer, owned two lots at 1310 and 1314 Harney street and while in possession of them, planted rose bushes near the line between the two lots. Finally he sold one lot to J. H. Hakamp. A dispute arose about the boundary line between the two lots and Deyak and Hakamp could not agree where it was, so a sur veyor was called in and he ran the line. It was found that Deyak had plant ed the roses on the land he sold, though he thought he was planting them on his own property. He went over and pulled up the rose bushes and planted them on bis side of the line. Hakamp did not like the action, and brought suit against Deyak for J50 damages. The case came up for trial before Cedrio Miller, justice of the peace, to day, and it was bitterly contested. Mr. Miller, after hearing the argu ments on both sides, could not de cide the case at once, so took it under advisement. SILOS TO BE INSPECTED Grange Xear Albany Plans to Visit Farms Today.
