NEW YORK. March 20. Today's stock
market proved a surprise even to many of
Its friends by the manner in which it re
sisted pressure and recovered from an early
reaction that for a time promised to in
volve practically the entire list. The final
quotations would seem to indicate an un
settled closing, owing to the prevalence of
fractional losses. Such was not the case,
however, as the undertone was quite strong
and most issues showed substantial gains
over the low levels of the morning.
Sentiment was somewhat confused and
Inclined to pessimism in the forenoon, but
It was the more or less general opinion that
the market was entitled to a good reaction,
owing to its recent activity and the belief
that considerable disribution had been ef
fected under cover of successive million
share days. As a matter of fact the early
action of the market seemed to bear out
this view. It was not long, however, be
fore the rails began to display pronounced
strength, with great activity exhibited by
New York Central, Atchison, Southern Pa
cifie, Baltimore & Ohio and Pennsylvania.
The good showing made by the rails served
to offset the unsettlement and irregularity
in equipments and oils, as well as a few
of the recently active specialties.
A little later in the session steels be
Iran to move upward. The buying of Mid-
vale, noted for several days, became even
more impressive and Bethlehem B took
the leadership In the group with a sharp
rise to new high levels. The strength of
the market was due largely to its healthy
technical position. It responded readily
to buying. Some of the minor items today
were favorable and it did not seem to re
quire much of an excuse to arouse buying
enthusiasm.
Railroad labor appears to be getting
more reasonable. There is an increase in
revenue car loadings and a decline in the
number of idle cars. Steel production is
increasing, with indications of more sta
b:lity in prices. Money, while steady at
3 per cent, is abundant at that figure,
and the new low record on bankers ac
ceptances furnishes a fair index of the
actual money situation.

Martin, a hosernan- of engine No. 29

OKLAHOMA CITY, Okla.. March- 20.
Overnight on the train from Kansas City
cne teems euddenly to leave the west and
here et Oklahoma City come into the
south. Oklahoma City looks like fc soutn
ern town. Its habits and manners are those
of the .south, and Just at this particular
juncture the climate of the south, for it
is as warm as mid-May, will be in, more
northerly latitudes.
This is cotton country. Three-fifths I
Oklahoma is devoted to cotton and the
remainder to wheat, but cotton predom
inates as an interest and as a measure
of the rise and fall of the prosperity of
the state. Just now the state of mind
of the farmers may be described accu
rately as one of hesitating optimism. The
turn for the better, so marked In the
states previously visited, is less apparent
here. Oklahoma is a full month behind
Iowa, Nebraska and Kansas on the road
to recovery. These people down here have
been more severely tried, perhaps, than
the corn and hog and cattle raisers. They
are not out of debt yet, and there will
not be a full restoration of confidence
until this year's crop is in. It must be a
good crop and yield good prices to bring
the farmer and merchants up level with
their obligations. The state has had two
cad years. It raised an enormous cotton
crop in 120, paying war-time prices for
labor and for ail of the other factors that
went into the making of the crop. This
cotton was marketed, for the most part,
at the bottom of a spectacular decline in
prices.
Whole State Takes Los.
The whole state took a heavy' loss. Last
year when prices Improved and the farmer
had a chance to sell his cotton on a
profitable basis the boll weevil invaded the
state and he had nothing to sell. These
two bad years, one on top of the other.
with the great shrinkage in farm prod
ucts values, have severely tried not only
the farmers, but also the merchants and
the bankers. There have been some bank
failures out here, and there would have?
been more had it not been for the aid
hat was extended from the outside. The
war finance corporation has loaned be
tween J5.000.000 and J6.000.000 in the
state since last autumn. This aid, mer
chants and farmers alike eagerly proclaim,
greatly eased the whole situation in the
Ktate. The fact that the government was
willing through the war finance corpora
tion to lend money on Oklahoma security
encouraged the local banks to lend more
freely. Indeed, oneIs told the measure
of the confidence that exists now is based
almost wholly on this aid .and the willing
ness to extend further aid if it is needed.
As it stands today this is an extraordi
narily interesting state. It Is quite unlike
any other etate in the union, in that its
population is a composite representation
of so many other states. It is seldom that
one encounters a native Oklahoman of
mature age. The average citizen when
questioned, whether merchant, banker,
farmer or what-not, declares himself to
be from Indiana, Tennessee, Arkansas,
Georgia, Illinois or Ohio or some other
neighboring state.
Fusing- Process Still On.
A line drawn north and south through
Oklahoma City, which is in the geograph
ical center of the state, and another line
drawn through it east and west, would
quarter the state into four distinct sec
tions, each representing a different type
of citizenship, a different soil and topo
graphical condition and distinct agricul
tural interests. The state is still in precess
of fusing. It is making its traditions and
backgrounds. It isn t afraid of new
things. It isn't fixed politically. -At one
election it will go democratic, at the next
republican. At the present moment one of
the senators ra a democrat and the other
republican. One branch tffc the legislature
republican ana the oner branch demo
cratic. Its citizens, as one encounters them
casually, are lively, engaging, active,
clearly accustomed to ups and downs ; in
brier, typical examples 01 tne pioneering
spirit. They are just emerging from a
tight corner, at least they hope they are
emerging, but they have had hard knocks
before. As they say: "If we have hard
luck again this year, and I don't think
we will, we will just Ijave to find another
toehold and; claw our way out again."
They have not had much, if any, time
to think about treaties, or our relations
with Europe or the tariff bill,, but they
do hope that they will not have to pay a
bonus to the soldiers on top of their other
burdens. As they commonly phrase it,
when questioned: "We want to do what's
right by the boys, but it would be a great
help to the folks out here if they could
wait until we get straightened a little. We
can't stand any more taxes just now."
The agricultural situation and condition
in Oklahoma shows a greater re qp very and
improvement than the banking situation,
which is still a sore spot. There will not
bo a full recovery unless and until the
crop this year is a full one and fetches i
the present or higher leveis of prices and
the small state banks get on a sounder
basis.

0RTH1ST WHEAT
ISWGiiS
Market Is Firm, But Little
Grain Is Selling.
DEMAND FOR ALL GRADES
Private Chicago Wire Reports Sen
timent Bullish on Continued
Inquiry From Europe.
The wheat market retained all of its
firmness yesterday, but the volume of
business done was small. The demand for
milling grades continued keen and $1.30
was again bid for export wheat, with few
sellers. The wheat left in the northwest is
In very strong hands and it apparently
will take higher prices than t'hoso now pre
vailing to bring it out.
At the Merchants' Exchange session Sat
urday's bds on all grades were repeated,
7he session was shortened to enable the
grain men to attend the wheat grades
meeting. Coarse-grain bids also were un
changed. The Chicago wire to the Qray-Rosen-baum
Grain company follows:
"Good selling on bulges, but persistent
buying in evidence on breaks. Trade not
large and chiefly local. Sentiment bullish
on continued export demand, chiefly new
crop for Germany., Visible decrease dis
appointing. Advise caution buying on
breaks. Europe must first digest wheat
put forward."
The Liverpool wheat market opened 14 d
higher and at noon was l?ld lower than
the opening and 114 d lower than Satur
day, at lis 64d. . ,
A London cable to Russell's News bu
reau said: "The French cereal crops show
excellent condition. Larger acreage is ex
pected possibly to counteract autumn
drought delays. World's exports of wheat
were again larger, amounting to 17,723,000
bushels, against 13,279,000 bushels last
week and 9,403,000 bushels last year. The
reaction of foreign markets to these heavy
world's shipments may have an important
bearing on price movements."
Terminal receipts, in cars, were reported
by the Merchants' Exchange as follows:

tinued crippled wire service between Win
nipeg and American markets. Receipts at
terminal elevators show a further in
crease and receipts from the interior are
going to increase steadily from now on,
which means very heavy stocks at the
head of the lakes when navigation opens.
Cash markets continued quiet and fea
tureless and premiums Were all un
fhanged from Saturday. The demand is
very ordinary for either spot or deferred
position.
Private cables were again decidedly out
of line and no new export business was
possible. Foreign advices claim that there
are very heavy shipments of wheat from
all exporting shares heading for markets
of the United Kingdom and the conti
nent. On this account buyers are more
or less indifferent. The foreign situation
appears to be more independent from the
point - of view of supply than for some
time, but no large accumulation of sur
plus supplies is anticipated. There ap
pears to be no immediate factor that' sug
gests any decided price change at the
moment. The market appears to be on
debatable ground. No actual scarcity of
supplies In sight with advices suggesting
export business to be renewed only on
good breaks from present levels.
EGG MAKKET ONE CENT HIGHER
Butter Also Firm With Active Demand
for Cubes.
The egg market was firmer -and about
one cent higher yesterday, owing to the
active demand for storing. The larger
buyers bid 19 cents to country shippers.
Resales on the street were at 19 cents.
For henneries, 21 cents was offered.
Butter was also firmer. Cubes were
scarce, particularly extras, ..which changed
hands at 35 cents. The demand for all
grades was good.
Poultry and dressed meat receipts were
moderate and prices were unchanged from
Saturday.

Lambs Are Steady. '
There was a big market at the stock
yards yesterday, particularly in the cattle
division. Receipts were liberal, totaling
104 loads, of which 12 loads of cattle and
sheep went through. .
The cattle market was inclined to' be
slow at the opening, but a healthy tone
soon developed.- Choice steers sold at $8
$8.25 and there were more steers sold
the latter price than on any day this
winter. An instance of the keen demand
for cattle was seen in the fact that one
commission man sold to a single buyer
15 to 20 loads before the buyer left the
pens in the morning. . At the same time
there was anotner buyer Waiting for an
opportunity to see these same cattle, but
he did not have a chance to look at them.
as they were disposed of. .
There was a steady market for tines
and the offerings were sold at current
prices. Sheep and Iambs were also steady.
Receipts were ado-l cattle, 109 calves,
163 hogs and 1162 sheep. The dav's
sales were as follows: .

SAN FRANCISCO BUTTER FLUCTUATES
Market Changes Freauent With Little
Apparent Cause. '
There was not much change In butter
market conditions at San Francisco during
the week. Prices fluctuated more so than
in the previous week with little apparent
cause. Ninety-two score butter from Sat
urday to Friday ranged as follows: Satur
day. 35 c; Monday, 33 c; Tuesday, 36c;
Wednesday, 34 '4c; Thursday. 33 c: Fri
day, 33 c, closing at e under the pre
vious Friday. Receipts have been gradu
ally Increasing and show a gain of 71,462
pounds over the previous week. Dealers
had plenty of supplies to meet the demand.
which has been confined mostly to local
consumption. There has been little ship
ping south Undergrade butter has been
scarce and sold at about He below extra
quality. Buying has been for immediate
needs as there was little confidence in
present prices and the" market closed un
settled with an easier tone. Storage hold
ings are only 46,977 pounds, which are
17,944 pounds lighter than the previous
week, and it is reported that most of this
is not available for local distribution.
The eastern markets were firm all week,
due to an exceptional consuming demand.
Receipts continue about the same and yet
the supplies on the market were very light,
sometimes so-light that buyers had diffi
culty in getting what they needed. This
was particularly true of fresh centralized,
of which there was but little on the mar
ket. Not only was the consuming demand
good in four markets, but also at coun
try points. Reports indicate that the
make is on the increase, and yet
the shipments, especially of central
ized, are much lighter than some time
ago. The total receipts are about the
same, but some of the creameries are either
shipping smaller lots or not shipping at
all. They claim that local demand is tak
ing much more than previously. Storage
butter is also finding a good demand and
is moving out at about the same rate as
during previous weeks. JThe shortage be
tween this year and last is increasing and
some are wondering whether there will be
enough to last until the supply of fresh
has increased sufficiently to take care of

POTATO CROP 30 PER CENT SHORT
Oregon Still Has 750 Carloads to Be
Shipped This Season. -Oregon
will probably ship 750 cars of
potatoes durirtg the remainder of the sea
son, according to a special potato report
issued by F, L, Kent, of this bureau of
markets and crop estimates of the United
States department of agriculture. 1
Replies to the schedule of inquiry in
Oregon indicated that about 75 per cent
of the 1921 crop would be moved from the
farms where produced; that about 60 per
cent of the crop had been moved by March
1, 1922; that perhaps 5 per cent of the
crop was in dealers' hands, and about 40
per cent still in the hands of- growers.
Comment accompanying the Oregon
schedules indicated some loss as a result
of the high water in November. The dam
age to fields yet undug has been the
most severe of recent years, due to much
freezing weather without a snow cover
ing. Reports from the central and eastern
parts of the state say that there has been
some loss from freezing in the pits. The
total Oregon crop has been estimated at
about 70 per cent of the production of
1920. Carload shipments to March 1, are
reported - at 82 per cent of the carload
shipment for the same period last year.
