Market After Peace Talk Fade in Europe I CHICAGO, March JO-(ffV Manj traders who sold their wheat holding during the re cent period of widespread peace ' talk In Europe rushed back Into ' the market today at prices soared more than 3 cents to the highest lerel in almost a month. Prices at other world markets also were . hi-her. with gains of about two cents at Winnipeg and Buenos Aires. News of British air raids at Eylt and efforts to form a more Jkgresslre war goTernment in France, coupled with statements of British leaders the past two days, squelched peace talk that has dominated wheat trade for almost a week. i Prices rose 1H cents at the opening, held steady for about three hours, except for several dips of about Vi cent, and then resumed the climb in the final hour. Closing figures were 3 Vi higher than yesterday. May fl.05-. July fl.04-1.03- Pessimistic domestic crop re ports also had an influence in the prices upturn although this news was little different I from the unfavorable data available for some time. However, around . freexlng temperatures in ! some sections of the southwest and lower readings in the northwest attracted attention, particularly in the rye pit. A large acreage to winter rye is located In the northwest. There were reports of light snows In some sections oi the. southwest and fairly heavy precipitation through much of the so:t wheat zone. . Some, buying of wheat at times was' credited to mills. European buyers were in the market for Ar gentine wheat and export sales of Canadian were estimated at 200. 000 bushels. Copenhagen import ers were inquiring for US corn but no business could be confirmed. Finn Minister Studies Map Thm OSEGOH STATESMAN. SaUzo. Orwgoo. Tliuxder Mbrntog.

March tO-tflV spnrrea by tne spread of Europe s aerial warfare, aviation stocks gained strongly today, leading the whole market higher. The aircraft advance averaged around a point. Steels did equally well. Rails felt the lift ing urge and various industrials benefited. . The Associated Press average of CO selected stocks gained .2 of a point at 49.7. Transactions totaled 644,130 shares compared with 654.119 yesterday. President Roosevelt's assertion that foreign military orders had helped the American aviation in dustry triple its output centered traders' attention upon aircrafts. Adding to Wall street's interest was the British double bombing of the German base at Sylt. The British attack, modeled upon that of the Russian mass aerial attacks In Finland, was re ceived by some observers as In dicating probability of increased use of air power by the allies. At the same time, the sbakeup in the French government was in terpreted by many as forecasting a, push against the west wall. Steels improved not only on war prospects but on the report by the "Iron Age" widening steel buying. The magazine predicted the coming of spring would speed heavy construction work, long hampered by cold weather. Leaders In the advance Includ ed Boeing, Douglas, United Air craft, Glenn Martin, Curtiss Wrlght, North American Aviation, Bendix, Lockheed, Pan American Airways, US Steel, Bethlehem, Toungstown, Harvester, New York Central, Great Northern preferred.
