Traders Return to. 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.

Market Higher
Spread of Aerial Warfare
in Europe Spurs
Stock Upturn
NEW YORK. 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
