Oregon. t 'Strongest Sank in Castern Oregon ltankiiig Position 1m Strong For New York ()s-nitig NEW YORK, Feb. 15 (A. P.) Aside from a general strengthening of the banking position, as indicated by returns to the federal reserve board, the week in the stock market opened with no visible change. The adverse transportation situation was attested by a further decrease of railway tonnage, there being more Idle freight oars on the principal roads, ac cording to authoritative statements, than at any period in the last decade. Improvement In grain prices created a more cheerful sentiment at 'western and southwestern agricultural centers but this was offset by wage reductions, suspended dividends and evidence ot diminishing Investment demand. In the final hour shorts rushed to cover as busing orders appeared in the un t'stial favorites. Mexican Petroleum, Baldwin Locomitlve, Studebakcr and Atlantic Golf at net gains of two to four points contributed mainly to the strong close. U. S. steel also was con spicuous. Sales 500,000 shares. In the money market all. call loans held at seven per cent on the exchange, but easedfully one per cent in private offerings. British and other leading foreign remittances were better, ex cept Scandinavian rates. Liberty bonds were Irregular, the Sis displaying further , heaviness. Most other domestic and foreign Issues were without definite trend on a mod erate turnover. Sales, par value, 650,000. . . . Hroadening of Corn lK-mana liulls All Chicago (;ruins CHICAGO, Feb. 15. Broadening of demand for corn had a bullish effect today on grain. Wheat closed strong, t to &Vi net higher, with March J.70 li to 1.70 and May 1.5JJ. tto 1.5'J Corn gained 2 3-8 to 3 and oats I'i to 1 5-8Srl. In provisions there r.as an advance of 15 35c, AVheat quickly responded to the stimulus from the corn pit, notwith standing that the initial tendency In wheat had been to sag. Announce ment that there had ibecn 750,000 bushels of corn taken for export gave emphasis to opinions that with hogs at present prices current quotations on corn were too low and that the huge corn crop would be readily absorbed. Then came fresh reports from the winter wheat belt indicating prospec tive crop damage from green bugs as far north as central Illinois. March at the top for the day showed ft l-2o advance as compared with the lowest recent level. Country offerings of corn were mall. It was said a majority of rural roads were In bad condition, and that hauling had been restricted. The strength of oats was chiefly, borrowed from corn. Higher quotations on hogs helped to lift provisions.
