penetrated these positions at some

The French continued their, raids,
penetrating the German position east

and Farm Reserve Is Cause.
By Associated Press.
Chicago, March 10.—Bullish estimates
regarding the exportable surplus of
wheat in the United States and as to
the reserve on farms have given
strength to values during the last
week. The net result was a market
unchanged to three cents higher. Corn
gained three to 4%c, oats 1% to 1%c,
and provisions 15 to 72 cents.
Sentiment favoring higher prices for
wheat developed quickly after a lead-
ing, expert here announced that only
39,000,000 bushels remained available
for export from the United States prior
to the- new crop season beginning on
July 1. A surmise on his part that
the government compilation of the 1916
yield had. been 30,000,000 bushels too
high, acted’as a further stimulus to

New York, March 10.—Moderate re-
vival of public interest and a renewal
of professional activity in specialties
accounted for the appreciable increase

stock exchange. The heavier volume
of trading was attended by a general
advance, some leaders including Unit-
ed Stades Steel, attaining highest lev-
els ff a month or more.
Speculative interests seemed to take
courage from the favorable .trend of
