15. (AP) nuuseven ana nls agricultural advisers, using as their oasis me agreement reached by farm organization leaders, tonight put the finishing touches on a new farm relief plan which the chief executive intends to forward to con gress in a special message tomor row. Leasing of farm lands to remove them from surplus production will he the center of the plan as redrafted by the administration. Through reduction in acreage, Mr. Roosevelt hopes to lift farm prices irom ineir present low levels.

Planting Estimate The bureau of agricultural economics' estimated today in its report of intentions to plant that farmers intend to.retire voluntarily 9,000,000 acres, or three per cent of their cultivated area, from the production of principal crops this year. Reductions in acreages devoted to corn, wheat, and other grains were forecast with an increase in tobacco. No estimate of cotton plantings was made as congress prohibited this activity by the bureau. larm organization leaders, whose plan consisted of a proposed enabling act empowering Secretary Wallace to select any or all of many-relief methods, proposed to include authority to apply the principles of the domestic allotment plan to wheat, corn, cotton, tobacco and other crops with provision for adjustment charges on processing to finairce the program in part. Seek World Pact The administration is planning to buttress the domestic program by seeking a world-wide agreement for curtailment of wheat production.

Some effort is being put forward to haye wheat made the subject -of negotiations at the world economic conference at London next summer. At'the department of agriculture this was regarded as a significant movement which will, however, re quire action hy this country to "get its own wheat house in order." L'n-lcss the new farm plan provides some definite method of scaling wheat acreage downward in the United States, this country will re main without machinery providing any sort of control over wheat production. Acreage Reductiona The planting intentions report forecast acreage reductions this year applying to corn, wheat, oats, barley, flaxseed, rice, potatoes, sweet potatoes and yams, dry beans, peanuts and cow peas. It predicted increases in acreages of grain sorghums, tobacco, soy beans, tame hay and spring wheat other than durum. Farmers in the eastern and central corn belt are planning a shift of about 2.000,000 acres from crops to pastures, partly because of thei (Continued On Fage 4, Col.

(AP) One of the most brilliant recoveries in security prices in the history of the New York Stock Exchange today attested the restoration of financial confidence which has swept the country with the reopening of thousands of sound banks. Shares surged up $2 to $16 in scores of favorite issues, and as measured by price averages, the gam over tha? final level of March 3.

when the market closed for its first important shutdown in 19 years, was more than 16 per cent, a single day's upsurge for which records of many years show no parallel. Bonds Advance The advance in bonds was just as striking. Many issues were swept up $10 to more than $50 per bond of $1,000 par value, and even several of the United States government issues, which normally move so narrowly that changes are reckoned in 32nds of a point, shot up as much as $10 to $30 per $1,000 bond. The Standard Statistics price average of 60 domestic corporate issues, tabulated since 1926, registered the sharpest advance in its history. The general level of -share regained all of the sharp losses of February, getting back to the beat level since January 31, and bonds.

as measured by the average of 60 issues, recovered the severe losss of the five days before the national banking holiday was declared, when these issues were severely depressed by banking pressure to convert resources into cash. Copper, Silver Up The big commodity markets such as the Chicago grain pit and the New York and New Orleans Cotto-j Exchanges were not slated to open until tomorrow, but staples in other markets joined the swift Ascent of securities. Silver futures jumped about a cent an ounce. While there was little trading in copper, futures quotations were boosted 8-10 of a cent a pound. Raw hide futures gained about a cent a pound and smaller advances were registered, in raw silk, sugar, coffee, cocoa and crude rubber.

Speculative interest in commodi ties was as keen as in securities and many of the more smartly ad vancing shares were those calculated to benefit from better prices for raw stanles for instance, sug ars, coppers, farm implements and shares of mail order companies. Seek Higher Pncea While the Dronounced strength of bonds scarcely bespoke incipient inflation, for the effect of inflation unon the fixed income securities is academically regarded as adverse, brokers renorted that the specula tive public was undeniably imbued with the idea of rising staple prices.
