MONDAY, MARCH 10, 1947 iTHE JOURNALIST ANDARD, FREEPORT, ILL. PHONE votm WAHT ADI 3100 PAGE THIRTEEN Market Reports Stocks Caution Is Watchword In Stock Market BV TICTOR EUBANK New York, March was the watchword in today's stock market with narrow irregularity ruling from the start. Dealings turned quiet after a moderately active opening. While modest plus marks persisted near the fourth hour, declines were plentiful. Word that President Truman would address a Joint session of cori- gress Wednesday on the near east situation tended to accentuate speculative nnd investment conservatism.

Some bidding by professionals for a technical revival aided individual issues. Skeptics regarding business, taxes, foreign affairs and gyrating commodities still held to the selling side. Ahead at Intervals were U. S. Steel, Bethlehem, J.

I. Case, General Motors, Chrysler and Caterpillar tractor. Backward were Goodrich, Goodyear, Sears Roebuck, International Harvester, Standard Oil of New York, and Pennsylvania Railroad. Bonds were spotty. At Chicago wheat futures rose sharply.

Dealings reverted to sluggishness after a moderately active opening and the direction was notably hazy near the close. Transfers dwindled to around 800,000 shares.

All other deliveries of wheat and oats, and all deliveries of corn, except March, hit new seasonal peaks. Gains at one time extended to 10 cents, the'daily limit, wheat and more than 8 cents in corn and 6 cents in oats. Successive buying waves swept into the pits, forcing prices to new peaks throughout the session. In cash markets, wheat was quoted as much as 7 cents higher at Minneapolis. Chief support for the advance was the same as in all recent sessions, the need for mills to obtain wheat coupled with the small available commercial supply.

Large exports of wheat and corn were the influ- ental factor in the buying. Receipts were: Wheat, 74 cars, corn 658, oats 58 and soy beans 35. In the closing minutes all wheat deliveries reached the 10 cent daily limit, March corn was up its 8 cents dally limit and May and July oats their 6 cent daily limit. Final prices were slightly below the day's best levels. Wheat closed cents to 10 cents higher, March 2.73T», corn was 6 to 8 cents higher, March 1.70% to 1.71; and oats to 6 cents higher, March 1.02% to 1.03%.

Background On Moscow Foreign Ministers Meet AT MARLOW Washington, March Is an ABC explanation of the foreign ministers meeting which opens In Moscow today, Secretary of State Marshall Is meeting there with the foreign ministers of Britain (Bevln), France (BldaulU, and Russia (Molotov). They're meeting for two reasons: 1 To try to work out a peace" treaty for Austria. 2, To lay the groundwork for a peace treaty, some day, with Germany. The four men may finish most of the work on Austria nt Moscow and then their deputies complete the dangling details later. The German problem is far more difficult.

It may be a year, two years, or more before any treaty for Germany is ready, More Meetings Probable So this may mean several more meetings of the foreign ministers and, between, a lot of work and meetings by their deputies. (The foreign ministers the same big four. nations took 18 months to finish treaties for Romania, Bulgaria, Italy, Finland and Hungary). Because it's simpler, take the Austrian problem first. The Allies already have agreed on three big points: 1.

Austria shall be free and independent again. Germany gobbled it up in 1938. 2 It won't have to make any its part in World War II. 3. Russia, as pay for the huge damage done Russia by Germany, will get much German property In Austria.

But how much German property? That will be the biggest Austrian problem at Moscow. German Problem Han Four Main Parts Now take the German problem which falls Into four main parts as the foreign ministers begin their -talks: Getting Germany ready for a peace treaty, the Ruhr, disarmament and reparations. Take them In order. No. Germany ready for a peace treaty.

Germany now doesn't have, any government which could sign a peace treaty, even if the big four nations had one ready. Before they can offer such a treaty, they must let the Germans create a government. But what kind? A strong, central government over a united Germany? The French are afraid that might mean a powerful Germany and another war. Or a weak, central government over a union of fairly independent German states? But would such a weak government mean, in the long run, an un- prosperous Germany and, therefore, an unprosperous Europe? Then there's that problem of getting Germany back on its economic feet so that It is self-sustaining. It isn't now.

Divided Into Three Economic Units It is divided up into four one each occupied by the United States, Britain, France, and three economic units. The United States and Britain merged their zones economically, but this still left all kinds of restrictions on trade and commerce between the Anglo-American and the French and Russian zones. How then can the big four powers work out a plan to treat Germany as a single economic unit so it can become self-sustaining as a nation? The foreign ministers will wrestle with that one, too. No, Ruhr. The Ruhr, in western Germany, is the industrial heart of that country, it produces the best coal In Europe for making iron and steel.

Other countries, including France, need some of that coal for their industries. The French fear that, If the Germans control the Ruhr, they can In time cripple other countries Industrially and prepare for war again. So the Ruhr question for the foreign ministers will be; Should the Ruhr be placed under some kind of international control? No. This question is: How should Germany be kept from re-arming for another war? There'll be a lot of talk on that for a long time. No.

Here the big four must decide just what price Germany must pay for the war. This, too, will mean a lot of talk and more delay. from the home by fire of unknown origin, but neighbors and friends rallied to carry theft household fur- ilshlngs from the two-story frame noxise while firemen from Peca- tonlca and Durnnd rushed to the blaze. Ray Anderson, operator of the Pecatonlon Royal Blue store, established a fund shortly after the fire destroyed the house and reported that It was growing rapidly.
