Our grain market Ignored the easier feeling In foreign markets and pre sented a firm undertone during the early trading, being favorably influ enced by advices Iron) Washington that the foreign credit bill had a very good chance of passing during this session of congress. Kero weather in the southwest, where the wheat fields *re without snow protection, had a . stimulating influence on July wheat in r Chicago. Sterling exchange had a ■harp advance and made a new high level on thla move. Total arrival* of all kinds of grain at Omaha were 82 cars, as compared with 266 cars last year. Total ship ments were 69 ears, as against 111 cars a year ago. There was a very good demand for the scanty offerings of grain on the Omaha floor and prices for wheat were unchanged to a cent, higher. Corn was Irregular, some grades sell ing *»o lower, while others changed hands at %e higher. Oats and rye sold at unchanged prleea and barley was nominally unchanged. WllKA’t.

Chicago, Dec. 12.—All deliveries of ] wheat and llin deferred futures of oats sold at a new high for tho season tu j day, the same bullish enthusiasm pre | vailing as of late. Wheat, however, j reversed Its action of the previous day 'and closed at the top with net gains of 7-8®l-3c. Corn was up l*4@l-2e, and rje 3 8&1 1-Sc, while December joats were 1 l-8o lower and distant deliveries unchanged to 3 4c higher, with December at 3-8c under the May against 1 l-2c over tho previous day. Wheat prices bached and tilled with in a moderate range the greater part of the day, with free buying of both Stay and July on all the dips by strong commission houses. There was a sharp dip at one time, dut to soiling of May by a house that was a good buyer recently, but the offerings quickly disappeared and the highest prices of the day were made at the last on general buying. July Wheat \tlni. it \ «• July wheat is attracting moia attention »tid led the advance with many commis sion houses now openly on tho bull Mdo of that delivery on account of zero weather without snow protection over the greater part of the bolt. Sterling **x • hange jumped to a new high on the pres ent upturn and as a result ttie* Liverpool Chicago difference has widen* d around 2 c per bush* 1 the past few days. Corn values held within relatively nar row limits and the general trade was not as largo as recently. Tho undertone, how ever, was strong and tho finish at tho top. Sales of 300,000 bushels were made to go to store without effecting sentiment to anv great extent., although the December eased as compared with fh* May. closing .it lc premium. Domestic demand was slow and the basis In the sample market unchanged with receipts 30*> ears. Country offerings, smaller, with cold wea.ther Incr* aslng feed ing operations. December Oats Tower: At no time did December oats get as high a., the finish of the previous day. There was persistent selling by longs and with a lack of aggressive buying prices et ihe inside were off 1 Vjc from Monday's finish, going to S'* under May at one time, with the finish Ho under, whereas recently it has been at a. premium. Com mission houses were fair buyers of the deferred deliveries. Shipping demand, slow. Receipts, 133 cars, with 100,000 bushels sold to go to st*»r**. Cash and seaboard Interests readily ab sorbed offerings of rye from northwest* rn i hedgers and the undertone was firm. Of- I faring* of round lots for shipment were scarce, with No. 2 on track selling at 1 ’a ■ <9»2c over December. The two northwest- ] »m markets had 107 cars. Pit Note*. While wb at values Rave been on On I upgrade for nearly a week, those in close I touch with conditions say that ilmre are 1 no signs a, yd «*f the advance culminat- 1 iug. The heavy profit-taking lies have I been absorbed by iruhTs who would not j liquidate on a br*-ak of 1 to 2c while many ( »<f those who took profits are bullish and waiting for a decline to reinstate their I hi.' *. An outstanding feature Is the marked change in sentiment noticeable in m*‘-—ag's from tho west and southwest. Farmers have apparently turned very bullish almost overnight on account of the pr** poet of higher prices and nre not dls to hell cither vh'*t or corn. CHICAGO CLOSING PRICES.

Mew York, Deo. 12.—An early re covery in the stock market carrying some of the railway shares 1 to 3 points above Monday’s closing, at tracted more iiiterst to that market today. The greater part of this ad vance was lost in tiiu later hours, however, and th_e outstanding move ment of the day"was again in sterling exchange. Instead of declining front the high rate of Monday—whether be cause of adjournment of the premiers’ conference, or because a natural tendency to reaction after ft rise of 6 cents in a week—sterling went to day 45 S cents above Monday's closing. It touched $4,63 1-4, a rate which it had not sold since March 22, 1919; only two days after the British gov ernment's bankers had announced re ceipt of Instructions “to suspend pur chases of sterling exchange for gov ernment account," until tho notice had been given, sterling had been sell ing a fraction over $4.75, the “pegged price” of the war. Whatever special or immediate in fluenccs may be back of the present re markable advance, there can be no doubt of the existence of one Influence which In a way is the antithesis of that which governed the foreign exchange market of 1919. What happened then, when th«' rapid downward readjustment of the rate* oq London had fairly got under way. was withdrawal by foreign bankers and mer chants of their London balances, and deposit in New York both of those and of other newly accruing credits. These. ! foreign clients of Lombard street did not ] care to face depreciation of their prin- . el pa! when they should need to uie the ] proceeds. What is unquestionably hap- j pentng now is the reverse process. Not , only has confidence in London values h-*;n restored but the mere fact of a con- ; tmuing rise in sterling gives particular inducement for restoring London balances. Knd Is Irregular. The stock market, after a day of more I or less conflicting movements, ended ir regular but generally firmer. The bond ; market showed strength pretty much throughout tho list. Further advances in wheat brought the market to $1.23 for this month’s delivery, the highest, j price reached this season and comparing with 98 cents a bushel on bep»*mber 14 | In response to the agricultural depart mint's "final estimate'' of 9.964.000 bales for the cotton crop, the prico of cotton \ rose lic a pound, which left the spot ; price about %c above the lew point of the > recent reaction but IViC under the high ] price of tho season, the 26.80c of N" - v -mber 9. The deportment’s estimate whs close to the cotton trades ideas; about 100,000 bales lest than tho fore cast of so good an authority ns the , Memphis Commercial.Appeal, but about 100.000 more than that of another ex- j ccllent prognosticator, the New Orleans : Times-Picayune. The main facts of the cotton situation are not made any clearer 1 by this government estimate. Chang* in contract grades of wheat for ’ delivery on futures at Chicago, which was ' adopted by tho Hoard of Trade Monday , does not go into effect until August 1. 1923. Good buying of wlie.it futures was on In Winnipeg and. like Chicago, closing prices were at the b ~t with net gains of ■ 1 Va<* Tho cash business w na mainly In ' filling in previous sales and for winter , storage. Omaha Heavy Sellers. Late private cables from Liverpool re port'd a better tone in the grian trade there es a result of the strength here Foreigners bave held off In buying and 1 are fighting the advance. An advance in ; foreign exchange of la to has placed many , mportere abroad In an uncomfortabJo position as those with grains bought ft 1 month or two ago, when exchange was low find 1t hard to compete with thoce j who bought when exchange was higher. World’s exporting countries have a sur plus of 972,000.000 bushels wheat this year, according to the International Institute of Agriculture at Home. Importing countries need 946,000.000 bushels, suggesting h sur Plus at the end of the season *>t 26.000,000 , bushels against 128,000,000 bushels la3t | year. Houses with Omaha connections have j been heavy sellers of corn futures hero the j past two days and have ulso sold con. siderable wheat. It was said that a line j of May wheat bought recently around $1 17 for a St Louis trader, went out to- \ day on the bulge and was well taken. ; Headiness with which offerings of all j grains have be n taken of late is creating j more confidence among holders and tends to check selling by the bears.
