    _MARKET, FINANCIAL AND INDUSTRIAL NEWS OF THE DAY
(Quarter Million
of Federal Loans
Paid by Farmers
Over Half of #11.800,000
Brought to Nebraska by War
Finanre Corporation Paid
Off by Borrowers.
Nebraska farmers paid off $J60,000
In War Finance corporation loans In
the first five days of December. Of
a total of $11,800,080 brought Into the
state by the War Finance corporation,
all etcept $$.800,000 has boon re
turned.
Some complaint Is heard in the
country that this Immense amount of
credit has thus disappeared. This Is
the season of the year when the coun
try demand for money Is especially
keen, and there is more cattle feeding
in soma sections than ever before.
Farmers are reported in be looking
forward with intense Interest to the
progress of rural credit legislation in
ccngress.
Conditions Are Better.
‘‘The War Finance corporation was
astablished as an emergency agency,”
said F. W. Thomas, director of the
local agency, yesterday. "The farm
ers are in much better condition now
than a year ago, when this new
money was brought Into the state
to save them from lwavy Ipse. If a
similar condition should threaten
again, the corporation will be as ac
tive as ever in providing credit.”
Although the local agency stands
ready to make new advances, there
are hardly any applications forwarded
from the countrv banks. Last year,
800 Nebraska banks had paper redis
counted with the War Finance cor
poration, now omy 228 are making
use of the privil'aes. Some farmers
claim inetancea in which products are
beina forced en the market for lack
•f credit to hold them. Yet, only one
new loan has been put through the
War Finance corporation this week.
There have been a good many re
newals, however.
Tirn Tear*’ Credit.
The loan* were made for a aix
months’ period, with the privilege of
renewal for a total »of three years.
However, when the farm products,
»uch aa coni, hog* or cattle, on which
loam ware based, are sold, the notes
are sdHeoted. In the case of yearling
Steers, three yeara la necessary to ma
ture them for market.
‘'It a farmer holds hia products
fbr three years the War Finance cor
poration will carry him,'' John M.
Flanntgan, executive secretary, ex
plains. "However, as an emergency
Institution, we are not allowed to pro
vide capital Investments Not a
pound of corn, nor a hog, nor a
steer or cow need be sent to market
ahead of Its ttme. for the War Fi
nance corporation Is not pressing for
payment. But. when the product*
are sent to market, and the money
received, the loan must he paid off.
for the security is gone. If a farmer
wishe* to put through a new loan on
similar security, we are open for
business. We are organized for the
orderly marketing of farm products.”
Cattle Feeding Heavy.
There are said to be 30,000- head of
eattle on feed around Wausa. Neb.
The feeders have used up aJl tbetr
own corn and are forced to buy more,
and there is said to be a heavy local
demand for credit in that locality.
The high price of corn, which bene
fits one clase of farmers, thus is
embarrassing another set. Corn which
sold a year ago at from 17 to 22 cents
at country points la now sought at
from 90 to 79 cents for feeding pur
poses. without being shipped to ter
minal market. If these feeders are
not able to obtain loans, some of the
cattle will lia\a to bo sent to mar
ket before they are finished.
The regulations of ^he War Finance
corporation regarding security are
strict, and those farmers whose as
sets ore deeply involved may not ob
tain further credit. When cattle are
unmortgaged, loans may be obtained
for buying corn, but otherwise there
ts reported to be difficulty.

Omaha. Dec. 15, 1922.
Today's early session in grain fol
lowed pretty close the same trend as
during the past several days. On the
setbacks a good class of commission
house buying absorbed the offerings
And put values on the upgrade again.
The bill Introduced In congress to ap
propriate a large sum of money to
buy foodstuffs in this country to feed
to poor of Germany and Austria had
a bullish effect.
Total receipts at Omaha wero 127
cars, against 154 cars last year. Ship
ments aggregated 140 cars of all kinds
of grain as compared with 154 cars
a yea r ago.
A very good demand was in evidence
in all grains on the Omaha exchange,
wheat selling generally a cent higher
than yesterday. Corn was strong at

He to 1 up, generally lc up. Rye was
quoted He higher and barley un

Chicago. Dec. 10.—Grain markets
made a poor response to the radically
bullish new s, evening up for the gov
ernment report due after the close
and heavy profit taking resulting in a
lower range, although .May and July
oats sold at a new high for the sea
son. due to a strong rally around
noon. The iharkets all dropped
sharply toward the last and finished
with wheat off li4®lsgc. corn 'a®
1*>. oats >4c and rye H#7»c.
Introduction of a bull into congress
to appropriate $70,000,000 for German
relief, the favorable report on the
farm credit bill, talk of a huge inter*
national loan (o Germany, wet weath
er in Argentina and unfavorable
weather In Kansas all had consider
able lnfluenco on sentiment at times.
There was a marked letup in the out
side buying however, and the market
acted strained with some of the local
traders inclined to take a bearish
position on the July.
Males In Omahn.
Bulges met with increased pressure and
toward the last reports that 2oo,U00 bush
els cash wheat had been sold from Oma
ha to come here led to general selling,
and a break to the lowest figures of the
day. Under $1.23 for May. an excellent
class of buying developed which checked
the decline. Export demand, slow and
mainly for Manltobas. Liverpool closed
unchanged to Vjd higher on tho unfavor
able Argentine weather.
Long December coin came out freely
throughout the day and while the deferred
deliveries showed independent strength at
times, due to buying by local bulls, tho
market eased off rather sharply toward
tho lust. Despite the mateiial Advance of
late, country offerings of cash grain were
not large, purchases on overnight bids
being estimated at only 80.000 bushels.
Further quantities were booked during
Tko day on the advance. Premiums in
the .sample market were *ic higher at
the last, with receipts of 390 cars. A
fair export bu^ness was put through at
the seaboard with a cargo to Scandinavia.
A growing bull sentiment was noted
‘n some quurters regarding the oats mar
ket. Tho decrease of 7 45.00u bushels in
stocks ut Minneapolis attracted considera
ble attention, and that market has th#
largest supply of any market. July bold
at a new high for the sea«on. and the
December advanced to witbfn %<•. of the
best figures of the season, but all deliv
eries reacted toward the last with other
grains Receipts. 136 cars.
Trade in rye was only fair, with tho
action of wheat the dominating influence.
Talk of a German loan failed to indue#
much ntw buying Northwestern move
ment ha* fallen off materially, due to the
close of navigation, and the two markets
received only 34 cars.
rit Notes.
A decided surprise was given t ho
grain trade by the government crop re
port in its finals for the year, and was
taken by th# trade in general a# bear
ish. creating tho impression that prices
Saturday are to sell lower Tho report in
creased the vinter wheat yield 46.000,
000 bushels over the prtfc'ous returns and
spring v heat .only 2 Of l.ffo bushels, mak
ing a gain of 47.000.0oo bushels more than
the trade bad figured on and 41,000,*>00
bushels in excess of last, year’s revised
figure.*, which wore raised practically 16,
000,000 bushels ovm the returns of last
year. Evidently tne increase of 4.000,- i
OuO acres winter wheat over previous
figures was area previously reported as ,
abandoned, but included in the late re- ;
turns.
There was- not enough change, a cut
of 6,000,000 bushels in the corn crop from
the November firgurea, to bo a big fac
tor. The report was 91,000,000 to more
than 100.000,000 bushels above the private
estimate*, while in oats a reduction of
16.600.000 bushels was regard'd ss fa
vorable to the holders, while rj e figures
were raised 16,000,000 bushels, making »
record crop. Taking the report in all
grain* it is 32.000,000 bushels more than
previously estimated, and 65,000,000 bush
els in excess of last year s revised figures.
Secretary of Commerce Hoover, hi a
speech before the National Co-operative
association's convention, said farmers were
entitled to relief from present ftnanloal
conditions and were to get It in a sub
stantial way ^ ery soon.
Heavy selling for profit3 with a liberal
amount of shoit selling has been in on all
grains for several da>« and It is no more
than natural that the markets should
show tho effects. It would not surprise
some of the most ardent advocates of
higher prices to see a recession of 1 to
2 cents from tonight's close, which will
develop buying orders and possibly a
rally. The trade evened up for the gov
ernment report at tho last.

New' York, Deo. 15.—Probably most
people, after reading Bonar Daw's
dismal description of Great Britain s
economic condition, were moved with
curiosity as to what the sterling ex
change market would do in response
to it. Explanation by the premier
that unless trade revives pretty
soon. England will ‘ reach a position
which will be worse, almost, than
that of any allied country,” did not
exactly accord with the Inferences
drawn from the recent remarkable
movement of exchange in favor of
that couptry.
But the market showed more con
fidence irt the verdict of sterling rates
than in the judgment of Bonar Law,
whose speech, indeed, was taken by
Wall street as a curiously superficial
survey of the whole situation, wheth
er In England or on the continent.
The inference generally drawn was
that, like the unlucky attempt of the
French ministry to gain an ulterior
purpose by painting the budget out
look in particularly dark colors, the
speech to parliament was framed
with a view to exerting pressure for
a compromise on German repara
tions.
Sterling Advances.
The foreign exchange market evidently
took that viewpoint Sterling advanced
at Linden before the New York opening
and ended the day in Wall street prac
tically unchanged Exchange on Paris
rose to the highest rate since the middle
of October, the day's best figure, 7.48c to
the franc, comparing with the recent low
level of 6.17c on November 8. Tho Italian
lira went beyond th« season's previous
highest. Even the German mark strug
gled up a fraction
Neither the stock market nor the bond
market was visibly influenced by any of
these occurrence# Movement of prices
was irregular in both. The stock market
ended with net advance* and net declines
about evenly balanced. Liberty bonds and
most of the foreign loans selling down a
small fraction. Wall street, Hfter its usual
habit, assigned the stock market's uncer
tain closing to the rise of tho call money
rate to 6 per cent.
Financial Notes.
Directors of the Pa/t-American Petro
leum company, following their meeting
today, furnished Wall afreet with another
pleasant surprise; a stof-k dividend of no
per cent was declared op both classes of
common stock nuyable in class Ft shares.
Thl‘> is in addition to the 26 per cent
stock dividend declared lato in October,
when the regular dividend was also in
creased from $6 to 18 a share annually.
The stock dividend today and that de
clared in October gives the stockholders
R0 per rent more stock than was held on
October 1.
The advance in the price of copper
•luring the week, accompanied by pre
dictions in the trade that further advance#
will bo witnessed during the Urst quarter
of the \ear, stimulated speculative Inter
est In the copper shares. with the result
that the more prominent Issues recorded
gains ranging from .substantial fractions
to a point or more From the point of
activity Anaconda vn tho feature, but
American Smelting and Refining closed
with the largest gain. Sales of metal
for snot delivery were made at 14l4<\ a
new high record for the year.
