MARKET, FINANCIAL AND INDUSTRIAL NEWS OF THE DAY Wallace Predicts Big Improvement ► in Farm Prices Secretary of Agriculture Tells Chicago Credit Men Equal ization of Prices Due in 1923. Chicago. Dec. IP.—A marked im provement in agricultural conditions nf Ihe country during 1923, not only) in better actual prices but as com- j pared with the prices of other commo- i ditles. was predicted by Secretary of Agriculture Henry O. Wallace In an address tonight before the Chicago Association of Credit Men. While agricultural prices remain lower thun the prices of other things, the farmers of the nation will get between $1,500.000 and $2,000,000 more tota 1 money for their crops this year than last, he said. "Perhaps the chief reason for the j low prices the farmers have been , receiving is that they have been over- 1 producing." lit1 said. "During the war years farm production Increased great- I ly. The average cereal crops for the live years 1910-1914 was 4.500,000,000 1 bushels Stimulated by war needs. Ihe production Increased to about 5.-: 500,000,000 bushels In 1P1H and 1919. j ind almost 6.000.000,000 bushels In : 1920. Several Forres Working. ■'Severn! forces me working to wards a more nearly normal relation j between things produced on the farm : and things produced In the cities and industrial centers. More farmers arc I leaving the farms than in times past. ! Wages in the city, even for the com- J monest labor, are higher relatively than wages on the farm.” Secretary Wallace said the large ' advance In cotton prices has put the j south in better shape than for many years. The advance in prices of coarse grains and the continuing profitable prices of livestock has led to marked improvement !n conditions in the great corn belt surplus produc ing country, he said. "There has been less Improvement In the wheat grow ing regions of the northwest and the southwest." he said. "Prices of wheut are much belter, but in those sections weather conditions were unfavorable and many farmers got poor crops. High freight rates take too much out it the price Of wheat. Prospects of better foreign demand give hope to the wheat farmer. Dairy Keetions Escape. "In dairy sections of the west the farmers are coming through very well. Prom the corn belt eastward farmers have not suffered so severely as In ihe wejit. Freight rates have not hit them so hard. Farming there ts more diversified and a greater variety of cash crops Is produced. •'Tlie experience of the past three years has brought home to the na tion its dependence upon agriculture.) We realize as never before that na tional prosperity is dependent upon agricultural prosperity. About one thlrd of our entire population depends upon farming life for a liylng. W hen the buying power of that one-third is restricted for any reason, all busi ness and all Industry suffer." CHICAGO CLOSING PRICES. By UpillWa Grain to- DB 2*27. Du. 14.

Total shipments were 87 cars, against 106 cars last year. Cash grain on the Omaha exchange was in fair demand, with wheat sell in* at about unchanged prices. Coim was generally unchanged to lower. Oats were ’*(S' 4c• lower. Rye was quoted 1c lower and barley nominally unchanged. Grain prices generally presented a downward slant today and the buying support waa not sufficient to cause an advance from the setback as has been the ca6e for several days past, and prices dragged during the entire ses sion.

DSc. 19.—An easier under tone prevailed in the grain markets the greater part of the day. Financial new* was somewhat less bullish and measages from Washington Indicated that farm legislation would not get the right of way over other bills. This, with the government report issued aft er th* close Monday, was responsible for generul selling of wheat and oth er grains, but December wheat and corn acted tight and the nearby de livery of wheat rallied sharply after an early break to a new high on the crop and closed 1-Hc higher. Deferred deliveries were unchanged to 3-8c low er, the latter on July.

There was no tracing in December rye, And the Open Interest is regarded as well eiaahed up. Strength in wheat induced some buying of May by local traders.

Dec. 19.—In the some what irregular movement of today’s market, the comparative steadinestTof stocks and the further downward re action of foreign exchange attracted the most notice. Neither attitude was unexpected. The so-called bad news which had depressed the stock market the day be foie consisted mostly of announcements which had been anticipated; some of them, like the official denial of an “extra divi dend on steel,’’ being put out to dis pose of rumors which nobody had seri ously believed. The failure of a Kan sas City stock exchange house prob ably had less actual influence, even on Monday, than Wall street for the moment imagined. Today that occur rence. which was one of the natural sequels to the early autumn craze over oil speculation, was almost for gotten on the market. That sterling and the continental ex changes should have gono lower today vas equally natural. When the real causes behind a prolonged and spectacular ad vance—including both purrhses for neces sary remittances and "covering" by un lucky “bear speculators"—have spent their force, the market always goes on rising for a time under the momentum of excited speculation for the rise. At sucty a stage the movement must either bo examined by unexpectedly favorable news, or else some reaction is inevitable. The news was supplied to the market at the end of last hveelt, but unfortunately It was not true. • Raise In Halted. Sterling at $4.6Ui today had lost nearly 8c from its high figure of last Wednes day. but It had risen nearly 18c In the preceding fortnight. There will bo lees talk of an immedlatee rush of the rate to parity, and perhaps the difficulties sur rounding the last stages of such a move ment will be better appreciated. The I’nited States paper currency did not reach par again, after the civil war In flation, until exactly two weeks before the date which the treasury had fixed for resumption of specie payments. The persistent rise of farHl products continued today to ho the outstanding movement. Spot cotton went to 26.20c a pound, which is still below the early high prices of November, but compares with 24.55c as recently iih December 15. Spec ulative markets always take seriously the kind of talk which has lately been heard of cotton values responding to higher ster ling or to rumor of a loan to Germany, but on this occasion, although sterling has halted and the "loan stories" have turned out premature, the cotton market has moved precisely as It did before. Tomorrow's "< cusus ginning estimates" may conceivably throw light on the ques tion of the actual harvest, but 1t will proh abyl not Interest, the market much unless the output of ginneries, as reported for the first two weeks of December, were to fall so far below the 458.000 bales turned out In the pfeoedlng fortnight as to suggest that the 9.318.000 bales ginned up to this month will not reach the 10.000,000 mark In the final returns a month from now.
