Chicago Grain Chicago, Dec. 22.—While grain values opened slightly higher, with May wheat at a new high for the season, the undertone was not especially strong and with holiday dullness and preholiday profit taking and evening up, prices declined irregularly and the finish was about the bottom. Wheat was off 7-8c. corn Mil 1 -4c, oats 1-24t7-8c and rye le. Foreign news on wheat was bullish with deferred deliveries in Liverpool Id higher on light Argentine offers and a hert»r milling demand. There was fair commission house buying in evidence here at the start, with May wheat up to *1.2* 1-2. but the bulge brought out profit-taking and also some pressure and a drop to $1.24 14 follow gd. Around the inside figures some Aif the early sellers took the buying side and checked the break. Tlie hlavy undertone in corn had con .iderallc influence on wheat. * Kiport Demand Active. ‘ ontdi -rlng flic fact thuf foreign mar kets "ill l*e closed Saturday th*- export demand for wlr»at v*s active with sales ..f over 400,000 bushel* hnd Oreece whj in tho market for .'1.000,000 bushels. i ,iMrs Indicated that a good business was in sight after the holidays.

Cash grain basis showed little change. A small export business w«s dope tn corn at the seaboard. Re ceipts. fir,4 cars corn, and lf»3 cars oal*. Rye was under pressure from commis sion houses, and while there was some buying that looked like against export -ales, the undertone was rather easy- In sympathy with wheat. The t"o north western market* had LI9 cars. Pit Notes. Sentiment among wheat and corn trad er* was more bearish at the close, ea peclally in corn, which affected wheat. « orn men expect 1.fifth to 2.000 cars here next Tuesday after the two day holiday and look for .1 break 1 ash Interests .said ther* »» a* more export demand for corn it (dig hi I. under the market and predicted a good lust ness In some quarters It wag *aid that the big mo of tern will not lust long and lowering of puce* wl!’ bring more export business. it v us said that * good busl. n-vss wa* put through at the seaboard. After next week** run a let-up is ex peeled and with local longs generally out of their holding*, a big break is not expected Elevator interests who bought corn from the country the two previous days reported little offered today, owing to the break Another cash handler said that he could buy plenty of corn but there was no money In hedging it. t‘pinions a* to the future course of "heat pries were m.Jted tonight Those in close touch with the foreign situation were mors confident of a better market than ever ne^t week. They expect a general evening up for the holidays Satur day and with foreign markets closed, do not look for the markets to do much either way. Traders who have evened up are disposed to look on until next week. Foreign new* late today was regurded as stronger than at any time of late, indicating a better demand from that quarter for wheat and corn. Late cables telling of heavy rains In New South Wales, where harvesting of wheat Is at hand, were regarded a* most significant. Mains were ulso reported In the Argentine. Arrivals of 1.186 cars of wheat at th* six markets today attracted a great deal of bearish comment. This was due to the comparison with 661 a week ago and 429 cars last year. CHICAGO CLOSING PRICES.

Financial New York, Dec, 22.—Partly, per haps, because of the approaching holidays, but more particularly be cause of the recent rapid advance in prices on numerous market*, today was marked by something of a lapse into qniet and unimportant move ments. Prices were slightly higher on the Stock Exchange and, for a time, tu the commodity markets, where cot ton went to the best price since No vember 15. But the oho ngcs were not, as a rule, great and in foreign exchange the rates on Europe al most ceased to move. The day's gains in the stock mar ket were irregullarly distributed, af teeting botli industrial and railway shares. They ran to a point or more ir; a number of stocks, but the real point of interest was the virtual ab sence of net declines. The bond mar ket showed almost uninterrupted firmness, particularly In the Euro pean loans. Some of the Liberty bonds went to the' highest of the week. Horwl Market Interesting. Xaturally, the investment bond market becomes a matter of Increasing Interest as the January period approaches. A jear ago active buying and numerous considerable advances marked the closing week of the jtar, and they continued during the first* fortnight of January. After that, however, the Investor**' de mands relaxed in what was looked on as disappointing and disconcerting fashion, and the market did not show the tendencies which really lay beneath the surface until April and May. Changes In the foreign exchange rales today were negligible; even the German mark gave no recognition to the relcbs bank's weekly statement of paper cur. rency Inflation, which, a s reported for the second week of December, quite over shadowed all former achievements. Todaj'a rejehsbank statement reported German paper currency outstanding on December 1 o as amounting to 9**9,t*20.7tii>, 000 marks. If the third week of the month shows the same expansion of the currency as the second, and If the rute of Increase rises in the last week of December a-* it has usually done, then Germany should enter the now year with one and one-third trillions of paper money. For some such amazing exhibition the mind of the financial world will have been fully prepared bv recent develop, tuents In Get many's inflation career That Its people and government are now both caught In the wheels of this tremendous machinery. It Is Impossible to deny. Hut It is quite as difficult to believe that the Cuno administraMon Is going to per mit Germany's situation to develop Into the shape that bolshevik Russia n money has aeautued. The thing vvflk have to be stopped, even If the onlv w»v to do It Is for the German government to con. fos.i its own helplessness and to ask that the allies or the allied bankers take charge of the situation.

Although the January 1 settlements are \ery laige this year, it is altogether un likely that their effect will he felt in the call money market. It was true that money advanced to 6 per cent this after noon but because of late Inquiry rather than a *lring**nly in funds The govern ment will loke I50.000.U00 from New York institutions on Tuesday and this may have some effect on the iate.
