MARKET, FINANCIAL AND INDUSTRIAL NEWS OF THE DAYJ Omaha Grain Omaha, Jan. 4, 1921. Wheat turned weak today and a new level for this turn was witnessed in the May option. July and Septem ber only partly sympathized with this weakness. Houses with eastern connections were again persistent Seilers and there was an absence of support. < oarse grains, while lower, displayed a somewhat better undertone, light ness of country offerings being a feature. # On the break in wheat there was heavy covering of shorts, and this, with reports of some export business having been done, checked the decline. Receipts at Omaha totaled 191 cars, against 192 cars last year. Total ship ments were 318 cars, as compared with 107 cars a year ago. There was a fairly good demand for < ash wheat on the Omaha market, with prices lc to 2c lower, the market being generally lc lower. Corn sold unchanged to 3c lower. Oats were He to \c lower. Rye was quoted lc. lower, and barley unchanged, quality considered. WH H AT No. 3 dark hard: 1 ur, $1 16 (smutty); 1 . ar, $1.14. No 1 hard winter): 1 rir, fl.OIH; 1 < 41', $1.12 <7r. per cent dark).

Winnipeg was off l*gc. Corn was unsettled, being strong early and v. eak later and lost ?a@ll*c. Oats were lc lower and rye off UjC. At no time were wheat prices as high as the close of the previous day. j louses with foreign connections were | free sellers of May early, and, with a weakened technical position as the result of short covering the previous day, a break was easily attained. May dropped to $1.17** or 9e under the re cent high with stop loss orders caught | nt $1.18, but offerings around that j figure were quickly absorbed on rest- | ing orders, and a big trade was in evi- j deuce every time the price dropped to i around that price. The foreign political crisis was pre sumably the basis for the foreign selling of wheat. Export demand wus less active with a few scattered lots taken si the gulf. Liverpool rabies claimed Increased pleasure of new crop Argentine offerings. I>eiivaries on January contracts here were 25,000 bushels. ( inn Forced to Break. There was an excellent class of buying in corn early, ami the market ignored the weakness in wheat for some time, but later broke sharply when cash prices dropped If 1 as compared with the May. There was rather general unload ing by local longs on the way down. All deliveries sold down to around the low figures on the present down turn, with May and July touching 70 >j,o, closing on a, small rallv Country offerings were small and western markets reported a good shipp.ag demand, while outside mar kets outbid Chicago l@2c down state. Receipts we*e 255 cars, and were more than Rdcquute for the demand. Domestic shipping demand for cash oats is fairly active, but futures were lit tle affected except for a brief period early when removal of h^dges^made a small advance over the previous day's finish. In the main the market reflected the action of corn. Receipts, 61 cars, with shipping sales 325,MOO bushels, in cluding 40,000 bushels to exporters. Reports of a liberal export business In rye were in circulation with Minneapolis claiming OOu.ouO bushels sold there Wednesday, but with wheat weak, a de cline in prices was easily attained. The seaboard reported 200,000 bushels sold abroad and local handlers hold 25,000 bushels to exporters. PI* No»m. drain traders have become very bear ish, especially on wheat, and expect low er price*. Selling was largely by the same big houses who have lead for a week. I’riees have been on t lie dow n grade for about a week and there is a lack of « onfldeni e in rallies holding Argentine competition is expected to he an important feature in the wheat situa tion from now on and those who are bear ish are using it as a depressing factor. Kstimated export* for the week are 1.480. 000 bushels, compared wlh 728,000 bushels the previous wek and 1,059,000 bushel* last year. A little selling of grain* was on late in the day owing to the reported breaking up of the reparations conference. The j break in stocks and cotton creating un- j easiness among grain men, but values were not affected to any extent. Should political news from the other aide be j bearish and cables come lower an easing j in values here Is looked for Friday. Heavy Corn SaJe*. Heavy selling of corn futures late in the j day was based on the break of l to llic in cash corn premiums relatively to the May with 1 to l%c under May against a premium of late. Industries were the best buyers of car lots. Traders who sold out their holdings of grain on the recent advance are awaiting more favorable conditions for replacement. Despite the decline of 9c in May from the recent tap, one °f the largest oper ators said at the close that there was nothing new in the situation on which to aid vise purchases. A report from Minneapolis said indi cations pointed to a reduction in interior elevator stocks of wheat the past month as shipni>nts have been largely from them. Minneapolis wheat stocks have Increased 1,250,000 bushels for five days and oats increased 73,000 bushels, rye 10,000 bushels. Lard stock* at western packing points of 18..504.000 lbs. increased' 5,735,000 lbs. last month against 1,407,000* lbs. last year when there were 10,525,000 lb*.

Rates on that market, which had moved uncertainly all day, de clined rather rapidly in the later hours. Francs ended nearly l-4c be low AA'ednesday, after touching the lowest price since December 6. Ster ling sold off 3-4c and the German mark went to the lowest since the week of November in which it reached 1 1-8 one hundredths of a cent. To what extent this manifest weakness reflected the sober view of statesmen over the situation left by the Paris disagreement over repara tions, it would perhaps be premature to say; but the days’ exchange rates obviously reflected the feeling of the markets. As a matter of fact, however, the final deadlock could have created no great sur prise after the couree of events at the conference the day before nr. indee.d, after the British delegation had announced its purpose to stand on its own proposals. The French distrust the’ good faith of Ger many; the English are willing to trust It. Therefore, the question of results depends, first on what action. If any. France will see fit to take, next on what influence toward compromise, if any. can be *x erle.d by the United States government. , Net Changes Irregular. * The stork market declined on the after noon's formal announcement regarding the conference, but only after a considerable early advance; so that the day's net changes were irregular and by no means wholly net declines. In amount of busi ness done, today was the largest day since November 14. Business in bonds was not proportionately large; but the bond mar ket was distinctly strong. The new United States 4% per cents reached par again, and even the French republic bonds held firm. The item in today's weekly foreign, bank statements which probably attracted most attention was the Increua* of 1.0H7.000.000 francs in the French bank’s note circula tion. On its face this might seem like helpless recourse of the government to the bank, to finance the public deficit. But it so happens that the state, which in the preceding week had borrowed 2,000,000,000 from the Bank of France, paid back In the past week 300,000,000. Tins is fairly good evidence that the week’s billion franc in crease in the note circulation wai not pri marily Inflation resulting from government borrowing on the war-time scale. The in ference would seem to he that the week’s largest note expansion was mainly a re sponse to commercial demands for the year-end settlements. This inference Is In fact confirmed by the fact that, in the corresponding week a year ago, the bank increased its note circulation 933,000,000 francs, although the state In the same week paid off 460,000.000 of Its loan. Financial Topics. The strength of New Orleans. Texas A Mexico stock, .which advanced 2% points from 86 to 87% on 'Wednesday's market and today sold up to 88%, was explain ed in various Wall steet circles to the report that the Southern Pacific was seeking to acquire the company. This was officially denied, however, and of ficers of the New Orleans. Texas A Mexico expressed their opinion today that the strength in the stock was due to the recent improved earnings. Tlie continued strength in Denver A Bio Grande refunding 6 per cent bonds today caused wide Interest in the financial community. According to reports the market upturn of these bonds the last few days has been due to the expecta tion that a reorganization plan, taking the company out of receivership, would be effected soon. It was reported today In banking circles that the Perkins commit tee and Missouri Pacific Interests were working hand in hand in whipping the new plan into shape, and that an an nouncement might be expected in a few weeks. Industrial Recuperation. Railway executives whose lines tap the coal regions hold that the estimates of the bituminous production in the United States for 1922 made today in financial quarters, are Indicative of genuine indus trial recuperation.
