M.if m Chicago Grain Chicago, Jan. €.—Grain markets oontlnue under pressure, with foreign political conditions preventing aggres sive buying on the part of the bulls. May wheat dropped to $1.17%, a new low on the present downturn and 9%c under the recent top, and closed lc lower for the day, with deferred de liveries %®%c lower. Corn was off %®%e, oats %®%c and rye %c. Lard lost 7%®12%c, while ribs were unchanged. Scattered liquidation and realizing sales was on a good part of the past week, and while there was & moderate rally from the inside figures the un dertone was none too strong at the last. For the week wheat showed net losses of 2%®4%c, corn l%c, oats, %®%c and rye 2%c. Provisions showed moderate activity and. while easing off toward tHe last closed with lard 15®20c and ribs 5®7%c higher for the week. Bearish sentiment predominates In wheat and while there was good support around 11.17% for May on resting orders and from .shorts the bulk of the business throughout the day was of local char acter. Deferred deliveries are attracting a little more attention from lnvestora Weakness in the stock market had some effect on values. * While export demand at the seaboard was reported as slow, Kansas City report ed Inquiries there for around 1.000,000 bushels and May In that market has gain ned 2c on Chicago recently, partly as a result of a market falling off In Interior offerings. No moisture fell over night in the dry sections of western Kansas. May corn sold at fractional discount under the July for the first time, but re covered the loss later. Thero was a fair commission house trade with the celling slightly better than the buying Local trad ers generally were on the bear side, despite the reports that outside markets outbid Chicago as much as 4 cents per bushel In parts of Illinois last night. Cash prices were slightly firmer than the close of the previous day. Shipping demand was only fair. Oats held within a moderate range and In the main reflected the action of corn. Shipping demand continues fairly active. While rye showed fair strength early, due to reports of large sales to Germany the previous day, there was little Indica tions of further business and with wheat easy, a decline was easily attained. The two northwestern markets had 125 cars. Pit Notes. The feature of the situation In the grain markets Is that there Is nothing new on which to base extensive new buying for a long pull at present as leading operators see It. There has been heavy liquida tion of late and a nervous irregular move ment of values is to be expected with a downward tendency. A number of local operators are friendly to the buying side of corn on the same baaia as for months past. Outside markets are paying more for cash corn than Chi cago. yet the arrivals here are larger than at any other market. The demand 13 not as sharp as it was at the seaboard and export bids axe below working basis. St. Louis and Southern market* are out bidding Chicago for oats. Ie was said that St. Louis bid 2%c more than Chi cago in the latter’s territory In Illinois which Is turning the oats to the south. T Is bald that Germany has bought C.000.000 bushels rye within a week. One of the largest of the seaboard exporters was a good buyer of May rye here today. Local Interests who are bearish on corn feel that they would like to see an Im proved demand to take care of the ac cumulations before any sustained advance can be brought about, says Jackson Bros. & Co. ^ While a winter wheat crop that haa a good start is less liable to winter killing, statistical studies made by the Department o-f Agriculture Indicate that conditions during the fall months do not bear In general, any material relation to the yield of wheat the following year. j CHICAGO CLOSING PRICES.

An irregularly distributed downward reaction on the stock exchange and a decline in French government bonds made up today the home market's particular weekend comment on the European situation. Wall street continued, how ever, to pay special attention to the foreign exchange market, where Thursday’s decline was renewed in sterling, francs, lire and the German mark. French exchange lost all of the pre vious day’s recovery, touching the lowest price of the week, and the mark nearly reached the low record figure, the 1*4 one hundredths of a cent of November 8. The curious cross currents in the markets were shown by the fact that at Paris, the only large European market which was open today, bourse prices were firm and sterling moved sharply in favor of Paris. The weakness of the mark would have had sufficient explanatloo In the repara tions deadlock, but It must have been helped by publication of the relchabank’a statement for the last week of 1922. That week has always been distinguished at Berlin, even in prewar days, by the largest note expansion of the year; it was not to bo supposed, therefore, that the figures on thie occasion would be of mddest pro portions. As a matter of fact, the paper currency was Increased in that week by 143.186.000. 000 marks; a figure which, as recently as last May, represented the total of such currency outstanding. Somewhat p> the surprise of people who have -watched the German currency movement, however, this was not a "record." The preceding week’s expansion had been 166.700.000. 000. It is not apparent why there should have been this slower pace of output when the banks' discounts in creased 212,892.000,000 marks In the week of December 30, as against only 142,829, 000,000 In the week of December 23. But one can only make guesses when dealing with such a situation. Except for a few of the foreign bonds, mostly French and Belgian, the bond, market was again firm. Ths new United States 4*4 per cents went to par again and the fourth Liberty 4V4s reached the highest price since the downward reac tion of last autumn. One statement of passing interest, illus trating the large demands on credit for the yearend settlements, was a decrease of 961,966,000 in the surplus reserve ac count of the clearing house banks, cre ating a deficiency of $37,012,000. This, as the statement shows, wss wholly due to $67,227,000 reduction In reserve credits at the federal bank following an Increase of 99,000,000 during th£ four preceding weeks. Under the old-time banking sys tem, such a showing would have caused dismay; it would not. In fact, have oc curred except as a consequence of panic qtratn. Nowadays it means only a tem porary miscalculation of immediate re quirements, and the deficit will be can celed In a week or two. Financial Topic*. An Initial dividend of $1 a share Quar terly was declared on the common etock of th© Producers and Refiner* corpora tion, payable March 15, to atock of record March 1. The company's earnings for the full year 1922 were the largest in the history of tho company, according to r statement made by a director fol lowing (he meeting of the board. De tailed figures for last year's operations, however, will not be available until the annual report Is Issued. ✓Most international bankers profess to iee an early end to heavy Imports of gold to this country. Gold will commence to dribble in. they believe, from time to time, as profitable transactions are en countered at the London auction by our bankers. But the indications point, they say, to the temporary cessation, at least, of governmental transactions. The peak probably has been reached and passed, at least for the present cycle. Interests closely Identified with the management of the American Telephone and Telegraph company estimated today that the earnings of the concern for 1922 would -show In the neighborhood of $11 a share earned on an average of $600, 000,000 outstanding stock, ss compared with $11.10 a share earned on an average of $486,477,500 for 1921. ■ ■■ New York Quotations Rang, of price* of tho leading atocka furnished by Logan A Bryan, 244 Petora Trust building.

Ponies and glues ara marked up about "5 cents; B tallow and No. 2 tallow are %c higher, and B grease is%« lower. So far this year tha bids market has shown little signs of life. I*ocal buyers report that there Is a car or two changing hands, both in the country and packar markets, but that trading Is confined to narrow limits. Packers are still willing to sell hides, but It Is difficult to find buyers for th* moment. It is felt that aside from price changes due to deterioration in qua lify, the market will hold steady for the November and December hides. When the January hides with longer hair and more or leas grubby, come on the market, prices may case off on that class of stock. Prices, however, will depend a good deal on what the leather market does in the next three or four months. There is an abundant supply of leather, but due to the warm weal her, most of the time this winter, hides are not coming In as fast as they were a year ago; and if this short age should become more apparent, there Is a bare possibility that the market may strengthen. Reliable statistics gathered from the best sources of Information show that there are large stocks of hides on hand, evgn larger today than a year ago. though the stocks of leather have been somewhat reduced. The calfskin market Is quiet with but very little demand. Horse hides are easy. Wool and sheep skins continue firm, art the outlook Is favorable for both; and buy' er* are strongly In the market for both. The tallow and grease market is ra garded as strong, but there has not beei much new trading thus far this year. Witl a scarcity of new offerings and a fail demand the outlook seems rather en couraging, so buyers are in the market today for this clans of goods. j Prices printed below are on the basis of ^ buyers' weights and selections, for goods delivered at Omaha: Wool pelts, $1.25 to $2.00 for full wooled skins; spring Iambs, 76c to $1.00 for lsts take off; clips, no value: wool, 30c to $6e.
