MARKET. FINANCIAL AND INDUSTRIAL NEWS OF THE DAY Omaha Grain January 9, 1923. Receipts at Omaha were light to day, aggregating 83 cars of all grains as compared with 372 cars last year. *n(»a^ were 154 cars against llT cars a year ago. There was a very good demand for the light offerings of cash wheat on the local market with prices un changed to Me higher. Corn met a ready sale, 1-4 to /c higher. Oats wre strong. Me to 3 4c higher. The market being generally 3-4c up. Rye was quoted unchanged and barley lc lower. After a somewhat easier start grain market developed a, strong undertone and advanced sharply due largely to h'v y buying by commission houses, wall seaboard connections, indicat ing an export demand and also to the fact that reports from the southwest indicated a dry condition with high winds and that farmers have let up selling cash wheat and elevator stocks have been reduced by the shipments of late.

Sentiment changed somewhat due to the failure of tho markets to decline on bearish developments, and the finish was at net gains of 3 8® 3-2c on wheat. 3*4®7*8c on corn. 3-4 ®l -2c on oats and 3 8c on rye. Wheat made its lowest process at the start on selling induced by a decline of 5-8£3-4c in Liverpool. The latter was influenced by political develop ments in Europe, with a break in continental exchange and on lower Argentine offerings. Under $1.18 for May there was a good class of buy ing by commission houses and of ferings were readily absorbed. A bulge of 1 3-8c from the low point due more to lack of pressure than ag gressive buying followed the upturn, being lost at one time as the result of a bearish statement as to the world's statistical position issued by P. S. Goodman. Strength In sterling exchange and pri vate reports that the situation in Europe was improving was the basis for ; buying. Export demand was rather slow with some hard winters taken at tho gulf. Milling call was fair with premiums here firmer In light offerings. In the south west farmers have ceased selling freely. Corn showed Independent atrength, and while buying was largely of a local char acter there was no pressure on the market and an upturn of lVic from the low point was easily attained. The general run of new-s was somewhat more bullish and receivers generally look for relatively small arrivals for a week or so unless the market should have a sharp upturn. Teeders continue to absorb corn freely snd outside markets again outbid Chicago down state. Rains in some sections of Argentina iiad little effect nor did claims of locusts. Receipts 223 cars with the basis somewhat easier. Oafs acted a little tight with some buy ing of May to remove hedges against shipping sales, but the latter was not so large as of Tate. aggregating 141,000 buahels . The trade' was largely of a local Character. Houses with northwestern connections were fair sellers of rye, while the sea board wan a persistent buyer and with tho strength in wheat brought about a higher range. There was a fair business with Germany at the seaboard and local handlers sold 10,000 bushels to exporters. Two northwestern markets had 116 cars. Pit Not**. The grai.i markets are regarded as more two-sided. Tho advance yesterday v as due to the shorts covering and lack of heavy selling during the morning and to lighter offerings later. It was notice able that good selling developed on the ! bulges. Those who are bearish say they see nothing on which to induce buying, while opar&tors working on the construc tive side regard the market ns In a posi tion to respond to any good news froru abroad coupled with increased buying. Argentina is to be more of a factor in the European markets from now on. Broomhall's agents, whose estimates on the Argentine surplus for years have been close to the actual figures, reiterates its recent estimates of 160,000,000 bushels, which is higher than any other authority there. Offerings and movement from the country there are Increasing and there is a fuir demand from abroad, Argentine markets were weaker and lower, the close on Buenos Aires being 2Vfcc lower on wheat, tic off on corn, lc lower on oats, and 4c on flax. Uosario dropped 3c on wheat and to Me on corn. Corn traders who are disposed to buy . on all breaks find that there is plenty on ' sale on bulges. The movement, while not as heavy, is more than ample for all mar ket requirements, athough the Increase of 104,000 bushels as shown by Bradstreet'a last week was small. This is the basis for the buying by a few local operators. While the European wheat crop in 1922 was around 200,000,000 bushels less than last year and import requirements have been estimated as high as 800,000,000 bushels, P. J4. Goodman, the Clement Curtis & Co. statistician, figures that on the basis of the export clearances tor the tlrat six months of the season the world's total will he only 675,000,000 bushels against 636,000,000 last year. A Carry over of 175,000.000 bushels at the end of the season ta Indicated, and this does not in clude the new Indian crop which is re ported to have a splendid outlook on a larger acreage. The trade paid little attention to the reported failure of an Italian grain firm or 10,000,000 lire, or around $500,000* A Russian official report makes acre age under winter cereals in that country this season 47,76$.000 acres, compared With 44,655,000 acres the previous year.

I - Financial New York, Jan. 9.—The judgment of financial markets regarding the European situation remained as in scrutable today as did the purposes of the French and German govern ments. Even foreign exchange began to hesitate in its verdict. During the earlier hours of the day, sterling rose rapidly, l&c, actually coming within % of tho highest rate reached since the week in which it went to $4.69. Simultaneously francs advanced, cancelling nearly all the decline of the day before. While this was going on prices advanced on the stock exchange, half a dozen stocks moving up a point or more. » Ttils attitude did not change until shortly before tho close of business, when what appealed to be aggressive specula tive soiling of both storks and foreign exchange, forced prices back again; with the result that, although sterling ami French exchange ended at a respectable net recovery for the day, the stock mar ket mostly was a picture of irregular de clines. Altogether the markets presented a highly perplexing picture. Fo other inference could be drawn from the day's markets than continued unwillingness to assume calamitous con sequences of the French demonstration in the Rul-.r. It remained no doubt equally undetermined, whether judgment waa suspended until It was seen if the military move was irrevocable, or until the bad moral effect, if any, of actual occupation could be balanced against the other and nonpolitical influences. The sense of speculative backing and filling pervaded every market. The French re public 6 and 1% per cents rose early In the bond market, closing after some re action, nt substantial recoveries. On Monday the weakness in wheat and cotton prices had been popularly ascribed to misgivings about Europe. Prices for both ended the day at a recovery greater than their decline of the day before. financial Topics. Little surprise was manifested today by interests closely affiliated with the St. Louis-San Francisco railroad concerning tho protest made by the state of Texas by tho merger of the road with the In ternational & Great Northern. It is under stood that prominent lawyers have ten dered an opinion that in accord with the provisions of the transportation act it was not necessary for the St. Louis-San Fran cisco to get the approval of the state of Texas for the acquisition of the Inter national & Great Northern. The Interstate Commerce commission has sot January 25 for a hearing on the applicate of the St. Louis-San Francisco for authority to purchase the stock of the International & Great Northern. The report today of the introduction of a bill in congress which would authorize an increase in the capitalization of the Texas & Pacific railroad from $50,000,000 $75,000,000 was held in local railway uartera as tho first step in the reorgan ization of that property. The Texas * Pacific, which has been In the hands of receivers since 1916, operates under a fed eral charjtcr, which limits the amount of capital stock to $50,000,000. Reports circulated in Wall street on Monday to the effect that the proposed merger of the Chile Copper company with the Anaconda Copper company has been called off were discredited in banking circles today, where it was admitted that conferences were being held almost daily in conection with the consolidation of the two companies, and it is expected that de tails' of the plan will oe made public soon. Tup plan calls for the sale of 2.00(1.000 shares of Chile Copper stock to the Ana conda at liljTa share, or $70,000,000 for the block. This transaction will be linauced through a new bond Issue, which will bo underwritten by' a local banking group. The proposed merger of the Arkansas Natural Gaa company and the Trans continental Oil company, ^ith the Union Gil company of California, nas been agrred upon, accord,ng to reports in the financial district today. The terms are not known in local banking circles, but it was inti mated that these will probably bo made public as soon as the attorneys of the vari ous companies approve the details of tho consolidation.
