Jan. 25.—Wheat allowed a rather heavy undertone with a lack of aggressive buying a good part of the day except by ahorts, while corn was atrong on damage reports from Argentina. Wheat closed 1-2*0 l-8c higher, the latter on September, with corn up l-8*01-4o. Oats declined l-8@ U-Se, and rye, l-2c. The situation in wheat showed lit* ! tie change and the market on the : whole acted as though it was in a rut and needed some new incentive to get very far in either direction. Liverpool ignored the strength in affected by increased offerings from American the previous day, being Argentina. Canada and America. This, with the foreign developments, result ed in reinstating of short lines by bears, who covered Wednesday, but they were run in later when com mission houses and seaboard inter ests took the buying side. Mprctadlng Continues. Spreading operations between Chicago end the northwest continue on a fair scale Minneapolis May closed l*c under Chicago, against Ho on Wednesday while Winnipeg was 4 He under Chicago, against 6c the previous day. Export demand on the whole was limited and premiums at i the gulf declined He with sales at 7 He over May. Reports of serious damage to the new Argentine corn crop by drouth and hot weather was the dominating influence in the local corn market, and while trade whs not large an advance of over lc from the early low point was easily attained. Dullish sentiment tai more pronounced and it took but little buying to start the market upward with some buying that was regarded as reinstating lines re cently sold out. Country offerings con tinue light. Domestic and export demand is limited Receipts 186 cars. March corn sold at 69c or 3 He under May. nearly a full carrying charge difference. Local spot basis was easy. Little interest is being taken in the oats market and there was an absence of buy ing by cash houses so noticeable the pre vious day. Shipping demand was lim ited with receipts S3 cars. Russia has sold 660,000 bushel* rye to Finland in the last few days, according to a seaboard message There was a lack of aggressive buying a good part of the day and the undertone wa« easy The two northwest ern markets received 118 cars. Pit Note*. Wheat traders continue to talk rather bearish due to the slow export demand, relatively small speculative trade and the general foreign political and financial situation. While numerous rallies are ex pected from time to tme due to oversold onditlnns. a majority of the trade can see nothing at tho moment on which to base a belief that there will he a perma nent upturn from the present level and regard the market as a sale on all the up turn. If is too ear./ in the season for dry weather in the southwest to have much effect on values, although should rain or snow fall overnight in western Kansas and Oklahoma it might result in a decline in values •Serious deterioration of the new Argen tine corn crop was confirmed by private Buenos Ayres cables today- The houst leeeivlng them admitted that they had figures giving the estimated losses but re fused to put them out. Sentiment in corn i* inclined to the bud side, but there is lit 'c outside buying and the market Is oa.-ily influenced at times. Argentina has 146,000.000 to 160,000.000 bushels wheat of good quality available for export this year, according to Mr. Krassney of Bunge and Born, leading Argentine exporters, who arrived at New York Wednesday. Very liBtle of this w heat has been sold so fsr. Freight en gagement* for January and February arc quite large and Indication* are that a considerable amount of wheat will be shipped before it I* sold, and will have to be disposed of in transit. Proposed change in tho rules of the Chicago Board of Trade creating the position of assistant to the president, was carried bv a ballot vote of 412 to 286. Argentina corn acreage this year Is 7.850,000 acres, compared with a 1916-20 average of 8.442,000 acres. It is officially estimated 9.600.000 bushels of old corn remain for export, rractically eliminating Argentina as an exporter until the new ctop i* available in April and May. Canadian national railways have re mov'd embargoes on shipments of grain from Fort William and Port Arthur to Portland, Me., and will accept 40 cars a day. A Canadian cash wheat handler who was in New York estimated that farmers owned 25,000,000 bushels of futures at Winnipeg, in addition to the holdings of cash wheat. On January 1 Canada had around 175,000.000 bushels wheat avail-1 able for export, he figures. CHICAGO CLOSING PRICES. By Updike Grain Co AT, 8312, ,TA. 2847. Art. I Open. | Hlah.

IS.—Today’s mar ket* onee mors Indicated unwilling ness or inability to "discount" results in the Ruhr, 'whether for better or worse. The- stock markets were firm in London, Paris and New York; on our own stock exchange. Indeed, nearly all shares made at least frac tional advances, with a few recoveries of a point or more. But all of this movement was ascribed by Wall street to hopeful views of home trade, and in actual business the market narrowed again to a total not much above that of the w-eeks earlier and distinctly inactive days. In the foreign exchange market, in ertia was even more apparent than in stocks. European rates swung back and forth In a small orbit and ended with negligible changes. Sterling Change* Sterling at Paris, which had changed the direction of its movement on every {•receding day this week, changed Jt again today. For the time being, at any rate,„ this and other markets have passed into somewhat the same position as was taken by the markets of last August, after the series of calamitous prophecies about the strike had been made and had promptly been refuted by events. One or two rather Interesting movements were reflected in the weekly federal re serve statement. Rediscounts, which were largely reduced in this week of 1922, showed Increase of $66.300,non, half of the expansion occurring at the New York bank. This makes net reduction since the end of December only $50,100,000 as against $329,600,000. in the same period a year ago. The reserve ratio, although highest of the month to date, fell below that of this week in 1922. On the other hand, a large reduction of outstanding reserve notes made the month's total decrease $238,800,000, com paring with $259,400,000 last year.’ How far the movement of rediscounts is a re sult of the active general trade cannot yet be positively said. The French bank's weekly report of the outstanding paper currency attracted In terest. as it is bound to do so long as the present deadlock in the Ruhr persists. During the last week the bank has re duced the note circulation 300.992,000 francs, making 646.186,000 total reduction since the turn of the year. This compares-, at least respectably with the 968.200,000 francs reduction in the same w-eeks of 1922. though this year’s cut has not yet offset the 1,377.000,000 francs expansion of the last fortnight of 1922. Xh* govern ment paid off no more of its debt to the bank of France this week; it has repaid [>00.000.000 since the December treasury settlements were completed. rhe peculiarities surrounding the busi ness of trading in bank and trust com pany stocks were clearly reflected today in the bid price for shares of the York ville bank, capitalized at $200,000, No transactions have been consummated in this stock for years, according to spe cialists, and the last previous sale was In the neighborhood of $600. Since that time, however, there has been an exten sive growth of the bank, and the bid pries today for tho stock was $900. No sales have been reported as yet. A reduction in telephone rates report ed about to be ordered by the public service commission throughout New York state, would have no effect, at least for a considerable period, on the present divi dend rate of the American Telephone and Telegraph company, it was unofficially stated. The commission’s order. It ia un derstood. contemplates reductions rang ing from 7 to 8 per cent in densely popu lated sections of New York city and 6 per rent in other parts ot the state. Re sources of the American Telephone and Telegraph company, which Is n. nation wide utility, are so large that the* sug gested rate cuts would not so materially affect the revenues of the company as to cause any scaling down of the present distribution of 9 per cent per. annum. Amoa I*. Beaty, president of tho Texas company, before the senate committee investigating the oil Industry, said that earnings of the company for 1922 amount ed to approximately $25,600,000 net. This is equal to about $3.87 a share on the >164.450,000 capital srcck. consisting of $6,578,000 shares of $25 par value each outstanding. Recent estimates in Wall street credited the company with earning , about $4 a share last year. 1 Tho Bethlehem Steel corporation issued j preliminary figures covering operations for the year 1922. These showed net in come of $6,650,630 after all deductions, Including tax-s. Interest, depreciation and depletion. Considering conditions in the steel trade during the first half of 1922, and tho greater part of the third quar ter of the year, the report shows up re markably weh. according to opinion in financial circles. After allowing for pre ferred dividends, the balance available for the $82,500,000 common stock was equal to $1.14 a share. This amount earned on the common was also Mewed with fa- J vor. in view of the fact that the common s«ock includes the amount issued to take over Lackawanna during the last quar ter of the year.
