Bishop Explains Church Attitude Toward Dr. Grant Editorial in Church Weekly Says New York Pastor Betrayed Trust Re posed in Him. Chicago, Jan. 31.—The attitude of the church toward Rev' Terry Stick* ney Grant of New Turk is described in an editorial hy night Rev. Irving P, Johnson, T>. !>.. Episcopal bishop of Colorado, in the January 31 issue of the Witness, a national weekly of the Episcopal church. Rev. Dr. Johnson says: "When the Rev. Percy Grant throws discredit upon the facts of our Lord's life, there is nothing novel or startling in what he says, excepting the fact that he says it ns one who hns pledged himself to be a witness of the faith once f<*r all delivered to the saints. Betrayed Trust. "If the church proceeds against him. tt Is not because the church is particularly interested in his intel lectual views, but soleiy because he 1s betraying a trust reposed in him, and which lie accepted, to set forth the faith as ‘this church he* received the same.’ "Nor is there any particular move ment in the Anglican church to limit freedom of speech, excepting as that freedom «*f speech proceeds from those who'have accepted a trust at her hands. "It is much tlm same as the at titude of the Tinted States govern ment todawrd the discussion of the eighteenth amendment; it does abridge the greatest freedom of speech when it requires its judges to abstain from flouting law on their judicial bench. Difference in Viewpoint. "Of course, these who look upon the church merely as a school of philosophy cannot see the matter ■ from the standpoint of a churchman who looks upon her ministers as guardians of trust. "The difference is that between a man who uses liis personal fortunes jn a speculative enterprise, and a trust officer who risks Ids trust funds in wildcat speculation. "The former is well within his legal lights, the latter is guilty of criminal negligence in the administration of his trust.” Hunters’ and 1 rappers’ Hne6 Total $1,042.50 Lincoln, Jan. 31.—(Special.)—Fines and costs totalling $1,042 were im i posed on seven persons in Lincoln \ and Burt counties for killing and hav j ing In their possession Chinese pheasants and for taking beaver or having hides in their possession.

Feat ure Tran sad ion s of Livestock Exchange A shipment of 20 head of mixed Shorthorn and Hereford cattle was brought to the Omaha market by W. B. Berry of Atlantic, la. The cattle average 1.368 pounds. They sold for the top price of the day of $9.40 a hundred. •'Just as fast as they are ready for market cattle have been shipped out of the Atlantic territory,” said Mr. Merry, "yet there are still a large number of steers on feed in that sec tion. Feed of all kinds is plentiful and considerable of the corn of the section has been shipped to elevators and is bringing 60 cents a bushel.” One of the first shipments of lambs to be brought to the Omaha market this season was brought in by R. K. Talich, who came in with 240 head that averaged 90 pounds and were sold to a local packer for the top price of the day, $14.75 a hundred. The original Investment represent ed by motor vehicles registered to day equals more than $11,000,000,000. i MARKET,. FINANCIAL AND INDUSTRIAL NEWS OF THE DAY __' . . - - ■ - -4. ... .- ' Omaha Grain Omaha, Jan. 31. Total receipts ot grain at Omaha were 145 cars* against 165 cars last voar. Total shipments were 158 cars against 159 cars a year ago. There was a fairly good demand for all grains on the Omaha market at prevailing prices. Wheat sold to 1 cent lower. Corn was unchanged to 'io lower. Oats going at. unchanged to ',c lower prices. Rye was quoted unchanged to lower and barley niminally unchanged. Lower Liverpool wheat cables es timates of large world's shipments of wheat and moisture reported in the southwest and a slack demand at i ranted selling from commission houses and local traders in the Chi ! i ago futures market and prices dragged during the early purt of the ; session. Argentine reports were un favorable regarding the growing corn crop and extended a sustaining in fluence in that grain for a time, but wheat continuing to decline finally caused some setback to the corn. Near the close when local shorts tried to cover they found very little for sale and were forced to bid the market up In get the grain back, causing a sharp advance, final figures being close around last night's close.

Local traders were on the selling side early and May dropped to $1.10, at which figure there was buying on resting orders. The Surplus was taken I out of the pit and short covering toward tlie last made a strong rally, with (he finish 3 8til-2c lower. Corn showed stubborn resistance to pressure and closed firm and l-4c higher to l-8c lower, the latter on July, while oats were unchanged to l-8c higher and rye l-4c lower. Weakness in exchange tends to re strict export business in wheat, and bids from abroad wore generally out of line, the decline in francs the past few days being equal to 8c a bushel on wheat. Liverpool was off 7-8>n l-4d at the last ami reported increased pressure from Argentina. I’lt tivmom. There was no moisture of consequence reported in the dry sections of western Kansas and Oklahoma, but the trade was m no mood to pay any attention to any bullish developments. The rally which came toward the last was due almost en tirely to an oversold pit condition. Move ment of winter wheat#is now much smal ler than last year, Out of spring remains considerably larger. May corn sold at tho best figure in over 10 days, and the market showed a strong undertone throughout tho day, with the finish about the top, w ith i h«* May at a fractional premium over the July against ;0 under the previous day. Spreading operations were responsible for the nar rowing of tio- difference. Sentiment was generally bullish, although there was no striking change in the character of the nows. Fears of crop deterioration in Argentina w as an important fuel or in the market. Liverpool dosed 3-4d higher. Receipts, 200 cars, with tho basis un cha nged. oats held within u range of he, on the active deliveries and dosed about steady. Thejo is a lack of incentive to take a decided stand on either aide of the mar ket at the present time. t’ash demand is slow, with receipts GH cars. Further seeding is reported in the southwest. • lormany is report'd to Wiiv- taken min,ooa bushels Russian rye in the last few days and there was a lAck of ag- | gresslve buying Hi times here. However, I the market did not act very heavy. The! two northwestern markets received 201 J cars. 1 *it Note*,. While there was little in the news to •i count for it, there was a somewhat less ln-arish sentiment noted among local traders and commission houses after tho • lose, and the general belief was that w hilo w licftt prie s might hold close to the present level for .i week or so. there was lit11 • use in selling on the breaks. Tim rapidity with width tho market gets oversold has surprised many in the trade and is taken as Indicating t hat t He sur plus has gone into strong hands. In some quarters the belief prevails that should there ho a material change for tho better i alroid a decidedly sharp upturn would he witnessed. There are indications of a somewhat , broader trad'* in corn and commission houses generally had more outside of- , ders than of late. Sentiment was more j bullish than of late, with the trade now j inclined to keep their eye on develop ments in Argentina. Kastern demand for cash t orn is very slow, however, and there j is more or less congestion at Atlantic I terminals and it is expected that values will hold within relatively narrow lim its for a whlk*. Winter wheat condition is gnio rally fa- | voruble except in southwest Kansas, con- ^ I pal and western Oklahoma and north- . western Texas, according to tho govern ment. weekly weather and crop report In north central and northwestern Kansas i h'* outlook is fair. Kastern and south 1 . .• rural Kansas ;*id eastern Oklahoma are in good shape. In a long summary of the grain situs- , Hon. t\ A Johnson & Co. express the be- ! lief that the greater part of the bearish influences in wheat are discounted by ; ho price and that May corn and oats are ati investment purchase. A. T. Martin of Harlett Frazier com- , patty, returned from a lo-days’ trip in the east. He says that the almost gen . ral belief prevails in nonapeculative quarters that wheat is the cheapest com modity in the world, with indications that if the market started upward there would be a broadening in the trade. Im porters are doing nothing at tho present 1 (imp waiting for the foreign situation t„ , inar up. but believe that tho demand is there. , A There is a story In the east that lmg llah mill stocks are so small that fre quently mills have io shut down for a day or so, if boats do not arrha^on time.

Jan. 31—Today'* for eign exchange market—which was : again watched with rather more in terest than the market for stocks— showed by its movement how great ly the recent course of rates has been governed by sentiment and im agination. An early decline affected even sterling and carried the franc to 5.77c. The weakness was, how ever. abruptly checked by the news at noon that the British cabinet bail agreed to the American terms for re ' funding its government's war in i debtedness to our treasury. But tlie exchange market had evi dently laid much more stress on the question of terms, and as a matter of actual fact, it must bo said that the sterling rate has advanced on every previous ocasion when tlie British exchequer has shouldered its burden and declared its purpose of paying up in full. Recover Early l oss. Put tlie preliminary agreement on tho terms of the British debt-refunding had nothing do with tho situation in the Ruhr, yet both the franc and the mark recovered all of their early loss or more, j along with tho 1 cent rise in sterling. This happened In spite of the fact that European rumor, as reported in today's cables, had its alternating cold fit. The franc ended the day unchanged from the day before, and no new light was thrown on tIn* extraordinary earlier movement of the w<*oK. In tho stocifi market prices had declined before tin* announcement regarding the British debt, after which an irregular re covery followed, leaving the day's net I changes irregular. Railway shares were inclined to fractional weakness, yet to day's statement of December net earn ings was unusually favorable. There are | exceptions, mostly among tlie coal car riers, but some "f the roads haVo made fairly spectacular increjiS* over December, 1!'21. especially in th$ northwest. As a whole, tho month's net revenue as reported to date is considerably more than double the previous years, when 3.4 per cent .was earned on property valuation. Mull Street Notes. Much of the weakness In tho late trad ing was due to developments within the market itself, these developments being the action of the motor stocks sponsored by W. <\ Durant, head of Durant motors. The stocks of these companies have been in the limelight of late because of the selling methods adopted by the former general motor heads in disposing of s»> < urlties to small investors. As a result of the publicity given to tho affairs of this motor car manufacturer the stocks of companies bearing his name have suf fered severely. Durant motors broke an other 17% points today. At the low price of 47 the shares are down 37 points from the high of 84 quoted early in Janu ary, while Durant of Indiana broke an other 4% points to 13%, this stock be ing flown 12*1 points from the high of last month. Tin* break In these stocks affected j tlm list'd motor shares and caused un set t lenient in the general market. one does not ha\e to travel very far fn Wall street to encounter any number of pcopio w ha are entirely fed up on the ; present stock market. Tho complaint Is a general one. One hears It In broker age offices, it comes from the floor of j the New York Stock Exchange, and from tho curb mark *t as well. Tho popular expression in Wall street these days is that “we are not making a nickel." The reason, of course, is that the markets are small and irregular, with extremely nar row price movements, from which It is ■ specially ulffieut for tin* da> to-day trader to extract u profit which would pay him for his time and the wear and tear on his nervous system.
