Cattle Receipts of cattle were com
paratively moderate, the run of 161 cars
or 4,000 head being the smallest tor n
Thursday since August. The four days' to
tal of 26,600 head Is the lightest since
September. Buyers were all out early
again this morninx and tho beef trade was
another active affair at prices that were
largely 1016o higher than yesterday. Best
native Bteers brought $12.00. No good
westerns were here. Butcher stock was
easily loloc higher, and In spots more
than that. Values arc largely 4060c
higher than the low time Tuesday. Stocker
and feeder offerings ran largely to the
lighter cattle, but they were cleaned up
readily at prices that were 1015c or more
above yesterday. Native beeves and stock
era and feeders are fully 2 5 50c higher
for the week, while western beevea are
easily 26c higher and butcher stock is any
where from 26c to 36c or 40o higher than
a week ago

rather slow from tho beginning. Parkers
were buying a few on the early rounds at
prices that were fully steady with yester
day, while a few sales looked probably 6c
higher. Shippers were only buying a lim
ited supply this morning. Top was $16.30,
steady with yesterday, while the bulk moved
from $16.00 to $16.26. Trade was rather
slow apd there was atlll a number of loads
unsold around 10:30. The market on atock

Sheep Sheep and lamb receipts were lib
eral enough today to make trade slow and
draggy from the start. Little movement of
any kind was apparent on opening trade In
all divisions. The general supply is ap
parently In excess of all demand. Packer
buyers made little effort to take offerings
at steady prices. Fat lambs wore slow to
lower. Good light lambs under seventy
pounds brought J16.00. Heavy kinds were
hard to move. There was some actrvlty In
fat sheep, medium ewes going at $10.76
with less desirable kinds bringing $10,00 0
10.25. Feeder trade was very dull, nothing
of consequence being done before 10 o'clock.
The undertone was weak and lower.

GRAIN ANDPRODUCE
Omaha Hears Embargo on Corn
and Oats Lifted; Cash Spot
Quotations Steady to 5
Cents Higher.
Omaha, December 20. 1917.
Spot arrivals of grain today were 169 cars.
Of these S3 were wheat, 74 corn, 40 oats, 4
rye and 9 barley.
A wire was received by the food admin
istration late yesterday from Washington
announcing that the embargo placed on corn
and oata shipments to the east December
8 had been lifted, effective at once. This
will open the eastern markets to the west
an dcnable the shipment of grain that has
been sold for eastern shipment as soon as
roads can furnish cars and handle the busi
ness. It Is understod that the embargo
was rerpoved owing to the protest of corn
millers In the east who have been unable to
secure supplies from Illinois since the em
bargo was put on. The food control warns
them that corn and oats users shall not
ship more grain than needed for actual re
quirements, with a further threat that If
this notice Is not heeded It will probably
become necessary to renew the embargoes.
Another Influence in the market was the
starting of a movement for the removal of
the maximum price on the corn futures of
$1.28, which was fixed last June, and which,
with the sample and No. ( grades now sell
ing around this price, the market is without
a balance wheel and therefore there Is ne
chance of hedging sales.
These were strong Influences on the cash,
spot quotations being unchanged to 6c
higher. Sales were made more freely and
the demand wis more active. No. ( white
sold at $1.60 and No. 3 yellow at $1.61. No.
4 white sold at $1.42 snd $1.43 and the
same grade of yellow at $1.40 and $1.43.
The bulk of the corn recelvsd hero today
graded No. 6 and better, although several of
those In the No. 6 grade contained the limit
In moisture.
Oats followed In the rally, advancing frac
tionally, generally a quarter to a half cent.
Trade in this article was fairly good, al
though there was no urgent demand. No.
2 white sold at 174tc. and the standard and
No. 2 white grades at 77 He
Rye was steady and barley strony, ad
vancing from lc to Sc. with a ready demand
which easily consumed the light offerings.
No. 2 rye sold at $1,75 4 and No. J rye at
$1.75, while the No. 2 grade of barley was
quoted at $1.46 and $1.61. No. 1 feed
brought $1.41 and $1.43.
Clearances were: Wheat and flour equal
to 385,000 bushels; Oats. 666,000 bushels
Primary wheat receipts were 688,000
bushels, and shipments 244,000 bushels
against receipts of 629,000 bushels, and
shipments of 671.000 bushels last year.
Primary corn receipts were 70.1,000 bush
els, and shipments 317,000 bushels agaln.it
receipts of 664,000 bushels, and shipments
of 869,000 bushels last year.
Primary oats receipts were 707,000 bush

CHICAGO GRAIN AND PROVISIONS.
Wild Advances In Corn, Due to Embargo
Removals on Kastbound Shipments.
Chicago, Dec. JO. -Wild advances In the
corn market took place today owing chiefly
to removal of embargoes on east bound
shipments from Chicago. Tho biggest
Jump was In the May delivery, 6'i cents a
bushel. After considerable fluctuation prices
closed nervous lc to 4c net higher with
January $1.24 to $1.26 and May $1.23
to $1.23. Oats finished 1 to 1, up and
provisions at gains of 214 to 30c.
More excitement manifested Itself In the
corn pit than has been witnessed in a long
time. The big upturn which carried prices
to within 14c of the topmost point allowed
under the rules was accompanied by a de
elded broadening out of trade. Besides
the news of the removal of the railroad
embargo, there were rumors current that
the maximum price limit on futuro de
liveries would be raised or that a maximum
and minimum limit on the price of cash
corn would be established. Later, however,
denials were made that the maximum on
futures would be disturbed and a big share
of the advance failed to hold.
Oats soared with corn, but not to a
sensational extent. Realizing of profits by
holders became a noticeable feature.
Provisions Joined In the upturn of other

NEW YORK STOCKS
Liquidation Ascribed to Doubt
ful Dividend Status of Rails,
Together With Disappoint
ing Crop Report.
New York. Pec. 20. The slock market
traversed familiar ground today, tn.iny se
curities making new mtnlmums on the
broad selling of the forenoon. The propor
tion of lower levels at that period exceeded
any recent session.
Early liquidation was ascribed to the
more doubtful dividend status of rails, as
Indicated by the action of the Baltimore
Ohio directors, together with yesterday's
disappointing crop report.
Tentative support of rails and industrials
at midday developed Into a brisk demand
later, especially In the last hour. Many
Issues were able to fully recover and lead
ers showed extreme pains of 2 to t points,
a few specialties scoring even more sub
stantial advances. The rally was In full
progress at the active close, steels, coppers,
shipping and representative rails leading.
United States Steel, for example, clos.il at
82S. a gain of practically 2 points and
Union raciflc, among the weakest early
stocks made a gross rebound of over 3
points to 104V Sales. 580.000 shares.
Improvement coincided with tho more
aggressive note sounded by the rltlsh rr'-
niler. Some significance attached to the
strength of International bonds, Anglo
French 6s advancing " per cent and the
United Kingdom S'4 per cent. All the
French bonds also hardeiuid perceptibly.
Nominal Improvement was registered by
domestic bonds, although the Liberty $Ha
were heavy at 98.44 to the new minimum
of 98.18, the 4s telling between 97.10 nnd
97. Sales of bonds, par value, aggregated
$5,125,000. United States bonds, old Issues,
were unchsnged on call.
