By HOLLANP. Men of business life and of im portant financial undertakings whose opinioni ire worth while heeding appear to be more greatly concerned over the Grrmtn situation than over oy other at the pre wit time. They are unanimous in the view that three powerful factors In the restor ation of prosperity are liikely to be Influenced, possibly seriously im- paired, by the dcrnian aituation. . For thii reason they look upon the y unprecedented and abnormal effort which Germany is now making to command world markets and to ic cure meant by which lirr future enormou reparation! can be paid ai perhaps the most important subject for world and especially for United State rniiti(r'itmn Th thre factor nrasry to Inftueflee o that tbey will hnve abundant strenfth r. first, ths ronumnJaud rtdurtlun of armament; rand.

Thla la aald to Involve the Inter- eata or American Industry because by ria, aon of th undervaluatksn of the '(lee. man mark, which normally la equivalent io anout is rents as compared with the American dollar, the entire field of ex. porta and Import la affected and many kinds of American Industry may be Im paired, som of thrni In fact compelled to suspend, operation. IVhnt Foreign Kxchang Mean One who la romnetent to discuss thla aunject. for na naa given careful atudy to It. aald that the American peoplo as a whole have Utile nr no knnwledgo of th part foreign whang plays la world economic and financial affairs. He re fered to aeveral peculiar operations In foreign exrhanc which were not directly aaaaoclated with the movement of com. modules bark. and forth. He ca'led at tention to th fact that J. P. Morgan, ' ar atood with hla back to the will, these were his' worda, when he persisted In fulfilling: lila pledge to President Cleve land to prevent the withdrawal of gold from th United Htatea treasury for si, montha. So that he might do thla Mr. , Morgan bought foreign exchange whereroi he could find It, much of It repreaenttng exporta of cotton, wheat and other com modities, , Therefore when approach waa made by ' Great Britain or other natloni upon United States treasury for the gold which Mr. Morgan caused to be brought to th treaaury he gave foreign exchange, , principally nrnrrs upoi j.onann or ijiver pool and good for gold when presented in those cities.' But hla unusual even ex " '-.feaalve demand for foreign exchange Svused the market price of It to advance .'dY and thii advance tended tempor " vnjrbat to disarrange our inter. dent 01 riomlc and financial relations, ciation inYli Waa in 1907. Will be C( Pn'c 01 "r burst with f,l., r , paralysing for a time trade I rJL StlUman lnaturctea th foreign exchange officer of the City bank to notify the World that he would buy all the exchange which hud been ann would be drawn .against shipment ot cotton. Within 4wo or three days some eight or nin millions In exchange were, purchased and. these purchases were utilised by Mr. StlUman so that there cam Immediately an Import of .sold, ob tained In London by ocean cable, to the United States and then the backbone 01 the panlo was broken. ' The of course . are exceptional cases Neither represented actual trade condi tiona bnt they do show foreign exchango can be handled- )n an emergency. .. Max May, when he was the foreign ex-' change officer of ' the largest of Ameri can Trust Institutions handled about 84 per cent of the foreign exchange whicn waa drawn agalnt exports of cotton. This waa done without Impairing to any ex tent the normal exchange relations. . In fact It steadied them. Horace L. Hotch kiss nearly it years ago. perfected a plan whereby of! the first hour of the busi ness day in New. York dlapatchas were received by cable from London whlca quoted th . foreign exchange rate aa they atood at the close of the .London market. , That market cloaed about the time th American market opened. In this way it was possible to deal in foreign ex. chant each day In uch manner as t eecur a reasonable profit. This opera tion moved smoothly, normally and It was of advantage both to the United Stataa ana of London. But Mr. Hotch kisa said this morning" that since the German situation had ao suddenly an alarmingly developed It was almost Im possible to forecast day by day what the movement of exchange' would be, and it waa reserved for speculation to venture In It.- . German Situation. Now Germany by reason of th phenom enal, unheard of exchange situation is able aeriously to threaten world eco nomlo and trad conditions. In fact some are of th opinion that all that Germany loat upon the battle field she is likely to regain by. per financial and economlo methods and this gain will be. unless corrective measures are taken, at the expense of the United State. Germany, la Importing nothing but raw material but she Is exporting many.vc-ommodlties , n lafg quantity. Her leading authorities say that ah already haa aecured all the. raw material which- will ba needed until arly aummer ef next year She has also cured ample food supplies sufficient to feed her people supplemented by her own. food, products, until late spring of next yar. Th German government haa fixed by law a Vain f -,M",t S marks to the dollar as tie, prlc. of bread.. Therefor, th Issuing of flat money wh'ch .J now are- Is not penuuu price of food.

After midday there was buying based on the substantial decrease of over 1,000,00a bushels in the visible sup ply, but the buying was mainly local and this was responsible for the easiness at the finish, buying power being insufficient to absorb the offer ings trom pit longs, There was more bullish news in the afternoon, but it was offset by the poor response on the part of buy ers to these constructive items.

A little commission house buy ing at the outset lifted prices, but th market lost Its gain shortly after under pressure of hedging ssles, th reaction aa a result of this pressure carrying values below tne previous close. Later, a local statistician came out with an estimate of farm reserves of 232,000,- 000 bushel on the last day of November, or 86,000,000 bushels reduction for tun month of October, aa compared with of ficial government figures of' October 1. This caused some buying and prices ral lied again. Local receipts wsre estimated at as cars. Cora Undertone Heavy, Corn had a heavy undertone. There was some local buying early on the strength in wheat. The bugle brought out selling believed to be for the account of a big elevator concern. Omaha interests sold May believed to be for long account. Country acceptances on overnight bids were light, extremely so, and offerings to arrive were 'practically nil. One house re ported new corn being offered more freely from Illinois and Iowa. Local receipts wers estimated at 300 cars. Price course in oats waa Identical with that of wheat. Trad was largely local In character and operations were baaed entirely on the action of the leading cereal. Early In the day some selling was credited to an elevator Interest, sales being made in December and a big com miuelon nous sold. Local receipts were .estimated at 125 cars. Pit Note. 'Wheat demand was generally slow, ac cording to Russell's ot New Tork. Two Important orders are. pending, however. the Greeka being after 1,600,000 bushels Manltobas, and Portugal negotiating for 2,500,000 bushels, latter covering s period of four month' requirements. Country loadings -ot wheat In western Canada last week were 10,160,000 bushels, against 16,692,000 the previous week .and 7,300,000 for the same month last year. Local sentiment in regard to wheat waa mixed, and the majority of traders are doing little eitner way, preferring not to make any extensive commitments until after th markets show a mor pro nounced trend one way or the other. In dications of decreasing receipts ar being watched closely, and especially in regard to the northwest movement, Winnipeg messages were received saying that Coun try loadings were beginning to fall off, and that a steadier tone had developed In the spot and futures market at Winni peg. Winter wheat receipts are expected to be moderate from now on. Galveston wheat stocks Increased 392, 000 bushels, In spite of the embargo on recelnts and liberal clearances, the In crease being due primarily to activity In clearing up stocks on track In anticipa tion of possible strike. This was a fac tor In many markets where the wheat Is being put Into store as fast as possible. St. Louis wired that local exporters there said Antwerp dealers were trying to cancel wheat purchases..

Chicago Tribune-Omaha lie leased Wire. New York, Oct. 31. In all mar kets today was an occasion of pur poseless and uncertain fluctuation of prices.' Call money on. the stock ex change reached the 6 per cent level again; it is not likely to do that often until the traditionally large "interior payments arc completed around the third week of November. Sterling exchange lost ground fractionally, touching a rate 3 cents below last week's high figure;' French and Italian exchange rose sharply. German marks were down a trifling fraction from Saturday ad the rate on Austria, Czecho-Slovakia and Koumania went to a still lower level of depreciation. Possibly that re flected the curious dilemma of the Balkan states, pending ( Hungary's anxiety to send its imperial claimant out of the country and the "little entente's" insistence that he must not go without signing abdication papers. No General Tread. On the stock exchange prices of. sepa rate atocks moved with no particular re lation to one another. Borne of the In dustrial shares rose sharply, others de clined sharply. No inferences could have been drawn from the railway shsres, which hardly moved at all. It probably will be some weeks before sny new in fluence of a tangible sort appears in th reckoning of the fortune ot the com panies. Oross earnings do not yet recover. Compilations of individual statements have shown that while such receipts, in September decreased 10' to 15. per cent from 1920, In October the decrease was 13 to IS per cent. One of the oddities of the day, tn what may by courtesy be called a branch of the foreign exchange market, waa an ad vance In the Wall street bid for Russian "ruble notes," from five one hun dredths of a cent per ruble to six .snd one-half one hundredths. This twas merely a return to the bid price of a week ago, but the street dealers promptly referred It to the offer of Lenlne to Vrecoffntze" the' ' prewar bonded debt of Russia If the powers would agree to recognise Lenine. 'tr 'Ruble Draw Attention. The' noWera do riot seem nartlculaHy eager to accept tnis tempting oner per hans because th price asked Is too high. perhaps because of-reaaoned doubt as ;to whether the Soviet's "recognition" of the debt would be anything more than a com pliment. But the Wall street end of the Incident drew attention to the price of the "ruble paper." A most people know the Russian "ru ble notes" which are aold on Wall street. are not the product of the bolshevist printing press. A cable from Moscow to day gave the total of the paper currency put out by th soviet at the interesting sum ot 9,750,000,000,000 rubles, or at tne ruble's parity value, not quite three tril lion dollars. There Is no reason to doubt tha figure; for both the Russian news papers -and some of the Amelcans re turning .from Russia agree In stating that $2,000 American maney would lately buy 100.000,000 bolshevik rubles. But this would mean a market value of only a three hundredth part of the Wall street ' ruble note" quotation. The rea son Is that Wall street buy and sells only "pTe-revolutlon" currency, whose total never went above 17,800,000 rubles. Tha remoteness of the chance that even those czar rubles" will hereafter be redeemed or settled for Is sufficiently indicated by tho Wall street price; but the market evidently regards that chance as being 300 times as good as the chance for the soviet paper.
