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

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

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

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

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

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,

Chicago Grain
By CHARLES D. MICHAELS,
Chlcag Tribune-Omaha Be Leased Wlrs,
Chicago, Oct. 31 Wheat pursued
its wavering course to the end. tin
ishing with losses of ,'4Hc. 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. Corn
finished 'Avi'Ac lower and oats un
changed to 'Ac lower. Rye finished
'Ai6c higher and barley 'Ac lower.
Wheat Is Sluggish.
Wheat trade was exceedingly sluggish
most of the business being confined -to
locals. Sentiment waa mixed, but there
was a alight difference In favor or tne
bull side. 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..

By ALEXANDER DANA NOYES.
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.
