Chlcaf Trlkane-Oaaaka Ho leased Wire,
New York, Dec. 16 Today illicit
be drtcribed as a paue to
reckonina; in all of the lately vio
lently active markcti. On tlie Mock
exchange there were as many lt
clinet in prices a advances, most
changes of a point or more cccurr
ing either in stocks wli3?c usual in
activity makes them specially sen
sitive to sudden bids and offers, or
else in stocks which rise and fall on
"rumors" because little i known of
their company' real position,
The day's husine.is wan again
large, but it seemed to consist as it
often does in a market under profes
sional auspices, of something like
passing the same block of stock with
great rapidity from hand to hand
and possibly leaving; it where it
started.
The bond market U not so easy
to understand. In that market also,
naiiy transactions arc almost a
large a they were during the recent
rapid change of values, yet move
ment of prices under thisi activity is
almost negligible.
Speculation In Bonds.
There I doubllesa plenty of speculation
11 bond na well aa aloc.ka and probably
a good deal of apeculatlve realizing on the
actual tnveatment demand, which con
tinues to provide abundant buying ordera.
W'e are now close to I he lime, however,
when It will appear whether the year end
"reinvestment demand' waa or waa not
anticipated by the November purchaaes ou
a rlelng market.
It Is a curious matter "of reminiscence
thnt the laat occasion on which abrupt
decline In bank rataa anil open markat
dlacount ratea coincided, at the beginning
or a new year, with general rise In the
markets for Investment bond was Janu
ary, 1914, just aeven months before the
event which reversed the trend of money
ratea and tnveatment prleVa for the next
even yera.
Sterling Drops Cent.
.Foreign exchange shared In the day's
geneml disposition towards reaction from
recent striking movemenla. . Sterling do
cllned about 1 cent further, but remained
at a aubstantlally higher price than It
reached at any time between Octolier,
1919, and Inst. week. The German mark
fell back to Ita price of a week ago, which
Is, however, more than half aa high
again aa the low record price ot Decem
ber 7.
No evidence appeared thnt the market
waa Influenced by the German govern
ments declaration of inability to make
the next reparation paymenta.

( hirttgo Tribune-Omaha iteo I .eased lr.
Chicago, Dec. 16. Confliclinir re
ports on the domestic and foreign
wheat situation were responsible for
an erratic market,' prices fluctuat
ing rapidly within a range of lrtij
1 Mc, with the close unsettled. De
cember 'was l-4c lower. May 1 -8c
higher and July 5-8c lower. Corn
was firmer early, but reacted and
closed unchanged to l-8c lower,
while oats gained l-4S3-8c. Rye
was i-oc nigncr.'
Local sentiment generally was
bearish, but the old crop deliver
ies failed to get more than 3-4c un
der the previous t av s finish. On the
breaks there was a good class of
commission house buying:, while on
the advances sclltntr orders ap
pcared. Strength in Winnipeg had
considerable influence on the mar-
ket here and December finished there
only 1 7-8c under Chitago, com
pared with 6 3-4c earlier in the
wrck, while May was 2 7-8c tinder.
Exporters were free buyers at Win
nipeg and the advance was easily
attained. ,
Buying at Winnipeg was induced
Ky reports that the Northwestern
(irain Dealers 'association returns
indicated a yield of 251,000,000 bush
els for the three provinces, com
pared with the government estimate
of 308,000,000 bushels. This was
the. same as the report that was is
sued the-previous clay and affected
the market at that time. .
larm Reserve IOwer.
No rain fell tn Kansas. Oklahoma or
Texas where most needed, although there
waa some moisture In eaatern Kansas
where tho outlook has been favorable for
some time pnat. ' The Kanaas state esti
mate showing farm reserves of 37,000.000
bushels, or 60,000,000 bushels less than a
year ago, was responsible for general buy
ing at one time, being regarded aa very
bullish, but the public fail to enthuse
over statistical development and trade,
on the whole, wa light. ,
Liverpool closed lVld higher, du to
heavy rains tn Auatralia and decline In
exchange, but roported Increased pressure
from Argentine grain which Is now of
fered lower than Manitoba or American
hard winters. Based on preliminary
threshing returns, the Argentine crop la
estimated at 187.000,000 bushels, com
pared with 169.000.000 bushels harvested
laat year, and suggests an exportable sur
plus of 117,000,000 bunhels. Milling de
mand in the northweat showed aome Im
provement, with Minneapolis l3o higher,
while in the southwest the cash markets
were firmer, Local receipts, pine cars.
Corn React Toward Close.
Corn and oats were affected by the
strength in wheat but trade waa not large
and corn reacted toward the laat nn even
ing up for the day on the part of local
tradera. Lesa favorable Argentine newa
and scattered buying was reapoiuible for
the strength In oats. No. 3 grades
of cash corn dropped c as compared
with the December and are close to' a flat
delivery basis. Shipping demand waa
slow early, but Improved later with sales
of 120:000 bushels to domestic distributors
and 40,000 bushels to the seaboard. Country
offoring8 Were not large. Kanraa atato'
reports made the yield 96,000.000 bushels
.nin.i mono noo hushels harvested las;
year. A little corn was sold at the sea-
board to Germany.
Rye followed wheat with some buying
of May rye and 8elling of wheat at 24c
difference. Exportera were after grain
hut no sales were reported,. No. 2
nn trade sold at 3 o over the December.
Receipts,- two cars. ,,

The Kansas state report, aa wired by
King of Toledo, makes the final 1921 esti
mate of winter wheat 128.000,000 bushels
or 6 000,000 bushels more than the August
estimate. "The corn crop Is placed at
