I hires Tribune-Omaha Bra UmiI Wire,
New York, Dec. 22. The process
of gradual reaction from recent
rapid advances in various financial
market! continued today. It ailectcd
the prices of bonds and foreign ex
change rates but it wa rather more
emphatic with speculative stocks
tlswhere. In thc net declines at
1 ti J points were again numerous
and there were few exceptions to
the lower closing.
The railway shares were again
comparatively firm, although the
lay's new might have been consid
ered unfavorable to them. It com
prised the tirst November statement
by an important railway, the South
ern l'acilic, showing, as compared
with October, virtually no change in
operating expenses but a decrease
of $4,500,000 in gross receipts. This
1 .is been foreshadowed by the week
U "cir loading" figures which, in
hilf of October, ran close to the
I'O) and 1919 totals, but which, in
November, fell 10 to 20 per cent be
low last year. The hastening of
shipments of merchandise in the
earlier month to avoid the threat
ened strike was the obvious cxplani
tion. Hrdiiuouul Increase.

Taper Currency Keduceil.
Tn the weekly Kuropean bank atate
lunula what will arreat attention la tho
further reduction of the French, paper
currency by 18V. 900, 000 franca, whereby
tho outstanding total la brought down to
-the loweat figure aince October 8, 1919.
This year's reduction atll! leavea the paper
circulation 5,600,000.000 francs aDove wnai

more than five times what It waa hi
July, 1914. But the reduction rrom inc
Mow wnr sum Tnchri in November of
laat year ha amounted to 3,400,0110,009.
Nino veara of continuous reduction at the
same rate would leave French paper cur
rency at It prewar total.
Hy wav of comparison. It la not without
Intereat to recall that at their reapectlve
lowest figures of this season, the French
paper money haa been reduced 10 per cent
from the high mark of a year ago. the
British currency notes nearly 16 per cent,
and our own federal reserve note circula
tion SO i per cent.

Cattle Receipts of cattle were very
light again today, only 1,500 head, but
the demand was slack owing to the near
ness of the holidays and the trade on
beef steers and butcher stock was r.o more
than steady and slow at that. Only a
few- stockers and feeders were on sale
and they sold at about the samo prices
as yesterday. Fat cattle in nearly all
classes are higher than at last ..ceki
low mean closo, steers having gained 25
tr40c, cows generally 25c, ana netrcrs
25(fi50c. As usual around the holidays
stocker and feeder demand has been light
and trend of values for the ween is
easier.

in prices. Springs were reported slightly
higher the last of the week. A slight j
fluctuation occurred the middle of the
week, but prices teported the last of the
week, on most kinds of poultry were
about the same as those reported the
preceding week.
EGGS.
The cgtr market was very unsettled all
week. The continued warm weather .in
creased the receipts of fresh egg3 on the
market, and this, together with the fact
that an injunction against the Chicago
market bad temporarily closed dealing
there causing a marked declined of 8c
per. dozen 011 fresh eggs there, caused a
decline in .he Omaha . market. -Dealers
paid $11.70 to $12 per case the last of
the week. Dealers were not anxious to
load up heavily on fresh eggs. Storage
eggs remained unchanged, selling at 30c
to 45c per dozen, according to grade, to
retail dealers.

Chicago, Dec. 22. Heavy yrofit
l.iking sales in wheat ami corn more
t'lan offset .short covering and while
the markets hat! a very strong under
tone, there was not sufficient outside
business to absorb the increased of
ferings and the finish was at the bot
loni on wheat, with net losses of
3-8c, with July leading. A
big trade was on in corn and at the
top prices were up 7-8(fl l-4c over
tiic previous finish, but the close was
unchanged on the May and July,
while December was up l-4c. Oats
were l-8c higher to l-4e lower and
rye unchanged to l-4c higher.
Local traders who went home long
overnight started to sell at the open
ing, making a slightly lower range,
but their offerings were absorbed by
houses with northwestern connec
tions and May jumped to $1.17 at the
top, showing 4 7-8c over the inside
figures of the week. There was per
sistent buying of December and sell
ing of May by a leading cash house
at 4 7-85c difference, and also a
great deal of spreading and back
spreading between the May and July.
Sentiment H11IIM1.
Sentiment was Eulllsh but the upturn
held to freo selling by recent buyers and
there was also free Belling of Hay here
against purchases at Winnipeg. The lat
ter market. In consequence, was strong
and closed unchanged to c. higher for
the day Little was heard regarding ex
port demand and sales at the seaboard
and gulf were small.
ProKpeets for rain or snow In the
southwest with some snow reported in
Kansas during the day. was responsible
for the comparative weakness of the
July. Korign crop reports were mixed,
with privato estimates showing 5, 00". 000
bushels less surplus for Australia than
recently given.
Receipts have fallen off slinrpty and
a better milling demand was noted. Oma
ha reported a scarcity of choice milling
grain developing in Nebraska and in the
southwest mills otttbjd the gulf as much'
as 9 cents in some instances and secured
only an occasional car.
The passage of the Russian relief bill
by the senaie and heavy buying of De-
eemlur corn by rash houses to remove
hedges iigaiiist sabs to the seaboard for
export, over 600, oou bushels being taken,
combine'!, with short covering and gen
eral buying, advanced prices sharply.
Bouses with country connections sold fu

One of tho best Informed men In tho
gruln tradu, laklng tho world over, fav
ors the constructive side of the market
for all grains. He believes that the for
eign situatiun is such that all thu wheat
will be needed before another crop Is
raised. Wheat advanced iHso this
week. l-'arlier in the week when
the market whs regarded by close ob
servers as having turned upwards they
predicted a 5 cent Christmas rise, on
which llttlo or nothing materialized.
They are now disposed to go slow, in
making further prerllrtions at present, al
though they would not be surprised to
see an advance of u few cents.
There are 34,500,000 bushels of grain
aflo-it at Buffalo, the largest stock in
years. It includes 35,500.000 bushels of
wheat, of which 20, 500, 000 are Canadian;
3,500.000 bushels of corn, -2,600,000 bush
els of oats, 1,000.000 bushels of rye, 300,
000 bushels of barley and 1,600,000 bush
els of flHX.

000,000 bushels of wheat and rye this
season, as compared with 1014. Tho
wheat crop Is reported t 99,000,000 bush
els, aKalnst 85,000,000 bushels last year
and 147,000.00 bushels in 1914. Rye crop
of 259,000,000 bushels excoeds that of last
year ly 62.000,000 bushels, but is 141,
000.000 bushels less than 1914.
Corn is regarded as the cheapest of
ail feeds, selling around six-sevenths of
a cent per pound, while oats are slight
ly above 1 cent a pound and bran at IVic
per pound.
Export sales of around 300.000 bushels
of hard winter wheat were made at the
gulf yesterday, part of which sold at
practically the same figures as No. 2

Would You Like to See
Higher Prices for Corn?
A CAREFUL survey of conditions leads us to
believe that the most effective way of ad
vancing the price of cohi, up to at least the cost
of production, is for the producers to keep back on
the farms as long as possible all the corn they can properly
crib, together with a reduction of corn acreage next year. How
ever, a reduction of next year's acreage would not be profitable
to the producers unless a -large part of the 1921 crop is kept
on the farms.
We sincerely believe that producers generally
'should keep back on the farms all of the corn they
can crib properly, and, if it is necessary for you to
have some money advanced on your corn you can ;
get it from the War Finance Board through your
Local Bank or they can tell you how you can get it.
