The new structure whh-h the Standard
Oil company Is now erecting r-dggest the
amazing growth of the Industry in which
the Standard O 1 companies are supreme,
lnce by decision by the ITniteU State
auprenfb court the original Standard Oil
corporation was dissolved anu-tne unua
which composed that organisation began
to be operated upon Independent lines.
One of the estimate recently made shows
that the ncrease In. the strength and re
source of the various unit which for.
merly composed the manaara cm cor
poration and which are now Independent
na been ao arreat aa to be. in the ag
-egatp. SO times aa great as were me

en accusation that covert methods or
latin- the so r t. if not the terms, oi
ttte decision of the aupreme court, has
been nun in use.oy any oi tnese unite,
What the '.Increase Mean.
One of the executor of an estate in
which were Standard Oil certificates has
computed that the tnorea&e In the value
of these certificates slnco-the dMasolutiofi
of the original Standard Oil . corporation
haa been sufficient of Itself to create a
considerable fortune which' tho beneficiary
of the estate will poeeesa. , One peculiar
feature associated with Standard Oil man-
U,n.mman. I m fAonri In ,h. fur-t that
nn,nnjtiuM.i,L .I. '-never' attempt
ed oy any mean artificial . or ain
cere to appeal to thelpubllo for financial
support. Some of the )usl"neaa which haa
been done by the Standard Oil companies
has, it 1 true, receive.! publicity, but
that ha been done chiefly in persuade the
public that the various uniVji now Inde
pendent are striving to maln'taln the su
premacy ot the.UnltetJ .State. in the9il
industry. ! ',. V ji-t
At no time has any of the' managements
recommenaea tne' pvtronas -,os ve cer
tltlcate or tock. When the late H. h.
Rogers was approached by frlendi who
nicking Investments alt that he w;ould
v in reply when the Standard Oil cloni-
panies were referred to was this: "Sitme
people think well of Standard OH proper
ties." Never a word more than this
would he or would aay other of tike
Standard Oil management apeak when
asked for an opinion respecting the wis
dom of investlna in standard ou.

Uiicaifo, Doc. )0. Liquidation was
on in all grains as the result of sell
ing induced by rumors that a large
Chicago and New York commission
house, which after the close proved
to be L. W. Vagncr & company.
was in trouble. Added to this was
the bearish construction placed on
the government report on winter
wheat of the previous day. Stop loss
orders were uncovered on the way
down, and while there was a rally
toward the last on short covering,
the close was at net losses of 2 l-8(g
J-4c on wheat, 1(3)1 1-oc on corn,
S-8l l-2c on oats and 3 l-23 S-8c
on rye.
Some traders had a tip that the
Wagner failure, announced after the
close, was impendine early m the
day, There was heavy selling' of
wheat by houses that had grain
bought from h. W. Wagner & com
pany. This started the market
downward and there was a lack of
the aggressive support which was
such a factor the two previous days.
Under $1.15 for May, wheat stop
loss orders were uncovered, but it
was not until near the close that the
announcement of the suspension of
the Wagner house was received from
iew iorK. ino lonnar announce
ment was made at Chicago until
I'M! p. m., or nearly an hour after
the grain exchange closed.
- Wheat Price Off.'
At the Inside figures wheat was off
2?i04!4o from the previous day's close
with July leading. A report that Ar
gentine had sold wheat materially below
what domestic could be offered abroad
had considerable Influence on sentiment
aa did the large acreage for the new
winter crop as shown by the government
report.
The rally from the Inside figures was
uue mainiy to speculative buying. There
were reports, of a good export business
under way and after the close tales as
hgh as 1.000.000 bushelu -were aatlmuteil
to have been made, mainly hard winters.
-wining oemana continues Slow and cairn
prices were lower in all markets. A ma
terial increase in ' the movement Ib ex
pected to terminal markets as soon as 'the
new freight rates go into effect. Foreign
markets were firmer with further rains
reported In Argentina and Australia,
Corn Bhowed fair strength early, but at
no time were prices higher than the pre
vious day's finish. , The weakness in
wheat and liquidation by scattered hold
ers, as well as houses that were evening
up, combined with hedging; pressure was
responsible for the break, but the big
decline which carried values off l2Vic
under tha - previous finish did not come
until after noon when the failure rumora
commenced to be generally circulated.
This found the market poorly supported
for a time but at 63 cents for May there
was free buying and a rally of 1 cent
from the low came at the close. -
Seaboard Demand Active.
Outside markets outbid Chicago for
com in the country and Peoria was esti
mated to nave bought as high as 500,000
bushels in Iowa on overnight bids. De
mand from the seaboard was fairly active
but bids were below sellera' - views, beinf
7o over May, track New Tork and 6c
over track Baltimore, . Domestic' sales
were 105.000 bushels. Receipts, 227 cars,
and export sales at the seaboard ex
ceeded 200,000 bushels.
Liquidation was on in oats, with Decern,
ber in Ihe lead, and at one time the
filling of a 10,000 bushel order found the
nearby future without support and carried
the price off c. ' Cash, demand waa
much better, with shipping sales of 420,000
bushels. Receipts, 89 cars. .
Rye declined in sympathy with oth.ir
grains and closed within a)o of the
bottom, showing the greatest loss of any
grain. Export business was under way
out no figures were given out.
Pit Notes.
"Last week," i said the Northwestern
Miller,, "was one of tho quietest expe
rienced by Minneapolis mills on this crop;
even bargain counter prices were no in
centive and estimated bookings reported
were exceedingly light. Mill representa
tives In some of the larger markets say
they cannot recall a time when competi
tion was so fierce or prices soAiemoralized.
They claim that bakers are doing at
least 26 per cent less business than nor
mally at this time of year and that flour
stocks are ample for present require
ments." "With the government reports out nf
tne way. we will look at the domestic
movement of wheat now, the exports, the
toreign prices and our ability to pay
them," said Thomson McKinnon.
The Modern Miller savs: "Growing-
wheat In Illinois. Missouri, Indiana and
Ohio is entering the winter well and con
dition of the crop in this territory Is
high. Conditions In the southwest are
about the same as have prevailed for
some weeks. , General precipitation is
needed."
Heavy rains are reported in Australia.
in Queensland and -South Australia. The
main question now is whether the crops
in those states have been secured safely
without weather damage.
Australian shipments for the year were
107.610,000 bushels of which approximately
20,000,000 bushels was shipped to India,
Japan and Egypt.
A London cable said largo sale of Ar
gentine wheat had been mado to Germany
for January-renruary shipment.

tiilrago Trlbune-Omaba I lee Leased Wire,
New York. Dec; 30. Probably the
most significant movement on to
day's financial market was ' the
strength of foreign exchange. It is
an old tradition of the market that
the shifting of international balances
in connection with the year-end set
tlements will usually make the action
of exchange rates erratic in the last
week of December. That influence
operates only slightly in these days
of depreciated European currencies.
As it happens, the last week of the
year has been marked by active
movement in exchange ever since
lyiH, and the movement turned out
to be a forecast of the next year's
trend in rates. Thus the very weak
sterling market at the end of 1919
may be said to have foreshadowed
the $3.18 rate of the ensuing Feb
ruary and the sharp advance at the
end of 1920 to have indicated what
was to be the market's course in
1921. ... -
Indicates Strong Position.
It would not be wise to trust unre
servedly to the such precedent, but the
fact- in at all events, undeniable that the
persistent strength in exchange on Eu
rope following the recent spectacular ad
vance and without any great subsequent
reaction from the season a highest rates,
indicates an unexpectedly strong posi
tion. Sentimentally, French' exchange has
naa against it the prevalent dislike at
the French policy in the Washington
conference and Italian exchange tha
credit troubles in Italy. .
Yet even the rates on those market
have lost only a trifling part of their
Hrgo advance from the year' low level
and both went higher today. In view
of tr.-e extent to which Europe s eco
nomio reconstruction is the outstanding
prooiem just now before the government
and of the further fact that, the foreign
exchange market has heretofore correctly
foreshadowed coming events in such di
rectlon when the general expectation
was erroneous, the character of this mar
ket at the end of the year is highly re-
assuring. - -' i .
General Movement Kpward.
Today's Stock market did 'not chanera
in character. There were declines as wall
as advances, nut the day's general move
ment was upward and the familiar spec
tacie oi naif a -dozen stocks suddenly
ma up 1 to 3 points, usually for no
particular reason, was repeated.
The . one incident v of special Interest
on- the bond - market - was- the rise of
United States Victory 4 per cents above
the highest, price ever touched bv them
on the open market. Selling In considerable
amounts today at $100.10, they over,
topped the $100.08 price which was high
record when the bonds -were being sup
ported on their first appearance la the
market during 1919.
But bonds with relatively near mntiir.
tty are now necessarily valued, like the
short term treasury certificates, ty pres
ent ana prospective rates ror money.
The rest of the investment bond market
moved in a singularlv confused manneri
advances and declines occurred simul
taneously ' In bonds of the same nualltv
aim no oennite trend to the market as
a wnois Deing as yet indicated.

mittee apparently arc agreed that

were closed today, though on Janti- "
ary 9 representatives of the south

Lumber and dairy , products were
the principal subjects discussed to
day. . the lumber hearings beinn
marked by charges by Robert B.
Allen of Seattle, speaking for the
West Coast Lumber Manufacturers'
association, that "a Canadian lobby"
in Washington was fostering "an in
sidious nronaeanda" against the
proposed duty of 50 cents a thou
sand on shingles and the nrdvision
of tlic Fordney bill giving the presi
dent' authority to impose a duty on
lumber if countries now taxinpr
American lumber imports decline to
remove that tax. . . j
Mr. Allen stiDPortcd these pro- ,
visions, while they were opposed by
Donald D. .Conn of Mmncapotis for .
the Western Pine Manufacturers'
association: Harrison I'atton for the
Northwestern Lumbermen's tTssocia- ,
tion, and other witnesses. '
Mr. Conn, rcferrmg;-Jo' Mr. Al
len's charges, said he was uit-aware
that there was "a Canadian lobby" .
in Washington,, and that if there
was one, 1 am it. lie aciaeuj
however, that the Canadian holdings!
of the interests for which he spoke
were very small as compared to their
American holdings.

Balderson of Philadelphia, secretary
of the Interstate Milk Producers,'
association, and ,-A. M. Loonns of
Washington. - who said . Jierejre5
sented the National Dairy union and
the National Grange.
These witnesses charged that the
Danes were making the United -States
"a dumping ground" for their
butter whenever they found the
English market, their natural outlet.
weakened.
They contended that' production
costs in Denmark were much lower
than those in the United States and
in reply to questions said butter was '
selling in this country now at about
the prewar level.
Lharles W. Holman, executive
secretary of the National. Milk Pro
ducers . tederation, wno spoke tor .
that and other organizations, asked
for a duty of 4 cents a pound on ;
cottonseed, sova bean and cocoanut
oil and 4 cents a pound on peanut
oil, with compensatory duties on the
raw products from which those oils
are extracted. . He said the United
States easily was able to produce
all of the raw products to substitute
tor these oils which are being im
