Many millions, lorac ofj the eti

were distributed in the Week preced

which were nude , duffing the year.
Ainiojt ill oT these iavingi came
from weekly depoii.,.ome of them

name of the aoalled Christmas
fund. This policy Aval adopted only
a few years ago. f At first the re

each succeeding ytkir the growth has
ottn great Until sfow the jtolicy is

In many of th banka the accumulation
of the Christmas savlnis funda waa ao
larsrn aa to entail much extra clerical work.
In null of the bank th clerks wer
employed far Itftn tha ntiht for two or

the question la asked whether or not theae
new methods for atimulatlng savlnga and
th placing of them not In aavlnls banks,
but In other Inatltutlona. may not by-and

some of tha larger savings banka appear
to be free from any apprehension that
thoae who have learned to aave wilt seek
other placea than the savlnga banka for
depoaltlng their funds.- One of the largest
of the American savings banka In a rajjent
advertisement conaplcuously dtaplayrd, an

new United States treasury . certificates,
One of th banking lnatitutions recently
eatabliahed on Forty-second street, New
York, which Is really a branch of one of
the largest of American National banks,
has perfected and advertised a plan which
is In spirit, If not In name, a plan for
encouraging savings. Any ' one may de
poait ao small an amount aa $1 and as
much rnor aa h sees fit or Is able to
: do. and intereat is immediately allowed
upon It at the rate of M per cent, to be
compounded. 4 '
Met With Instant Success.
So readily was this offer accepted by
those -who had accumulated small sav
ings that It was found necessary to en
large the otftoea set apart for handling
this business. Now the offices reach
from Forty-aeoond to Forty-third street,
and the dollars are coming In daily in
considerable amounts. This is savings In
the real meaning of the term, nd It la
substantially carried on in the (manner
. which characterises the savings banks.
Thsref or, i from ono point of view It is
In competition with the' savings banks.
It is the understanding that other banks
are to sdopt a similar policy. "
All of these undertakings, however, are
In the Intereat of thrift. For It la a fact
that the American public as a whole has

Chicago, Jan. 5. A marked im

cash wheat in all of the leading mar

professionals, and while there was

under pressure from cash houses
and closed l-4c to l-2c lower, white
oats were unchanged and rye l-8c
lower. , -
Local traders were rather friendly
to the buying side -of wheat early
and there was also buying by honses
with northwestern connections that
usually act for mills. Minneapolis
May showed pronounced strength
as the result of mill buying and led
the advance in all markets, closing
1 l-4c higher. St. Louis and Kansas
City both reported mills after cash
wheat, with sales of 125,000 bushels
at St. Louis since Saturday.
Efforts to take profits found tho
market without support at onetime
and made the break to the low
point, but toward the last there was
good buying by shorts and commis
sion houses on reports that a Chi

all of the small stocks of dark No.

Weather conditions were rather unfav

Little was heard regarding export de

The character of buying, aalde from
that by the northwest, was not of a very

market from which It failed to recover.
Commission houses and the local element
were fair buyers but there was a lack of
snap to the market.
, lisportere After Grain. ,
Exnorters were after grain here and In
other markets and took 200,000 bushels
here, ITomestio demand, however, was
less active. Country offerings were not
large in any sections, although It is be
lieved that clear, cold weather will bring
out the grain If present prices are main
tained. The grain corporation took 1,660,
000 bushels corn for Russian relief Wed
nesday, making 4,600,000 bushels In the
past three weeks.
While oats averaged lower than corn,
the undertone was not weak and a rally
came toward the last and the finish wa

Kxport business in grain at the seaboard
was light, aggregating 200,000 bushels
wheat and 800.000 bushels corn In addition
to the 1,500,000 corn taken by the grain
corporation for Russian relief. Freight
room was taken for 144,000 bushels wheat

Minneapolis wired: "I hear all our mills
here were steady buyers of our May
wheat yesterday and they have started
in again today." .
Colvln and Harris Wlnthrop were free
sellers of wheat, while Bennett was a
good buyer. Local buns led ty Mincer
were moderately activo oa the buying side
early. , -
Winnipeg wired farmers were unwilling:
sellers except at higher levels.
The increase In the stock or cut meats
at western backing centers for December
was the smallest in 13 years 11,940,000

Inclusive to 1921 for December have been
from 40,521,000 pounds in 1910 to 100,400,
000 pounds In December, 1917. -Minneapolis
wired: "Elevator people here
expect quite an increase in our receipts In
all grains, owing to tno lowering . oi
freight rates. Many elevator companies
have been holding back grain in anticipa
tion. An Increased run la expected to last
only about two ' weeks, however, -after
which the- country will oe pretty wen
cleaned out and receipts will then run
very light for tho balance of th crop

By Updike Grain Co., DO 2627. Jan. S.
Omaha Grain New York Quotations
Receipts of corn continued liberal,
constituting the great bulk of the
receipts. -
Corn was riot much changed, most
cf the samples going at yesterday's
prices. A few sales were made at a
fractional advance and a few at I
fractional decline, but on the whole
the market was virtually unchanged.
The demand for corn was moderate
ly active.
The movement of oats continued
light and the demand fair. This
cereal showed more strength, the
bulk going at 3-4c above yesterday's
bulk price.
Wheat was strong, with the choice
willing samples possibly bringing a
little more than they did yesterday.
Rye and barley were . not much
changed.

By ALEXANDER DANA NOYES.
Chicago Tribune-Omaha Be Leased wire.
New York, Jan. 5. Because of the
customary movement to a stronger
reserve position after the turn of the
year, today's weekly federal reserve
statements were matters of interest.
The ratio for the whole system was
exactly the same as on December
30; in the case of the New York re
serve bank somewhat lower.
The week, which includes, as the
past week did, the entire period cf
the January settlements, is never an
index to the movement of affairs.
Comparison shows that reserves held
for member banks were $65,000,000
greater than a week ago, which prob
ably means that they have been to a
considerably higher figure than to
day's . during the interval. On the
other hand, rediscounts were reduced
$67,000,000 from their total of the
week before, such loans on other
than government collateral reaching
the smallest aggregate since Decem
ber 19, 1919. Outstanding note cir
culation decreased $39,000,000 further,
though not getting back to the low
level of last November. It is these
two items which will determine the
movement of the season.
Honey Rate Lower.
Money rates went lower. Wednesday's
lowest and closing price of 4 per cent for
call loans being today's minimum and
time loans on collateral or merchants
paper holding at, 6 per cent. With In
vestment bonds the great activity and
very wide distribution of transactions in
dicated largo buying for Investors, as
well as. large selling by previous holders.
But the result was again an uncertain
movement of prices, generally towards a
slightly lower level. There were again
rather numerous exceptions, however, and
the United States war loans wero distinct
ly strong. .
The stock market's weakness reflected
again the attitude of speculators who bad
bought InSustrlal stocks last month, ap
parently on the theory that the publlo
would take them over at top prices in
January. Naturally reduction of price
for. the product of oil companies favored
by the speculators and reduction of ono
or two dividends of motor companies have
not helped this process. Shares of rail
way companies went franlically lower, al
though compilations of November earnings
Indicated a total net revenue 817,000,000
to f20.000.000 greater than the fSO.OOO.OOO
forecast of the railway executives last
month.
Suffers Reaction.
But December will hardly do as well,
If one may Judge either from the weekly
"car loadings" or from the gross earn
ings tor such companies ss males weekly
reports, both of which show that railway
traffic and -revenue suffered much the
same reaction from November as did in
dustrial activity in general.
The weekly French and English bank
returns wero colored by the traditional
end of the year transactions. The Bank
of England's loans Increased d8.600.OOO
pounds, fairly divided between the govern
ment which had coupons to pay in ad.
vane of revenue collections, and the pri
vate banks which had the January settle
ments to finance and their own semian
nual reports to put in order. That tho'
resultant expansion ot liabilities should
have carried tho reserve ratio from lS'i
down to 11 per cent (the lowest since
January 12. last year) need therefor
cause no surprise. In the whole of last

January, the ratio rose from 7 per cent
to 14.
In the French market th settlement
week brought f34. 000.000 increase In paper
circulation, an unusually large amount,
but a familiar incident of th period.
Even this large increase, however, left
tha total outstanding paper less by 2,200.
000 francs than at Its maximum of 1920
and the cabled statement that the govern
ment has this week repaid 450,000.000
francs ot Its debt to the bank shows what
the next drift ot the note circulation is
likely to be.
