By CHARLES D. MICHAELS.
Omaha lie. leasee W Ire.
Chiiago, Jan. 18. Sensationally
bullish (mures n farm reserves of
wheat in the United States and a Dc
partineiit of Agriculture report in-ilii-ating-
that llurnpe must buy Intge
o.iiaittiii of grain in the world's
market brought in a liberal run of
buying- orders for futures.
At no time were prices as low as
the previous day's finish. The day's
clubC was within He of the top, with
net yains of 2c. Com was rather
dull, but gained K-f" 5ilc, w hile oats
were tip JJc and rye I fie.
(.'oinuiission bouses and local trad
ers were on the buying side from the
start, r Offerings were light until
May touched 5?1.1.1. At that fig
tire, there was free selling ort resting
orders. These checked the advance,
but the buying continued, the offer
ings finally were absorbed, and later
there were sonic stop loss orders un
covered. The reaction from the high
point was due to scattered realizing.
" Wheat Shortage Indicated.
Ooodhuea report on farm reserve
showed llO.OOO.ono bushels after allowing
for spring wheat eed, which, with the
vialble aupply, suggested that under nor
mal condition there would Scarcely be
sufficient wheat lo g around, The De
partment of Agricultural' foreign cable
indicated that Oermany, the United Klng
noin. France, Austria and other countries
would have lo buy a great deal of wheat
and rye, despite., larger crop than last
year.
Sentiment generally has become much
more bullish and more nttontlon was
paid to laetors which have been Ignored
for some time. Cold weather, without
snow protection, ha overspread the
southwest. H led to fear of crop dam
age. 'J'ho'e were numerous rumors of large
export business In Munitobas, but, in gen
eral, they represented a reiteration of
sales previously reported. Milling de
mand was fair, with premiums on choice
at Minneapolis. There dark No, 1 north
ern old at 24b over May.
Local- tales wer 15,000 bushels. Re
ceipts 13 cars. The trade art looking
for a fair ilecreaso in the visible supply
thlsweek. Minneapolis and Kansas City
stock have been reduced 462,000 bushels
o far tli ib week. ,
Export Demand Brisk.
Export demand for casn corn continues
brl."k . and . the seaboard bought S35.OO0
bushels here. There sales of 176.000 bush
els made for January delivery at 4 7 Tit
M8V4Cj with S0.0O0 bushels sold to go to
store. Tho greater part of tha strength
in corn futures was derived from sym
pathy with wheat. Outside "interest con
tinues light. Country offering vers only
fair and In Dottle sections of the belt it
will take an advance of 2o per bushel (0
start farmers to telling. Receipts, COS
cara.
Oats showed a. strong untleitone from
the start and with the Cloment Curlla
& Co. end Bartlett Fraaler reports show
ing light reserves .on farms, an advance,
wss easily attained. Shipping soles were
115,000 bushels with receipts 100 care.
Buying hy eastern Interests and tha
strength In wheat was responsible iot a
high range In rye, Foreign demand ws
reported as good but no tales were
claimed.
Pit Note.
Goodman of Clement Curtis estimates
farm reserves of wheat 140,000,000 busll
erls, against tho government estimate of
207,000,000 bushels March 1 a year ago.
Tho amount for sale from the farms i
110.000,000 bushels,' against 170,000,000
bushels a year ngo. This comparison
with' dote six weeks later fc year ago
was regarded as bullish. Oat reserve on
the farms were placed at 463.00,000 bush
els, against 69O.000.000 bushels a year
ago. The marketable surplus of Ost Ws
placed at 400.000.000 bushels, or 230,000,
00 bushels less than a year ago,
Minneapolis wired Bennett: "One large
mill has started up J wo unit and la now
running about 76 per cent capacity.'
December oxporta of wheat and flour
were 15.14.000 bushels, against 80,185,000
bushel a year ago. Corn exports for the
month were 10,243,000 bushels against
S, 041, 000 bushel a year ago.
Argentine wheat shipment wer a lit
tle larger for the week, and the volume
of shipments from that country the next
few weeks will go far toward determin
ing world's wheat prices.
Zero temperatures prevailed over many
parts of the winter wheat territory and
theve Is little snow covering.
Export sales of 2,000,000 bushels to
2,500,000 bushels, of which ahout half was
credited to- Greece In filial filling of an
order- which has been reported two or
three times this week, and tho rmalnder
to the continent, presumably to southern
Europe. Winnipeg message to local
houses said the principal demand at their
market was against export sale, With
the small receipts the taking off of hedges
against export sales Is a big factor in
present narrout) state of the market.
Washington advices said that foreign
reports indicated there would bi heavy
purchases of food stuffs necessary for
Europe and that It was estimated that
Germany alono would have to buy around
76,000,000 bushels of wheat and ryt,

4maha He l4aei n rr.
New York. Jan. 1'). Although re
discount rate at the federal reserve
had been left unchanged this week,
today's weekly statement indicated
that further reduction may not be
long postponed. The system's ratio
of reserve to liabilities rose nearly 5
per cent during the week, to the
highest figure reached since the
United Slates declared war cmi Ger
many in IVI7. The New York re
serve bank's rediscount rate was at
that time JJ, per cent, against the
present A'A, a fact which it. not itself
a conclusive argument for reduction
now, but which bears on the ques
tion. The past week's reduction of
$199,000,000 In the system's redis
counts and of $I75,000,(XK) in its note
circulation makes possible soaic very
extraordinary comparisons. Kedis
cotinted paper, amounting now to
$913,000,000, or the lowest since the
spring of 1918, marks a decrease of
no less than two-thirds from the
$2,826,000,000 maximum of Novem
ber 5, 1920. Outstanding federal re
serve notes have been cut down
3454 per cent from the high record
reached in December of that year.
Expansion Certain.
No doubt thie all reflects the scop ot
trade reaction! rediscounts at any rote,
are certain to expand when buslne re
vives. One matter of present importance
i the unquestlonsblo fact that th pres
ent continuing and eitremely rapid reduc
tion ot the syalem't loan result from
legitimate request for credit running
for short of the readily available supply.
Such a condition could not be changed by
the appointment to the federal reserve
board of a 'dirt farmer" even if supple
mented by 4 dry gooda salesman, an iron
manufacturer and an exporter ot mer
chandiso to South America.
The reserve banks make their own
loans: they are In a posilton to InorcaHe
such loans If qualified paper wer pre
sented and one-third of the board of ill
rector of every federal reservo bank 1
required by the law to be "actively en
gaged" Id ''commerce, agriculture, or other
tnduetrlkl pursuit" of the district.
Stork Decline.
But ft congressmen with a gosd. of the.
"agricultural bloc" at his back, might
poHslbly not bo expected to let such, con
sideration Influence his vote.
Taking th stock market as a whole.
It was evident that the speculator who
bought stocks Wednesday sold them
today. With th natural result of a de
cline In the Speculative share which bad
advanced the day before. Railway stocks
declined with the others and with as lit
tle relation to anything in tha news. An
other momentary rlBe in call money rates
to 6 per cent appeared to effect another
stage of doubt by outsido banks as to
whether they could place their surplus
balances more ediantageously t home or
on the New York stock exchange.
The foreign exchange market hardly
moved.,

New York. Jan. 19. An Improved tone

bullish National Uinners' association state

A Sifriiflcant Invitation.

mouth and thin were strongly cut,

Me seemed more at home with
men than with women. During din
ner he addreuej mo.t of hi conver
sation to Arthur Delay, and it was
cruelly about buine, but from
time to time Ninette found hit eyes
rtitlng upon her, and always with
cunoui intent expression them.
After dinner. In the drawiig room,
Dorothy Manveri was full of him.
"Hc'a not a beauty, Margaret,
darling. Hut with all that money
well, I think I could rut up with
his ugly face."
"I don't think lie's so ugly." Ni
nette said calmly. "He rather inter
etta me."
"You rather interest him, too, by
the way he kept looking at you,"

wonder what it it about you that all
the men like, liven my Arthur, who
1 1 n't a bit of woman's man, is quite
taken with you, I know.
"You're just flattering me," she
said painfully. "How- can they like
me? I'm not a bit good-looking, I'm
never well dressCd, 1 haven't got any
money."
"Oh, money!" Margaret said with
fine contempt. "You think far too
much of money, Ninette. 1 shall have
to be really cross with you about it."
"Jt's because I've never had any,"
Ninette said simply. "Perhaps if I'd
got as much as I could spend I
shouldn't want it all"
"And here come the men! Gracious
they haven't been longl" Margaret
said. Dorothy hastily rearranged
her position on the couch, and Mar
garet patted her hair self-conscious
ly. Only Ninette sat on tier (avorite
fool-tool by the fire without mov
ing, her hands clasped round her
knres.
The three men came into the
room together Dick Fclsted talking
19 to the dozen, and laughing boy
ishly; Arthur Delay smoking an ex
pensive cigar, and looking very im
maculate in his dining jacket, and the
tall, thin Billionaire, his grim face
unsmiling and his eyes a little bored
in expression till they rested on Nin
ette. Then his whole face seemed
to change; he squared his shoulders
and walked over to where she sat.
"Do you play?" he asked the ques
tion abruptly, and all the room heard
it.
Ninette shook her head.
"No. I'm sorry."
"Do you sing?"
She shook her head again.
"No. I'm afraid I haven't any ac
complishments like that.
She spoke rather nervously; she
looked across at Dorothy.
"Miss Manvers sings." she said.
Cavanagh seemed not to hear. He
went on m the same abrupt way,
"Then if you have no accomplish
ments with which to amuse the com
pany, will you come and talk to mc
tor a little while f
Ninette stared up at him for a mo
mcnt with blank eyes; then she rcse
slowly Jrom the stoou
"Why, yes, if you want inc," she
6aid uncertainly.
The little silence which had fallen
on the room was broken. Dick Fel'
sted plunged haphazardly into some
story he had heard that dav. and
Margaret took tip her needlework
again.
Only Dorothy Manvers eves nar
rowed a little, and she bit her lip
angrily as she looked across the
room to where Ninette and the tall
guant inan sat together in the win
dow.
"I hate her I hate herl" was the
bitter thought in her heart.
When Ninette was undressing for
bed that night, Margaret Delay came
knocking at her rfoor.
There h:d been no time for any
conversation between the two girls
all the evening, and Margaret's eyes
were bright and curious as she en
tered the room. 1
"Well, now tell me about it I" she
said. .
ane naa taken ott her evening
frock, and wore a loose pink wrap
per tnat -made tier lock particularly
young: and attractive, and Ninette's
eyes wandered over it before she an
swered.
"Tell you all about what?"
Margaret raised her brows.
"Why, what he said to you, of
course 1 My dear, you've made the
conquest of the man. We heard he
was a woman hater that he would
never speak to a woman under 60 if
he could help it, and here he has
spent the whole eveniig with vou!
We all noticed it, of course. Arthur
was quite' cross about it, poor dear!
He said he thought it was bad thaste
of Cavanagh damned bad taste was
really what he said!" she added,
laughing. "How silly, isn't it? As if
anyone minds being made conspic-
ttlttlta Uritlt. t-fl 1 1 j-i .1 n ira I"
MVLIO TTIIH 4?l liUlllVIJail t i
Ninette flushed a little.
"But he didn't say anything that
anybody could not have!" she nro-
tested. "He asked me if I had ever
been abroad, and where I lived, and
If I had any sisters or brothers, and
oh, a lot of questions like that!" she
laughed. "I didn't see what business
it was of his."
Margaret looked frankly disap
pointed. "But, my dear, he's so rich T she
protested. Shejgot up and shut the
door carefully;he had left it half
open when she came in. "Dorothy
was ready to scratch your eyes cut,
you know!" she confided, lowering
her voice.
"How silly 1" Ninette said con
temptuously. "She can have him if
she likes. I'm sure I don't care!"
She went on brushing her thick,
dark hair, but the flush lingered in
h.r cheeks, and her eyes were very
bright. - ,
Margaret watched her interested
ly; she could never quite make out
in what way Ninette attracted men,
but it was an indisputable fact that
she did so.
"And poor old Dicky was green
with jealousy, she went on, after a
moment. "And all the time he need
not have been. Ninette, didn't he
really say anything interesting to
you? Mr. Cavanagh, I mean?"
Ninette laughed, and turned
round from the mirror.

representation at the annual conven
