Market, Financial and Industrial News of the Day
Financial j Omaha Grain
By ALEXANDER DANA NOYES.
Omaha Utmmtd W ir,,
Xew York, Feb. 16 In several
reipccts today was interesting (or
the financial markets. The present
year's first ofticial signal of con
tinued reduction in the cost of money
was sounded by the Bank of Eng
land. The weekly statements of our
federal reserve showed the rise in re
serve percentage to have been re
sumed, for the first time in nearly a
month. While the cotton market
reacted downward, grain markets
went to a still higher level; wheat
in particular, at $1.424 Pcr bushel,
reaching the best price quoted at any
time on the present crop.
The Bank of England's reduction
of its rate to 4j per cent has the
interest which arises from actual re
turn to a prewar quotation. The 5
per cent maintained since last No
vember and until today was the rate
which prevailed during most of the
war in the whole of 1915 and 1918.
for instance but no 'rate as low as
4'4 has been fixed since July 30,
1914. That rate' was quoted at the
bank in such normal years as 1909,
1910 and 1911, when 5 per cent
would have been considered a tight
money signal.
Cannot Ward Off Pungor.
It n pretty well known that both bank
and itovernment at London have reached
th. rnniintnn -tfcut In tha existing fleiiree-1
alon of trade there la no dancer to bej
warded ort Dy a ntun nan w nu -definite
chanca of helping inauere by a
low one.
Insofar . the lowering of the L.niann .
bank rate caused aurprlae. It wan probably
because in the three prevlou reductions
the Hank of England nan ronoweo i
lead of the New York reserve bank. In
the first reduction from the T Pur cent
rate of last ipdns, bowaver, London took
Ktinn full wk before New York. The
equel may possibly be almllar on thl oc-i
raalon, though open market money ri'caj
on Wall street are "till tar aoove i"e
current London quotations nd ere, In
fact, even with merchants' paper, at
present above the Msejva bank redis
count rate. ... . .
Movement Incertuin.
Tha day'a uncertain movement on the
atock exchange ned to indicate nothing
except the shifting- attitude of half a
doaen professional "pools," some of wn'rh
were bidding up their own stocks, whllo
others were evidently trying to realize
speculative profits.
Purine; part of the flay the railway
haree displayed very considerable strength
and although moat of the early advance
was lost before the close, 'here was at
leaat some ground for increased eneerful
ness in the weekly report on Ireleht 1;J
for transportation. The iigures of the
first week in February repeated rather
emphatically the Improvement of the four
preceding -weeks; number of cara loa(lel
not onlv reaching the largest total elnoo
the middle of November, but running 5-.-000
above the c.orresnondlng woek In
and 61.000 above 1919.

By CHARLES D. MICHAELS.
Omalia Ilea Leuari! H ire.
Chicago, Feb. 16. Longs in all
grains were heavy sellers for profit,
today, following an early advance to
a new high for July wheat and all
deliveries of corn. Selling of wheat '
was headed by houses with eastern
connections. While there was a fair
rally from the inside prices, net Iofscs
were 6i.Hc on wheat, J(!4c on
oats and 1(o2kC 011 rvc while com
was strong and closed unchanged to
?4c higher.
An advance of 3lif.3-)H in Liver
pool was responsible for the early
buying. That carried May up l;4c
to $1.42J4, equaling the outside figure
on the crop, while July touched
$1.24. There was a general hesi
tancy on the part of the pit element
to follow the advance. Strong coin
mission houses were active sellers,
especially above $1.42 for May. The
outside demand was not stiffi.-ic"tly
broad to absorb the offerings. A
break of iti4c from the high
followed, many stop loss orders be
ing caught on the way down, al
though the greater part of them were
simply to prevent profits getting
away.
- Dullish News Ignored.
Strength in foreign markets and bullish
news of all kinds were Ignored after
prices started downward, a heavily ovdr
bcught condition being disclosed. There
was nothing In the situation except the
technical position to cause bulls any
uneasiness. Sentiment remains decidedly
favorable to a higher range.
Drouth continues In the southwest and
with the advent of growing weather, a
flood of crop complaints is expected from
that section. The trade already shows
a tendency to get out of the May and
into the July. Cash wheat was slow
and unchanged to 6c lower here, as com
pared with the May. Export demand
was in evidence for Manitnbas, with sales
of 450,000 bushels, and Russia will buy
600,000 bushels Canadian seed wheat Sat
urday, while Portugal cancelled 600,000
tushels at the seaboard. Receipts con
tinue to be liberal, materially In excess
of last year.
Corn Averages Higher.
Corn showed stubborn resistance to
selling pressure throughout tha day and
averaged higher, despite the break in
wheat, although the decline In the lat
ter carried prices off 11c from
the early high. At that point all deliv.
eries were in new ground for the season.
Some of the local bulls sold out on the
early advance and reinstated on the de
cline, helping to make the closing ad
vance. Purchases of 12,500 ton3 of corn
grits for Russian relief with 26.000 tons
more to be bought tomorrow, equal to
2,000,000 bushels of grain all told, had
some effect. Export tmlcs at the sea
board aggregated 200,000 bushels.
Cash and commission houses sold oats
freely and an early advance with corn
was lost later. Shipping demand only
fair.
A letup In the seaboard demand and
the break in other grains bad a depress
ing effect on rye. Seaboard bids were re
duced c, with a small lot sold from
an outside market.
Pit Uotes,
Russell's of New York wired: "Small
wheat sales made. United Kingdom de
mand slow. Portugal cancelled 600,000
bushels wheat, Russian relief will tuy
600.000 bushels wheat tomorrow and Is
asking for 25,000 tons of corn grits to
morrow, and will buy 500,000 bushels seed
corn Saturday."
Minneapolis wired Stein, Alsteln ft Co
"People who have been handling winter
wheat from Kansas pay the movement
from Kansas City is letting ud sharply.
as our market is now out of line."
A Minneapolis message said: "We hear
of some further sales of Canadian whea-
lor export this morning and millers re
porting a broader Inquiry for flour if
the market will hold steady."
Message from the Pacific coast to Tom
O'Brien of Clement, Curtis & Co. says:
"Milling grades of wheat are practicall;
exhausted here and the limited stocks
are held so high now they cannot be
touched with the flour market at the
present levels"
E. W. Dennis, with Thomson and Mc
Kinnon, says: "The government report on
livestock gives almost the saniA numhe.
of horses and mules on the farms as in i
anu isii, wnue nogs are given as
67,000,000 head, against 66,000,000 in
1921."
London cable says: "Roumanian grain
exports have been prohibited pending fur.
ther returns of the quantity of cereals
available. The wheat crop In Houmanla
last year was estimated at 97,200.001
bushels, against 70,300,000 tha previous
year, and rye, 10,500,000 bushels against
ll,200,i)0o the previous vear."
