Omaha Grain
Omaha, Dec. 7,
Around the opening our grain prices
were slightly lower but good buying
was apparent on the dip and 200,000
bushels hard winter wheat was re
ported worked for export via the
gulf. Torrential rains, were reported
in Argentine which will delay the
harvesting and movement of the new
,^-op wheat In that country. Kirm
i ess of foreign exchange and a report
that Nebraska wheat fields were cov
ered with Ice, also had some affect.
Reports front the country said
farmers were not free sellers of corn
on the recent decline.
Total receipts at Omaha were 153
cars as compared witht Its oars last
year. Total shipments were 153 cars
against 119 cars a year ago.
Cash wheat was In good demand
with prices generally 2c higher on the
local exchange. Corn was steady gen- ,
erally lc up. Oats were Vitolc higher ;
being generally Vic. Rye was quoted j
2c higher and barley nominally un
t hanged.

Chicago Grain
By CHARLES 1). MICHAELS
Omaha Bee I .eased Wire.
Chicago, Dec. 7.—Torrential rains
were reported to have fallen in parts
of Argentina and delayed harvest and
damaged the quality of the new wheat
crop, hut the market, while showing
a firm undertone, ran Into free, sell
ing-around $1.17 for May and at the
last was up only over the fin
ish of the previous day. Corn was up
% $ 1 ’ i with December leading, while
oats were H higher and rye un
changed to xic higher.
Liverpool wheat prices wore %<@)
IVid lower at the opening on pros
pects of large Argentine clearances
for the week and a slow milling de
mand. hut closed strong with Decem
ber lower and the deferred fu
tures up Local traders sold
at the start bill their offerings were
absorbed by strong commission houses,
part of which was attributed to east
ern account.
Sentiment Mixed.
At $1 17 for May there was fiee selling
h> local house* and buyers were quickly
filled up. Sentiment was somewhat mixed
with a disposition shown to keep away
trom the Bull side on bulges regardless
of the news Export business was fair
and included 250.000 bushels hard winter
ftom tho gulf nt 9c over December and
St. Louis sold 65,000 bushels to golf ex
porters. (’ash premiums here were ’4
>4c higher on hard winter.
December corn acted a. little tight and
while selling even with the May early,
closed 1 *»c over that delivery Buying
throughout the day was largely of a local
•haracter, with the strength In wheat
the main Influence. Messages from Iowa
indicat'd fanners had ceased selling
where bid-' were reduced below 60c at
country loading points. Export demand
was slow. No change was shown in the
brt.-is mi spot with receipts 248 cars.
Argentina exports for the week are esti
mated ht i.400,000 bushels, against 2.485 -
000 bushels lstsf year. Italian crop is
estimated at 70.000,000 bushels, or 23,000,
000 bushels less than last year.
Oats heltl within relatively narrow
limits and In the main reflected the
action of other grains Domestic ship
ping demand remains fair. Receipts, 129 I
ca rj.
Rye showed a heavy undertone and
while there was fair buying credited to
• astern account, it was not aggressive.
Export demand continues with sales at
the seaboard estimated at 150,000 to 200,
" 0 bushels, and there were unconfirmed
i'< ports of 200.ooo bushels in addition. The
tv- •• northwestern markets received S7
cars
Pit Notes.
Higher rabies and unfavorable weather
reports are expected from Argentina Fri
day and traders here look for better prices
for a tln-^’. Whether they will hold was
dependent upon the amount of buying
developed The short Interest was reduced
on th© bulge and there was wheat on the
market from local holders at the top, most
of which was taken back on recessions
at the clot><*.
The northwest was a good buyer of
wheat futures and reported a fair milling
demand. The car situation in that emo
tion t* better, but all the railroads there
are short of motive power and cold
weather may curtail arrivals for a few
days.
Karin bureau interests and others who
are at work on a constructive plan to '
facilitate exports of grains through es
tablishing of an extensive system of long
time credits abroad say work Is progress
ing favorably and that the plan will be
ready for introduction through a bill In
congress In the near future. Foreign ex
change has been the stumbling block, but
this is being removed. Those who have
not understood th© methods of handling
th© exchange by grain exporters have had
it explained satisfactorily, which has
aided in clarifying the eltuation.
Gulf wheat sold recently at 20c over
December, when transportation was bad, j
but of late It has dropped to 9c over. St.
Leuls sold 66,000 bushels hard winter to
the gulf and 260,000 bushels were re- ,
ported as sold for export late Wednesday. 1
New York exporters said that owing to
the higher staling exchange rates bids
on wheat were on about the aarne basis
as the previous day.
Despite an easier car situation In ttre
west primary arrivals of corn for four
days this week have been 6,180,000 bush
els. against 6.793.000 bushels last year.
Wheat arrivals for four da>s aggregate
7.233.000 bushels, against 4,811,900 bush
els last year.

NEW YORK TIMES.
Omaha lies I,cawed Wire
Nev$ York, Doc. 7.—The story of the
advance in stocks, in foreign exchange
and in most of tho Liberty bonds was
repeated today, although at a slack
ened pace and with some incidental re
action. In the news of the day there
was little to stimulate either advance
or decline in financial markets; yet
the news of a routine character was
interesting. It. included the final sum
mary of railway earnings in October,
showing net results, despite the large
gross revenue, some $20,000,000 below
those of October. 1321, with a per
centage of property valuation of 4 05
as against 6.4 in the same month of
last year. TThis i^ close to the ratio
of July and August and less than
in some other months of 1322.
It was so easy to interpret, the week
ly federal reserve report. Usually
both rediscounts and note circulation
have decreased in the first weeks of
December, but in the last week the
increase of rediscounts has been $25,
000,000 and of circulation $31,000,000.
Gold Reserve Shrinks.
That the entire loan expansion was ac
counted for by tiie New York Reserve
hank and the entire addition to outstand
ing notes by other reserve banks does not
clear up the showing. It is accompanied
by a decrease for the week of $27,000,000
In the system's gold reserve. making
shrinkage of $44,000,000 (luring the eight
weeks since the maximum was readied
on October 11. Since the gold exports to
Canada in this period have been more
than offset by gold imports and new
production, this decrease means gold cer
tificates put into general circulation. The
decrease, hqvvever, still leaves an aggre
gate surplus reserve of nearly 100 per
cent in the federal banks.
On i he Stock Exchange there were both
net ed .'Slice< and net declines today, but
the advam • s were considerablj in the
majoiity and some of them ran to a point
or more.
In the day's further advance of all
European exchange rates, sterling went
to $4.67%. as against a previous high
level, reached th** day before, of $4.66 34.
The Stockholm rate touched 27c again
(par being 26%), and the Amsterdam
rate, at 39.93c, went beyond the season's
previous highest; discount from the par
ity of 40 %c being no greater than used
to be reached in a normal prewar autumn.
Wall Street Topics.
Details of the Interstate Commerce
commission's approval of the reorganiza
tion plan of the Missouri, Kansas A- Texas
railroad, as issued in Wall street, showed
the commission acting in a new role in
the exercise of its authority over railroad
financing.
The interesting feature to the financial
community was the agreement which the
commission exacted from the reorganiza
tion manager* to permit«their compensa
tion and fees of their counsel to be finally
determined ty a federal or atate court
or by the commission. The commission'*
survey of the rase shows that the pro„
posed compensation of the reorganization
managers and fee of their f#>unsel aggre
gate approximately $2,36i.24!>
A peculiar movement in the St. Louis.
San Francisco adjustment 6s. in which a
decline of 3 points \v*jj made in a few
minutes, attracted a great deal of at
t.ntiou In the bond market, particularly
because of tin* fact that th« interest is be
ing paid regularly on the bonds and that
another ‘Interest djelara t ton date'' is
not due until February. The 6if opened at
75, sold up to 7b and then dropped to
73, closing at 73%. At tho same time,
the income 6s were firm. The most rea
sonable explanation found in the financial
district for the decline wag that it Wax
“tax selling’’ for an estate.
Wall Street stood ready to applaud the
proposals of ^Secretary of the Treasury
Mellon that *$iere be a readjustment in
the surtax, but the applause wii with
the reservation that such readjustments
would be a splendid thing for business,
could congress be brought to see Mellon'^,
way of thinking. The reservations to
such applause a* wu given the suggestions
or proposal* were made tftause of the
knowledge that any corporate tax read
justment* are *ure to moot bitter and
stubborn resistance by certain elements
in congress.

effect <111 late trading and closing prices
