Chicago, pec, 11.—All deliveries of
wheat and oats as well as December
corn sold at new high figures for the
season, and while the markets were
called upon to absorb an immense
amount of profittaking, the under
tone was strong. At the last wheat
was ?s lower to "a c higher, the latter
on July. Corn was >/gc higher to 14c
lower. Oats, higher and rye
lie lower to 'go higher.
Buying of wheat w;is of excellent
class and in the May was headed by
commission houses with eastern con
nections that have been persistent
buyers of late. The uly is attracting
more attention and was taken freely
throughout the day. the forecast for
fair and colder weather over the
southwest where the crop is without
snow protection, being a big factor.
Selling was largely in the way of
profit-taking.
Export I>oi»»»ui«J Hlou .
Export demand was rather slow, al
though around 90.000 bushda har»l wtn
t «rt was said to have been taken at tho
gulf for near east relief purposes. Routine
developments hav little effect at the
V resent tint*' and sr aliment on the whole
\:s decidedly bullish, with a marked
broadening In tho general speculative
trading. Receipts, 7-’ cars, with pre
miums about unchanged.
December corn acted tight at tho start
:ui*l shot up to 73*^0 on scattered buy
ing that found little for sal'*. Later long
grain came out free and a reaction fol
lowed, but tho trade generally believe
that there is a large outstanding Interest
• lid tho disposition is to get out of the
December aw fawt aw posi-ible. Deferred
deliveries had a range of less than !e.
profit taking being in evidence early, but
ou tho breaks there was aggressive sup
port. Country offerings were somewhat
more liberal. Receipts of s^o cars were,
the largest in weeks, but due mainly to
country dealers filling contracts for ship
ment by December 15.
On If* Higher at < lose.
A buying order for December oats
which came in the lust few minutes of
trailing carried that delivery up very
sharply, and there were selling orders in
the pit well under 46V*c. which was the
final price. Houses with northwestern
and. Omaha connections were good sellers
of the May. while at Minneapolis rash
houses bought May freely. Receipts, 278
cart.
Houses with eastern connections were
persistent buyers of May rye, and while
tliero wan .1 dip at one time in sympathy
with wheat-, the undertone van strong.
Export sales nf around 1.500.000 bushels
were reported as having been made to
Germany in the past 10 day The two
northwestern markets had 165 cars.
Fit Note*.
The gram markets have all the appear
ances of go/ng higher.
Temporary reaction* are to be expected
from time to time, but the trend Is re
garded as higher. Bongs take profits on
bulges and buy their grain bark on
breaks so that the markets are riot con
gested. on either side, us was tho case
today.
All Indications point to speedy enact
ment of legislation for assisting the
farmers In this country and consumers
abroad through the extension of crefills.
Tha Gould plan f«»r exporting our surplus
calls for a fund of $250,000,000, for ex
tenting foreign credits six to nine months
wae u big factor. Barney Baruch, In an
undress at tho Farm Bureau federation
her© today, said that had the credit plan
been existent early this season grains
would not have sold as low as tin y did
and price* now would be much higher.
The farm bloc has a great deal of power
and ar« regarded us strong enough to
pass nil the credit bills, as the Harding
administration is with them.
There was a grout deal of selling of
ce-n ami oats by the largest commission
houi os on the bulge and free absorption
of the offerings on tho breaks, in all a
good-siz'd trade was <*n. At thins it was
hard to buy or sell without affecting
values.
December oats are working higher.
Buying of 150,000 bushel* a* the lust
advanced the price to 40 He. tho beet of
I he season. Contract stocks here are
*31,000 bushels In public houses, an In
crease of 166,000 bushels la.-t. week.
If there is to be an advance in grain
prices by the extension of foreign credit-,
rye specialists say that grain should
show more strength than wheat. It is
figured that with lake uaMgatjon closed,
Chicago is now on a basis where It. can
compete with Canada on au all.rail basis.

Cattle—Receipts, 11,500 head The early
trading was very slow with both packers
ami shippers paying steady prices for the
choice offerings and bidding 10# 16c lower
on the plain and warmed up cattle. Un

aside from the beat grades trend of values
v aa unmistakably lower as far as beef
ste«rs and butcher cows were concerned.
Demand for Stockers and feeders was
broad and the limited offering* of this

NEW YORK TIMES.
Omaha Bee Leased fl Ira.
New York. Dec. 11 —Foreign ex
change Indisputably held the center t>f
the financial stage today. Sterling
again led the market, advancing 2'ic
to a rate of Jl.fiSls. which was 6Nc
above that of a week ago, 13*sc above
the quotation of the day when the in
terest payment to our treasury was
completed iti November, and 227ic
above the rate which was leached in
tho last days of September. This is
actually a more rapid advance than
has been scored at any time since
the violent upward movement at this
time last year. A further rise, only
-to greater than that of the last 1"
weeks, would bring the sterling rate
back to par of exchange. No one ex
pects such a result to be achieved
just yet.
It is not easy to doubt that the ex
ceedingly rapid rise of the past few
days has been connected with the
London conference on reparations.
United Mates Bonds Advance.
On the Stock Exchange the continuing
advance of United States bonds was
again the incident of the day. The
new 4Us and moat of the older Liberty
bonds sold a fuii point above their very
recent low prices of the season. fit her
bonds held firm as a rule, though not
changing greatly in price.
Tiie day s stock market hardly deserves
notice. Its narrow, purposeless and con
flicting movements appeared to Indicate
nothing more than tho activities of small
speculators pushing against one another.
Financial Topic*.
Reports were again In circulation that
the merger of several smaller oil com
P riles with the F'roducern ami Refiner?
corporation is about completed. repre
sentatives of Blair &■ Co. said they could
neither confirm nor deny the report. One
member of the firm said that all that can
bo made public at this time la “that no
contracts for any merger have been closed,
up to this time." Despite the fact that.
Wall street named four companies as
being interested in the deal, tho bankers
would not say whether the concern? men
tioned wi>r« the ones which Producers
and Refiners would take over.
It was reported In executive quartets,
which are close to Washington that the
merger of the packing companies con
trolled by the Armour-Morris interests
will not be countenanced by the govern
ment. One explanation of this situation
was that the merger of these concerns
would react most unfavorably on tho agri
cultural communities, in the opinion of
the governmental officials, and that the
knowledge of this condition was said to
have led to a decision against the con
solidation.
Local bankers are understood to be
going over tho financial statements of
four fairly prominent oil companies,
the purpose In mind being the consolida
tion of tho corporations into one large
combination. Tho feur companies under
stood to bo Interested in the combination
are tho Union Oil company of California,
tho Pure Oil company, the Transconti
nental Oil corporation and the Arkansas
Natural Gas company. of the concerns
mentioned, th*» Union Oil company of
California la in the stronger position. Ac
cording to tho information, the price at
which the stocks of the Transcontinental
Oil and Arkansas Natural Gas company
v ill be taken into the combination have
been agreed upon, but the hitch lies In the
price at which F'ure Oil stock will be
taken.
