OnmHu li e 1 t 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. CHICAGO CLOSING mil BS. By Updike Oraln Co. DO. 2627. Dec. 11.

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.
