Chicago, Dec. 1.3.—Influenced by a
fresh upturn in sterling exchange, the
wheat market here averaged higher
today during the early dealings. All
deliveries touched a new high price

of snow or rain for the entire domes
tic grain belt. Opening quotations,

with May. $1,211-2 to 1.22 and July.
1.12 1-2 to 1.12 3-4, were followed by
moderate further gains.

broad scale developed, and the mnr
ket showed power to rally quickly
from minor reactions due to profit
taking on the part of holders. The
close was unsettled, l%c'to 2%c net
higher with May, $1.23% to $1.23%
and July, $1.14% to $1.14%.

NEW YORK TIMES
Omaha Bee Leittd Wire.
New York. Dec. 13.—The advance
in foreign exchange once more over
shadowed nil other financial move
ments, and although in the later hours
sterling sold down 5‘3ic from the day's
highest rate, that did not occur until
after a f.sc of nearly 6 cents from
Tuesday's closing and of 12 cents from
last week’s final pr©e.
The point of interest was therefore
still the advance rather than the re
action. That the advance should have
received a definite check for the first
time since it got well under way at the
opening of this month, was neverthe
less a matter of interest. This may
he explainable merely by heavy real
izing sales of hills bought at lower
prices for speculation, or it may have
indicated that the mysterious "spe
cial operation” at which the London
market has been hinting was com
pleted.
lombard Street in Bark.
London has not been obliging enough to
give particulars, but Lombard Street has
really seemed to be as much In the dark
as Wall street, the last named authority,
having, in fact, given way to some rather
wild conjectures, such as » hug- British
government loan secretly negotiated here
or a program by the Bunar Law ministry
to push sterling back to parity by brute
force.
Proceeds of some of our foreign loans of
eight or nine months ago may have
been partly "ear marked” for payment of
London indebtedness by the borrowers. Any
such transactions, however, would fall
short of explaining the recent extraordi
nary rise In sterling uqder the other
seemingly unpropit ious influences which
prevailed, and the market is likely enough
to rest on the belief that the steady en
hancement of England's International
credit is the real secret after all.
European exchanges arose with sterling;
Amster*rtm went practically to par. Stock
holm returned to the season's highest pre
mium. and Paris reached the best rate in
three weeks. The German mark was
again unmoved.
•hi the whole, today's stock market
showed signs of strength. The highest
prl, os of tho day wero not, in most cases
maintained up to the close, and there
were some net losses. But the tendency
of prices seemed to be at least towards
increasing firmness. Bunas moved less
distinctly than on other recent davs and
changes w’ere irregular.
Financial Topics.
New York Central's shares sold lower,
following the announcement that the di
rectors had declared only the regular
dividend, Instead of putting th*- stork on
a 6 per cent annual basis, as had been re
ported in Wall street?
The progress of the railroads in han
dling tli» movement of coal following tho
termination of the strike was indicated
in a survey by the American Hallway asso
ciation This showed that the average
daily loadings of the first week of Decem
ber. 1922, were 6.414 car3, as compared
with an average dally loading for the
month of Decembef last year amounting
to 4.726 cars. In November. 1 920, the a\
erage dally loadings were 5.447 cars, as
compare^ with an average loading of
5.919 cars for November, thia year.

j New York Bonds
I New York. Dec. 13.—Bond prices gen
erally showed a firm tone in today's re
lative light dealings. United Kingdom
l&Vis of 1920 climbed Is* points to 115. ,
a new Jiigh record, in the early dealings
in sympathy with the further sharp rise
in sterling exchange, but they canceled
their gain later when the sterling rate
dropped to slightly above Tuesday’s close. |
Mexican 4s ami Jurgen 6s were also
strong during the morning, but yielded :
somewhat lat**r.
United States government issues were
irregular, the second 4s and the first 4V4» j
each gaining 20c on $100 and the uncalled ;
victory 4*4k 4c, while the other active
issues registered losses of 4 tp 8 c. There
was an appreciable lessening of demand 1
for these issues.
Marked strength of most of the* Erie
issues was the feature of the railroad
group, gains of l to 1*% points being
registered by the consolidated 4s ami the
A. B and D series of the convertible 4s.
Other strong spots were Minneapolis.St.
liouis refunding 4s. Iowa Central re
funding 4s and St. Paul 4 Vis. with New ,
Haven 3V*s of 1954 off 2 points, the only i
conspicuous weak spot.
In the Industrial and public utility I
groups there was a fairly good demand
for Cuba Cane 8s, Hush Terminal Build
ing 5s. Maryland Oil 8s. with warrants.
American Telephone convertible 4s and •
Third avenue refunding 4s. all up 1 to
nearly 2 points. Cerro de Pasco 8s lost ,
nearly 2 points on profit-taking but re
duced the loss to \ at the close. K«- ,
public Steel 6s also were heavy.
Total sales, par value, were $13,337,000.
There were no large bond offerings put j
out, although maiked Interest was ex
hibited In the $500,000, f> per cent issue
of the Municipality of Bayamon, Porto >
Rico, which was sold to yield from 4 fiO
to 4 65 per cent. Announcement also wan j
made that a local syndicate! headed by |
the Chase Securities company was the
successful bidder for the $13,000,000
