_MARKET, FINANCIAL AND INDUSTRIAL NEWS OF THE DAY (Quarter Million of Federal Loans Paid by Farmers Over Half of #11.800,000 Brought to Nebraska by War Finanre Corporation Paid Off by Borrowers. Nebraska farmers paid off $J60,000 In War Finance corporation loans In the first five days of December. Of a total of $11,800,080 brought Into the state by the War Finance corporation, all etcept $$.800,000 has boon re turned. Some complaint Is heard in the country that this Immense amount of credit has thus disappeared. This Is the season of the year when the coun try demand for money Is especially keen, and there is more cattle feeding in soma sections than ever before. Farmers are reported in be looking forward with intense Interest to the progress of rural credit legislation in ccngress. Conditions Are Better. ‘‘The War Finance corporation was astablished as an emergency agency,” said F. W. Thomas, director of the local agency, yesterday. "The farm ers are in much better condition now than a year ago, when this new money was brought Into the state to save them from lwavy Ipse. If a similar condition should threaten again, the corporation will be as ac tive as ever in providing credit.” Although the local agency stands ready to make new advances, there are hardly any applications forwarded from the countrv banks. Last year, 800 Nebraska banks had paper redis counted with the War Finance cor poration, now omy 228 are making use of the privil'aes. Some farmers claim inetancea in which products are beina forced en the market for lack •f credit to hold them. Yet, only one new loan has been put through the War Finance corporation this week. There have been a good many re newals, however. Tirn Tear*’ Credit. The loan* were made for a aix months’ period, with the privilege of renewal for a total »of three years. However, when the farm products, »uch aa coni, hog* or cattle, on which loam ware based, are sold, the notes are sdHeoted. In the case of yearling Steers, three yeara la necessary to ma ture them for market. ‘'It a farmer holds hia products fbr three years the War Finance cor poration will carry him,'' John M. Flanntgan, executive secretary, ex plains. "However, as an emergency Institution, we are not allowed to pro vide capital Investments Not a pound of corn, nor a hog, nor a steer or cow need be sent to market ahead of Its ttme. for the War Fi nance corporation Is not pressing for payment. But. when the product* are sent to market, and the money received, the loan must he paid off. for the security is gone. If a farmer wishe* to put through a new loan on similar security, we are open for business. We are organized for the orderly marketing of farm products.” Cattle Feeding Heavy. There are said to be 30,000- head of eattle on feed around Wausa. Neb. The feeders have used up aJl tbetr own corn and are forced to buy more, and there is said to be a heavy local demand for credit in that locality. The high price of corn, which bene fits one clase of farmers, thus is embarrassing another set. Corn which sold a year ago at from 17 to 22 cents at country points la now sought at from 90 to 79 cents for feeding pur poses. without being shipped to ter minal market. If these feeders are not able to obtain loans, some of the cattle will lia\a to bo sent to mar ket before they are finished. The regulations of ^he War Finance corporation regarding security are strict, and those farmers whose as sets ore deeply involved may not ob tain further credit. When cattle are unmortgaged, loans may be obtained for buying corn, but otherwise there ts reported to be difficulty. Dud’* title Review. New Tork.

Dec. 15, 1922. Today's early session in grain fol lowed pretty close the same trend as during the past several days. On the setbacks a good class of commission house buying absorbed the offerings And put values on the upgrade again. The bill Introduced In congress to ap propriate a large sum of money to buy foodstuffs in this country to feed to poor of Germany and Austria had a bullish effect. Total receipts at Omaha wero 127 cars, against 154 cars last year. Ship ments aggregated 140 cars of all kinds of grain as compared with 154 cars a yea r ago. A very good demand was in evidence in all grains on the Omaha exchange, wheat selling generally a cent higher than yesterday. Corn was strong at unchanged to He higher.

There was a marked letup in the out side buying however, and the market acted strained with some of the local traders inclined to take a bearish position on the July. Males In Omahn. Bulges met with increased pressure and toward the last reports that 2oo,U00 bush els cash wheat had been sold from Oma ha to come here led to general selling, and a break to the lowest figures of the day. Under $1.23 for May. an excellent class of buying developed which checked the decline. Export demand, slow and mainly for Manltobas. Liverpool closed unchanged to Vjd higher on tho unfavor able Argentine weather. Long December coin came out freely throughout the day and while the deferred deliveries showed independent strength at times, due to buying by local bulls, tho market eased off rather sharply toward tho lust. Despite the mateiial Advance of late, country offerings of cash grain were not large, purchases on overnight bids being estimated at only 80.000 bushels. Further quantities were booked during Tko day on the advance. Premiums in the .sample market were *ic higher at the last, with receipts of 390 cars. A fair export bu^ness was put through at the seaboard with a cargo to Scandinavia. A growing bull sentiment was noted ‘n some quurters regarding the oats mar ket.

A decided surprise was given t ho grain trade by the government crop re port in its finals for the year, and was taken by th# trade in general a# bear ish. creating tho impression that prices Saturday are to sell lower Tho report in creased the vinter wheat yield 46.000, 000 bushels over the prtfc'ous returns and spring v heat .only 2 Of l.ffo bushels, mak ing a gain of 47.000.0oo bushels more than the trade bad figured on and 41,000,*>00 bushels in excess of last, year’s revised figure.*, which wore raised practically 16, 000,000 bushels ovm the returns of last year. Evidently tne increase of 4.000,- i OuO acres winter wheat over previous figures was area previously reported as , abandoned, but included in the late re- ; turns. There was- not enough change, a cut of 6,000,000 bushels in the corn crop from the November firgurea, to bo a big fac tor. The report was 91,000,000 to more than 100.000,000 bushels above the private estimate*, while in oats a reduction of 16.600.000 bushels was regard'd ss fa vorable to the holders, while rj e figures were raised 16,000,000 bushels, making » record crop. Taking the report in all grain* it is 32.000,000 bushels more than previously estimated, and 65,000,000 bush els in excess of last year s revised figures. Secretary of Commerce Hoover, hi a speech before the National Co-operative association's convention, said farmers were entitled to relief from present ftnanloal conditions and were to get It in a sub stantial way ^ ery soon. Heavy selling for profit3 with a liberal amount of shoit selling has been in on all grains for several da>« and It is no more than natural that the markets should show tho effects. It would not surprise some of the most ardent advocates of higher prices to see a recession of 1 to 2 cents from tonight's close, which will develop buying orders and possibly a rally. The trade evened up for the gov ernment report at tho last. Chicago Livestock. Chicago.

Financial New' York, Deo. 15.—Probably most people, after reading Bonar Daw's dismal description of Great Britain s economic condition, were moved with curiosity as to what the sterling ex change market would do in response to it. Explanation by the premier that unless trade revives pretty soon. England will ‘ reach a position which will be worse, almost, than that of any allied country,” did not exactly accord with the Inferences drawn from the recent remarkable movement of exchange in favor of that couptry. But the market showed more con fidence irt the verdict of sterling rates than in the judgment of Bonar Law, whose speech, indeed, was taken by Wall street as a curiously superficial survey of the whole situation, wheth er In England or on the continent. The inference generally drawn was that, like the unlucky attempt of the French ministry to gain an ulterior purpose by painting the budget out look in particularly dark colors, the speech to parliament was framed with a view to exerting pressure for a compromise on German repara tions. Sterling Advances. The foreign exchange market evidently took that viewpoint Sterling advanced at Linden before the New York opening and ended the day in Wall street prac tically unchanged Exchange on Paris rose to the highest rate since the middle of October, the day's best figure, 7.48c to the franc, comparing with the recent low level of 6.17c on November 8. Tho Italian lira went beyond th« season's previous highest. Even the German mark strug gled up a fraction Neither the stock market nor the bond market was visibly influenced by any of these occurrence# Movement of prices was irregular in both. The stock market ended with net advance* and net declines about evenly balanced. Liberty bonds and most of the foreign loans selling down a small fraction. Wall street, Hfter its usual habit, assigned the stock market's uncer tain closing to the rise of tho call money rate to 6 per cent. Financial Notes. Directors of the Pa/t-American Petro leum company, following their meeting today, furnished Wall afreet with another pleasant surprise; a stof-k dividend of no per cent was declared op both classes of common stock nuyable in class Ft shares. Thl‘> is in addition to the 26 per cent stock dividend declared lato in October, when the regular dividend was also in creased from $6 to 18 a share annually. The stock dividend today and that de clared in October gives the stockholders R0 per rent more stock than was held on October 1. The advance in the price of copper •luring the week, accompanied by pre dictions in the trade that further advance# will bo witnessed during the Urst quarter of the \ear, stimulated speculative Inter est In the copper shares. with the result that the more prominent Issues recorded gains ranging from .substantial fractions to a point or more From the point of activity Anaconda vn tho feature, but American Smelting and Refining closed with the largest gain. Sales of metal for snot delivery were made at 14l4<\ a new high record for the year. New York^ Quotations J Rang®' of priced of the leading stocks furnished by Logan fi.
