MARKET, FINANCIAL AND INDUSTRIAL MEWS OF THE DAY Omaha, December 20. Total arrivals at Omaha were 104 tare, Including 01 cars of wheat. 35 » ara of corn, 13 cars oats, as compared with 109 cars of all grains last year. Total shipments w ere 151 cars, against 115 cars a year ago. Cash wheat in the Omaha market was in fair demand, selling unchang ed to lc lower. Corn was slow and heavy, with sales lc to 1‘sc lower. Oats were weaker and a cent lower. Rye was quoted Vac lower and barley unchanged. Grain prices generally, after a higher opening in the early session, being influenced by higher foreign ca bles, sold off sharply. Longs were heavy sellers to secure Christmas profits and the market lacked buying support and sold off easily, corn lead ing the decline. Around inside figures good buying appeared and prices steadied. All grain exchanges will be closed Monday, December 25, for Christmas holida ys. WHEAT. No. dark hard: 1 oar. xmutty, $1.23.

Chicago Gram Chicago, pec. 20.—A weakened tech nical position was disclosed in all grains, after a strong opening and heavy selling of wheat and corn cred ited to a Chicago trader who was in New York, found the markets poorly supported and induced general sell ing by local longs which carried \ al lies off very sharply. The day’s break was the largest in some time. At the inside wheat showed 2Va@3,aC under the early top and corn dropped lHWHc. Numerous stop loss orders were caught on the way down. Wheat however, received excellent support and some of the local hulls who sold wheat and corn on the early advance reinstated their lines around $1.23 for May wheat; 73c for May corn. Wheat t losod on a good rally with net losses of i4(£2c, tlve former on December. Corn was off 7-8 (fil 3-4c, oats i-8^'lo and rye IVjC. Heavy Helling: of July. A feature of the trailing in wheat was the heavy selling of July. Dei ember ami May sold at a new high for the sea son at the stnrt and July equalled the old high, but there was no enthusiastic buying *it the start, despite an advance of lH®2d in Liverpool. Dorn was the first grain to weaken ami the pit traders in wheat quickly took the bear side, large selling orders in July in the hands of houses with eastern connections quickly making their appearance. There was nothing In the news to account tor the selling. Foreign exchange was lower but the genera! run of news otherwise was rather bullish, with a better milling de mand In Liverpool and rains in south western Argentina. The break uncovered a liberal export business in Manitobas. Corn and oats showed a heavy under tone from the start and failed to rally materially from the inside figures of the day. The belief prevailed that both grains were to have a good reaction. Oats Sell at New High. July oats sold nt a new high for the season Dash corn was unchanged to 14 lower ns compared with December. He- , ceipts. 473 cars corn ami 93 cars oats A liberal export business was done in corn hh the result of the break, sales of: 400.000 bushels being reported at the sea- | board. A large amount of long corn came out during t lie day and a good part of it had not found a resting place | at t lie close. While houses with northwestern con nections were buyers of rye early, the ! weakness in wheat brought In increased pressure unci the finisli was well toward the bottom. The two northwest markets had 172 cars. Pit Notes. It was said at the close that while the break in grains had created a more two-sided opinion among traders the wheat had passed into strong hands and was more strongly held than heretofore. One of the active bulls expressed the opinion j that while there might be a further dip in prli * a they would likely run into sup port of a good character and rallies would follow. The break resulted more from an over bought pit condition than from any 1 change in the character of the news. A ! great deal of taking of profits by longs lias been on of late and was especially heavy today in addition to selling by local professionals who were working to get out lines tin bulges in expectation of I a break similar to that of today. Those in the lest position to know said that the big selling of wheat and corn was by a local operator who was in New York. He has been a seller off and on for a week and today’s sales were of greater volume than heretofore. There nro only two more trading days this week for foreign markets as they will be closed for the Christmas holidays °n Saturday while Chicago and American markets will lie open as usual. This will leave t ho trade here without any foreign information. The latter has not cut much of a figure of late. Wheat markets at outside points were stronger than Chicago showing smaller losses due to more limited selling pressure and to good support. The log selling In wheat that started the break was an unusually large order from the east to sell July by Thomson and McKinnon. Bartlett Frazier were also heavy sellers while the grain was ab sorbed by commission houses In general on resting orders. Buenos Aires wheat closed at a net gain i>f '-j (a 1c.

Financial New York, Dec. 20.—The more noteworthy incidents in today's mar kets were the recovery in foreign ex change rates after early weakness, resumption of the recent advance in Liberty bonds and the reaching by wheat of ai other new high price for the season, -1.28L, a bushel—which, however, was not maintained. Most of the markets reflected the backing and filling of speculators not very sure of their position. This was par ticularly true of the stock market, which ended at irregular and con flicting series of net changes, after a day of alternate bidding lip and driving down of prices by groups of professional operators. In tho early hours railway shares were especially strong. Actual news cuts little or no figure in such a mar ket as now prevails anti the “car loading” returns were not published until after the close of business. They cover the week ending Decem ber 0. Increase In landings. Because of t lie occurrence of the Thanksgiving holiday In a different week this year from the two preceding years, this is tlie first statement since the mid dle of November which admits of fair comparison. With that fact in mind It is interesting to learn that the week's loadings nut only ran beyond 1921 by 178.000 cars cr 24 per rent, but were larger than in any previous year. Load ings of general merchandise were 81,180 cars above the same week in 1920. Sterling at one time declined to $4 60. a read ion of 9c from the high point of a week ago, but strong buying at that rate drove the price back to $4.63 The franc and lira moved similarly, though they did not. like sterling, end at a high er figure than the day before. Cotton Kstimate Small. Today’s census estimate on cotton gln ningH threw no great light on the ques- ; tion of total yield, except that it did not point to any excess over the Agricultural j department's recent estimate. That es timate was for $9,946,000 bales, tho small est In 12 years, except for last year’s crop There is now shown to have been gained this season, up to the 13th of De cember. 9.493,296 bnbs, leaving 470.000 to be turned out if the department’s I estimate was exact. In remaining “gin- ] ning period’’ last year only 123.000 bales, were accounted for. The year before the figure was l.HO.nnO bales, but that was a 13.374.000-bale crop. Furthermore the ginning* in the first half of the present month were only 1 74.000. ns against 458, 000 In the preceding fortnight and 151.. 000 In the corresponding period even of last year. Financial Topics. Directors of the International Merchan tile Marine company will meet after the close of business Thursday to decide upon what action should be taken in regard to tho regular semi-annual dividend of 3 per 0 with tho United States rail road administration. announced today, represents ore of the largest single set tlements which have been consummated in several months. It was explained that this payment was a lump sum settlement and cleans up the carrier’s account with the government, ns no funding of gov. .Mm M-ntal otitlys for additions and bet terin' nts was necessary. Officials stated that they would be forced to study the problem * of the allocation Of this money \ cry closely and that, while It would ap pear lu the 1922 report, it was not yet debded in just what column it would be placed.
