MARKET, FINANCIAL AND INDUSTRIAL NEWS OF THE DAY_ Omaha Grain Omaha, December 21. Receipts of wheat Omaha were 65 cars: of corn, 67 cars; of oats, 15 cars, totaling 149 cars, as compared with 116 cars last year. Total shipments were 206 cars, against 95 cars a year ago. Cash wheat on the Omaha exchange was in fairly good demand, with prices unchanged to lc higher. Corn was 0 slow and weak, selling 14c to lc lower. Oats sold around unchanged prices. Rye was quoted nominally unchanged and barley lljc lower. The future grain market opened higher, being favorably influenced by strong foreign cables, but holders took advantage of the bulge to secure profits on long contracts, and the mar ket declined, corn selling below the low prices of yesterday. Wheat, how ever. showed, more strength, as com mission houses had resting orders around the inside figures and took the surplus off the market. Rater in the session shorts became anxious buyers and prices reacted, closing around the highest of the day. WHEAT. . No 2 dark hard: 1 ear. $1,22 4; - cars. $1.24.

Too much meat may form uric acid, which excites the kidneys; they be come overworked: get sluggish, ache and feel like lumps of lead. The urine becomes cloudy; the bladder Is irritat ed, and you may bo obliged to seek relief two or three times during the night. When the kidneys clog you must help them flush off the body's urinous waste or you'll be a real sick person shortly. At first you feel a dull misery in the kidney region; you t suffer from backache, sick headache, dizziness, stomach gets sour, tongue coated and you feel rheumatic twinges when the weather is bad. Drink lots of water; also get from any pharmacist four ounces of Jad Salts; take a tablespoonful In a glass of water before breakfast for a few days nnd your kidneys may then act fine. This famous salts is made from the acid of grapes, and lemon Juice, combined with lithia, and has been used for generations to clean clogged kidneys and stimulate them to normal activity, also to help neutralize the acids in urine, so it no longer is a source of irritation, thus often ending bladder weakess. jnd Salts is inexpensive, cannot in jure; makes a delightful effervescent lithia water drink which everyone should take now and then to help «eep the kidneys clean and active.

COUGH?] HSOS 1 Chicago Grain Chicago, Dec. 21.—Bullish foreign news, with a marked revival in the export demand for wheat, both Manl tobas and Gulf, combined with short covering and an excellent class of 1 commission house buying resulted in I a higher level of wheat prices. Final trades were at the top. with net gaim of l-2(?!'l 1 2c, with December show ing the least appreciation. Coarse grains were heavy early, but rallied with wheat later. Corn .closed 3-4c 1 lower on December and 3-8c higher on tlie deferred deliveries, while oa's were 1-461-2c higher. Rye gained I 1 l-4c. ! Wheat market was rather dull ; early with more or less pressure from i local traders in th# absence of ag 1 gesslve buying. May dropped to il.23 3-4, at which figure there was ; persistent buying by commission I houses on resting orders which finally j absorbed the surplus in the pit, and 1 the upturn was easily attained. The ! tTnited Kingdom was a free buyer of cash wheat and sales in all positions were estimated at well over 1,000.000 ; bushels. Argentine New* Bullish. Liverpool failed to reflect the easiness | In American markets Wednesday and dosed % d higher to 4fcd Iowpt, the for mer on December. Argentine n*ws was of ’/i bullish character and Liverpool cables | told of a lack of first-hand plate offers t.ongn in December were good sellers of that delivery and In many Instances re placed by purchases of May. Premiums at the gulf were quoted l®2c higher. Red \*int«r on spot here was 2c louer. Scattered longs were persistent sellers of corn early and the May dropped from the previous day's finish When wheat turned stiong some of the early sellers took the buying side and found offerings light. The December, however, "as affected by profit-taking sales throughout the day ami finished eafcy. lash premiums were unchan ged to \4c lower, with receipts 469 cars. Messages from parts of Nebraska and Illinois In dicated farmer* showed more disposition to cell to Arrive. Hulk of th** trade In oats uhs of a local character, but around 46%c for May there were good supporting orders and the rallv from the inside figures was easily attained. Shipping demand was only fair. Receipts, 92 cars. A liberal export business was put through in rye, although not fully re t orted by the seaboard. Houses with northwestern connections and cable in terests were good buyers of May with some selling of rye and buying of wheat. The two northwestern markets had 96 cars. Tit Notes. Closings on December and May wheat were the highest of the season, with a feeling amongst the bull leaders that values are to go Irregularly higher. July is not holding up as well as the other deliveries, being subject to more pres sure A better feeling among the export trade here and at the seaboard created a more friendly tone and It whs said that a few of the active local operators who have been bearish had covered on the break of early Wednesday and Thursday and taken the long side. Corn traders who have hern strongest believers In the constructive side of th inaret ding tn their previously expressed ideas that values are to go higher later, although there may be set backs from bulges for the present. The market has taken millions of bushels of long corn in addJUj>n to the short selling and is hold ing. Indications are for a good movement for the next 40 days which is usual at this season when cars ar« available. Primary arrivals, however, are below last year's. Country shippers with corn sold for De cember shipment are busy filling their sales and have h great many to take care of In the next nine days of this month. Iowa Is selling more corn than of late and offerings from Illinois and Nebraska are showing a small gain, while the west ern demand wsh not ?o sharp, the buying from that section being spasmodic. Colder weather tho past week has Increased con sumption among feeders, especially where there has been snow. It was raid that the surlus wheat at Missouri river markets Is being sent to the gulf. This will prevent Its moving Into Chicago later. A point was made that there will be little wheat to coma to Chicago from the southwest for May deliv ery. unless Canadian Id brought In. No. 2 Manitoba" is said to be selling near an import basis. Winnipeg wheat prices closed 1 higher for the day with a large ; export I us I ness. CHICAGO CLOSING TRICKS. By Updike rain Co. DO. 2627.

To get into their own hands a good part of the out standing shares, bidding the price up 30 points or so in a single week and then let it sell down to where it stood before, has been a familiar practice of the gentlemen identified with the property. Today the stock gave a now exhibi tion. Having been put up 16 points this .week before Wednesday's clos ing, it wuto advanced 64 more in the earlier hours today and ended the day only 22 points below the highest. >'« About Matter. There whs no secret about the matter By means ,of a continuous process of turning Mexican Pete stock Into another holding company, the shares nctualiy out standing have been reduce® nearly 95 per cent. Application to so trifling a supply -of the abounding manipulative energies of tiio group behind the stock would hard ly produce any smaller movement. To this it Is necessary to add. however, that tho performance was a Wall street scan dal and that It. was as rightly to in thn lash of the constituted authorities ns did the similarly impudent "Stuts Mo tors" exploit of 1920. Further though not rapid recovery tn foreign exchange rates brought sterling to 94.84% today, a price very nearly half way between the low point *»f the previous day's reaction and tlie high point of a week before. This quick recovery from the decline that had followed tlio 19o advance in barely a fortnight is an inter esting sidelight on the market's attitude. Tho reaction which followed last June's advance to 94.51% was more considerable, yet it was two or thr$e months before any substantial recovery occurred. Judg ing bjf precedent, tho rat9~ should now fluctuate for some time in the neighbor hood of present figures, and that result is prot»able enough. But on the other hand, not only has the European economic, situation been changing somewhat rap idly. but the political atmosphere is Just now. so to speak, charged with electricity. Financial Topic:*. Many of tho oil companies which have taken over acreage in tli« new Smackover field in Arkansas are understood to lie In need of funds to carry on their operations in that field. This territory, which was opened only a short time ago. witnessed a rush for acreage from all sections of the country. Leases were split up into small lots and many corporations became interested. The result was that many started drilling at the same time in order to "get ahead" of the other fellow. This caused a steady increase in production and the drilling of one well after another When the oil was brought above ground, the producers were unable to market It be- I cause of the absence of adequate transpor tation facilities and the oil was stored in earthen wells. The sale of five shares of Michigan Central stock at 330, an advance of $20 over the last sale, revived the report to day that the New York Central, which already controls 90 per cent of the com pany, was seeking to gain the minority stock. Officials of the company explain ed that they have expressed their willing ness to certain banking interests to pur chase additional Michigan Central stock if it were offered them at the right price and it was assumed In transportation quarters that the Jump hi the stock today was due to this situation. Substantial advances were made by many of the railroad shares, a development which created wide interest on account of the lethargic attitude of these stocks lately. There was little news mentioned as accountable for the rise, but one rail road specialist observed that, the bulk of the advances were registered by the com panies who settled with their striker* early In the fall on one basis or an other. According to his survey the rail ways in the eastern territories which had not vet settled with the shopmen, had about 40 per cent of their equipment in the repair shops or awaiting repairs, while th*» other roads were making money, with the result that advice to client** was, "buy the ex-strike stocks." _m_ New York Quotations Range of prices of the leading stocks furnished by Logan & Bryan, 248 Peters Trust building: RAILROADS.
