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.

IF BUCK HURTS
FUMEIS
Eat less meat, also take glass
of Salts before break
fast occasionally.
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.
Druggists here say they sell lots of
Jad Salts to folks who believe in cor
recting kidney trouble while it is only
'.rouble.

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.

New York. Dec. 21.—In legitimate
business from the general public, to*
day’s stock market dwindled to small
proportions, but it was something of
a Held day in sales and purchases of
professional speculators to and from
one another. In the course of this
demonstration a number of stocks
were put up 2 points or more, but
the position of highest dignity was
achieved by that long-time favorite
of stock exchange manipulators.
Mexican petroleum. 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."
