| MARKET, FINANCIAL AND INDUSTRIAL NEWS OF THE DAY —^^———— ——————^■————^^—*■^ -1 Omaha Grain - i i Omaha, December 21. | The three-day run of receipts at i Omaha aggregated 471 cars of all grains, consisting principally of i wh*?-t and corn, and compared with 303 cars last year. Total shipments 254 cars, against 113 cars a ! >ear ago. A very slow demand was in evi* » dcnce In cash wheat on the Omaha j exchange, with prices generally 2c ! lower. Corn also moved llowly and , sold He to lc lower. Oats sold He j lower. Rye was quoted unchanged to 1 He lower, and barley unchanged. Liverpool wheat market watj closed i today on account of the Christinas holidays. Our prices showed a some- j what upward trend during the early tinfling. despite the fact that receipts were large. This, however, was ex pected and discounted in the trading last week. Holiday dullness prevailed and trading was largely local. WHEAT. No. 1 hard winter: 5 cars. $1.16.

Dec. 26.— Fog^n Bar— vtr. 62Uc; Mexican dollars. 474c Chicago Grain Chicago, Dec. 26.—While sentiment in wheat ami corn was rather bearish early and prices declined slightly as compared with Saturday’s finish, there was little actual pressure on the markets except from the pit ele ment. The latter became oversold on a decline of in wheat and He In corn and in covering shorts ad vanced prices sharply at the last, the finish being unchanged to l%c higher on wheat, unchanged to JL-c higher on corn, He higher to *8C lower on oats and lc higher on rye. With foreign markets closed and few cables in from abroad, the pit element lacked an incentive on either side of the market early. A little j commission house buying of May car- j ried prices up *ac to $1.23 at which j figure resting orders checked the ad vance and with pressure from the lo cal trade a drop to $1.24 followed. The surplus in the pit was taken off at that figure on resting orders and towards the last a statement by Sec retary of Commerce Hoover that gold exports might be expected from this country was responsible for general buying and a bulge of l%c from the low point. HiH'fmhfr Wheat Vnezsy. December wheat showed a rather easy undertone and went to practically the n. in« price as the May at the laat. There \v ;t tf a fair export demand, despite tho holiday abroad with .sales of 250,000 bushel* Manitoba* and durum*. Receipts of 1,013 car* wheat at Kansas Pity at tiacted considerable attention, but over naif of the arrivals were through billed to the fculf for export. Receipts of 1,827 cars of cash corn were In line with expectations of the trade and price* declined fractionally. Around 71ViC for May there was a good class of buying, while on the bulge to 72*fec there was considerable selling by some of the early buyers. The late advance was in sympathy with wheat. Export demand was fairly brisk, with a good business done under cover. Sample values wore lower, as compared with Decem er, which went to a fractional discount nder May at the laBt. Oats were dull and easier early. A cash h* usj bought December ami sold May at 2 tie arid at the last the spread narrowed to around 2c. Receipts, 320 cars. Nunn roua Inquiries ware received fol cash rye and some export business was understood to have been put through at the seaboard. Rouses with northwestern connections were the best sellers. The two northwestern markets had 262 cats. . Pit Notes. The late rally in wfceat «n‘l rorn Price* was a big surprise to most local oper ators, who had overlooked the strong for eign news ami the effect of the small gain in the visible supply, 528.000 bushels, c onshlerlng the size of the movement last week. It was said ut the close that should Liverpool cables come higher to morrow, better prices will be made h*re. Those in closest touch with the wheat and corn situation here tnd abroad are very friendly to the constructive side of the markets, especially wheat. Onu of the closest observers of the wheat situa tion predicts an advance of 10 to 25c in wheat, based on the foreign situation and Indications of a big demand from abroad. Chicago received 2.542 cars of all grain for tho last three days, of which 1.826 cars were corn and 316 cars wheat. East ern roads arc furnishing more cars and large orders for cart huve been placed to move gain from Chicago to Baltimore, Newport News and other Atlantic ports. Fully one-half of the 1,827 cars of corn reported as In here today were applied on previous sales, the balance being on the market. Of the 1,033 cars of wheat re ceived at Kansas City for the three days, more than half were billed through to the gult and came from Omaha and other points and «»re going for export. Kansas City buyers lc ok around 500 cars at lc decline in premiums and cleaned up the offering-. Live Stock ijec. „o. Receipts wrere: Cattle. Hogs. Sheep. Monday, holiday .

Poultry —Unchanged Financial New York, Dec. 26.—The incidents which attracted attention on today’s markets were the strength in United States bonds, of which the new 4 l-4s went back to the subscription price of par for the first time since Novem ber 8; the rise of cotton to the new high point of the year, matching the ‘“spot price” of 26.80c of November 9, and the publication of a batch of railway earnings statements for No vember, practically all of them show ing handsome increases over 1921, not only in gross receipts, but in net. The larger gross revenue was insured beforehand by the increase of 25 per cent in car loadings reported for No vember; which, indeed surpassed all records for that month. But the al most equally large expansion in net operating income for the month shows that October’s extremely heavy outlay for equipment, which was a sequel to the shopmen’s strike and which more than canceled that month’s increase in gross, has not been generally repeated. Those November earning?* statements found no reflection in prices for the rail way shares, moat of which rose r fraction and then declined again. Numerous in dustrial shares scored sharp advances. Possibly this showed the general trend of the market, though the movement was rather evidently the work of professional speculators in the stocks concerned and was not followed even by all of the in dustrial group. Bond Market Finn. As a whole, the bond market maintain ed great firmness on apparently largo volume of transactions; but prices were not greatly changed. Apparently, this Is one of these year-end investment mar kets in which t hrt counter currents of holders wishing to realize and of brokers or investors buying to anticipate the "January coupon money” sufficiently off set one another tb keep the general level of prlees even. In view of the unex pectedly vigorous stimulus which general trade has received In the past fortnight, there was some discussion in the market as to how the price of investment securi ties would move Iti case such further expansion of trade were to occur be tween now and spring, time as to ap proach the dimensions of a "boom.” That result naturally would not help to higher prices for Investment securities, but it Is still full early to base large expectation on the year-end returns. The evidence is strong for continuance of active trade; partly to replenish stocks of merchandise which have been allowed to fall too low, partly to meet the apparently broadening demand in such Industries as clothing and building material, partly In order t*» "take up the slack” occasioned by the late summer shut down of factories when coal ran short. But how- much more it Indicates can be safely Judged only by the progress of events. As a measure of con servative Investment values, today's rise of the new treasury 4 Vb* to the sub scription prices and within nearly *4 point of their high record prfte hud consider able significance. Financial Topic*. Wall street heard today through unof ficial dispatches thut the Van Swerin gens had exercised their option on tne Huntington holdings of Chesapeake & Ohio stock, the first move of which it Is uaid will lead to control of the road. The report could not be checked up in any of ficial sources, however, as H. K. Hunting ton, chairman of the Chesapeake At Ohio, is still in California and his representa tives in New York could furnish no infor mation. According to cankers closely identified with the Van Swerlngen activi ties, the report was doubtful as it was Understood that the option did not expire until the turn of the year. The announcement over the holidays that rh« price of Wyoming crude oil had been advanced 50 per cent, or from 70c to $1.05 u barrel, was responsible for the activity and strength In most of the oH stocks The gains recorded on the stock exchange- were laiger In the case of the independent companies than 1n the case of in- Standard Issues, in view of the fact that advances in crude prices bene fit thn Independents, who are the pro ducers, rather than the refining com panies .although the latter are compen sated by an ndvanca in the price of re fined products. Auto Stock* Attractive The automobile stocks again attracted attention today because of their activity and strength. In Wall street circles the opinion prevails that these stocks are being “groomed” for the demonstration which usually accompanies tho annual mo tor show to be held in this city next week. On active trading. Studebaker was bill up to 140% today, the nighest price this year and also the highest since 1919, when the peak was 1 •%. In 1915 it sold as high as 195. Chandler gained a point These two issues were most prominent. Members of the cabinet who today told the Washington correspondents that gold exports mav start soon, merely emphasized and brought sharply up in the news of the day a possibility that international bankers her# have been studying and probing for several weeks. There Is a possibility, however, that It will be far into 1923 before there lire exports of any sufficient size to make a ripple in our gold stock.
