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

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

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
