_ MARKET, FINANCIAL AND INDUSTRIAL NEWS OE THE DAY_
Omaha Grain
Omaha, Dec. 28.
Total receipts at Omaha were 160
oars as compared with 55 cars last
year. Total shipments were 296 cars
against 100 cars a year ago.
Demand for cash wheat in the lo
cal market was slow and prices a
cent lower than yesterday. Corn
was In fair demand at unchanged to
Sc lower. Oats were *ic to Sc low
er—the market being generally Sc
lower. Rye was quoted lc lower and
barley unchanged, quality consid
ered.
After an early bulge prices of grain
developed weakness and dragged
considerably lower during the day.
Profit taking by longs was much m
evidence and the market lacked
speculative buying support except
around the inside figures where some
support appeared in the form of rest
ing orders. Cash demand for corn
whs very poor and this was one of
factors in making lower prices.

Chicago Grain
Chicago, Dec. 28.—Grain markets re
versed their action of the previous day
and closed with a heavy undertone at
practically the lowest prices of the
day. Deferred deliveries of wheat
were 1?8®1!4c lower, while Decem
ber was unchanged. Corn was "g@
l*io lower, oats lower and
rye l’*c lower.
There was an utter absence of the
aggressive buying of wheat by New
York interests, which was such a
factor on Wednesday. Instead there
was heavy and persistent selling by
commission houses and local longs,
with support coming almost entirely
from resting orders.
Local sentiment was much more
bearish than of late and the heaviness
tn corn had considerable influence.
Opening prices were steady to 14 c
higher, with May touching $1.26\.
equalling the best price of the season,
but a drop to $1 24s4 came just before
the close, with the finish at that price
to '4c over. December acted tight
and went to 814c over May ot the last,
having a range of only :'4c for the
day.
Export Demand Fair.
Export demand was fuirly good anti in
cluded some hard winter via the gulf,
with sales in all positions estimated at
over 500.000 bushels. Cash basis showed
little change in thy sample market. A
decrease of 3,400,00 bushels in available
stocks last week had no effect on the
market.
Corn showed a heavy undertone through
out thy day with a continuation of the
heavy commission house s»*lling., which
lias been in evidence for some time, and
prices dropped to a new low on the pres
ent downturn. At the low point May was
fl'ic. or 1 %e under the previous close,
with a rally of ’d* from the inside fignore
on scattered short covering at the fin
nlsh. Export demand was keen with
sales around 1,000,000 bushels at the sea
board. but the sales failed to stimulate
outside buying. Support came mainly
from resting orders. Receipts. 645 cars,
with the basis easy as compared with
December. The latter acted light and
went to 1c over May.
Oats failed to show Independent action
and weakened In sympathy with corn.
December closed 2 Vic under May. Re
ceipts. 98 cars.
Numerous export bills for rye were In
the market, hut were somewhat below a
working basis rash houses bought fu
tures freely, but with wheat weak, the
market gradually worked lower. The two
northwestern markets had 271 cars.
I’lt Notes.
A change in sentiment among most of
the local professionals and some of the
commission houses, who have been favor
able to higher prices for grains, was no
ticeable today At the same time the
trailers favorable to further advances were
disposed to step aside and let prices sag
lower Most local longs, other than those
who have been most emphatically bull
ish. were out of their long stuff and many
were short Those favoring the construc
tive side of the market, regarded wheat
a purchase on any further good break.
The break in 4wheat was led by corn
where there has been heavy selling for
several days, considerable being by longs
and a great deal of short corn was put
on the market today, especially at the last
by local operators who have worked on
tiiat side for more than a week. It was
said that the local interests were mostly
short at the close
Within the last two days th« wheat
trails has absorbed several million bush
els sold by traders who were taking prof
its. It has all disappeared with a break
of 2 cents In both Mai "beat and corn.
There was selling of May, wheat here
h.v local longs and 1 uying at Winnipeg
Th« latter market closed around the bot
tom with losses of 1 *4 2 c. Demand for
rash wheat there for rail shipment cast
was retarded by congestion east .while the
demand from Vancouver was good. In
all Winnipeg gained on Chicago
Minneapolis reported the put has»*s of
futures against snles of cash wheat which
took i he slack out of the market. Move
ment In the northwest la heavy. Minne
apolis and Duluth had x<57 cars against
670 cars a week ago and 133 cars last year
Winnipeg had 377 cars against 664 cars
a week ago apd 386 cars last year.
Kansas City reported light country of
ferings of wheat and said farmers h'id
stopped selling. Wichita reported good
receipts and said the movement is'to con
tinue large.
A western cash handler says 1 .os An
geles reports the demand for corn there
filled up for the time being He abo add*
that there is more corn being fed in Cali
foruta than ever before and predicts an
increased consumption.
There are many stations in Town that
have sold no corn so far this season and
will not as they are feeding all thcr crop
and will ship corn in before the end of
the season. There are other points that
have sold and shipped freely all season.
Country offerings of corn have fallen off
the past two days owing to the break in
prices.

New York. Dee. 2S.—An irregular
decline in prices on today’s stock
market, with the largest total trails
actions since November 14. and with
the number of separate stocks dealt
in at high record, gave vogue to a
Wall street theory that this was the
familiar "selling to establish income
lax losses." Probably the. explana
tion was suggested both by the fact
that this was the last day of 1922 on
which such transactions could be ef
fected by delivery and payment in
the regular way and by the fact that
nobod.v eVen suggested that the weak
ness in stocks resulted from anything
In the news or the general situation.
If the explanation was correct, the
day’s market was entirely meaning
less, except insofar as sales for such
a purpose might Indicate repurchases
after the end of the year.
As a rule the day’s declines were
not large, but they extended pretty
much throughout the list. They had
no connection with the money mar
ket, where the highest Stock Ex
change rate again was 5 1-2 per
cent. The day’s bond market was
firm with one or two rather rapid
recoveries and with total transac
tlons only twice exceeded since Octo
ber.
Activity Reflected.
In the weekly report of the federal re
serve, the Increase of $4,300,000 in redis
counts and of $7,600,000 in note circula
tion probably reflected the unexpected
continuance of active wholesale trade. This
i as frequently been the week, however,
when the maximum of autumn expansion
is reached. From now on, the weekly
statements should show decrease in both
accounts.
It was once more noteworthy that the
gold reserve decreased. It has been re
duced $'.400,000 in the last Wf**k, mak
ing $20,700,000 reduction since the middle
of December and $49,500,000 since October
11.
Foreign exchange moved with no defi
nite purpose except that the sharp re
covery in the franc might have indicated
repurchases by “fear operators’’ whose
sales had caused the decline of Wednes
day. The weekly return of the Batik of
France confirmed the cabled prediction
that the bank would have to lend heavily
to the government around the end of tlie
year. In the past week the state has
borrowed 200.000,000 francs on top of its
500.000. 000 borrowings of the week be
fore and the paper circulation has risen
309.700,000 francs after a decline of 20 -
500.000.
The day’s news comprised a number of
interesting railway earnings statements for
November. Nearly all of them repeat the
story of previous published November re
ports. showing that October’s abnormally
large outlay for maintenance of equip
ment did not have to be repeated In the
ensuing month.
