Market, Financial and Industrial News of the Day
Omaha Grain
Total receipts at Omaha'were 228
cars, the bulk of which being wheat
and corn as compared with 63 cars
Inst year. Total shipments were 113
t ars against 119 cars a year ago.
Cash demand for wheat on the
Omaha market was slow and prices
generally 2 to 3 cents low’er. Corn
was quiet and unchanged to 1 cent
lower. Oats w'ere 1 cent lower. Rye
was quoted 1 cent lower and barley
unchanged. *
Continued liquidation of long wheat
caused further weakness in that grain
roday. Coarse grains, while some
what lower in sympathy, showed a
much better tone due to lighter re
ceipts and a better call for export.
Long wheat came out freely, being In
fluenced largely by bearish foreign
news und the only support uccorded
this grain was buying on resting or
ders.

Chicago Grain
Chicago, Deo. 29.—There was no let
up in the pressure on the wheat mar
ket, which still showed an overbought
condition, and prices drooped sharply
to a new low on the present down
turn, the inside figure on May being
5o under the high of the previous
day, with the finish at a loss of 2',4
cents. July was off 2 l-8c, and De
cember 3-4c. Corn showed stubborn
resistance to pressure. December act
' cd tight and closed lc higher and
the deferred deliveries l-8c higher,
while outs were l-2@7-8c lower, and
rye i 3-8c lower.
Political news from abroad is hav
ing considerable influence on local
sentiment, which has become strong
ly bearish. Houses with New York
connections were persistent sellers of
May, and while there was steady buy
ing on resting orders, the decline un
covered stops and the drop was very
sharp at times. The trade had an im
pression that a good part of the sell
ing represented profit-taking for Wall
street operators, who were evening up
for income tax purposes over the year
end.
Hull Influence* Ignored.
A local professional who was credited
with having been a good seller of wheat
for several days Issued a bearish summary
on the world’s supply and demand situa
tion which had some effect on the mar
ket. Bullish Influences were ignored, and
export sales of over 500,000 bushels with
reports of large orders under considera
tion failed to bring about a rally. There
was some buying on the Introduction of a
$100,000,000 credit bill for Germany Into
the senate. Rally from the inside figures
at the last was due to local short cover
ing. Forecast for rain or snow over the
winter wheat belt led to selling of the
July. December went to 4c over May
at one time o« short covering.
December corn was wanted by' shorts
and the undertone was strong Resting
orders at 71c for May checked the early
break, but there was less pressure than
of late and the market gave an excellent
account of itself. Purt of the buying was
to remove hedges against export salea,
which aggregated 800,000 bushels. The
gulf outbid Chicago materially for cash
corn down state and offerings to arrive
were limited. Receipts, 279 cars.
Southern demand for cash oats in cen
tral Illinois was much better, with bids
as much as 4c higher than Chicago, but
this failed to have any effect on futures,
which were weaker and lower with wheat.
Receipts. 73 cars. *
Tiie northwest and the seuboard were
free buyers of rye on seflle orders re
flecting sales of over 1,000,000 bushels to
Germany. Local longs sold freely and
numerous stop orders were caught on the
way down. The two northwestern mar
kets had 138 cars.
Pit Notea.
Wheat traders were mostly bearish {.l
the close, owing to the break in prices,
which aggregated 5r, from the recent
high on futures. The point was made
that the market has not lully digested
the many millions of bushels long and
short wheat put on It the past few days
and thnt It may take a few days for it
to b© absorbed.
The big selling of wheat has been by
the eastern anti a number of the local
longs who have been active for several
days. There has also been a. lot of
selling by a local bear party, which has
forced out millions of bushels held by
small holders.
Long corn has been on the market in j
well absorbed, despite the break In wheat, j
well absorbed, despite the break in heat. .
The trade is mixed as to the future. The j
big primary reocelpts of wheat and corn
tends to create bearishness on both
gratns, hut reports from the southwest
and west are of lighter country offerings,
while in the northwest and in the Cana
dian provinces the movement continues
heavy.
F. 3. Lewis, who was in New York,
wired that Germany had bought a big
lot of rye. The United Kingdom bought
Manitoba wheat and that corn business
was heavy. Kxporters he said were all
bullish. A message from a Now York
trader expressed bullish views on wheat.
There has been 8.000.000 to 10.000.000
bushels of wheat put on this market since
last Saturday that appeared to come from
the same aource. said a Winnipeg mes
sage. “Our market has stood the selling
remarkably well until the last hour when
probably 3.000.000 bushels were sold,’*
said the message. “The buying has been
of a pretty good character, which Is
shown on our market maintaining its
difference with Chicago."
Arthur W. Cutten was out with a
long summary of the world's wheat situa
tion in which he took a very bearish
view of tho supply and demand. He
figures that on the basis of the actual
world's shipments of tho first five months
of the present crop year there is a
world's surplus of 200.000.000 to 250 000.
000 bushels instead of a practical exhaus
tion at the end of the season as many
have been expecting.

New York, Dee. 29.—The move
ment on the Stock Exchange today
was as active as the day before, but
the course of prices was directly op
posite. Industrial shares and par
ticularly railway stocks, advanced on
the whole more rapidly than they had
declined on Thursday. This recovery
was possibly more noteworthy from
the fact, first that a fairly large num
ber of "cash sales" were made for the
obvious purpose of establishing nom
inal losses in the income tax returns:
second, the call money rates went to
6 per cent, the highest since No
vember S.
But the market undoubtedly reas
oned that these belated sales for cash
—made in that way Jn order to close
the transaction during 1922, were a
reminder that whatever depressing in
fluence has been exerted by this
absured machinery was necessarily
behind us. Taken as a whole, the
day’s stock market ended at the day's
best prices.
Bond Price* Stronger.
Tn the bond market, also, there was a
distinct upward tendency of prices, a
rather striking instance of which was
the movement of Chicago. Milwaukee &
St. Paul r.ecuritles. Theso bonds, after
declining In some cases 10 points or more
since early autumn, have risen 2 to 4
points in ihe past two days, under heavy
buying.
Whether the reversal of attitude was
to he ascribed to the completion of "sales
to establish losses" and the usual subse
quent repurchases, or to the excellent
statement of earnings by the company for
November, it attracted natural attention
on the market. Liberty bonds moved up
gradually along with the rest, but did
not reach the recent high figures of its
recovery.
In tho foreign exchange market, ster
ling went slightly lower, francs advanced
and rates on other European countries
moved uncertainly. The delegates to next
Tuesday’s conference of the European
premiers have certainly brought forward
a variety of hints and forecasts and con
jectures bewildering enough to give no
cue whatever to tho speculator In ex
change.
When, furthermore, the contradictions
from Europe are supplemented by the
sudden debate at Washington over the
entry of the United States into European
conferences, it fa hardly to be wondered
at that the foreign exchange market
does not know which way to move.
M all Ntreet Topic*.
The announcement of the details of the
1 plan for the consolidation of the Van
j Sworlngen railroads—the New York. Chi
cago & St. Louts, Toledo, St. Louis &
i Western and Lake Erie & Western—prac
t tieally marked the final step in the mer
1 g*»r of these properties. Based on 1922
operations, it was estimated in transporta
tion quarter* that these roads would show
a combined net revenue, after all charges,
amounting to $fi.33f».000, which would be
3-72 times the requirements of the new
preferred stock to be issued by the con
solidated company. After deducting these
preferred dividends, It was estimated that
earnings would be equal to more than
$14 a share on the proposed common
stock. The capital stock of the new cor
poration. to he issued at once, provides
for $^2,720,000, 6 per cent cumulative pre
ferred stock and *40.247.900 common.
In view of the fact that Thursday was
the last day on which a holder of stock
could dispose of h!s securities for tax
purposes in the usual way, a large amount
of cash transactions were reported on the
tape tadnv. This was due to4he fact that
stocks sold in the regular way would not
he cleared until next Tuesday. Such
transactions were unusually large and at
times during the day almost every other
transaction was for cash.
While all hearings before the Inter
state Commerce commission on the prob
lem of railway consolidations ar« admit
tedly tentative in character, the next
hearing on the application of the Bur
lington, Northern Pacific and Great
Northern to merge into one company is
creating special interest. This hearing,
which is scheduled to be held in Wash
ington January 17. will consider not only
the original application of these three Hill
carriers to merge, but the petition of the
Great Northern to be placed with the
Burlington, In case the first plan is
turned down. The Great Northern made
this move, after the combined applica
tion of the three companies was filed
and it is understood that the hearing on
January 17 will probably be devoted
largely to this phase of the proposed
consolidation.

New York Bonds
New York, Deo. 29.—Prices in today's
bond market displayed a decidedly strong
tone with the active demand for St Paul
and New Haven railroad mortgages as
the day's feature. Cash sales were not
as extensive as in the stock market, al
though it was curious to note that the
largest volume of these was in the United
States government Issues, which are sell
ing near their high levels of the year
making tax losses in those kinds virtually
negligible.
The sharp upturn in St. Paul and New
Haven bonds seemed to lend confirmation
to the belief that the recent weakness
grew out of selling to establish tax losses.
St. Paul convertible 5s and New Haven
6s and the so-called French 7s of that
road each moved up more than 3 points
while St. Paul, Puget Sound 4s afid the
4s of 1922. the convertible 4a and the re
funding 4 s were all 1 to 2 points higher;
Denver, Rio Grande & Western bonds also
showed marked improvements, the 4s, the
consolidated 4s and refunding 5s and the
refunding 5s, stamped, each advancing
2 to 3*4 points Some of the other strong
spots in the railroad group were Baltimore
A- Ohio refunding 5s, up 3 points; Western
Maryland 4s, up 1?*. and Erie consolidated
4s. up 1 Bg.
Foreign bonds were virtually neglected ,
although Mexican government 4s and
Cuba railroad 5s, moved to slightly higher
grounds while Colombian 6Vis dropped
sharply. Except for losses of 8 and 10
cent8 on *100 respectively in Victory 41i"
and the first 4Vis. all the United States
government securities moved to higher
ground. Liberty 3Vis touched $101 for the
first time in two months and closed 18c
higher, the second 4'iS advanced 26c; the
third, 20c; the fourth, 28c, and the new
2c.
Marland 011 8s and Chile Copper 7s,
each up 2 points, led the advance in ac
tive industrial mortgages. Other strong
spots in that group were Atlantic Fruit.
7s certificates. Republic Steel 5s, U. S.
Steel 5s, American Smelting f»s and Lig
gett and Myers 7 Vis, all up 1 to 1 Vi points.
Total sales (par value) were J14.662.000.

where production is at a high level, while

On Hands, Elbows, Limbs and
Chest. Cuticura Healed.
"For nearly four years I was
troubled with eczema on ray bands,
elbows, lower limbs, and portions
of my chest. It broke out in s rash
and the skin was very sore and red.
The itching was intense causing me
to scratch. The itching was worse at
night, and the resultant lose of sleep
rendered me incapable of performing
my work.
"I tried Cuticura Soap and Oint
ment. The first three applications
allayed the itching, and in less than
two months I was healed.” (Signed)
W. C. Tanner, 105 W. Columbia
