Wheat, at the outside, show ed 2's !fi 311 o and corn 1 ti 2 Vi c over the inside figures of the previous day and despite large profit taking, the finish was well toward the top with net gains of 74@l*4c on wheat, -Va@ %c on corn, VA®ViC on oats and Vs ® %c on rye. Houses with eastern connections were persistent buyers of wheat, es pecially the July. Some of the buying was attributed to short covering for a local operator who is now in Flo rida, while others expressed the view that it represented reinstating of lines by eastern traders who sold out late in December. There was an excellent class of selling on the bulge and trade was large at times, but the prices of the day were made toward the last. Liverpool Strong. Foreign news and -developments attract more attention. Liverpool showed unex pected strength and gained 101V6d in the fare of a sharp upturn In sterling, the actual net galng being equal to l%c per bushlel for wheat. Export de mand was extremely slow, with some re selling of Manitobas How afloat at eastern lake ports by French interests and by sea board exporters. Milling demand was fair, with values firm. Some color was given to the rumor that a message fa voring farm legislation, would be issued shortly, by the strength in durums which gained l?»c at Duluth and led the advance. Dry weather reports are increasing from Kansas and Nebraska. Houses that tvero active on the buying side of wheat were also free buyers of corn ami were instrumental In bringing about tHe advance. Selling was of an ex cellent class and headed by local op erators who were the best buyers around 70c for May recently, the latter believ ing that the upturn had been too fast. There was no signs of a letup in the de mand for cash corn from outside mar kets. which persistently outbid Chicago in the interior. Shipping demand was bet ter, with sales of 275,000 bushels, includ ing 170,OpO bushels to exporters. Uccetpts, 401 cars. Oats were influenced mainly by the ac tion of corn. Trade was largely local. Re ceipts. 82 cars, with shipping sales 110,000 bushels. Strength in wheat was reflected In rye only to a moderate extent. Export de mand was absent. The two horthwestern markets received 119 cars. Pit Notes. Local sentiment in wheat and corn was mixed at the close with the ten dency toward the bear side. A grent deal of realising was on around the top. and apparently well taken. The short inter est is said to have been reduced, and at the same time there has been an ac cumulate. which creates a feeling in cer tain quarters that prospect of war in Eu roep is creating a belief that wheat may do better. Until this feeling changes there is a disposition on the part of many traders to buy on breaks. A good many traders who have been bullish and long on corn were liberal sell ers late today while several of the largest shorts were heavy buyers around 73c for May. Those who took profits said that corn looked high enough for the present, and that while the impression prevails that eastern hit everts have accumulated a big line it will take time to demonstrate the correctness of their position, i If right, prices may go higher, while should they be wrong It may be hard to get out with out a decline in prices Lower grades of cash corn weakened at the last with the country offering more corn. Outside markets continue to draw corn away from Chicago with bWs of l%@5y&c over those sent out from Chicago, the outside figure being offered for No. 3 white to go to Louisville. Omaha re ported 200,000 bushels corn bought to ar rive at equal to 74l*o, track Chicago which was 1@2 over local spot prices at the time. Owing lo the large receipts of grain at Minneapolis of late congestion prevails at some of the elevators there and buying of cash grain has slackenfil in consequence. Delay in the arrival of o« *»an vessels at Baltimore as the result of had weather Is said to have been responsible for the ltufoorous embargoes issued of late against shipments cf grain to that port. The Pennsylvania, is said to have 3,000,000 bushels grain in elevators there. 1,000,000 bushels on- track. 3,000,000 bushels In transit and 2,000,000 bushels under permit. When the vessels arrive a quick clean up of the congestion is expected. Heavy clearances of grain from Argen tina are expected to begin in the imme diate future. Exports of wheat for the Week are estimated at 1.850,000 bushels against 585.000 bushels last year and of corn 4,400.000 bushels, against 1,311,000 bushels last year. Farm reserves of wheat January 1. as given by Goodman are 214.000,000 bush els. or 24 9 per cent of the crop, compared with a normal of 20 per cent. Mill ami elevator stocks aggregate 113,000,000 bush els, or 14 per cent In excess of last year. After allowing for • fair carryover at the end of the season, he estimates that the United States has 130.000,000 bushels wheat available for export during the next six months.

Without any great increase in the business done, the previous day's advance on the Stock Exchange was emphasized. Sterling rose to $4.67 7-8, a rate 3 l-2c higher than that of the day when the Paris conference adjourned and barely lc below the period’s high record. Wheat advanced lc a bushel, and an ad vance of nearly half a cent a pound in cotton carried the spot price to a new high record since 1920. Exchange on the entente countries of continental Europe did not move with sterling: rates on J’aris, Rome and Berlin lost part of the preceding day's advance. Perhaps more signi ficant than the action of francs at New York, however, was today's1 movement of sterling at Paris in favor of tile French market. The two last days the pound sterling has fall en on that market from 68.55 francs to 67.73. No doubt there are numer ous particular causes for the recent recovery in the foreign exchanges— though today's theory that Berlin had been drawing on its New York bal ances to make settlement with Franco was firing pretty wild. France ( aim. But Wall Street ran hardly be mistaken In Its recent acceptances of the rising rates, as evidence, that In the judgment «»f international finance the movement to the Ruhr is not being taken ns a gravely alarming turn to the situation. As the more experienced financial watchers read the European cables today, the forward step appears to have disclosed France en tirely calm, England a curious, and not wholly unsympathetic spectator, the Amer ican government In a mood of rather fu tile uncertainty, the German government complaining more in a tone of fretfulness than of any fixed resolution. No surprise will be expressed at the falling money rates after reading today’s federal reserve statement. Rediscounts have been reduced $115,600,000 in the week, although they had made no net increase "during Pecember. Note circula tion is decreased $98,300,000, mailing $142. 400,000 reduction In the fortnight, which is $8,000,000 greater than the December expansion. Outstanding notes are now at the smallest total since the third week of November. Even the gold reserve has risen $13,200,000, the largest increase in five weeks. Wall Street Top lei*. The petroleum stocks continued to hold a dominating position In the stock mar ket today, with sharp gains reported in both the independent and some of the Standard Oil companies On the Stork Exchange the most prominent issue* in cluded California Petroleum, which sold at 80s*. a new high record. Associated Oil. Cosden & Co.. Pan-American Petroleum and some of the smaller companies. In the outside market the features included Prairie Oil and Gas, Standard Oi! of Ken tucky. Standard of Nebraska and Standard of Ohio. Trading in the stock of the Stutz Mo tor Car company has been more active during the last week, resulting in an advance in the stock today to 222%. the highest, at which it has sold in many months. The advance, in part, is due, no doubt, to the rumors circulated ns to the future outlook of the company as the result of the showing of a new car at the annual motor show, now in progress, but in addition reports were revived in the financial district that efforts would soon be made to have the stock listed on the New York Stock Exchange. The stock was supended from the ex ( hange a few years ago, when Allan A. Ryan brought about a corner in the whares and bid the stock up to almost $400 a share before it was suspended. Reports were current in the financial district to the effect that an official an nouncement of the proposed merger of the Anaconda and Chile Copper companies could be expected In the near future. Inquiry at the Anaconda offices brought forth the information that no statement would be issued at this time. The char acter of the buying today, according to some market observers. Indicated that it came from no-called insiders, indicating that the transaction will be closed within the near future.
