Chicago Gram
Chicago, Jan. 13.—Bearish senti
ment predominated in the grain mar
kets early, with a break of 1 l-4c in
May wheat from the finish of the
previous day, getting down to
11.17 3 4, but as has been the case
of late, excellent buying developed
at 11.18 and under, and the surplus
was taken off the market. A sharp
bulge in all grains followed and the
finish was unchanged to l-2c higher
on wheat, with corn up 7-8 @lc, oats
l-8ffl-4c, and rye l-8c.
Grain markets fluctuated in a most
erratic manner the past week. Sen
timent was bearish the greater part
of the time, but on the breaks there
was persistent buying and the finish
was well toward the top on corn and
at intermediate figures on wheat and
oats. Net gains for the week were
1 l-4@3 l-2c on wheat, 2<8,2 3-Sc on
corn, 1-4@1 l-8c on oats and 1 l-8c
on rye. Lard gained 7 1-2@12 l-2c
and ribs 10@22 l-2c.
short* Hunt Cover.
Ther* was nothing in the general run
of news to account for the buying of
wheat, but on th* break the market
acted oversold and there was general
short covering by local traders. Commis
sion houses sold early and some of them
turned to the buying side on the decline.
There was ion« buying of futures for
seaboard account, presumably a reflec
' tion of export business, some sales being
made abroad.
Foreign political developments were not
of a class to bring In any material In
crease In outside buying, and a good part
of the trade throughout the day was of
a local character. Dry weather continues
In the southwest, with som# freezing amt
thawing In central Illinois which led to
apprehension of damage.
Price* Close Strong.
Many of the local traders were on the
bull side of corn and while prices were off
Ho early with wheat, theer was persistent
buyjng and with limited pressure prices
advauced readily to within a fraction of
the best figures of the week, closing well
toward the top. Sentiment in corn gener
ally Is much less bearish than on wheat.
There was some export business with Eu
rope from the seaboard and receipts here
were readily absorbed. Country offerings
remain light with outside markets per
sistently outbidding Chicago down state.
Oats declined early in sympathy with
corn, but rallied with that grain later
and closed firm. Receipts were light and
shipping demand fair.
Rye failed to show independent strength
and, while lower early, rallied later on
local buying. Export demand showed im
provement with some sales made at the
seaboard. The two northwestern markets
had 124 enrs.
Pit Note*.
There ha* been a great deal of evening
up of trade In all grain* by operators in
general. Leading operator* who were
right on the constructive side during the
recent advance are looking for lower prices
and most of the local element are bearish
on wheat and moderately bullish to bear
ish on corn. About all the big local lines
have been let go and they await a good
break before getting in again. They see
nothing at the moment to induce buying
for more than a quick turn.
Joe Schriner, who has been active on
the bull side of corn for two weeks, sold
out two days ago and was the largest In
dividual buyer today, assisting In ad
vancing price*. He had little opposition
from any class of sellers. Houses nearest
the country are not expressing positively
bullish opinion* on the bull side of corn
at present.
Wheat traders call attention to the ab
sorption of wheat .on breaks and the read
iness of value* to advance when orders
appear. They are unable to fully explain
the market’s action and they are disposed
to accept the theory that someone is tuk
lng grains on breaks.
Those who are friendly to the buying
side of grains on breaks regard the war
situation is tho basic foctor on which to
look for better markets. They argue that
should all Europe become Involved In war
it will be difficult to fight and raise
crops at the same time, when values of
foodstuff* should adance in all surplus
producing countries.
W. M. Flbl© of Houston, FIble & Co.
and W. M. Diltz of Dilts & Morgan, Kan
sas City, who recently failed, have been
suspended from the Chicago Board of
Trade under the Insolvency rule. Ths ac
tion of the directors wag taken at a spe
cial masting today.

Financial
New York. Jan. IS.—Not unnatural
ly, the week of unexpectedly strong
markets ended the day with more or
less tendency to moderate reaction.
Quite aside from the Wall street tra
dition of "clearing up speculative
commitments" at the week end, the
position was of markets which had
anticipated and discounted favorable
results in a more or less obscure
European situation and whose in
stinct would probably be, at least, to
call a bait over Sunday.
It Is not to be denied that opinion
regarding tho outcome of that situa
tion, political or financial, has shifted
considerably since the early days of
the week, when the rising market
was watched incredulously. A good
many more people could be found to
day than were In evidence Monday,
who discussed the “move Into the
lluhr” an a practical step which
might end by solving Instead of com
plicating tho problemi of reparations
and moratoriums. •
French Bonds Lower.
Probably for slmlalr reasons French
government bonds wont a fraction lower.
On th# other hand, wheat, whose declines
week before last w'er* popularly ascribed
to the "unsettling policy of France." end
ed the week distinctly strong. Spot cot
ton. In particular, went to 27.80c a
pound as against 27.46c the day before
and the high price of 26.80 for 1922. To
day's spot price is the highest sine© Sep
tember, 1920, and, what Is perhaps more
significant, prices of contracts for deliv
ery in distant future months were at that
time 2 or 3 cents a pound below the near
by deliveries, whereas now tho distant
months bring a premium over January
contracts.
This fairly distinguishes the character
of the cotton situation at the two peri
ods. There is no mystery about the
cotton position and. whether present
prices are to be looked upon as too high
or not, the recent theory that the prices
ought to fall pecau.se of the French ad
vance on Essen was absurd. How absurd
the theory was in the case of wheat may
be Judged from the fact that when wheat
was falling, the Chicago speculators said
it was demoralized by Europe's political
crisis and that when it recovered some
what violently, they said It was rising on
the prospect of war
Wall Street Topics.
An advance of 10 cents a barrel In the
price of all grades of midcontinent crude
oil and establishment of a new' grade of
41 gravity or better which will sell at
$2.10 a barrel, was announced by the
Prairie Oil & Gas Co., the largest factor
In the middlewest, accordingto advices
received in Wall Street today. The ad
vance was met by the Sinclair Crude Oil
Purchasing Co., and the Texas Co., also
large buyers of crude oil In the section
mentioned. Predictions have been made
in the financial district, that an advance
In midcontinent crude could bo expected
in the near future.
Interests In the financial district, which
have been watching the testimony taken
in Washington In connecion wih the sen
ate's investigation into the oil Industry,
are wondering what will result from the
maze of Information thus far given to
the committee, all of which ha* been
known to the world as a result of the
booklets published from time to time cov
ering the operations of the Standard Oils.
In fact eye-witnesses declare that the sen
ate representatives have copies of these
booklets before them when asking ques
tions. A member of the committee will
look at the booklet, "discover" an item,
unt^lhen ask if it is true. The answer
to the question has been public property
for years in some instances, consequently
I he answers given to the committee are
in the affirmative.
Specialists in American Telephone *
Telegraph stock evinced much interest
in the official estimate of earnings of the
company for 1922, made by H. B. Thayer,
president. This was the first official com
ment on the year’s operation as a whole,
although traders have been computing
the company’s probable showing from
month to month as the earnings state
ments were issued. While complete earn
ings figures have not yet been fully tabu
lated, it was stated that they would show
a "substantial margin above dividend re
quirements." The report is expected to
be Issued in the near future.
The National Biscuit company for tho
year ended December 31, 1922, reports
net earnings of $11,024,930 after all taxes
nnd other charges, including operating
expenses. After allowing for the pre
ferred dividends, the balance available for i
the new $51,163,000 common stock of $25
a share par value was equal to $4.63 a
ehare on the entire Issue. Current divi
dends amount to $3 a share annually. In {
tho previous year the company reported
net earnings of $5,677,461, which after
preferred dividends, was equal to $13.48 a
share on the $29,236,000 old common
stock of $100* a share then outstanding.

War Clouds in Kurope
Boost Price of Wheat
Chicago. Jan. 13.—With war posslblll
11 ch in Kurope as a background, the
wheat market has shewn a tendency to
ward higher prices, most of the time this
week. The not advance this morning, as
compared with a week ago, ranged from
**c to i%c a bush*!, with corn up *-4o to
1*. and oats varying from *£c decline to
l»W ‘Sc gain. The week s changes m pro
visions extended from a shade off to a
rise of 20c.
Wheat traders appeared to b« Ignoring
to a large extent the previous current
view that foreign financial conditions in
dicated sharp curtailment of breadstuff
buying, on tho part of Germany in par
ticular.
With French troops on tho move In tlis
Ruhr, the old time opinion was acted up
on that such events meant as a rule
higher prices for grain.
As the week drew to a close, almost
complete absence of export business in
wheat had a countervailing Influence and
profit-taking aales wiped out to a con
siderable degree the gains which had
preceded
Jt was pointed out that tho present
cost of a single cargo of wheat to Ger
many. ns figured in marks, would equal
the entire* German national debt before
the world war. On the other hand,
would-be speculative sellers of wheat
were* somewhat Inclined to caution ns the
result of an increasing unfavorable crop
outlook for domestic winter wheat.
Corn nnd oats sympathized with the
wheat advancs.
