MARKET, FINANCIAL AND INDUSTRIAL NEWS OF THE DAY | Omaha Grain January 16, 1928. Total receipts at Omaha were 134 car* as compared with 309 cars last , year. Total shipments were 134 cars against 182 cars a year ago. Cash grain on the Omaha floor was m good demand and the samples were < leaned up early, wheat going at gen erally 2 cents higher than yesterday. Com sold readily 3-4c to l-2c higher. Oats were generally 3-4c up. Rye was quoted 1 cent higher, and barley 1 * ent up. Wheat prices were strong today due mainly to a lack of offerings and buy er!* were forced to %id the market up to obtain any grain. Corn and oats trailed wheat. Commission houses with seaboard and foreign connections were the buyers. The unsettled politi cal situation in Europe being the fea ture of the news. The sc^ithwest con tinues dry with no hope for relief in sight. WHEAT. No. 1 dark hard. 1 car, smutty, $1.17. No. dark'..hard: 1 car. smutty, $1.19. No. 1 hard winter: 1 car, $1.13.

New York Row Sugar. New York. Jan. 16.—A heavy increase in receipts of raw sugar st Cuban ports brought out a desire on the part of some holders to realize on some of their sugar. This brought about a decline of 1-16 of a cent to 3Hc cost and freight, equal to a duty paid price of 5.28c. About 75.060 bags Cubas sold at this price for afoat. prompt and second half January i Iearanee. refiners having been the buy ers.

T-~ Chicago Grab Chicago, Jan. 16.—Warlike develop ments in Europe more than offset bearish statistics on grain and with free short covering and buying l>y houses with eastern connections prices moved up rapidly to a new high on the present movement. While there was considerable real ising on the bulge the close was firm with net gains of 1 1-2@2 l-2o on wheat, 1 l-4c on corn. 3-8@7-8c on oats, and 1 3-8c on rye. Saptltaber wheat sol’d at a new high Tor the j-aeon Strength In Liverpool, which closed Illc higher was the basis for the early buying here. There was eome buying for foreign account and also by exporters, and while some of the local | ciemcnt were Inclined to fight the advance there was general abort covering toward tile loss, some of the largest of the local professionals coming In on the bulge. Renting orders to sell were encountered at $1.20 for May and again at $1.21. Delay In the movement of Argentine wheat waa responsible for the upturn In | Liverpool. Dry weather reports are in I creasing from the southwest with some buying of July for country account, An | increase of .'1.246,000 bushel* in the world * I v 1sIb 1 e supply made the total 193,80.5,000 bushels, or 20.000,000 bushels mor»> than | last year. Fxport demand showed tm I provement with sales of over 750.000 I bushels. There was no material pressure In the corn market until May got above 74c. a I new high on the present upturn and the I figure uo far this year. Local bull* | were persistent buyer* early and later the east came In on the buying side. Selling j by a local professional who has been help ing along the advance of late checked the upturn. rjry weather prevail* in Argeu [ tlna and rain* are needed for the new crop. Considerable cash corn was understood to | have been taken by export*. Ca«h corn at the ln«t was Ignored as no outside markets continue to materially outbid Chicago. Receipt* 267 car*. A fair trade was on in oats with some covering by short* on the way up with the strength In corn the main Influence. Domestic shipping demand waa fair with sales 172,000 bushels. Receipts 67 car*. House* with northwestern connections were persistent seller* of ryo but with wheat strong local traders were rather ag grssjve buyers at time* and an advance was easily attained. A fair export busi ness wag put through at the seaboard The two northwestern markets received 116 cars. I’ll Note*. M'heat a( the high point today was up around 4c from the recent low point for May with a war scare on and the deposi tion on the part of a number of the larger professionals to buy freely on all dips. The only opposition the past two day* has como mainly from the pit clement who have been bearish and fought the advance during the dry and covered at the last, making the closing bulge. So long as trailers fear war in l’urope the construc tive side 1* regarded many as the safest on breaks. A late report that Germany had de clared war on France was largely re sponsible for the buying and advance in oil grains. War conditions of late have checked short selling on the part of the general trade and brought enough new* buying to more than offset opposition from local Interests and ha* helped to advance all grains, creating n better feeling But there is a disposidon to go alow on tho buying side of bulges. ^There has*been a large and apparently Inexplainable disappearance of wheat in the United States so far this season. A. L. RurscH, the New York statistician In discussing this Question said Interior re ceipts In 28 weeks were 312.000,000 bushels against 289.000.000 bushels last year. The \islble supply Increased IJkOOO.OOO bushel* during this period agfflnst 36,000,000 bushels last year. After allawlng for Actual exports the apparent Increase In domentic disappearance of wheat over last year Is 87.000.000 bushels, of which 10, 000.000 bushels are accounted for in actual Increase in milling. The change in th* distribution is so large t would seem mills have drawn on primary centers for supplies in a much larger way than la9t year. Political complication* In Europe are commencing to offset business. A German cable to a New York exporter said all of fer* from Belgium and French shipper*, sellers and steamship* are excluded. Bids for cash corn from outside mar kets In Chicago territory figured out ®3^c better than those sent out from Chicago. In tho Lincoln (Neb.) territory, Kansas City wan said to have bid equal to 80c track, Chicago, for No. 2 yellow or white for 30 and 60-day shipment and bought only a few cars, although tho bids permitted 61*c per bushel to be paid at loading stations in southeastern Nebraska.

N'ew York, Jsn. 16.—The cotton market closed steady at a net decline of 24 to 30 points r— Financial New York, Jan. 16.—Today was the occasion in which the practical un certainties surrounding the French application of compulsion to Germany, opened the way to the familiar “mar ket rumor.” It was a quite inevitable stage of the episode but it probably seized on the markets in a more agi tating way because of last week’s ad vance in prices, under speculative aus pices. Today’s declines, in fact, where they were more than fractional, occurred for the most part in the stocks which were put up 2 or 3 points by profes sional operators when the French were moving towards Essen. The majority of the day’s declines were fractional and the total transactions decreased 200,000 shares from the day before. The foreign exchange market was naturally watched with more {merest than the stock market. Its movement caused some surprise to Wall street. Kates on all the principal European countries wav ered when the report of the *’25,000 Ger mar\ relchawehr troops In the neutral zone." embellished after Wall street habit, was first circulated; but a strikingly con flicting movement presently developed. Sterling went to a fraction above Mon day’s closing and franca not only ended at a advance for the day. but recovered half of the previous day’s ln6|| But tho German mark, which, meas ured in thousandths of a cent, had fallen on Monday from 93 to 71, made a further downward plunge to 69, ending at 03. On the basis of Intrinsic value. such cahnges may seem infinitesimal with 160 to 110 marks exchanging for one Ameri can coni; nevertheless, the fact remains of a depreciation of more than 35 per cent within 4M hours In the international value of the German currency. It would be difficult to guess how much this extraordinary movement should be ascribed to the throwing upon the market of the mass of paper tnarks held by unlucky speculators of Holland, Eng land, America and the rest of the out side world, and how much to a frantic effort of the German people themselves, to convert their paper holdings into for eign currencies at any price. Tho day’s strength of other European exchanges would, perhaps, suggest the second ex planation The samo contradictory move ment occurred during some of the con vulsive declines in the mark last autumn when the simultaneous rise of exchange on markets, such as London, Amsterdam and Stockholm* clearly reflected conver sion of German paper Into those cur rencies. Financial Topics. Important developments surrounding the reorganisation and disposition of the Den ver & Rio Grande railroad—now' In re ceivership—are expected in the near fu ture. according to reports in the trans portation district today. It is understood that no material change has been effected In the tentative plan, apnounced recently, which would put the Denver & Rio Grande under the joint control of the Missouri Pacific and th« Western Pacific, with Missouri Pacific having the domi nant voice In the management. During the present week transportation quarters will probably focus much of their attention on the series of hearings sched uled before the Interstate Commerce com mission. According to information in the financial comtnunlty today the final argu ments in the Southern Pacific-Central Pacific case will be heard on Friday and Saturday. Aside from this, present plans. It Is understood, provide for a considera tion of matter of consolidations of the northwestern roads—the Great Northern. Northern Pacific, Burlington and St. Paul —earlier in the week with subsequent hearings on the following week on the Union Pacific-Northwestern and other con solidation groupings. Wall Street heard re ports today that a derision could be ex pected soon in the Southern Pacific-Central Pacific case. The success of the eastern roads !n handling the heavy coal traffic in recent months has permitted a modification of many of the embargoes on various prod ucts, according to reports today in rail way quarters. The majority of the roads. It was said, now’ operate on a "permit'* basis and the opinion was expressed thAt In the near future the carriers would he able to accept all freight, providing they coul.l keep their repair schedules going at the present rate of speed. It was reported in bond circles today that the new' isues of $50,000,000 7 per cent debentures, to be sold when the present issue $100,000,090 Anaconda 6s has been disposed of. will be convertible Into com mon stock of the Anaconda Copper mining company on a progressiva scale starting at 63.
