I MARKET, FINANCIAL AND INDUSTRIAL NEWS OF THE DAY_i Omaha Grain | Omaha, Jan. 24. Receipts at Omaha totaled 163 cars against 95 cars last year. Total shipments were 132 cars as compared with 147 cars a year ago. A better demand was in evidence on the Omaha market and wheat sold 11-2 to 2 cents higher. Corn sold readily at 1-2 to 1 1-2 cents up; oats were strong 1 cent higher.. Rye was quoted 1-2 to 1 cent up and barley strong and unchanged A lower Liverpool market caused some easiness at the start but the market turned upwards almost im mediately and ruled strong and high er scoring a good advance for May wheat and corn and oats. New crop deliveries of wheat were inclined to drag owing to a forecast for snow in the southwest. Offerings were l.ght on the way up and prominent commission house buying was in duced by the news that a favorable report had been made on the foreign credit bill and that an effort would be made to pass it this session.

I_ Chicago Grain Chicago, Jan. 24.—A favorable re* J port on the foreign grain credit bill by . the senate committee combined with j short covering, made a much stronger 1 undertone in the grain markets, j Pressure was less pronounced and sentiment underwent ;l slight change. , Wheat closed 7-8c higher to lc lower, I the latter on September, while corn was up 3-4@lc‘, onts 7 Rc and rye l-2c. There was some selling of wheat at | the start by commission houses which made an opening decline of as much j as 3-4c\ but at no time did the market I show pronounced weakness and there I was persistent buying by houses with I eastern connections on the dips and j 1 he local element were less disposed | to press the bear side despite a break j of l-4d. in Liverpool in the face of an ■ advance here Tuesday. Sprfftdfr» Active. Spreaders wore active in selling May "'beat at Minneapolis and buying here, and there was also selling of July here against purchases at Winnipeg. Mav at Mlnncap <lls closed l-3r under Chicago, against premium the previous day. and Chicago July went to 5 % c tinder May. against 47*e on Tuesday. Export de mand was rather inactive, although some hard winter afloat was sold abroad A l-etfpr cash demand was reported in the southwest, with some inquiry for flour for export. Dry weather continues in western Kansas and Oklahoma. with the forecast for snow in the two state# over night. Bullish sentiment in corn was somewhat more pronounced than of late, the gov ernment report on the number of bogs op farms with the foreign grain credit bill bringing in fair commission house and local buying and at the top May showed I * e over the low of the previous day. Country offerings are small and receipts hire light There was a fair export de mand at the seaboard and New York re ported premium# on rash grain lc higher. Arrivals, ITU cars. Cash and commission houses bought May oats and with only moderate pres sure Shipping demand only fair. ('on siderable oats seeding has already been done in Texas, where recent rains were highly beneficial Receipts. *’>3 ears. Ryo market was rather dull and there j was ar. absence of aggressive export do- | mand, but with wheat higher an advance I was easily attained. Th • two northwest-' ern markets received 193 curs. Pit Notes. There was a somewhat le*# bearish sentiment noticeable among wheat trad ers after the close. While tin* advance in the May was regnrded ns largely duo to short i overiirg which had weakened the technical position, there was a belief | that the snttmoenlal effect of the favor able report of the senate committe on ! the $25O,ftnft,Q0fl foreign grain bill would | bring about a further upturn before sales i w'ould be in onlpr again. A majority of commission houses can see nothing at the moment to bring about a sustained ad vance. Wheat has still to go through its period of readjustment to the basis of the situation g'vcn to the trade by Bartlett Frazier & i'o Attention is called to the fact that while corn is up 5R 5 per cent a# compared with last year, wheat prices have advanced less than 1 per cent on an average. decreased production is ex pected until such time w. the readjust ment occurs. Pry weather is Argentine is liecoming i a factor in the corn mnrket. as many traders see it. and calls attention to the! fact the prices in Buenos Aire* are up ! 4c since Friday. January is tho critical | period of growth oc corn in that country. , Rainfall over tho central gulf state* i and the lower Mississippi and Ohio val- ! leys was highly beneficial the past week, j according to the government weekly | weather and crop report. Wheat in west - j ern Kansas and Oklahoma is suffering from lack of moisture. Wheat and oats | making poor growth in Texas. Wheat continue? in good condition in Missouri, 1 Illinois, Indiana. Kentucky and eastward. A circular favoring the proposed amend ment to the rules of the board of trade creating the position of assistant to the president has been sent to the trade : signed by 35 prominent members of the exchange.

Financial New York, Jan. 24.—-Practically all financial markets lapsed into inertia and purposeless fluctuations today, evidently wearied with alternation of violent up and down movements which had turned out to have no basis except rumor. Even the foreign ex change market pretty much lost the power of initiative. The day's changes in European rates were neither uni form nor important. It i sa favorite tradition i f Wall street that wjien an speculative market comes to a dead halt after a violent swing in one di rection. its next movement is likely to be in the opposite direction. Not only have none of the predic tions of i fortnight ago materialized, whether favorable or unfavorable, but there is no indication of when or how their correctness will be really tested. If the Gorman resistance had been a little less cautiously applied, tangible results might be in sight. If. how ever, the present conjunction of the irresistible force and the immovable body continues a little longer, it Js possible that both the preliminaries and the markets will be discussing practicable compromise. Sterling Advances. Today's foreign exchange market gave no sign of it; the only rale which really moved, was for the pound sterling at Paris, advancing f*n centimes after hav ing fallen a full franc on Tuesday and advanced nearly 2 francs on Monday. Such gyrations hardly indicate anything but excited speculation which is not sure of its own mind. European stock mark, ets were quiet and steady today; our own, with business only a little larger than the very small trading of the two preced ing days, moved uncertainly, advances and declines, mostly fractional, being about equal numerically. During part of the day the recovery in railway shares, which had attracted some attention on Tuesday, was carried further, but this too l<«st it« momentum before the close. The weekly car-loading re port, as published today, threw' some fresh light on the railway situation. The total was not only much the largest of any week since the middle of December end 160,000 cars or 22 per cent above the same week in 1922, but it far ex ceeded the corresponding week in any year since the war. Wall Street Notes. Despite various claims of railway execu tives that their company unions were working smoothly and turning out re pair work as efficiently and expeditiously ly as in prestrike days, reports have filt ered Into 11m financial district that sabot age in widespread and \irulent form In still evident on many roads. An inspec tion of the reports of certain roads, it was explained, would allow' an absence of equipment, an absence of power, delayed 11 a importation and sabotage, a situation which w’as said to he largely responsible for the necrislty of embargoes of freight. Directors of several large industrial companies announced action on dividend] payments today. In most instances, the action was favorable, but in the case of Standard of California, the 60c dividend was considered a disappointment and caused some selling of the stock The dividend declared is just half that paid by the company previous to the 100 per cent stock dividend late in 1922. In well ir. formed quarters the action was ex pected. hut it was predicted that larger dividends would be paid later in the year, when the, surplus nil now on hand Is liquidated. Pressed Steel Car directors to day declared the regular dividend on the preferred stock; no action was taken on the common, but this was not t; ken seri ously. Wall street, however, is waiting the common dividend announcement. Hudson Motors directors declared another extra dividend of 26c a shar\ while Standard Milling company declared divi dends at the rate of $5 a. share annually, ao compared with $S a share paid previous to the 60 per cent stock dividend. Wall afreet had n story that an even more serious situation is brewing on the other side of the Atlantic than the mar kets on tills side or in* London would lead the world to believe. It is true that the news of the past 24 hours has not thrown a groat deal of light on the tangled situation, but in some hanking houses there was a report that France is ready to dispatch an ultimatum to Ger many. demanding that it comply with reparations terms and fixing an absolute date for (he compliance.

New York Bonds New York.

Strength of tax exempt securities, on | adoption by the house of representatives of a resolution to submit to the states a constitutional amendment prohibiting fur ther issuance of entirely tax exempt is sues, was one of the features. Liberty 3*35, the only wholly tax exempt war issue, advanced 62c on $100 to $101.86 a ml the new 4’,9 got back to par but the other active United States government se curities show*»l losses of 2 to 12c.
