Omaha Grain
Omaha. Fob. 3.
Total receipts of grain at Omaha
wert 141 cars against 13S cars last
year. Total 124 «ars as compared
with 154 cars a year ago.
Omaha cash wheat was in fair de
mand at the going, prices being a
rent lower than yesterday. Corn mov
ed slowly unchanged to l-4o lower.
Oats were unchanged to 3-4c lower.
The bulk of sales being made at 3 4c
low'er. Rye was quoted unchanged,
and barley nominally unchanged
Below zero weather in the southwest
was instrumental in making higher
prices for wheat at the start of the
Chicago futures market, the effect eb*
ing principally in the new crop
months, coarse gains sympathizing to
some extent. On the bulge local trad
era were free sellers and a setback
was witnessed, hut around inside fig
ures commission houses were good
buyers and stopped the decline. Fi
nal prices were about the same as
last night’s close.

i Chicago, Feb. 3.—Gram prices held
| Within comparatively narrow limits
from the start, but dispite weekend
evening up on the part of scattered
longs toward the last, the undertone
was relatively firm and at the close
wheat was unchanged to 3 So higher,
torn unchanged to l-4c lower, the
latter on September, oats unchanged
to 11c higher and rye unchanged.
While practically all the news nf
j fcc ting wheat values the pa*t week
was of a distinctly bearish character,
! the market was little affected. Good
buying developed on all the breaks |
| and at the last net gains were 1^ j
1 3 4c as compared with the previous;
j week. Corn was strong the greater j
| part of the time and with damage.
claims from Argentina net gains were j
1 7-8@2c. Oats were up l-2@7-8e,
and rye 7 8e. Provisions were un
settled, lard declining 15®20c, and
riba 2 1*2.
Fair Selling Early.
Wheat traders were disappointed over
the failure to add the foreign credit bill
to the T-enroot art when !t was parsed
by the senate find there was fair selling
■ t May early, but on the breaks commis
sion houses bought and offerings were
r.Hflilv absorbed. July showed more
•strength than the May, due to spreading
operations and also on buying Induced by
.i . old whv ov r the winter wheat belt
whlrh eaught the crop without snow pro
tect Ion.
Kxport demand for North American
wheat showed no improvement despite a
strong upturn in foreign exchange. Liver
l-ool elot-od unchanged on predictions of
smaller N >rth American clearances. A
private raid*- estimated the Argentina
surplus at 117.000.000 bushels, or 31,000.000 :
bush-da under the recent official figures. (
t orn Vnderfone Firm.
M'hlle corn values failed to get shove i
the outside figures of the previous day, |
the undertone was very firm and on th* :
dips there was persistent buying by com- I
mission houses. Locals were mixed In 1
their views and there were numerous I
small breaks In sympathy with wheat.
Country offerings remain light and there
was evidence of a. fair export business at |
the seaboard. Conflicting reports were |
received regarding moisture in Argentina
and Buena Aires clsed 1c higher t Vjc j
lower.
Oats pricey held within a range of about
*,r. nit.i trad- light May was for sale I
{•round 4. which checked the advance. I
The trade looked for the visible supply
Monday to show relatively little change
Trad" In t>« "as not large and the
market whs Influenced largely by the ac
tion of wheat. The two north west <*m
markets had 97 cars Export demand was
slow.
Pit Note*.
While May wheat r owed a rather easy
undertone, there were indication* of a
change in sentiment in some quarter* with
a few prnoun 'd bulb- to he found after
fho close. The . ontinued failure of the
market to decline in the face of the hear
th n u ia attraet.ng increased attention
ami with the crop scare period only a

}, * here e\en though no export business
In North American wheat was reported,
Other traders continue to look for n
sharp break in wheat prices in the not
distant future and say that until the mar
ket has had its break and discounted the
present situation there is no use in taking
the buying side.
Bullish sentiment in corn Is increasing ;
and while there was considerable week **nd
profit taking by smaller longs the leading
operators were strongly of the opinion
that a 11 recessions In prb es should be
taken advantage of to make purchases.
In soma quarters surprise was expressed
that outside business has not increased
f tster than it has in view of the domestic
situation. According to the bulls the
market will ultimately sell much higher
regardless of the size of the now Argen
tine corn crop.
Should present cold weather continue

Financial
New York, Feb. 3.—Evidence of a
pretty definite kind was presented in
today's transactions of tlie extent to
which speculation for the fall has
been the dominant influence in the
past fortnight’s foreign exchange
market. The easily outstanding
movement of the day was the rise in
European rates, which carried ster
ling up 1 3-4o, francs nearly a third
of a cent, and other exchanges sym
pathetically. At today’s best fig
ures, both sterling and francs sold
at the highest in two weeks, the franc
having actually recovered nearly 3-4c
in three days, a percentage recovery
of 12 3-4.
Even more impressive was the
course of the franc and the pound
sterling on the London and Paris
markets. It was manifestly at Lon*
don that last week's early selling of
the franc was heaviest, the price of
•sterling measured in francs going
from 73.40 a week ago to 80.HO on
Wednesday. From that abnormal fig
ure it had returned today to 72.80.
Wild Speculator# Blamrd.
Sinr# there ha# been no radical change
of any kind in the Franco-German im
broglio during the whole of this period,
the conclusion la Irresistible that, at least
the movenment against French exchange
last week was the work of wildly excited
and highly Irresponsible speculators.
On the Stock Exchange the week ended
with rising price#, the net changes for
the week, however, presenting curious ir
regularity. though with net advances pre
dominating and aojue of them very con
, siderable. Even outside of the French
! and Belgian loans, today's bond market
advanced. Bonds of foreign countire.s not
Involved In tho Ruhr fracas, made, in
numerous cases, respectable advances;
railway and company bonds went frac
tionally higher, and comparisons for the
week as a whole show almost without ex
ception net advances ranging: from frac
tions to 2 or 3 per cent. Most of the
liberty bonds closed today at 4 4
I point above th* previous Saturday. Their
advance today was considerable, although
Irregular, the fourth 41* scoring the rather
unusual rise of more than 4 point. This
was evidently a response to the provision,
in the debt commission’s tentative nr
langement of th* British debt, that any
T’nited States bonds issued since we went
to war, may be used by England to meet
| the payment# on her debt to the treas
, ury. The interrestlng proviso, if ap
i proved by congress, would apparently
j mean that neither the I-lberty nor the
Victory bonds nor the treasury bonds of
19::. 'could thereafter fall much below
par. It would also mean that the dif
ferences in prices of the variou# issues,
based on long* r or shorter maturities,
would necer ‘ "“'l
Wall Street Not*#.
Buying ot thiIiojh! securities ’which
figured in a general advance ranging
from fractions to nearly 2 points, < was
largely inspired because of P***11’'',
reports of January levenue car loading*
The Atchison. Topeka & Santa Ke, for • n
nmple, reported an increase in loadings
over January of one year ago of 37 per
cent, while substantial gains were re
ported for January. 1923. by Illinois Cen
tral, an increase of 33 per cent bringing
the 1923 figures into new high ground
for that month; Chicago Sc Eastern^ Illi
nois. up 20 4 per cent; Chicago Sc North
western up 32 per cent for the biggest
January In five years; Chicago, Burling
ton A- Quincv up 31 per cent. and Chicago,
Rock Island & Pacif'.e up 134 per cent.
According to observer# of the political
situation a subtle change is evident
j throughout the country in the attitude of
! the public toward ’are* oorporntions, not
J s*': • piddle Utllit * s i rd r. lltoad J- -
| acriytloua. Not many years ago, accoid
I In* to th*?* observers. It w*i tb* Tot*
g*rt;ng thin* to do for politicians to »*•
mm* a. Jack-a n«f-the-Olant attitude to
ward th* largo corporations and than to
pro* e*d to the playing. l»ut today a large
percentage of the public consist* of bold
er* of publicity and railroad securities and
those, newly developed "capitalists’ have
<>n several occasions of record interfered
with th* plans of politicians to return to
1 the prewar methods of vote-getting which
I wore then so successful,
j Little confidence was evident In con
! «ervative banking nuarters today that pub
i nshed report? concerning the popsibllttlea
| of >an Austrian loan would materialize
I'capita the seeming optimistic tone which
has been the aftermath of the disposi
tion of th* English debt funding plan,
tank'-r* who have had considerable ex
perience in negotiating foreign loans
i made it char today that Europe was in
far too dedicate a- position to permit of
I concrete talk about lending money. An
other complication, it was pointed out
by one close observer of international af
fairs. would be the difficulty of advanc
ing money to Auatrla without aj. the
same time becoming implicated In a Ger
man loan.
Arbucklr Brothers and th* Federal Su
gar Refining company today announced
further advances of 10 points in the price
of refined sugir to C.90o :i pound whole
.-ule. This is 10 points below’ the price
uuoted by ♦ho American Sugar Refining
company and other local companies.

properties securing this issue, and in addition
the borrowers own 486 horses and 830 hogs.

cate the diversified security that would ordi
narily he obtained by making a large and

securing this issue are located in productive
sections, and each borrower lives in a differ
ent locality and beyond the reach of any local
disaster.
