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.

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.

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 r. w* \c . u i away, there i* a disposition to 1. oh f- ' active buying on nil decline*.

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.

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.
