MARKET, FINANCIAL AND INDUSTRIAL NEWS OF THE DAY _| \ Omaha Grain Omaha receipts today were 170 car§ against 167 cars last year. Total ship ments were 106 cars against 176 cars a year ago. ^Demand for cash wheat on the Oma ha floor was very good, with prices 1 to 1 l-2c higher. Corn was a ready eale/un chan god to l-2c up, generally l-2c higher. Oats were generally un changed. Kye was\juoted l-4c up and barley firm and nominally unchanged. A lower rang© of values was wit nessed at the start of the Chicago futures market today. Prospects for moisture In tho winter wheat belt, Indifferent foreign cables and the opinion that the Turks would back down, were the influences that c aused some selling early. Later when the Turkish government announced that it was impossible to revoke their ultimatum, shorts became anxious buyers on a market bare of offerings arid prices went up quickly, scoring a new high level for wheat on this move and a new high level for the season for corn. On the advance there was heavy selling of corn to obtain profits. Near the close cables from Europe, presented a more optimistic view of the near east situation and most of the advance was lost. ftVHEAT.

All futures of corn and July oats sold at a new high for the season, both grains clos ing l-45yl-2c higher, while rye gained l-4@3-8c. There was rather persistent selling of May wheat by commission houses with eastern connections, especially above $1.23 for May, but on the re actions there wras good support, with evidence of a broadening in the out side interest and the advance was fairly well maintained. Bocal senti ment is mixed, but there is a lack >f confidence on the part of the bears and one local professional who sold early covered on the bulge. May Wheat Gain*. May wheat cloned 7V4«* over July, and ! has gained 2c on thnt delivery sine* the | close on Tuesday, while. Winnipeg May dropped (o 7 Vic. under Chicago, compared with 4l|c r short while ago. Demand t for cash wheat showed Improvement, with sales of 200.000 to 300,000 bushels at the seaboard and there were Intimations thnt. a good part of th* grain had been clean-d up. Liverpool close*! unchanged. 1 A liberal trade was on in corn, ’there has been a lark of pressure early, but nf 76 *4 c Hnd over for May cash houses sold against purchases of over 600,Oho bushels ! to arrive from the country, which checked the advance, hut tl# undertone was firm and the finish was at the highest close of the season. Sentiment remains die tjnctly bullish and while receipts are ex pected to increase considerably next week, due to the to-arrlve purchases the past few days, grain will not be for sale in the open market. Commission houses were persistent buyers of futures In small lots throughout the day. offsetting profit-tak ing to a great extent. Local arrivals, 227 cars. Drought and hot weather con tinues in Argentina and r private cable estimated the exportable surplus from the new crop at 100,000.000 bushels. Speculative Interest is increasing in oats, but selling at 45%c for May on rest ing orders checked the advance. At times the market showed relatively more strength than corn Kansas City reported Texa.i after oats there. Receipts. 70 cars. Cables vfrom abroad reported that Ger many had bought 2,400,000 bushels rye from Russia in the past few days and will pay for It with agricultural imple ments. Trade In futures was only fair and the strength In wheat was the main Influence. l*lt Note*. AH grain exrhanges in the United States will be closed Monday, Lincoln's birthday. Winnipeg and Liverpool will be open as usual. While a majority of commision houses express the belief that it would not be advisable i io follow advances in wheat with buying orders, they generally believe, that still higher prices will be witnessed. It is very noticeable that on th* breaks good support is forthcoming and white the market may be somewhat unsettled for a week or *t mlil* there was running 24 hour* (*. K, Lewis of Minneapolis pre db * that thla week will mark th* end of the increasing wheat stocks In that market. 'CHICAGO CLOSING TRICES. Rv Vprtlfcn drain Co. JA 2*47; AT. 8312. Art.

One was the un mistakable firmness of exchange rates, accompanied on the bond market by a fresh advance of 1V4 points In the^ French republic bonds, which brought them nearly 9 points above their low prices of January and within lVa point of the level at which they stood on the second of January, when the Paris conference assembled and hopes cf a settlement of the reparations problem were apparently bright. This extraordinary recovery is no doubt most Impressive as indicating the character of the "panic In French securities,” which prevailed a fort night ago. Today's strength in the bonds and In the exchange market had perhaps a particular interest from the mere fact that prices should have rlserf before the holidays. This could hnrdly have happened if the trend of financial Judgment had been that the Franco-German contest of endurance was likely to take a dan gerous turn. Numerous (mini. Tlie early stock market wai governed by continuance of the active demand of the day before, resulting for one thing in Another "million share” total, the fourth In aucreasiofi. During this ad v&nro there wero numcroua galna of a point or more. Some of them were whol ly or partly lost In the later sales to realize speculative profits, but many end ed around the best prices of the day. In Wall streets existing mood of mak ing the most of e-. try favorable occur rence. the certainty of a safe majority In congress for the British debt settlement s is an underlying motive. The disposing of this troublesome controversy will naturally have a good effect on financial sentiment, although every Intelligent reader of the new„ must be aware that, with Rumania, Serbia and < ‘zecho-Slovajua on the list of debtors to our government (not to mention Italy and France), the proviso that no terms more favorable shall be granted to any other Indebted govern ment. merely ensures another future dis cussion of the matter It hss been somewhat curious that the real ground for decision in the matter of the British obligations—th'« Wtrain which too exact. Ing term* would Impose on the maoblnery of international exchange—has hardly been mentioned In the congressional debate.
