fgt* cars, against 123 cars a year
There waa rather a elovr demand for ail
grains on the Omaha market. The early
asiea Of wheat were made at unchanged
prices, but the demand was soon filled
And the market turned weaker. Home late
aaiea of low grade wheat sold 3c lower.
Corn sold title lower. Oats were ’* vt
'io lower, being geuerally V»c lower. Rye
e.nd barley were quoted unchanged
At the opening of the Chicago futures
market, prices were inclined to easiness,
influenced largely by the weakness in De
cember corn. '.Scattered commission house
buying came Into the market on the dip
and atarted ghorta to covering and brought
?bout a reaction. Cash corn was heavy,
but there was good buying of the distant
jut urea. There waa some export demand
or Manitoba wheat, but the domestic de
mand was very slow.

r-mt.JSJ,Pr. 17.—Sustained strength
ream ed the wheat trading today, price*
‘HuZlg al ,op * *ommission houses
with eastern connections took all offer
ings out of the pit early, offsetting sell
ing bv cash interests ami spieaders. and
covering by shorts caused a flurry at the
ben. t >n t he whole tha volume of busi
ness continued small.
V\ heat dosed V'i'l%c higher; corn was
fc'U' V- rugher; oats were unchanged to
lower and rve ruled % ® %c advanced.
l’b« formal appeal by Germany for per
mission front the reparations commission
to negotiate a loan of I70.omo.OOu for the
purpose of buying foodstuffs aroused con
stdei able cheer, while expectation of a
bullish government report. :ssued at ihe
close, also helped stabilize ;he market.
The seaboard confirmed sales of 200,000
bushels.
t’orn ruled weak most of the day. par
tlcularly the December, In sympathy with
the liberal receipts here end favorable
weather conditions for hauling over the
belt. However, all buyers were in the
spot market and prices carne hack fast,
in the pit, shorts rushed to cover and
j forced prices upward
Oats were easy at the close Trade
most of the day was tame. Cash inter
e*ds offered at times, while cm mission
house buying took the surplus out of the
Pit.
Rye was uo with wheat. Scattered
shorts offset the continued selling by
houses with northwest connections.
Provisions were irregular most of the
day, but firmed late to h. higher close.
Paid was unchanged to 5c higher and
ribs were 10&>12%o higher.
Pit Notes.
December wheat at the close today was
4He r*der th»* May compared with tic
recently. While the primary arrivals
were larger ami the United States visible
increased 1.261,000 bushels for the week
• nd cash wheat was easy In all markets
it wan difficult to many lo figure Just,
why the December should continue to
display such strength.
It has been contended for some time
that the surplus of wheat of the world
was passing rapidly into consumptive
channels. The shipments last week to
talled approximately 15,000.000 bushels,
and the decrease of wheat and flour on
ocean passage the while aggregated 7,
911.000 bushels.
Seaboard exporters in seme instances
W’ere credited with talking bullish for the
first time In a year, une mentioned the
fact that he was bullish on Manitoba
wheat. This news coming with the In
timations that export sales have h^en
larger recently than Uie daily reports
Indicated was given no little credence
by the trade.
Many comments are being heard at this
time regarding the heavy disappearance
of Canadian grain. Of the total crop of
4t5.ftftO.MOO bushels, there have been mar
keted 296.000.000 bushels. Some grain
men claim that the Kansas 1923 wheat
crop must have been under estimated.
Stocks of wheal at Minneapolis decreas
ed 15,000 bushels for two days.

Cattle—Receipts. 9.600 head. Monday’s
moderate run of cattle did not stimulate
the demand to any extent and trade
was very alow, with prices about steady
at last week's decline West of the handy
weight beeves were perhaps r lltle firmer,
but the general market was very dull and
the undertone weak. Shipping cows and
heifer* were in good demand and strong,
hut the general cow market was dull
arnl lower. In stockers and feeders there
wa* some activity, with best heavy grades
strong as high as $7 90®*00. although
•ight and medium weight kinds ruled dull
and unchanged.

demand was apparent from shippers this
miorning and trade in this division get
under way early, at prices around steady
with Saturday. Packers, however, were
slow to act, and up to a late hour in the

moved in this direction. Top price for

Sheep and Lambs—Receipts, 12.000. The
general sentiment in the fat Iamb* mar
ket was bearish. Eastern reports were of
an unfavorable nature, and with local
supply moderate, buyers took a determined
stand for sharply lower levels, first bids
being fully 40© 50c lower. The feeder
lamb trad** showed a fair tone, with the
market looking around steady. A fully
steady affair was apparent in the aged
sheep division.

New York. Dec. 17. — Weakness of the
railroad shares, based on speculative fear
of unfavorable legislation <>, further dlvl
dend cute by some of the northwestern
railroad^, caused some unset t lenient
among standard industrials 1 n today's ac
tive stock market, but failed to halt
bullish operations in the oils and certain
specialties
There was a good sized a <cumula tion
of week end buying orders at the open
ing, duo in part to the publication of the
di i alia of Secretary Mellon's tax reduction
plan, and the favorable reparations de
veloptnenta. Wall Street reports that
brokers’ loans had increased catupiira
lively little In recent weeks, despite the
rapid advance in stock tirlcea also were
considered s good omen In some quarters
on the theory that It indicated mocks
were moving into strong hands.
Speculators for the decline, taking ad
of the fight over th»- chair
manship of the senate committee on
interstate commerce, launched an attack
on the rail shares. concentrating on
1'nlon Pacific, which was forced down
mure than 3 points to 126%, although it
rallied laler to 127. Selling of this par
ticular issue was somewhat of r sur
prise because of the fact that net rail
road earnings this year are running well
over 1922 with an increase also reported
ill income from other sources.
**Soo" preferred broke 6 points to 75.
a new 1023 low. on one sale, and Omaha
touched a new bottom at 32. or 2% point*
below the previous sale Net losses of
a point or more also were, recorded bv
Southern Pacific. Atlantic Coast Line,
La<‘kawana. Louisville- St Nashville.
"Nickel Plate" and Pittsburgh & West
Virginia preferred. "Big Four" broke 6
point 4.
Independent strength was shown by a
number of specialties. < orn products was
again file favorite, being nushed up 4%
joints to 167*4. ■*. new high for all time,
on buying attributed in some quarter*
to specula live »-x pert at mu of * special
dividend distribution and In others to a
renin of the short Interest. Continental
' Ja n was another strong spot, climbing
2% points to 62% American Pan was
f-ushed up Co 107%. the highest price
this year, in speculative expertat ion of
an Increased dlvhffmd at Friday's meet
ing of the board of director*
Revival of a demand for the oil share
waa baaed on a report of a further reduc
tion in output by the fields In the Los
\nge)e* basin Standard OH of California
led the advance w ith a gain of 2 *« points
an«l good buying was also noted in some
ordinarily Inactive lapues. such as Invin
cible and Trans-Continental. 'Wall atreet
estimates that Standard oil company rash
dividends will total nearly 1138,000,000
this year.
Baldwin. Studebaker. T’nlfed State* Steel

moving up to 79 7». closing slightly below
that for a net gain of nearly *2% points.
Call montv opened at 4% and then
dropped to 4%. The time and commer

change in rates.
