_Omaha Grain car# last year. Total ship ment* were JU4 cars, against 112 can *ast year. Coarse grains oti the Omaha market were In good demand and higher prices were paid. IV heat, however, w as slow and sold about unchanged from yester day. Corn wna lift2c higher; oats. »*c higher; ry« was quoted ie higher and barley firm and unchanged. After an initial flip the Chicago futures market turned strong, with an upward tendency. Coarse grains led the advance, with May corn and May oat* registering a new' high level for the season. Wheat, however, was inclined u> lag and did not respond to this strength. Profit-taking stopped the advance and caused a slight iTHctlon from the top. but the market displayed a strong undertone.

Many of these sales were made early in the summer ami at price* at or below those now prevailing, but.,due to overbuying by eastern con sumer*. shipping instructions nre running far behind, in some cases as much as six months. This has discouraged many milje»>, who not only see the meager napfr profits being dissipated in carry ing charges, but realize that quite likely the new crop will find many orders un shipped. In the meantime hew business is scarce, » specially for immediate deliv ery, and wheat demand, especially for low grades, is dull.

LKYIIKV Chicago, .Jan. 28.—Corn established it self well above the SQc level today, a new high for the year, and t luen eased modej alely under liberal profit-taking. \N h«kt was sustained by the stability ot the > eT low cereal and also by aggressive short covering, but over ll for the May. con si ant wiling was encountered and prices gradually weakened and closed with a fractional loss. Wheat closed unchanged to ’4c lower, corn was J*<‘ to »^c advanced, outs were ‘cc to *^c higher and rye ruled |«c ad v anced. l*it ulmervers were inclined to remark about the ease with which the wheat shorts filled their buying orders. The opinion was suggested that longs must be liquidating on the hard spot Fed eral ndvldcs confirmed considerable dam age to the growing wheat crop while for eign developments were more favorable. On the other hand the northwest financial situation Jounced depress.ng. Strong buying of * corn early absorbed all scattered offerings, and when the market reached SUc for the May cover ing by shorts became aggressive How ever. at top levels pressure increased from various sources. Cash inter* sts offered corn on the bulge and the inference as the country had sold some although sales to the Chicago market continued moder ate. A. much broader trade prevailed in oats. The .May delivery hit a new high tor the season. % Rlevator Interests were fair buyers of rye. The export deiuaud for this grain was Still stagnant. ^ Provisions dosed slightly Irregular. Hard was 6c higher and 10c lower and ribs were unchanged. Provisions"flose.i si ghtly. Pit Notes. "Wheat proved to be h disappointment to the bulls today. Ordinarily the market would have advanced sharply, but the leading cereal met surprising pressure. The financial situation in the northwest may be causing more alarm as far ns longs are concerned than has been generally believ ed. It appears that farmers In many In stances northwest, not only need money to pay off their indebtedness, but also that they must have financial help to continue actual farming- The situation is depress ing there in a way but comes at a time when farmer reserves of wheat are com paratively low. The bulk of the spring wheat crop has been moved, so that any forced liquidation will not overflow ter minals with wheat. Advices from Kansas claimed that farm reserves of wheat as well as stocks in country elevators are light, but this news was counteracted by reports that Kansas mills have plenty of wheat. Ft appears that southwest mills have trouble in get ting shipping instructions on stuff sold. Northwest mills because of their ImportaV tlons of cheaper Canadian grain are said to be taking considerable business from the southwest. V The primary movement today totaled 672,000 bushels compared with 1,123,000 bushels a year ago. Stocks of wheal at. terminal points northwest continued tu fall, for four days at Minneapolis, the crease being 276,000 bushels. C H 1C AGO CASH PKI( *EH.

New York, Jan. 23.—Irregular price movement* continued throughout today a stock market, but the rmtin trend was upward. High priced specialities were again the center of speculative inter i«-Ht. Halts ran clu*e to the million share mark lor the fiist time since lust Thurs day. Buying was influenced by the decision "f a special master deviating th« New York .State $t gas law unconstttutiona I. higher copper prices and other aeries «*i crude oil and gasoline avfVani ch. publi i Htion of weekly trade reviews report ing »n increasing demand for steel and prediction of higher sugar «pri« • g and \ resumption of dividends by sonic of tlic important producing companies. Consolidated (las was heavily bought mi i lie announcement of the master’s d» iision. t ht? lock jumping from a low of f to 67 \. and closing at 66 7% for a n• i sain of 2 '% on the day. Brooklyn I'nion Gas • loaed J 4*, higher si 12* \ and moderate improvement was a t.s noted in most of the out-of-town pub lie utilities. Mnryland Oil was In good demand In anticipation of the stockholder*' approval of the sab* of a block of treasury stuck at their meeting in Wilmington, Del . tomoirovv. The stock « rosaed 39 and then eased to 38 where it wa* up I i, on tlio day. l‘a n \ irf* t lean and Hln . lair issues were again under pressure, liut they showed good support at to day's low levels. Pan American ”H” showed «i loss of 1H on the day. but ti,H A stock and Sinclair were only frac tionally lower. _ . . . t’orh Products was ogaln the feature of the specialty list, touching a record breaking price *»f 3 74 Tv* and closing slightly below that figure, for a not gain of 5 points. Special buying In I ni ted Fruit, which curried that stock up more than 4 points to 189. was said to have been based on expectation *»f a favorable earnings report General Klec trie, which has been mounting to n*-w high records almost dally, fell hack tu-ur* ]v 2 points to 21 2 '«. Strength **f United Statea Industrial Alcohol, which closed nearly 3k, points higher at 74*4. was at tributed to rumors of an earlv resump tion of dividend payments at the $6 ra*<* \nnouncement of wage in- re,is* s for certain classes of New York Central em ployes had a somewhat depressing effect on the railroad shares, most of which showed fractional recessions. Special strength was shown, however, by Pitts burgh & West Virginia, which closed rnor. than a point higher at 43 V l.ehigh Valley, one of the recent strong spots, dropped more than a point on, profit taking <’all monev rub*d unchanged at 4 tier rent. The tints monev Hnd commercial paper markets were quiet with no change in rates. Foreign exchange* were again reac tionary. Demand sterling dropped more than a cent to 14.21and French franca again dropped below 4.60c. Shifting of capital from Komlon and Paris to New York was the only explanation obtain able here for the renewed heaviness of Kuropean currencies.

He came home to tell his brother-in-law, Jesse Lasky, that a for tune could be made by some one who could pro duce five-reel pictures. In the next nine years Samul Goldwyn grew up with the motion pic ture industry'. The most joyous—and some of the most painful—experiences of those years were with the screen stars. Read them and laugh! x * % How the Stars Behave in Private Life • ( Here is a story brimming bver with intimate, personal pictures of the star's—Mary Pickford. Charles Chaplin, Douglas Fairbanks, the Tal madge sister's, Pola Negri, Rudolph Valentino and many others— all described with the double knowledge of one who has been and is their friend, but who has ajso had constant business dealings with them as artists. Mr. Goldwyn leaves us in no doubt that he knows these idols perhaps better than some of them know them selves. % BEHIND THE SCREEN # • Starts in The Evening Bee I on Friday, February 1st i Don’t Miss It!
