Chicago, Dec. 30. Corn ascended today to new high price levels for the season, owing chiefly- to prospects that stormy weather would further restrict tha arrival of supplies. The market closed unsettled at the same as Saturday's finish to 2c higher, with January, $1.43 01.44, and May, $1.3601,36. , , After nearby deliveries had touched a new high price level for the season, profit taking by holders brought about some thing of a reaction. The close was unset tled at the same as Saturday's finish to 2c higher, with January $1.43 01.44, and May, $1.3601.36. Oats gained a shade to o and c net and provisions 12c to 77c. Offerings of corn proved scanty on the way up, especially .for nearby .deliveries, but around the top figures of the day sellers became much more numerous, and there was a good deal of realizing by longs who had profits In sight. , ...... Shorts who feared the effects of a con tinued lack of freedom In the crop move ment were the chief buyers. Farmers, according to advices from the Interior, were willing to tell at present prices, but the impassable condition of country roads has legally put a stop to hauling. With this circumstance In view, the deferred months failed to hold advances, although December and January kept relatively firm throughout the session. Oats showed Independent strength. Eastern and southern buyers were again active. Placing of foreign orders here at rela tively high prices for meatB operated as a decidely bullish factor.

Renewed liquida tion of stocks and bonds, the latter In un precen ted volume, characterized the fever ishly aotlve trading on the stock exchange today, several Important Issues, Including rails, recording lowest quotations of the year. The movement was the most compre. henslve of any session of the month and again lacked definite or plausible explana tion other than the widespread belief that corporations and Individual holders of se curities are closing out accounts to adjust Income tax returns for the year. In all probability, much of the selling of rails was. Impelled by the many adverse statements for November submitted by the I. C. C, such systems as Pennsylvania, Reading, Baltimore & Ohio, Canadian Pa cific, Chicago & Northwestern, St. Paul, Rock Island and New -Haven reporting net losses ranging from $700,000 to almost $2,000,000.. Recessions among standard . rails , ran from 1 to 2 points,, but among Issues of lesser Importance losses were more exten sive. Industrials and equipments, coppers, motors and oils yielded 1 to 3 points and utilities 1 to 6. The few consplclous exceptions to the downward trend were shippings, marine preferred rallying sharply after Its early setback; Southern Pacific, and .United States steel, fKe latter losing only the smallest fraction on the moderate rally at the qlose. Sales amounted to 1,200,000 shares. Losses among some of the more Specula tive bond Issues, Including Pennsylvania coi solldated 6s, St. Paul convertible 4s, Seaboard Air Line adjustment 68 and In terborough Rapid Transit 6s extended fro .i 2 to 5 per cent, but the heaviness of Liberty Issues, especially the fourth 4s at the new minimum ot $94.00 was the over shadowing feature, 8ales of bonds were estimated at $45, 000,000; par value, which exceeds the pre vious record by about $10,000,000. The Liberty group contributed approximately 80 per cent to this total. Old United States bonds wars unchanged on call. Number of sales and quotations on lead ing stocks: " Closing Sales. High. Low.

Stockholders in various Omaha savings and loan associations will reap a harvest of $1,319,100, repre senting dividends of nine concerns. A gain of more than $100,000 over the previous year was made. The Conservative Savings and Loan as sociation will cut the largest pie of dividends, amounting approximately to $612,000. "The increases of dividends of the savings and loan associations has been due to the concerns maintain ing a strong reserve and continuing to lend money at substantial inter est," Paul W. Kuhns, president of the Conservative, declared. Stockholders of the Omaha Loan and Building association will be paid $475,000, substantial increase over the preceding year. Most Successful Year. Though hampered in way by var ious phases of the war, the banking concerns and savings associations have had a successful year. With the coming of the new year officials of savings associations see a bright period in the financial world. Stockholders of these concerns have one more item to their credit, that of earning an increase of 1 per cent in some cases on money placed with savings associations. The Nebraska Savings and Loan association will pay dividends amounting to $65,000, an increase of approximately $5,000 over the prev ious year. The Occidental, paying 6 per cent on paid-up stock and 7 per cent on installment stock, will pay dividends of more than $25,000. More than $30,000 will be cut for stockholders of the Bankers' and the Commercial Savings and Loan associations, respectively. The Home Savings and Loan will pay dividends of $48,000 due stockhold ers for the past year. The Pruden tial will divid $25,000 among the stockholders. A gain of nearly $2,000 in dividends has been made by the State Savings and Loan associa tion during the past year. Assets Show Increase. In spite of heavier taxes and over head expenses which have fallen upon banking and savings concerns, a remarkable increase in assets has been made during the past year. The Conservative Savings and Loan association rounds out an even half million dollars for a re serve fund, with thepast increase in assets. "As a source of strength and security, the Conservative has attained the largest reserve fund of any savings and loan association in the west," Paul W. Kuhns, presi dent pf the association said. The Omaha Loan and Building association has made a gain in as sets amounting to $609,659.86 over the first six months of 1918. Divi dends earned for the member: were nearly one half a million. Dividends amounting to $60,000 v. ill be paid to stotkholders of the Peters Trust company, paying 10 per cent. With new industries coming to Omaha during the coming year and old industries increasing their out puts and trade, Omaha bankin and savings interests should reach the pyramid of success during the com ing ear. State Forces Ready to Start Armenian Syrian Relief Drive After organiging Minnesota, Iowa, North and South Dakota for the Armenian-Syrian relief drive during the week of January 12 to 19, W. J.

"I an ticipate America will readily go again to the assistance of those starving Christians who are now taking their place in the world's limelight." Nebraska's share of the $30,000, 000 relief fund will be $300,000. Sarpy county, with a qt:ota of $2,500, and Nemaha county, with a quota of $3,500, have already "gone over the top" in raising their quota. Iowa's share will be $710,000.

Falconer Would Flood City Streets for Use of Skaters City Commissioner Falconer is considering the flooding of several blocks of streets in outlying . dis tricts for use as skating ponds.
