Chicago Grain and Provisions.
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.

FINANCIAL
New Tork, Deo. 30. 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

SAVINGS BANKS
Loan Association Stockhold
ers Are to Receive Over
Million and a Quarter
in Dividends.
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.
Shallcross of Bellevue has returned

ganization in the five states.
"When the Armenian-Syrian relief
drive last winter was closed we
notified our workers that another
one was probable this winter, and
this left our state organization
ready," said Mr. Shallcross. "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. Former

assisted by J. E. Kirby cf Des

paign. 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. They

"I asked Anderson and Bruce ii
mere was anyone in tne city tney
could be surer of than Wick andT
James, and they said no," declared
Chief Briggs. "The conflicting story
told by Wick and his friend,, Ruth,
Lloyd, strengthens pur tase against
Wick. Wick claimed to have bein
in the Lloyd apartment while the
Glynn party was. there. Ruth Lioyd
told us he came in just as they
left."

Government Sends Passes,
to Railroad Officials
Local railroad officials are receiv
ing their annual passes for , next
year, and instead of there being a
pass over each railroad, as in the
past, there is one pass that is good
over all roads under federal control.
The railroad, passes for next year
bear the printed signature of W. G.
McAdoo, director general, and are
not good unless countersigned by J.
H. Keefe. They are yellow in color
and are issued under authority of
the United States railroad admin
istration. If there is any particu
lar road on which they are not good,
the name of that road is noted on
the back of the passes. ; ,
