DR. Mm R. TARRT mmm Mtionv v
New York, Dec. 26.-r-Resumptlon of
iraaing on the stock exchange alter tne
Christmas recess waa attended by great
er activity and breadth of operations, due
chiefly to a general demand (or railroad
shares. '
President Wilson's proclamation ordering
tne return or those properties . to private
ownership on March 1, stimulated the en
tire transportation division, the buying
soon extending to railroad equipments and
kindred steels.
Tobaccos, shipping, oils, motors and nu.
merous peace industrials were added to
the list in the course of the rise, together
with food shares and Issues of no definite
classification. i
For the first time this month tradera
and commission houses reported a visible
quickening of public Interest although the
major portion of the day's purchases prob
ably origlnatsd from the short covering.
Heavy deposits of holidays or "shop
ping" funds are expected to correct last
week's depletion of bank reserves, but
ctll money rose to It per cent after open
ing at 10. holding at the maximum rate
at the close. Offerings of time money were
nominal, country banks buying freely of
commercial paper. Sales amounted to 1,
250,000 shares.
Dealings In foreign exchange were com
paratively small, but tha British rate
weakened moderately on reporta that plans
to establish credits on London had met
with unexpected obstacles.
Liberty bonds were steady and foreign
featureless, but the domestic list hard
ened on further buying of speculative rails.
Total sales, par value, totaled $32,600,000.
Old United isates oonas were uncnaugeu
on call.

Chicago Grain and Provisions.
Chicago. 111.. Dec. 26. Railroad orders
to put grain ahead of all other commodi
ties in the movement of freight from the
west and northwest had av decided bear
ish effect today on the corn market.
Prices closed heavy. 2c to 4c net low
er, with aJnuary, $1.31 to $1.31 and
May, to si. 3U7. oats declined
7c to hi lc net. in provislonsj.the
outcome varied from 75c loss to a rise of
10c.
Corn traders were prompt to Infer that
the extra effort' to handle grain In pref
erence even to coal would result In a ma
terial enlargement of corn receipts here
ana at otner leaning terminals. Home
dissenters pointed out that it was one
thing to give grain the preference, but
another thing to furnish the cars. Nev
ertheless, the weakness of the market grew
more and more pronounced and value
broke sharply in the last part of the
session.

These results, moreover, have been at

a persistent interference with productive

tensified the shortages of many commodl

Successfully Combating
the High Cost of Living
The Allied Stores
Owned and Operated by Omaha Consumers
, . . ' ' ': -
The Allied Stores, are distributing groceries and meats Jo
thousands of families. ,!
Five stores have already been located and seven additional
locations are under consideration. "
Store No. 1 2223 Leavenworth
Store No. 2 24th and Fort
Store No. 322d and Poppleton five.
Store No. 44965 Dodge (Dundee)
Store No. 5 602 Pierce .,
Rapid Growth of Business
The Allied Stores Company was incorporated last May; The first
retail grocery and meat store was opened September 1 and began busi
ness under policies adopted by the management. The business of Store -No.
1 has increased over one hundred per cent in four months and the
, development of business in the other stores has been proportionately
rapid. It is not too much to predict that the first year's experience cf
each store will show an increase in sales of over one hundred per cent.
- Sharing Profits With Customers
1 The policy of The Allied Stores is to sell not less than five shares .
of stock at par to anyone arid to distribute the shares among the great-
est number of prospective patrons. These stockholding patrons re
ceive rebates aM,he close of each month, based on the amount of pur
chase, and in, accordance with profits earned. The general public
patronizes these stores purchasing standard merchandise at prices as
low or lower than can be found elsewhere. '
The Allied Stores Company shares its profits with its stockholding
customers, thus successfully combating the high cost of living.
. A certificate of fifty dollars of stock in this company is worth
sixty dollars today, based upon the increased assets of the company,
and it is a conservative prediction that at the end of twelve months
of operation of The Allied Stores the value of this stock will be ma
terially enhanced. , '
Shares Selling at $12 -
" - The management announces to the ' people of Omaha that the
market price of its stock will be increased to $12 a shire on and after
the first of January, 1920. the par value now being $10. It is sug
gested that those who wish to participate in the profits of this pros
perous company would do well to place their orders for stock at the
.. earliest moment. This stock at $12 a share will continue to be a
profitable investment.
It is not too much to say that this company has enjoyed a more
rapid growth and development than any other mercantile organization
known to the commercial history of Omaha.
