THE BEE: OMAHA. WEDNESDAY. APRIL 28, 19'. 11 Market, Financial and Industrial News of the Day Financial' . thlrafu Tribuae-Omah lire Leased Wire. New York, April 27. The specu lative rally pendulum swung today ' in the direction opposite to the pre- ceding day's movement, in the stock, cotton and grain markets. Prices de clined after an early advance, gain ing momentum in the downward di rection near the end of the trading period, when call money rather un expectedly stiffened to 10 per cent. It had been at 7 per cent since the abrupt break of quotations occurred last week. There was no evidence of any other influences at work than those which professional traders find easi est to operate at times of uncer tainty over the course of business and credit costs. Led by Reading among the rails and American Woolen in the industrial department, the bulls were able to get quotations from 2 to 6 points higher in the morning, but buyers of this pe , riod appeared to be the most active sellers in the afternoon. The realliatlon of profits on purchases rrm.lo in th flush of feelings over the Heading deolslnn on Monday helped to lop 1h tops oft the leading speculative ls but It seemed aa though renewed driving at stock by short sellers wan i he chief factor recorded In the day's not declines. Liberty bonds were moderately firm, feeling the effect of widespread ln- , tsroat among large caliber Investors In his market aa a result of the recent slump. Industrial Outlook Brighter. The day contained considerable cheer ful Information In respect to Industry . which probably was offset to a degree by less tanglbl hut disturbing matter, not the least of which was the hill Introduced In the house providing for super-war Profits taxes aa a medium for raising t" rropoee soldier bonus. While the fiellef was expressed In banking and busl , ness circles that a measure calling for retroactive Imposts on profits received . smong the legislators, still It was realised lht the spirit of the times was not such' as to permit Ignoring of the pro-posal. Of constructive Itema the foremost was the ouarterly report of the steel corporation. Bhowlng a net Income after federal taxes "of l2.0.ono. an Increase of $.;S0,nn0. or more than 17 per cent over the last quarter of 1919. The sain over the March quarter of last year, with which the report was di rectly comparable, was considerably more lhan 20 per cent, showing that estimates of heavy production In the first three months of 1920 were based on sound sur vnys of mill activity In nil parts of the country. In the textile field the record income account of the American Woolen company for 1U Indicated a level of Prosperity which reflected at least the Sreat demands upon producers of cloth inir material In a year of shortages. 'Whether the company's statement stands as a barometer for the current year re mains to be determined In results already 1'elng shaped by such high prices .that the "overall movement" haa risen as a symbol of protest .on the part of the consuming public. Exchange Erratic. Sterling exchange recorded some erratic swings, coupled first with considerable Hhort selling which was counteracted by a change of sentiment late In the day be cause of rumors of, a renewal of the gold import movement.- At its lowest figure of 3.74c the demand rate waa more than S cents lower than the preceding day'a close but the last quotation recorded a net gain of 3Vic Only slight changes occurred .in the other markets. 1 It would be Interesting to' know the "true connection between current declining ' fertdency of silver and Conditions In the 4' esst Today the metal fell 4N pence '..Vt pound at London to 65 pence. In tbroary silver sold as high as 89'4 pence. . so It tit clear that the demand In recent .weetf has shriveled and China and India . are the greatest consuming markets. ;'' . Minneapolis Grain.

Chicago, April 27. May corn and May oats showed increased conges tion at the start, both selling at new high figures on the crop, while May oats at $1 was at the best price on record. The bulge called out profit taking, the selling of oats being based on a belief that liberal amounts of Canadian would be at tracted to this market. Com gained Uc, however, while oats were fie lower at the last. A heavy undertone was noticeable in the deferred deliveries of corn and oats, and profit-taking by bulls, who failed to sell out on the ad vance last week, more than satis fied thej needs of scattered buyers. Closing trades at losses of J'fic on com and 1 1 J-ic on oats, while rye was off ii&:2c and barley ljc lower with 25,000 bushels sold to go to store at $1.75 for delivery on May contracts. Receipt Smell. Routine news showed little change from that prevailing of late. Receipts were very small, six cars corn and 19 cars of oats; cash corn being lQ3c higher and oats unchanged to lo higher. The advances, however, attracted little attention. There was persistent reports that a settlement of the switchmen's strike would be made in the Immediate future. Wet weather continued over the oat belt. Seeding reports, however, showed that while, the season waa one to three weeks late the country was Inclined to take an optimistic view of the situation. The weakness in the deferred deliveries or oats was most noticeable. There waa a marked 'change In senti ment noticeable In some quarters. In the last few days both corn and oats have been actinv like bull markets that have culminated. The Impression prevailed that a good DreaK was to oe wunessea very shortly, end some of the strongest be llevers In higher prices recently were the best sellers on the early advance. . France Cancels Orders, franca canceled 300.000 bushels cash oats at the seaboard on the basis of 4tyo over Chicago May, of (Uo less than the same grain was bringing at Chicago. Exchanging or rye futures ror me casn grain on the part of seaboard exporters waa a feature of that market. In the last two days It 1s estimated that over 5 nnn nnn huahels have been exchanged.

WE SOLICIT YOUR Consignments of All Kinds of Grain to OMAHA, CHICAGO, MILWAUKEE and SIOUX CITY Every Car Receives Careful Personal Attention The Updike Grain Company THE RELIABLE CONSIGNMENT HOUSE Station-to-Station Galls Are the Cheapest and Quickest Long Distance Telephone Service Two principal classes of long distance telephone service are in use. They are known as "STATION-TO-STATION" and "PERSON-TO-PERSON" service. Station-to-station service should be used when you . ere willing to talk to anyone at the distant telephone called. Ferson-to-person service is intended for use when you wish to talk to a particular person or persons. Station-to-station service is not only cheaper, but it is more rapid and less subject to error than person-to-person service. On station-to-station service the call can he completed as soon as the distant telephone is an swered, while on person-to-person service the particular person wanted must be located and summoned to the telephone. The charge for a station-to-station call cannot be reversed; that is, it cannot be charged to the telephone called, for in that case the telephone operator would have to locate a particular party to approve the charge, which would make it a person-to-person call. HOW STATION-TO-STATION CALLS SAVE MONEY Station-to-station calls, no doubt, can always be used for a large part of your business or social calls, but you . may be able to make greater use of this lower-priced service if, just before you place your call, you will ana lyze the probable conditions in the office or home of the person wanted. V For example, if it is possible that Mr. Brown may be out, but his clerk can give you the information you t want, a station-to-station call will meet your needs. Or if you are reasonably sure Mr. Jones will be at home at a certain hour, a station-to-station call could be made advantageously. Then, too, by making previous arrangements, the person you want could be near the telephone at the time you put in your call. For example, if Mrs. Jones calls her daughter regu larly once a week, it could be arranged between them that the call will be made at a specified time, so that the daughter can be near the telephone to receive the call. Or if it is an occasional call, a postal card could be, sent to the daughter telling her what time the call . will be made. HOW TO MAKE A CALL When making a STATION-TO-STATION call, you would say, for example, "I want to make a Station-to-Station call to George Smith's store at (give town and state and, if known, the street address and telephone number). If you want to use PERSON-TO-PERSON service you would say, for example, "I want to make a Person -to-Persen call to John Smith at George Smith's store at (give town and state and, if known, the street address and telephone number). EXAMPLES OF DIFFERENT RATES Following are examples ' showing the station-to-station and person-to-person rates for distances up to sixty-four miles : Station-to- Person-to- Miles Station " Person 0-12... i.. 10.10 ; ' $0.15 12-18.,,. j., .15 .20 18-24..; ;.... .20 .25 24-32.. 25 .30 32-40.. 30 .40 40-48 .35 .45 48-56.;.,... .40 . .50 56-6.4..,., ......... . .45 .55 APPOINTMENT AND MESSENGER RATE Appointment calls and Messengor calls are special kinds of person-to-person calls. An APPOINTMENT CALL rate, which is about 50 per cent higher than the station-to-station rate, is quoted for service when an appointment is made by the calling party to talk at a particular time. . When a person who does not have a telephone is called over long distance and a messenger must be sect to summon the party to the telephone, the MESSENGER CALL rate, which is about 50 per cent higher than the station-to-station rate, is charged, and to this is added the necessary messenger charges. , THE REPORT CHARGE 1 When you place a call for a particular person or persons- and for any reason they cannot be reached the same day at the address given, or will not alk, or if you make a call and you are not ready to talk when the other person is ready- within an hour, a REPORT CHARGE is made. The report charge is about one fourth the station-to-station rate. It is intended to cover part of our expense of handling the uncompleted call. SPECIAL EVENING AND NIGHT RATES The EVENING rate, between 8:30 p. m. and 12 midnight on station-to-station calls, is about one-half the day rate. The NIGHT rate, between midnight and 4:30 a. m., is about one-fourth the day station-to-station rate. However, no evening or night rates are quoted on station-to-station calls where the day rate is less than 25 cents. On such short-haul calls the day rate applies. For longer distances special evening and night rates are quoted. Because it is difficult to reach particular persons at night, when many are away from their homes and places of business, there are no special evening or night rates quoted for person-to-person calls.
