Market, Financial and Industrial News of the JDay ,
Financial
Chicago Trlbun-0...uui bee iaaed Mire.
New York, Aug. 4. Dealings in
stocks - today developed numerous
soft spots in the industrial list, but
prices were steady on the whole and
There were fresh indications of ac
cumulation of railroad issues. The
market gave a better account of
itself than might have been ex
pected in view of the Polish situation
and a drastic break of sterling ex
change in the morning.
The resiliency ct Hie, rails under
moderate buying orders the day be
fore evidently instilled caution into
professional ooerations for the de
cline and an easier call money posi
tion was undoubtedly an influence
m neaumg on considerable pressure
against the manufacturing company
shares. The renewal rate was 7
per at, in contrast with 8 per cent
yestemay, and shortly after the
money market opened 6 per cent was
quoted. For the time being brokers
are finding the demand money sup
ply more than equal to their needs,
a result in part of the liquidation of
stocks in the last four or five days.
Conditions Change.
Ttip stock marlot contained no out
standing leaders, although sugar and rub
bjr iisi.ua were sv.e' tu as nmrka for the
( bears to shoot at In the early trading.
J lure have been sixns this week that
speculative program- were undergoing
simethlng of a change, more attention
being paid to the possibilities of rail
stocks rising under the beneflclent In
fluence of the rate Increase than to the
chance of Industrial stocks falling fur
ther. In final analysis, nothing has de
v loped to show that credit conditions
will nut overshadow all other factors for
sime time to come, and there are no
signs of permanent monetary eaae, despite
an accumulation of call funds at the mo.
ment. The reflection of this situation la
seen In the reluctance of traders to start
up a real forward movement with a call
loan rate, which would have excited
happy thoughts when the brief rise of
stocks was on early last month. At the
close of today's session fractional advances
were widely spread sbeut, together with
a t.umber of a point or more, and several
declines which reached 2 totl4 points.
Slump la Exchange.
Sterling exchange slumped sharply on
th opening under a pressure of grain
and cotton1 bill which denoted hurried
unloading by exporters. There was prob
ably a large quota of short sales then and
Inter, but when the selling of actual bills
slackened the shorts began to take cover,
and a substantial recovery occurred.
At the minimum level of $3.65"4 for
sight drafts, a gross recession of 7a
occurred, making the fall from Monday'
close more than 15c to the pound. To
day's last quotation was 33 62. The con
tinental quotations were shaken, partic
ularly French francs, which got down to
7. 17, but the afternoon rally was general,
nt'd the market was, If anything, steadlet
l'i final transaction! than the day be
fore. The steel and Iron trade reviews re
ported a moderate Increase of buying or
ders since the freight rate decision was
handed down, and pig Iron production In
dicated a strenuous effort on the part of
ptoducers to overcome transportation dif
ficulties. The Iron Trade Review notes
that additional step! orders are fore
shadowed In a report that the railroads
will shortly place jontracts for 3,000 pas
senger and 10.000 freight care, together
with 2,000 locomotives, as part of a three-
year rena mutation program involving
$8,000,060,000.

By CHARLES D. MICHAELS. -
Chicago Trlbane-Omnha Bee Leased Wire.
Chicago, Aug. 4.-Hcavy selling
of all grains led by wheat carried
prices down at the start which
brought good support and an ad
vance with the close on wheat at the
top, showing gains of 1c on Decem
ber and a loss of l-2c on March.
Heavy buying of September and
selling of December corn widened
the spread and the former finished
l-4c higher and the latter 2 l-4c low
er. Oats gained 1-8 to 3-8c while
rye gained 3-4c for1 September and
lost 2c for December, and barley fin
ished 1 1-2 to 1 3-4c higher.
So far a known the British commis
sion did not take hold of wheat as was
expected, yet. In the face of this and of
the strong selling early, which carried
price:' off 13c from tlw previous day s close.
Hie finish was at the top prices and 14o
over the Inside figure.
Cash wheat demand Was somewhat more
active, with local mills after red winter,
at Irtllo over December at Chicago, whllo
rso. I nara sola l lufyijo over, inv ciusc
being at the top, with No. 1 red at $2.42.
after selling at $2.36. No. 1 hard sold at
33.34Q3.42. Aa compared with the previ
ous day's close, final vales were 3o hlgiier.

Nebraska, Minnesota and the Dakotas.
Corn generally to fine condition."
Price Current Grain Reporter says:
"The condition of corn was changed some
what for the better, and the next govern
ment report will probably show a yield of
about 3,000,000,000 bushels.' Oats are
turning out better than expected, but the
quality will be uneven."

Charles Sincere ft Co. say: "At the
moment there Is a two-sided market In
tho corn pit. It will be this way for a
few days, pending Important crop devel
opments. Ultimately we can see nothing
but lower prices, as mere is a large sur
plus of grain In this country, and trans
portation conditions are not likely to exert
the same Influence they did a year ago,
when they were solely responpioie lor
inventing corn prices from truly reflect
ing the else of the crop."

A Letter and An Answer
Sartoria, Nebraska,
July 30, 192a
Mr. Walter A. George. '
3002 Mason Street,
Omaha, Nebraska.
My Dear Mr. George :
I read in the Omaha Bee of'
last Sunday a statement
signed by a man by the name
of Thomas Olson regarding
the properties of persons who
intend to merge their inter
ests or sell their property to
the Little Sioux Oil Company.
I read the statement made by
Mr. Olson in regard to his
opinion of the property held
by these parties that they in
tended to turn over to the
Little Sioux Oil Company
and the Success Refining
Company. I have heard indi
rectly that you have some
knowledge of these proper
ties and of the parties that
are going to merge their in
terests. Now there are thous
and of dollars going out of
Nebraska every month for
oil stock, and I have believed
"that we are entitled to an
honest oil company in the
state of Nebraska and gov
erned by honest men ; I there
fore thought I would ask you
what you know of the proper
ties held by the parties who
are going to merge with the
Little Sioux Oil Company and
what you know of the Lit
tle Sioux Oil Company it
self. I take the liberty of ask
ing you this because of the
fact that many of my friends
and neighbors ask my advice
in regard to investing in A
various transactions, and I
want to ask you if you would
advise me to invest my money
in this concern. The represen
tation made by Mr. Olson was
about as strong as anything
I have read. ,
Kindly let me hear from
you by return mail.
Very truly yours,
GEORGE CHERRY.
Omaha, Neb., Aug.' 3, 1920
Mr. George Cherry,
Sartoria, 6uffalot County,
Nebraska.
My Dear Mr. Cherry:
I received your -letter of
July 30th regarding the state
ment in the Omaha Bee con
cerning the Little Sioux Oil
Company and the property
held by that concern. Person
ally, I have investigated only
a small portion of the prop
erty that the parties intend to
merge with the Little Sioux
Oil Company; I intend to be
come actively interested as an
officer of this company. I
made a trip into Texas, and
personally investigated about
5,000 acres of the (land which
it is intended shall be con
veyed to the Little Sioux Oil
Company upon their recapital
ization and reorganization of
that concern. I have investi
gated, as thoroughly as one
can without personal examina
tion, the property that is in
tended to be conveyed to this
company, and I am convinced
that if the representations
made to me are true, the Little
Sioux Oil Company will be
come one of the greatest oil
companies in the Mid-Continent
field. I have always
found it the better way, in
fact the only safe way for me
to actually know conditions is
by personal investigation, and
I give you the same advice
that I am going to accept be
fore finally concluding my ar-rangei.u-iits
in regard to this.
I expect . to make a trip to
these oilfields, leaving here,
we hope, with a number of
others, next Sunday; and. I
would invite you to make the
trip with me at that time. The
Little Sioux Oil Company has
paid one per cent a month on
their stock, I understand, for
twenty-five months, and I have
no doubt but what, with the
additional acreage and the ad
ditional production, which
will give them, I understand,
altogether forty-six wells, they
can continue to pay a dividend
of that amount if not greater
from this date on. Thir pro
duction is largely in the shal
low well fields of Kansas,
Oklahoma, Texas and Ken
tucky. The Company, in my
judgment, will be officered by
some of the strongest men in
the State of Nebraska, Mis
souri and Oklahoma, and if I
decide, after thorough exam
ination of the field and the
property held by them, to cast
my lot with this Company, I
will have no hesitation in rec
ommendine it to vou or anv of
my friends, for I am going tw
know before I e&g&ge in thjt p
safe transaction, conducted by
absolutely honorable men.
Very truly yours,
WALTER A. GEORGE.
