Chicago, Qct. 25.--Fedcral trade
commission investigators who. have
been Investigating charges by Sen
ator Arthur Capper of Kansas that
manipulation on the board of trade
here was responsible for the recent
decline in the price of wheat has
completed its work here. The in
vestigation, it is 'understood, is to
be pursued in all the leading grain
centers, and later testimony of lead
ing export brokers will be taken at
gulf and Atlantic ports.
While the hearings are mot nub-
lic, it if reported that Chicago grain
dealers told the investigators the
tour principal reasons for the de
cline were:
Public clamor for lower orices.
backed up by reduced buying power
which started liquidation, in many
lines. .
A wheat crop above the average
in both quantity and quality, coupled
wfth bumper crops of corn and oats.
Discriminatory ocean freight rates
against flour in favor of wheat,
which have curtaited purchases by
niiuers, ana
Keen Canadian competition.

By ALEXANDER DANA NOYES.
New York, Oct 25. The essential
incidents of today's market were a
10 per cent rate for call money oil
the stock exchange, making tne sec
ond occurrence of that , rate since
last Thursday, and a sharp recov
ery in sterling exchange.
The rises in stock exchange
money rateswas a plain enough response-
to the $23,900,000 .deficit in
reserves, reported after the close of
Saturday's business in the weekly
bank statement That deficit, it is
true, was caused entirely by the
week's reduction of $65,400,000 in
reserve credits of the private banks
with , the federal reserve bank, and
that reserve account can be in
creased as rapidly as it . decreased
on this occasion. But it was only
through last week's reduction ifi
such credits that the New York fed
erar reserve bank was able to keep
its own ratio of reserve to liabilities
virtually up to (he previous weekS
low figure of 38J4 per cent, which
allowed a margin of only 2 per cent
rropr the lccral rcnnirpment ao-atnst
he bank's deposits after . allowing
for the required reserve against cir
culating notes.
Movement Irregular.
On the stock market the high money
rate had Its natural deterrent Influence,
but the movement, of pricea was Irregular,
uncertain and altogether professional from
the start The absence of any spontaneous
movement was sufficiently Illustrated by
the fact that Wall street's Interest was
almost exclusively attached to some rather
absurd reports which were put In circula
tion as to the purposes of the U. S. Steel
directors at their quarterly meeting to
day. Industrial corporations are not In
creasing their cash dividends or dis
tributing their cash assets at this time
of trade reaction, declining orders from
consumers, falling prices for manufactured
goods, and an S per cent market for cor
poration loans.
The earnings of the company for the
September quarter, alBOV to be reported
tomorrow ought to make favorable enough
comparison with "previous quarters; far
he prolonged railway blockade Around
Pittsburgh was being broken during that
three months' period, and the . company's
mommy statements or orders on the books
were at or close to the year's best figures
until oepiemoer, jsut tne steel corpora
tion, like other well managed companies,
Is in the habit of shaping its policy with
a vlsw to futures, as well as to the past,
and an uncharacter of the immediate In
dustrial future la known to everyone. The
rest or ine stocK marxet moved un
certainly, all day and ended- with about
as many advances as declines.
Sterling Becovers.
In Its early ttfc recovery, most of
which
w
Iras held at the close, sterling ex
change was assumed to be reflecting the
soniewhat better outlook in the British
strike negotiations. As a matter of fact,
no one In financial circles looks for such
a tie-up of industry In England as the
taoor unions nawe threatened. Labor, it.
self, has at least some stake in the flnan.
clal economic results of such an experi
ment The foreign trade statement for
September as Issued by our own govern
ment today was a curious Illustration of
row nara ;t is to predict the Immediate
progress of an economic movement. Im
ports of merchandise for the month were
$160,000,000. less than in August, and
much the smallest of any month In the
present year to date. That may reflect
the reaction of trade waa really began
lost spring. But an Increase In exports
10 a iigure 01 sn.uoo.ooo over Septembei,
1919, was not expected.

Chicago Grain
By CHARLES D. MICHAELS.
Chicago Tribune-Omaha Bee Leased Wire.
Chicago, Oct. 25. AcUon 4i the
grain markets were such as to in
spire moderate 'confidence in some
quarters and the breaks brought sup
porting orders while the bulges ran
into buying of sufficient volume to
absorb the offerings and create' nu
merous small rallies, The operators
Depended largely on local influences
and while prices ' covered a good
range, the finish showed losses of
only H$&c on wheat, J4l54c on
corn with October leading, and H
ic lower on oats.
Rye had fair support and main
tained fiJ4c The only news of
importance outside of the routine
worki was news that the English
coal strike had been settled. Trad
ers construe this as bullish, but it
only had a temporary, effect
'Omaha Supply Large. .
. Wheat waa bought on reports of strike
settlement and prices advanced 2c above
Saturday's close. The failure of outside
buying support to develop on the bulge
brought a selling movement, and a de
cline of nearly 6c, which was followed by
a rally of 2c at the close, with the
finish. 11.99 to 11.99 for December.
Cash newB was bearish especially, from
Omaha, where there were 182 cars and a
light demand. All the cash markets were
lower and visible Increase of 2,278,000
buehels exceeded last year's. World's ship
ments of 12,026,000 bushels compared with
10,628,000 bushels , test year. Galveston
gives evidence of cleaning up as Its
exports were 1,625,000 bushels over Sun
day and total clearances from all porta
2,338,000 bushels.-Reports from the south
west rindlcated that fartners were not sell
ing freely, ' 1
' Corn values have reached the point
whefe comparatively few of the big local
traders are disposed to press the selling
side, although .Mincer - was aggressive
around SOc and under for December,
whlta the buying by commission houses on
the 'breaks was sufficient to absorb the
offerings and send prices up about lc
There was nothing In the cash situation to
create enthusiastic buying, prices being
lower in practically all the markets. Re
ceipts are picking up, Chicago having Sit
cars, while the. demand generally was
slow.. 7naustrles Were limited buyers, Ex
port, sales were only 25,000 bushels, with
bids equal to anpund 4c over Chicago De
cember, c. 1. f. Buffalo. Stocks here In
creased 1,164,000 bushels and are more
than half the visible supply, y
Armour Sells Oats.
A feature In oats was the large selling
of December at 63 C for the. Armour In
terests, and the heavy buying to cover
snoris oy mincer.jxne marxet in all was
a narrow one, with commission houses
liberal sellers on all hard spots and
furnishing fair support on ' the breaks.
Foreign news was a little better, while
the domestic statistical situation wS
weaker with a continued piling up of
BiA.unB, iju primaries are unuer last
years'.
Rye had support from seaboard houses
early, while Duluth was credited with the
principal selling, but trade was light,
with the undertone strong. Cash prices
were 6c to 6c over December. Export
clearances for the week were 1,6!9,00J.
-" Barley sold more readily, ' shippers
taking all,, and a firmer undertone was
apparent.
Domestic sales of wheat at Chicago were
io.ooo bushela to mills, 126,000 bushele-
coriT, ynciuaing za.ooo bushels for export,
65,000 bushels oats, and 5,000 bushela bar
ley. ' '
Wheat prices at Chicago were called
l4c lower, although the actual .business
was little under that of Saturday's pricey
there being sellers at about the same
prices as on that day. Premiums were
easy and the wido difference In quality
necessitated a good range. Omaha re
ported 10,000 bushels sold at 11.60, .Min
neapolis was unchanged to 2c higher,
Kansas City l2c lower, St Louis steady
to 2c Jitghor on reds and l2o higher on
bard Winters. Omaha generally unchanged.
- Elevator people were the best buyers of
corn at Chicago with prices l2c lower.
Industries bought veyr little, the Corn
Products' company being out of the market
Kansas City was unchanged, Omaha un
changed to 3c lower; St Louis, 243
lower, and slow, Indianapolis, l2c lower.
Receipts were 299 cars.
Oats anchansed to o lower at Chicago,
with receipts 116 cars. Outride markets

Demand for Wool an d V
Hides Dropping Off;
Market Takes Slump
Millions of hides and millions of
pounds of wool are stored in ware.,
houses of the country witli no mar
ket whatever for either commodity,
according to a statement by Presw
dent Boyd of the Armour Leather;
company.
Consumption of wool in the
United States is estimated at 58,000,"
000 pounds, 18,000,000 pounds lest -than
the amount consumed a year
ago. Hides are unsalable and quo
tationsT are reported as nominal in
the same respect that the wool trade : ;
is nominal. , Heavy stocks of un
sold wool are reported in storage t
Boston, Chicago and other ; largo
centers. . ,
President Boyd expressed , the ;
opinion that total suspension of op
eration will be necessary unless the
demand for hides improves. He
said tanneries are operating at 30 per' ,
cent of normal volume and that
less than 10 per cent of the New
England 6hoe factories are , in op
eration. The leather industry has
never before been so hard hit.-
Colorado Farmerg Must -Buy
Cattle to Use Up Feed '
Tohn Page, farmer and live stockT
raiser of Eaton, Colo., was a visitor, (
at the stock yards yesterday, look- ;
ing for feeders. Mr. Page said there
was such an abundance of feed that,
it would be compulsory for farmers
of Colorado, to get cattle and aheep
to fill their pastures.
"In my neighborhood the farmers
have raised about 250,000 tona of
sugar beets for which they will get
$12 a ton. Nearly SO per cent of the
beet acreage is harvested and the rest ."
will be gathered by November 1. The
Great Western Sugar company will ,
pay to farmers of my section about ...
$3,000,000 and payments will be part- .
ly made about the middle of Novem -ber.
which will give the farmers a v
working capital to buy live stock.1
