Market, Financial and Industrial News of the Day
Financial
By ALEXANDER DANA NOYES,
Chicago Tribune-Omaha Bee teased Wire,
Xew York, Dec. o A more ir
regular movement than that of the
two preceding days occurred on
tuost of the markets today, but as a
rule with no change from the recent
tendency to firmness. On the Stock
Kxchangc, business was smaller
than that of any day since Mon
day and the uncertain movement of
prices within a narrow range left
the net changes about evenly divided
between advances and declines. The
decrease in transactions, even of the
smaller professional sort, many have
been in recognition of the fact that
the week-end bank statements are
likely to throw some light on it
least the temporary character of the
money market.
There was no change in money
rates today, call loans remaining
at 7 per cent all day, and' loans
for longer periods remaining at
J liui sday s level, with little busi
ness done, ilore attention is nat
urally being paid to the large fi
nancial operations of the government
during the present month. The
quarterly installment on the year's
income and profits taxes will be
payable a week and a half from now,
and the last quarter's payment in
September increased v the govern
ment's revenue collections $513,-1
000,000 over the preceediug month.
t all Money Advances. ,
But on the other hand, the half yearly
Interest on tho $4,500,000,000 Victory
bonds is payable December 15, so that the
money market will be larguly reimbursed.
There was a sharp advanco in call money
rates when the same two operations' co
incided last June, and the higher rates
continued into the following months. That
was before the autumn liquidation in the
credit market, however. The call money
rate at London, which declined from 0 per
cent to 4',, earlier In the week, wont to
4i today.
Foreign exchange was lower today.
Sterling declined Use, touching last
week's lowest figures and tho weakness
was similarly marked in the rates on
franca, Italy and Germany. Such a move
ment Is not at all unusual at the approach
of the end of the year settlements, when a
creditor market is apt to draw down Its
balances on other markets. Older Wall
street men will remember the persistency
with which the foreign exchange marketa
moved against New York during the yarj
when New York was the debtor on In
ternational accounts. Today's weakness In
exchange seemed to be caused mainly by
tho saio of ordinary bills.
Situation Steadier.
The week-end reviews of mercantile
trudo Intilcate, what had already become
vlsiblo in most of the wholesale maaketa,
that the general position has grown sbme
what steadier. That the retail trade
should have improved as the holidays ap
proach was to be expected, hut Brad
street a report suggests that increase In
purchases has been apt to follow retail
price cutting. It is added that the net sales
of 13 wholesale dry goods houses In Oc
tober decreased 34 per cent from last
year and at I houses In the shoe trade
33H per cent, but that 4 reporting con
cerns in. the clothing trade showed in
crease of 7H per cent. November, ac
cording to Bradstreet's, brought the larg
est number of business failure since Jan
uary, 1918, with the largest aggregate lia
bilities on record for the month of No
vember. Liabilities of houses was halved In
10 of the completem months and exceeded
the total of any corresponding time, ex
cept 1904 and 1907.
In a supplementary report, the Depart
ment of Commerce shows that of the
$29,000,000 decrease In our October im
port trade as compared with the preced
ing month. $16,000,000 came from smsller
Imports of raw material of manufacture
and $5,400,000 from decreased Import of
manufactured goods.
Our export of finished manufactures In
October was $55,000,000 larger than in Sep
tember. Taken together, these changes In
the export and import trade from the pre
vious month reflect, first, the slackeing ac
tivity of manufacture, and next the sharp
fait of prices for our manufactured goods,
ttie latter of which movements both de
creased sales of foreign goods In our mar
kets and Increased our own salo of manu
factured goods abroad.

Chicago Grain ,
By CHARLES D. MICHAELS.
Chicago Tribune-Omaha lies Leased Wire.
Chicago, Dec. 3. Grain markets
displayed surprising strength con
sidering the heavy selling and it was
easier to trace the latter than the
buying. There were severe breaks
and sharp bulges, with the close oil
a sharp reaction from the top on
wheat, while coarse grains were at
the highest of the day.
The news was favorable to hold
ers of wheat in all positions, and the
market made a surprising recovery
from the various weak spots. Clos
ing trades were fit gains of Die on
December, while March was un
changed. Corn was $c higher for
December, unchanged on May, and
4c lower for July, while oats were
'4'Bc higher and rye Uic higher.
Provisions were weak and finished
at the low point with , pork oft
57tfc lard 4552'k, and short
ribs 50c lower for the day. t
A rally from the low point in the closing
hour was attributed to shorts who dis
covered that a larger export business was
on than appeared 00 the surface, final
sales being 1,600,000 bBshols hard winter
at the gulf, at higher premiums than
early A great deal of wheat was absorbed
against export .ales. A lot of se lllng was

A feature in corn was the strength in
December, due to covering by shorts who
were reselling with May. Prices moved up
2 cents from the low point, and closed
44 cents under the May. Local shorts

Dun' Trade Review-.
New York, Dec. 3. Dun's tomorrow
will say:
"Slitns of betterment in business sen
timent, If slow to appear, are rather
more distinct In certain quarters. The
retail movement, although lacking the
desired breadth. Is accelerated as the
holidays draw near, and some primary
marketa are recovering a llttlo from
their lethargy.
"Tho whole situation is uneven and
uncertain, as ts natural in a time of
readjustment and the general policy of
deferring important action until condi
tions become more stable. After the
turn of the year, when results of In
ventorying and Christmas trade shall
have been made known, tho future busi
ness outlook may seem less obscure."
