Financial By ALEXANDER DANA NOYES. Chicago Tribune-Omaha Bee Leased Wire. Hew Yorlc, Dec. 4. Repeating the usual experience by which a shortage of reserves in one week is followed by a substantial excess in the next, today's, statement of the as sociated banks turned thq previous week's $4,085,000 deficit into a sur plus of $21,981,000. This improve ment in nosition was helped bv a Uairly large reduction cf loans and dfoosits. but the addition or au, 000,000 to reserve credits at the federal bank was the determining influence. Precisely, however, as the previous week's reduction in reserve bal ances of the private institution strengthened the position of the re serve bank, so last week's increase ..f such Hennsit liabilities helDCd in bringing down that bank's ratio of cash to note and deposit iiaDimies from 4074 ner cent to 071 This decline brought 'the reserve percentage to the lowest figure since Kehrttarv lenvincr it ill' fact Otllv 34 of 1 per cent above the low level of the year to date. . This is not an. unusual showing for the last month of the year, but it shows clearly enough why tne aeenne in wan street money rate3 was checked last week Inrree.se In Rediscounts. The reserve bank's statement report ed increase of 362,000,000 in rediscounts, wholly of commercial paper and Its gold reserve decreased 335,600,000. Actual gold in hand Increased some $10,000,000 as-a result of the week's gold imports, but New York's credit In the MJtem central gold fund was Joed 44;005t Large drafts are evidently being made on New York by other ressrve dtstrrcte for approachlngrsettlemenu. Although trading on today a stock roar. 1... .n..!HAmhtv more active than on the preceding Saturday, the change In prices was not, as a itnoie. important. In the Industrial shares which were depressed by profess onal traders at Intervals during the week, a few BUbstanial recoveries occurred, rang ing from 1 to 2 points, up to In Mex can petroloum. All of this movement was admittedly due to the familiar week end "covering of shorts," and had no particular bearing on the larger swing of 'er'llfM.d Adjustment. irnnwi hv the closinr prices", the week, as a whole, brought a curiously con r..: in the stock market Stocks which closed lower than at the be ginning of the week, were as numerous as r..i. ,v,ii, Mnoed higher. In gen eral the railways shares lost ground, and the industrials gained, but there were ex ceptions enough in both groups to make IV difficult to determlrfc the tendency. Perhaps nothing more can be said than that the progressive general decline on the Stock Exchange which continued nearly up ti. .in., nt Nnvombap has been checked. and that the aubsequent movement has been only me Decreasing wv. v.. ... surface, which are left after the eyrrtng of the depths has ceased. In the bond market, ery few advances occurred dur ing last- week as a whole, and there were many declines of 1 to 3 points, tnarklng a loss of 5 pointa or more from the best October prices. . ... Other markets ended the week In some what similar irregularity. Foreign ex7 change went lower, the ratee on London. Parts and Romo getting back to the level of the third week of November.

Good buying on all weak, spots carried grain prices higher and while the top prices were not held; due to profit taking and week-end evening up, there were gains of Jic to 2e on wheat, while corn was unchanged to lie higher, oats J-4fc higher, rye unchanged to lHc higher and barley 1 to 2c higher. News was mixed, with con siderable that was favorable to the holding side. The week developed a better feeling in all grains and despite the pressimistic feeling generally prev alent, the markets showed the ef fect of the recent heavy liquidation and the over-sellino- on the declines, together with a change in the mentat tone, brought a rally.-. At the close wheat showed net gains for the week of ISfo.loy-c, 3-Sc to 6c on corn with December leadine 2Hc to ' 3j-gc on oats, 10c to 134C on rye ana svjtaoc on nanev. rrovisions have done better with pork up $1 per barrel, lard llAz to 15c and short ribs 7'iC higher as compared witn a week ago. ' Milling Demand Kalr. While some export business was reDoried to have bee'i put through In bard winters via tns gulf, details were not given. Mill ing demand for cash wheat was fair with shipping sales here 6.000 bushels. Pre miums were unchanged at lOailn over for No, 1 hard, and ll16c over for No. 1, northern. Receipts, 30 cars. uutsicio markets were 2 5c higher, with red at St. Louis leading. N Corn had good support qji' thn breaks due to unfavorable weather and was sold freely on the bulges by several of the big commission houses. Premiums were low ered to 3c, mostly on new, with the shipping demand taking only 70,000 bu shels,, and the market lc lower to lo higher, new being weak. Receipts were only 89 cars. . - Outs made an advance to new high levels on the present upturn and closed o below the top. iCash houses sold Decem ber, making it relatively the weakest. Cash prices were unchanged to c higher and premiums lost c. Shipping sales were 64.000 bushels and receipts 77 csrs. Rye was bought by seaboard houses, who took December while speculators sold May. The close was at a fair reaction from the top. Barley was firm and higher. P18 Notes. The grain trade is confronted with more adverse legislation than at any time. Those in close touch with the work, while realizing that the situation is a most delicate one, also notice that the Farmers National Grain association at their convention here on , Friday, though having the Capper bill before them failed to endorse it, referring It to their legislative committee. There In wide field for educational work as those familiar with the situation say that the i:ra;n exchanges are being made the goat for all the politicians. The feeling In the grain trade Satur dny night was moderately bullish, especial ly on breaks. The strong statistical situ ation in wheat tends to check selling. There is said to be a large sized t,hrt Itterest, which te Working on the oallef that the export demand may fall off and that any materal advance would In crease the country offerings. It is believed that corn has seen bottom and has sold lower than conditions justify, says W. G. Press & Company. Prices are up 8c from the bottom. Australia shipped 72,000 bishcls of wheat to the United Kingdom and 56,000 bushels to the continent the past week. India shipped 1,090 000 bushcls($,:o the United Kingdom and 144.000 bushels to the con tinent for the week. Private reports from Argentina estimate the surplus of the wheat crop now being harvested at 112,000,000 bushels or 18. 0OO.C00 bushels under Broomhall's figures. Foreign political conditions are com mencing to attract attention from grain traders. There Is a suspicion that for eigners are commencing to anticipate re quirements of wheat In view of , the chaotic conditions prevailing abroad. Primary receipts of wheat for the sea son to date aggregate 199,659.000 bushels, against 272.411, "00 bushels last year. Oats receipts are 91,646,000 bunheis against 86, 842,000 bushels' last year.
