Chicago Tribune-Omaha Bee Foreign New York, Dec. 7. The ebb and flow of speculative influences more than, anything else was illustrated by today's market. On Monday the impprtant commodity markrts" had advanced rapidly while, prices on the stock exchange were declining. To day, despite an irregular movement and a number of further declines, the stock market showetj Consider ably more resisting power but grain and cotton lost practically all of the" previous day's gain in 'prices. In the stock market therevere numerous sharp recoveries during the forenoon, arTecting'both railway and industrial shares arid possibly representing repurchasing by profes sional sellers of Monday, but the same kind of speculative pressure as prevailed the dsjj before checkejl this advance and caused a number of further net declines. ' But the whole movement again had the mark of professional activities and 'was not of itself important. In thetnd tbe losses in one set of stocks were offset by advances in others. v ! Rumors Cause Weaknes. The weakness, especially in some of the irdustrlal shares, was popularly ascr bed to Wall street"rumor" that there might be further reduction In dividends of pro ducing companies. It would be some what surprising if some such reductions or- omissions should not oecurr; there can not be' a fall in priaes and contraction of credit like that of the present season u.,thni,t offeetlnir dividends, but prediction as to such action is worthless if It is un discriminatlng. ' Some Industrial companies naa cm -ly Into their surplus fos dividend purposes before tho reversal of trade conditions, occurred; others had pursued a careful j...iirtin. nnlLv apciimulattn? in tht) tme of good business a reserve which eou'd. if advisable. Be used ior mainiaiimis '- l1.r..1u whpn tirnfltfl had fallen Off. With the last named group, dividend policy is more likely to be determined by the de velopments of next year than by anything that has already happened.. nuuion Silver bullion, after reaching the lowest to date. Monday, de dined a half penny iurtber today at Lon don and 2 V,c at New York: At the days New York price or, oo an " foreign stlvr, the bullion contained in our silver dollar is Intrinsically worth a frac tion under 61c. The foreign exchange mar ket was irregularly weakness being fol lowed by recovery, with the Paris rate clos ing, at a further measurable net decline. The government's report on our Octo ber exports and imports, classified by countries of destination or origin. Is inter esting for several reasons. One influence rtrt 'nrnMn rYi'hanjre ratrs is shown by the fact that, despite the heavy decline in average prices, the excess of exports ovr Imports In trade of that month wtth Eu rope was $345,000,000 whereaa It was only $222,000,000 in September and $317,000,000 October of 1919. Money market condi tions will probably remain the controlling Infli...... In tha .frtmUKR. hut a COnsld- erable increase in the balance of merSPierce-Arrow Mot. rhunilisR trada with that continent must nncessarlly have aggravated the weakness. The change la also a matter or prices and domestlo trade. The month's. Im ports from Europe as a whole were sur orlslnalv little changed from -September of a year ogoi but our October exports to that continent increased $119,000,0011 over September nnd $26,000,00 over 1919; and that increase was unquestionably a reflection of the reduced American prices. - Chicago J.lv Stock.

Action of the grain markets' was reversed with opening sales ground the highest figures, and the close about the low est. The gains of the previous day were more than lost "in most in stances with net declines of 7 8&c on wheat. 2(ffi2jxCs on corn, lHlJc dn oats, 5&6c on rye and f4C on barliy. Provisions were weak and pork lost 40c, lard 20c lower to 12c higher, and short ribs 15 20c lower. Milling demand for wheat show3 signs of increasing. It is expected that 55,000 bushels of the 60,000 bush els delivered on December contracts will beshipped out from Chicago to mills. Kansas Chv reported more liberal sales to mills than for some7 time oast. Red winters, here were slightly easier at 3031c over De- cemoer ior ,io. i. ouuiuwcsiciu markets were l6c lower, and Oma ha 78c lower. LoDg Corn Plentiful. Tintr corn came out in good volumo on all bard spots and disappeared on de clines. December was not wanted with the same urgency and showed the .moat weakness, while May was Dougnt rainy and there was less pressure on the latter. Cash prices wero off lle although premiums on yellow were firmer, and re ceipts only 61 cars. There was big sell inr nf -Mv early, attributed to a local elevator interest. Export inquiry was la the market without resulting in trades. Aside from he buying of December ana selling of May oats by elevator interests and the reverse by commission houses at 8o difference and a little hedging by cash houses. May was sold by houses with eastern connections. Farmersvare not dis posed to sell freely at present prices and ,..ini. were nnv 64 cars, but despite the, light run prices were e lower wltS shipping sales 160.000 bushels, A local cash house bought 'December and sold May rye while nouses w.tn sea board connections did the reverse. A small lot sold -14e over December, track New York, for this month's ship ment. Deliveries on 45,000 bushels went to export houses. Barley declined l2c with slower de mand. Tit Notes. The failure of exporters to follow the recent advance In wheat encouraged sell lng,wlth the result that a drop of 9o from the high of the previous daywaa quickly made. There was little to en courage buying, and the trade was dis posed to take advantage of any .show of weakness to work for lower prices. While there was a little expoet business and buying, which) was regarded as a good class, there was also liberal selling by houses that have been the best buyers. Domestic; shipping, sales of cash grain at Chicago Tuesday were 15,000 bushels Wheat, 65,000 bushels corn, 160.000 oats, and 3,000 bushels barley. .'Deliveries on December contracts were 60,000 bushels wheat, 45,000 bushels rye and 15,000 bush els barley. I With the exception of 160.000 bushels hard winter sold at the gulf to an ex porter who had to fill a cargo and was forced to pay the highest premium- on the crop no sates wre reported to for eigners. A cargsv of Canadian wheat which showed a profit of 20c per bushel to an English buyer was offered for resale, but reports of American wheat and rve for ressle could not be confirmed. Aside from 160,000 bushels wheat sold at the gulf to France tfcere was no ex port business. Milling, oemanu at out side points was better and premiums here held. Apparently the big traders hsve been scared out by fears of adverse legislation. There were deliveries of 200.- 000 bushels on December- contracts at Minneapolis and 80.000 bushels at cntcago.
