Chicago Trtbun-Oanaha Bee Leased Wire. New York, Dec. -a. Today's mar kets again gave evidence of the un certainty and .conflicting judgment which exists regarding different aspects of the , situation. VVhile for eign exchange showed considerably increased steadiness, silver bullion declined still further. . The cotton market held barely isteady, and wheat fell 5 cents per bushel, though recovering nearly all that loss be fore the close.' On the Stock Ex- c hinge prices , moved with great ir-J regularity alf qay, again with distinct weakness in the industrials. Net de clines of 1 to 3 points in that part of the market! were fairly numerous, , and the greater part of theactive list on the other hand, the railway shares held pretty uniformly firm and closed in a number of instances at art net recovery. . . . , StJ' All of-this movement was aceom- 7MpErnied by the now familiar talk of tuntier business distress, an tne approval of a plarito defer dividends by the-executive committee of ons industrial company the United States Food - Products company, which had been paying 8 per cent annually until the trade reaction came gave "a natural ' emphasis to such discussion. ' Call Money Steady. The atock market continued to show slgna of pressure, by professional specula tors, but without attracting support. 'In the money market there was no change; the 7 per cent call money rats was main tained with the'same uniformity as was the 10 per cent rate at the height of the general credit etrtcgeocy. .' . The treasury's announcement of a $500, 000,900 new issue ofVlK months and one year certificates at 6 and 6 per cent was not unexpected by the banking com munity, who knew that fully $1,000,000, 000 of older Issues were due to mature In the next five weeks. The general public, however, had probably expected that the Income taa paymente would be more of an offset to these maturities thaa they ac tually will be, and in any casafthe shift ing of balances Incident to the new of fering will naturally emphaaiso aomewhat tho money tension of the general Decem ber settlements. -' ' . -Foreign exchange moved Irregularly to day, but with, a tendency to slow recovery, especially In rates on the Scandinavian market. Silver bullion, however, con tinued Its downward course, reaching a new low price for the year to date, both at ' London and New York. In view of the sterling market decline and of the recent tendency of our own foreign trade to Increase our exports and reduce our lmnorts, today'f statement of England's total foreign trade for November is of special Interest. ...... British Bxporta Increase. Export of British products increased sub stantia; It waa 7,000,000 pounds greater than In October, and 32,000,000 greater than In November, 1919, and It has never been exceeded In, value .except for last July. Theae larger export were ac companied ' by the smallest Imports of the year to date, with tho result that the surplus of imported merchandise over exports, Including Imported goods re-ex-pocted, was laat month only 11,790,000 pounds. Except for the 8,042,000 pounds of last July, this much la the smallest "Import excess" since the war began. In November of 1913, before the war, the Import aurplus was 15,711,000 pounds or larger than last month's. Changed prices of commodities affect this comparison, but eye so, the fact remains that the actual cash balance of trade against Eng land Is below the monthly prewar figure. Bradstreet's average -of commodity prices, on December 1 shows the excep tionally large decline of 13 per cent dur ing November and of ii per cent from the high point of the year. There Is possibly no parallel in 'our history for so great a shrinkage In the general average, within periods so restricted; at any rate. It .cannot be matched id any correspond ing periods after 1907 or 1893 or 1973. Prices on no other- foreien markets have shown declines anywhere approaching ours, unices me per cent aeenne in Japan In , the three months after March should be so considered. Tho decline In Eng land -from the highest waa 21 per cent. The Bradstreet general average of De cember 1 if lower than any reported since November, 1916, four months before the united States went to .war,. . j New York Quotations 784 ' 7 87 3 19 19V 19 82 I Reading Co.

MICHAELS. Chicago Tribune-Omaha, Bee l eased Wire, Chicago, Dec; 8. Action of the grain markets was erratic with sharp break 4ti bulge 'and an irregular finish. -Wheat, although 'selling rusher, closed ?Ic to lc lower, while corn was $c higher to Jc lower,- with the strength nr JJecember, and oats higher While -rye lost H2c, and barley was unchanged to 24c lower. '' Provisions slow and closed 2022j4c lower on- lard,' 25c on pork, and unchanged to 20c lower on short rib's.V - s Wheat traders had more? news than they were able to thoroughly digest. There was a firm start on prospects cf a $1,000,000,000 corporation being formed to facilitate export trade. Due to .failure to. get outside help, traders sold out and prices declined 5K?4c, only to regain the loss on buying induced by large export sales which were around the largest of the season, the final figures making the business 3;SOO,000 bushels, including- 2,000,000 bushels Manitobas.- Jb-ven this buying failed to hold the ex treme advance as last sales were at recessions of 2!3c from the top. Nhortfl Cover, Lower prices for stocks, cotton, silver and Canadian exchange were bsarlsh In fluence at times, while the announce ment from Washington regarding a Joint resolution asking tor an embargo on im ports caused uneasiness among the shorts and induced liberal covering. At the same time there were rumors of possible large deliveries of Canadian wheat here. The best Information is th.t the Can adian wheat afloat for th eaat has all been sold and there will be no winter storage ana little pressure after tha close of navigation. Seaboard houses wbre larj? buyeraof wheat H71 day and those who do a big speculative business for tho east were liberal sellers at the close. Salea of 100,000 bushels were made to go to store, while deliveries were 76,000 bushels. Corn was under pressure part of the day from local "Waders, while the big commission houses absorbed the offer ings and recent shor sales were, cov ered which helped .the price at times. Oie range was less than 2c. Cash price were unchanged to 2c lower, the latter on new No. 4 yellow. Receipts, 70 cars. There was liberal buying of December corn against sales of May, and at the finish the" spread was 2c, ggainst 8c tho previous day. , ' ' Business In oata was largely local, ana the volume light. Offerings were not heavy and the strength in other grains had Its Influence. Cash prices were un changed to 1 cent lower with 50,000 bush els sold to the seaboard and 35,000 bush els for domestic shipment. Arrival, were 43 cars. ' Seaboard .houses sola December and bought May rye while local elevator In terests did the reverse. Export sales were 400,000 bushels, partly on the basts of 18 o over December f. o. b. New York. Barley was neglected and unchanged. Pit. Notes. P. S, Goodman, with Clement-Curtis A Company, makes condition of winter wheat 90.6, compared with 86.2 last year, and a five-year average of 88. The acreage I. 37.162,000, .compared with -37,770,000 last year, and a five-year average 42, 260,000. 4 Next government, report - Is to be Is sued December 14 and will give a review of this year's crops- and prices. Another report is due on Friday, December 17, and will give an estimate of -winter wheat and rye acreage. An eastenn news agency confirmed 1, 000,000 bushels of Canadian wheat worked for export today and it is reported that 100,000 bushtls domestic wheat has also been worked. New Tork also reports 100,000 bushels rye worked; Fort Williams. Ont., wires E. P. Leland Company: Fifteen 'ahlpa, carrying 4, 405,000 bushela of Canadian wheat- have left here during the last 24 hours for United States ports, principally Buffalo. - Broomhall cables: "Offerings of wheat In the United Kingdom ar fair, but the demand Is extremely light. - Arrivals, ot wheat recently have been moderate."
