By ALEXANDER DANA NOYES.
Chirac) Tribune-Omaha Its Leased Wire.
, New York, Dec. 16. The move
ment of real importance in today's
financial markets was not the ir
regular weakness on the Stock Ex
change nor the recurrence of a' 6
per cent rate for call money though
the money rate again, indicated that
today's large financial operations
had actually eased- the credit market
but the very decided recovery in
foreign exchange. On top of its
considerable rise of Tuesday, ster
ling advanced today no less than
3$i)C, reaching a rate ne'arly 7 cents
above Monday's lowest, and closing
at the best. .Rates on all important
continental markets moved similarly.
French exchange also closed at the
highest, gaining nearly z per franc
over Monday.
It is impossible to ascribe this re
covery to anything else than the re
laxing of our own money market
tension, which has now during, sev
eral weeks removed the urgent in
ducement to call in balances from
abroad, even at the heavily depre
ciated values.
Different Indications,
In. the closing week of 1919 and at tho
opening of the present year, the European
exchange rates slid not recover; on the
contrary, they declined continuously and
thereby oorrectly foreshadowed h state
of continued abnormal money atrlngencv
which prevailed on the New Tork market
throughout the traditional period of re
turning ease. At the proaent moment the
exchange market Is giving a different and
more favorable Indication.
Tho multitude of Independent influences
which affect The course of international
exchange, especially in this period of de
preciated values makes It often unsafe to
generalise from a single positive move
ment, but the present action of rates,
like their action In advance of th aevere
November stringency Is a sign of th roar
kots that la worth considering. .
x Much DOcertalnty. i
Uncertainties regarding dividends and
lwrplexlty as to the industrial future
were again more dominant Influences on
the Stock Efxchange than money market
considerations. Opening with Irregular
changes, different stocks moved In op
posite directions and there wer advances
as well as declines during the day. But
the general trend was downward and not
withstanding numerous recoveries toward
the last, the day's market resulted In a
fairly long list) of 1; to 2-polnt declines.
It waa noticeable that railroad atocka
held much steadier than industrials.
There was no change In the general bond
market, although one or two well known
Investment Issues . Bjiowed some signs of
good buying.
Today's weekly statement by the Bank
of Franca Indicated continuance of the
very noteworthy movement to reduca the
Inflated paper currency. During the past
week 410,800,000 francs of the bank'a out
standing notes have been called In; which
makes a, total reduction of 2,135,000,000
franos, or 441,000.000 at tha old rating of
the franc, during the past six weeks.

Chicago Grain
By CHARLES D. MICHAELS.
Chicago ffrlbune-Omaha Be Leased W ire.
Chicago, Dec!" 16. Export buying
of wheat aggregated around 4,000,
000 bushels, and rye 300,000 bushels.
England, Italy and Spain were the
largest buyers, the first two coun
tries named taking oyer 2,500,000
bushels. There were 3.000,000 bush
els of wheat at the gulf and 750.000
bushels of Canadian. This was re
sponsible for the advance in prices
for wheat, but when (the buying
ceased all grains eased sharply.
Values were lowest around the
start, from which there was a good
advance with a reaction. Wheat
closed at above the lowest" prices,
while corn and oats finished the
lowest on the crop. December
wheat closed 1 cent higher and
other deliveries lower. Corn
lost llc, oats, l?ee, deferred
deliveries, rye, J454c lower, and
barley, 2c higher to 4c lower.
Domestic shipping sales at Chi
cago were 57,000 bushels of wheat,
80,000 bushels, and 270,000 bushels
of oats.

Corn finished at th weakest In a long
time with free offerings and the main
support buying against bids. Outsld buy

ed. Cash corn was unchanged to 1 cent
lower, with shipping sales 80,600 bushels.
Receipts 94 cars. .
Oats were under pressure from com
mission house and had few friends, the
main support being on resting orders.
The range waa 1 cents. Cash prices
wore unchanged to 1 cent lower and ship
ping business the ' best in some time,
266.000 bushel.
Trading In ry future were heavy,
export buying taking over 300,000 bush

Manitoba at ths aeaboard as reported by
Russell' New. The British commission
took 1,250,000 bushel wheat at the gulf,
Italy, 1,000,000 bushels and Spain 250,000
bushels. There was also 300,000 bushels
rye via the gulf with Indications that the
total business materially exceeded this
figure. ' '
. Heavy buying of .wheat "by housesywlth
seaboard connections offset the effect of
tha bearish Argentine -crop news and of
claims that Australia haa 83,000,000 bushels
for export' It sent price for future up
