Market, Financial and Industrial News of; the Day
Financial
By ALEXANDER DANA NOYES
Chlctgo Tribune-Omaha. Bee Leased Wire.
New York. Dec. 2i. With the
largest total volume of transactions
of any day since April 22, when the
violent reaction of last spring
readied its culmination, the very
severe and general decline occurred
today on the Stock Exchange. The
market, although active from the
start and generally weak, did not
show the full pressure of sales un
til after midday. At that time a
break of rather unusual .proportions
occurred in two stocks whose in'-.
triu sic value "as a" along .been
questionable, but whose prices, in
the extravagant days of last spring
and early summer were manipulated
to about absurd heights.
"Vanadium" and "Replogle" steel
fell respectively 7 to 12 points to
day, possibly because of denial of
further credit" to fhe people who
tppn sustainine the once. This
incident, however Illogical, seemed
' , i . i. : 1 tt a TnAutA onrl
rapid decline in all other quarters, of
the market.
Declines General.
Comparatively few active slmrea es
caped with less. than a net decline of a
full point, and losses of 1 to 6 points
occurred tn stocks as widely diversified
In character as Baldwin Locomotive,
Southern Pacific. International Paper,
Rock Island, Mexican Pctroleim, Central
Leather. Utah Copper and Readlns. To
wards the last, tt was evident ihat the
heavy Hies at the declines wece ha re
sult of exhausted "margins" of specula
tors, large And small. There was little
or no recovery at the elos. In Liberty
bonda there was a alight raeovery.
It was again possible to .say that noth
ing in the Vfall street news, present or
prospective, could be assigned as a di
rect explanation of.' the market, which.
In fact, can be accounted for only by the
absence of any confident support for prices,
such as has been evident during all of the
past fortnight. That attitude will some
times mean that still more unfavorable
developments In the general situation are
to come.
Conclusion Difficult.
But It may also Indicate belief that In.
vestment prices had not yet adjusted
themselves to the level prescribed by th
probable earning power under the changja
industrial conditions. At some point lit
ruch a process of readjustment that level
will be reached or passed, and the market
will reflect It promptly. The culmination
of a prolonged and exhausting downward
movement, like the culmination of a simi
larly prolonged advance, will usually
come In one day's market of abnormally
lnrge transactions and unusually wide
change in values. But it Is no J. always
easy to detect the moment, and the lack
of recovery at the last today, made It
difficult to draw conclusions.
Tho money market had no visible -pe't
In the day's mqvement on the stock ex
change. Call loans. In fact, went at 6
pei cent; again at one time In the after
noon, and (the foreinn exchange market
scored a general recovery, despite late re
action In rates on London and Italy.
The wholesale cash prices of cotton,
cr.oper and one or two other staples, went
below the year's previous low record.
Wheat, after its familiar alternation ot
spasmodic advanco or decline, ' closed
lov,er.

Chicago Qrain
By CHARLES D. MICHAELS.
.Chicago Tribune-Omaha Bee Leased Wire.
Chicago, Dec. 21 Sentiment in the
grain markets was shaped largely
by the demoralization in Wall Street
and by statements regarding the ft
nancial conditions in general. It
inspired selling by all classes of trad
ers and at the same time called
forth support on weak spots from
some of the strongest interests.
Prices advanced early, only to meet
opposition and decline. At the fin
ish wheat showed losses of to. 3c
with May leading. Oats were up
JjjC for May and unchanged for De
cember, and rye fcc higher for De
cember and c lower for May. Corn
was the strengthening factor of all
grains and closed H to lc higher.
All things considered, the grains
gave a good account of themselves.
Milling demand for cash wheat
was fair with premiums tlightly
easier, with No. 1 "red at 333Sc and
No. 1 hard 68 over December. No.
3 northern sold at 20c over March,
track Baltimore. Receipts 22 cars
Outside markets were rather dull
with prices 2c higher to lc lower.
Large Corn Offerings.
Com had support on weak spotB from
the same interests so conspicuous of last
while on the bulges commission houses
had plenty to sell.
At 76o for May. which was barely
touched, there was moro offered than
buyers wanted and a break of nearly 2c
followed. Country offerings were larger
despite the snowy and colder weather In
the west and northwest. Cash premiums
weakened while cash prices went 3o high
er. Arrivals were 140 cars. Shipping sales
were 7000 bushels domestlo and 160,000
bushels export. Wagner was a buyer of
July around the top and a seller 4n the
break. May closed at 74074c.
Local traders were buyers of oats
around the top v. and commission houses
sold. Strength in corn assktcd In making
an advance to 60 o for May while the
close was at to o under the figure.
Cash prices advanced 1 to 2c with arrivals
only 68 cars. ' .--
Seaboard houses were-etlv buyera of
rye. taking May and DeeVtibet, and ex
changing the May for tho latter when
possible. Exports - were behind the or
ders with 30O.000 bushels sold. All the
rye taken In on December delivery la be
ing ordered shipped with 60,000 bushels to
go out af once. Barley was neglected by
speculators while maltsters were thebest
buyers of cash lots.

In Acreage of
WinterWlieat
3,301,000 Acres Sown in Ne
braska This Year, as Against
3,368,000 in 1919 Crop
90 Per Cent Normal. .
Lincoln, Neb., Dec. 21. In spite
of the very favorable autumn season
for the seeding of winter wheat, the
acreage isxreSuccd 2 per cent over
last year, according to the prelimi
nary estimate just announved by A.
E. Anderson of the bureau of crop
estimates and Leo Stuhr of the
state department of agriculture
This gives the state a total of 3,301,
000 acres as compaVedMo 3,368,000
acres sown a year ago. The har
vested'acreages were 3,716,000 acres
in 1919 and 3,335.000 acres in 1920.
The 1921 harvested acreage depends
upon the percentage of the plattted
acreage that survive? the winter.
These figures show a tendency on
the part of farmers, Mr. Anderson
says, to Reduce the winter-wheat
acreage so as to limit the supply
to the demand"- .
The condition of winter wheat is
90 per cent as compared to 91 per
cent a year ago and V.8 per cent,
the five-year average. The condition
remains very poor in some of the
western counties due to lack of mois
ture. Heavy1 . atiaumn winds did
some .damage throughout the state.
and were threatening serious dam
age until relieved by moisture.
The preliminary estimate of rye
totals 278.000 acres as compared to
264,000 acres sown a year 'ago. Rye
acreage made a steady increase
from 83,000- acres in 1909 to 408,000
acres in 1919, and then dropped to
264,000 acres in 1920. The condi
tion of rye is 90 per cent as com
pared to 95 pes-cent a year ago.
