Cattle Only about 1,400 head of cattle
were received today; but as packers are
not killing- torhnrrow they had no orders
even for the few that were here and the
jiMrket was a lifeless affair. Shippers
'iXjS'ht fw Inttrla fit the. hest cows and
'heifers were weak to 26o lower, but pack
ers' bids .were fully 60c lower where they
mado offers at all. In the steers' trade It
wns even worse, 'bids of 60cfl.00 lower
. than yesterday being the beet that were
obtainable up to a late hour. One or
two loads that sold on first rounds looked
26850o lower, a top of flO.OO was made

4 363By ALEXANDER DANA NOYES.
New York, Dec'. 24. The bank
statements, wheih were published
this afternoon because of tomorrow's
holiday, were highly favorable. With
the associated banks a large reduc
tion in loans, and in -deposit liabili
ties, accompanied by $20,900,000 in
reserve credits at the federal bank,
caused $22,300,005 mcrease n tne sur"
plus, which was thereby brought to
the highest figure since November
13. The more important showing,
however, was that of the New York
federal reserve bank, which reported
for the ratio of cash 'reserve to de
posits and outstanding .notes an in
crease from 39.1 per cent to 39.9.
This is the highest percentage since
the large rediscounting incident to
the government's operations began
three weeks ago. It is ctill an un
duly low ratio; although 2& per
cent above the year' low mark, it is
3J4 per oent below the percentage
of the last week of September. By
a not uninteresting coincidence, it is
almost exactly the same as at this
date last year, but the surrounding
circumstances differ widely. Redis
counts and note issues are larger
now even than "a year ago, but there
is reason to regard the present high
figures for those .accounts as tempor
ary, in the sense that very extensive
reduction in both, such as could not
occur in the credit inflation of that
period, is now almost certainly be
fore us.
Circulation Increased, '
Circulation and rediscounts wero In
creased substantially this present week,
the rising reserve ratio being a conse
quence of yfargo Increase in reserves,
chiefly through settlements by other re
serve banks. But the actual situation
will be shown two or three weeks hence.
On the stock exchange today's move
ment of prices was irregular, marking on
the whole, a reaction from Thursday's
ubrupt advance. Active industrials were
lower, some of them losing 2 to 3 points.
Ther were- rather numerous signs of
Viofesslonal activity, but the day's busi
ness was much the smallest of any day
this week. Call money did not vary from
7 per cent all day; e-xchange on Europe
was pretty uniformly lowor.
Liberty bonds continued their recovery
of Thursday, reselling a price 1U points
aoovo tno low level or lant Monday, ana
leaving the week's not changes unlm
rortant in the active issues. This recov
ery was perfectly logical. Last Decem
ber, In face of tb,e throttling Influence
of the severe money tension. Liberty
bonds recovered M point In Christmas
week and 4 to 1 point In the last week
of the year. They were bought even then
for the "January investors." whereas at
iresent, with the money stringency In a
way to be definitely relaxed, they were
selling 6 to 7 per cent under their prices
of a year ago. No doubt, on the oiher
hand, the standing in the investment
market has been at least temporarily af
fected by the statements made this past
week to the senate committee at Wash
ington in regard tp the outlook for the
national finances.
Better Times Forecast.
Week-end reviews of the country's mer
cantile trade hardly reflect the traditional
cheerfulness of Christmas eve. Tet, In
some regards, they suggest the early
possibility of better things. The admit
tedly easier credit situation has. exerted
some positive Influence already.
In the south, particularly, a section
where trade paralysis has been longer In
evidence than in any other section, im
provement of retail trade is reported and
reorders by retailers from the wholesale
trade. But retail business elsewhere al
though naturally increased by holiday pur
chares, has been disappointing, and the
mercantile agencies report regarding prices
mat "Dig cuts arc expected next week,
to clean up stocks." It Is Intimated that
rond salesmen will start out promptly
after January first, expecting better buying,
tnis with tne qualification, however, that
"tne spring trade will have to be In
two instead of the usual elx months' time,"

Chicago Grain
By CHARLES D. MICHAELS.
Chicago Tribune-Omaha Bee Leaaed Wire,
Chicago, Dec. 2.4. It was a quiet
day in the grain markets, with trad
ing devoted largely to evening up
for the Christmas holidays. News
was scarce and local influence had
more to do with price making , than
any other factor. Sentiment was
mixed and prices at the last were
c higher to lc lower on wheat,
with December showing the most
strength. Corrslost -lie to lc, with
December leading. Oats were un
changed to lclowcr, the iatter"bn
December while rye lost 34lc,
barley c, lard 35c, and ribs IS to
30c, while pork gained 20c.
Choice ifrr. 2 red ..winter wheat
at Chicago sold at 38c over Decem
ber, the biggest premium on the
crop, an advance of 3c over the pre
vious day's basis. Hard winter and
springs were firm. 'Receipts, 12 cars.
Outside markets were unchanged to
N3c lower with Kansas 'City leading.
Little Interest Shown. -
, Less Interest was taken In wheat thati
at any time In weeks. There was very
little news to trade on and while the mar
ket had good support from importers and
houses with New York connections, suffi
cient selling developed on the strong spots
to carry prices off 2,0 on the deferred
futures, with close lo to l!4c above the
low point. December was strong and
closed at the highest at $1.71. while May
was 81.65 to fl.65. Export business was
pnlys415.000 bushels to Belgium, although
mere were indications or more. But It was
not reported.
Corn was under pressure from the cash
Interest and prices for the latter were 4c
lower at the close Country offerings were
not large, but the demand here was slow
and mostly from elevator interests. Phil
adelphia reported Indiana and Ohio of
fering corn there. A feature was the tig
buying of July, and selling of May by
Wagner and the reverse by F. S. Lewis,
at lower than Chicago. Shipping sales
were 145,000 bushels, including 50,000 bush
els for export. Receipts. 179 cars. De
liveries were 190,000 bushels, y
Cash bouses, sold oats freely Md De

mand slow and cash prices easier. De
cember was scarce arid rallied l'ic from
the low point, ,
nt Notes. V
The Board of Trade will bei closed to
morrow for Christmas. Foreign markets
are having a holiday. Forelgnb, however.
are buying considerable wheat for this
time of the year.
There is a feeling among wheat trad
era that unless foreign buying continues
in good volume prices are likely to re
cede. Outside buying support is light.
There is a little hedging coming In all
the time, which satisfies the ordinary
buying.
Corn specialists are in the main bear
ish, although not pressing the selling
side. Weakness in cash corn with, pre
miums receding affect the December. Ele
vator people (are taking the cash grain
and deliveries on December trades are
enlarging.
Continental', cables report Argentine
wheat offerings for January-February
shipment at eciual to 6c under gulf wheat.
las' he Argentine price Including export tax
I IBs equal to 14c per bushel.
Corn has not moved as freely this year
as last, the aggregate at primary markets.

New York Cotton.
New York, Deo. 24. In contrast to de
clines of 18 to 15 points In nearby de
liveries at the New York cotton opening
late positions were 5 to 10 points higher.
In general, the market was steady with
subsequent advances all around, based
partly on reports that Great Britain had
made a trade agreement with bolshevik
Russia. The later list was 20 to 26 points
net hlgheiw with offerings light and
scattered.
Covering by December shorts sent the
price up to 14.92o during the middle of
the morning and 47 points net higher,
but the last sale was at 14.83c. Later
months were sustained by the strength
of the near position during the 'forenoon,
sr'llng about 27 to 32 points net higher,
wilh January touching 14.92c and March,
14.89c. This met some scattered realis
ing by recent buyers for a prehollday
rally and the market was back to about
last night's closing quotations shortly
after midday, with trading very quiet.
The afternoon market was extremely
oulet, with January about 14 points nat
higher.

Julius Barnea OjHimisticas
To Wheat Price Prospects
The New York Evcntg Mall quotes Mr.
Julius Barnes In an interview:
"The presumption la erroneous that the
present crop nf wheat rests In the hands
of growers will; the constantly declining
prices now under the cost of production
and threatens disaster Vb the agricultural
industry, recognised as the most Impor
tant Industry in America,
"Contrary to the popular Impression, tha
wheat situation Is simply this: 19 per
cent of the wheat crop Is seeded, fed and
consumed. Of the remaining the exact
records of the Grain corporation covering
three years show that the first months of
the crop year preceding December 1, an
average of 76 per cent is marketed by the
farmer. For the five months Just ended
the average farm price on this was 92.17,
against f 2.12 a year ago, and an average
for 79c for 1918, before the war. It fol
lows, then, with only 26 per cent of this
crop to market It is not the grower who
is suffering moat severely in the wheat
price drop, which has followed the general
price deflation In all commodities. It is
the grain buyers of our own and foreign
landa who overbet upon a declining mar
ket. The ' grain farmer" la undoubtedly
sufferlng.'l-continued Bares, as Is all In
dustry, from the necessity of liquidating
high-priced production on a deflated mar
ket but If Is no kindness to, him to build
extravagant expectations from the War
Finance cornoratlon or any other legisla
tion. The economic demonetization In Eu
rope Is now exerting Us Influence here
and must be faced.
"It la certslnly unwise and probably
foolish to hastily construct an ill consid
ered tariff wall on the assumption that
the price has been 'broken down by Im
ports of 20,000.000 of Canadian Wheat,
free of duty, when the buying economy of
our own customers In the same period re
duced mill purchases by 70,000,000 bushels.
If Americans examlno the facts In other
directions, instead of without examination,
accepting rumors and Ignorant assertions,
swayed by panic, we may find a basis
generally for application of the American
qualities of Industry resourcefulness and
courage and work out our own salvation
without relying solely on legislation whioh
may prove powerless to deflect economic
currents holding out vain hopes and tend
ing to undermine self reliance."
Europe's trouble, Mr. Barnes believes,
already shows signs of Improvement The
.worst evil, fright in this country, he
considers to be already on the road to re
moval as the nation IS coming to realize
the psychology of late unpleasant ex
perlencel.
lthough certainly more optlmlstlo to
wheat price prospects than those' who
have been p'aylng thn market, Mr, Barnes
would make no prediction ar to figures.
He pointed out, however, that large fluc
tuations have now ceased: that there is
a deficiency ot wheat supply throughout
eastern Europe; that Canada lias only
n little over 100.000,000 burhels to mar
ket between now sad next fall; that In
dia, Australia and Argentine, so far as
present Information extends, have no ex
traordinary crop: that the cost of trans
portation from those distant sources Is a
factor In favor of the United States; that
the world J 1 1 surely rals money to buy
wheat aheadN of any other staple, for It
must have wheat to live.
