By ALEXANDER DANA NOYES,
Chi. ago Tribune-Omaha Boa Lemsed Wlrs.
New, York. Dec. 28. A quiet
money market preyailed today, with
rates for all periods unchanged; a.
bond market in which some prices
went slightly higher and others
slightly lower; a foreign exchange
market whose rates moved witlwsim
ilar lack of uniformity; a commodity
market in which wheat declined and
cotton went to the low price of the
year and the lowest since the mid
dle of 1916, and a stock market
which. ii its mixture of advances
and declines was pretty much a
duplicate of Monday's. The day s
whole movement of values war little
more than embodiment of the utter
perplexity of the financial mind,
tinged with the disappointment
which perhaps supersedes all other
considerations.
In the rather unusually long list of
separate shares dealt in on be Stock
exchange, net declines were the
more numerous, yet the dav's net ad
vances much more nearly balanced
them than a glance at the table would
suggest. Railways stocks, as a
group, were distinctly strong, and
while most of the changes in price
were comparatively unimportant,
only two or three lost ground and
several advanced a point or more.
Comparisons Favorablo.
Aside from the fact, on which pro
fessional Wall Street 'Uys muc strew,
that losses for Income tax ruturns cannot
be as easily "established" by selling rail
way shares at ruling prices by
Industrial .hares, mora consideration vl
clently Is being granted to the Uttorenee-ht
the position of the two groups of ontar.
prises as compared with 1 year a so.
What Is an mora to the point, th
November earnings of the railways, now
in course of publication, are making very
different and far mora lavo.rW ' Com
parisons with 1919 than did those 1 of
September and October. Companies which
In those months actually rtportsd smallet
net receipts than a year ago have a sub
stantial increase tor.hof for November.
This result la -obtained In ost cases through
much largfr net earnings than In ' other,
months since the new rates ara effective.
That Is precisely what railway managers
bad predicted: the retroactive part of the
July wage award must now bo pretty
wuch allowed for in the monthly ac-
CThe''day,s partlclar weakness In various
speculative Industrial shares occurred from
the same causes and under the same
kind of selling as' has characterised the
market for them all this month. Possibly
tho passing of the Anaconda Copper Min
ing company's dividend for tho first time
BliTce 1896J had Its effect, although tho
action was not unexpected and the com
pany's stocks declined only a fraction.
But the accompanying statement of net
profits for the present calendar year In
a somewltat striking sidelight on the ef
fect of the falling prices for commodities
like cjpper. ( . .
t Deficit Large. ,
Even with tho fourth quarterly divi
dend omitted, the actual deficit after
dividends for tho year is 34.400,000. Prob
ably tho suspension of dividends would
not have ueen noted earlier In the year
but for belief in the copper trade, as In
others, that prices of commodities were
bound to recover In the autumn.
The striking inference from the figures
of agricultural 1 experts for November,
published today by the government, is
their proof that tha whole decrease In
last montsrs export values as compared
with 1118 occurred in products of tho
farm. This is quite contrary to the pop
ular impression, which ha been that our
export trade was at present being sus
tained only by grain and cotton. But
while November total exports were 366,
000,000 1 han in the preceding year.
Its agricultural exports fell off 361,100,.
000. From this it follows that, notwlth
t.nifta thn lower crlcea and the flnan.
I ell- reaction In foreign importing mar
bV'ts, last month's xo-ts o no-agilcui-r.....i
..in.iii 14.100.000 areat-
er In total value than in November of
1919.- Probably tho iron and steel trado
accounts for most of this.
In October, when general condition were
the same, our export of wholly or partly
manufactured goods Increased 351,000.000
over 1818. and the complete report on that
month's trade shewed that ths textll
industry contributed 39,000,000 to this ln--....

of Barcelona. Trade was quite active
early. Liverpool and Wall street were
the heaviest sellers on the decline, while

ness, owing to continued southern sell
ing, reports of larger spot offerings, tho
closing weakness of Liverpool and unfa
vorable general trade advices. All active

Bv CHARLES D. MICHAELS,
Chicago Tribune-Omaha. Bre Leased Wire.
Chicago, Dec. 28. Grain markets
had a weak undertone and with Hunt
trading, prices declined and closed
irregular, with wheat J to 3c lower
and corn lc higher to ?4c lower,
the strength being in December.
Oats were unchanged. to He lower,
rye ;4c lower to J4c higher and par
ley l l-4c lower, i'ork closed the

with 1520 cars carried unsold at
St. Louis. The latter: market was
3Sc lower, and Kansas City 45c
lower. Hard winter at Kansas City

changed to 3c lower.
Corn Buyers Active.
Buying of December corn 10 cover open
contracts and credited to a leading in
terest who was active in tno cash .mar
ket picking tip the offerings, was the
main factor. It -strengthened that dellv.
ery, making an advance of 2c, with the
close at 71 c, or 2o under the May. Cash

der the December for No. 4 mixed, inid

Slng sales only 20,000 bushels. Receipts,

lower. . '
V Pit Notes.
Buying of over 1.000,000 bushels wheat
to remove hedges against export saloafl
via tne gull turnisnel tno main support,
but theeage with which the grain was
secured here and in the southwest created
a bearish fueling and induced fair selling
among the local opcratoru. " Despite the
good export business with 45,000 bushels
spring wheat from Chicago for export,
December here closed 3a lower, and cash
markets in the southwest showed weak
ness, with prices unchanged to 60 lower.
kAslde from the export buying, there wqe
utile in tne market otner man tne ex
cess of export clearances of 245,000 bush
els over the primary receipts, the aggre
gate of wheat alone being 976,000 bushels
or more than three times last year's.
Local receipts -were 11 cars.
Foreign demand for wheat was extrmely
active for the holiday season, sales of
around 1,600,000 bushels being reported
via the Gulf, partly against old business,
find there was some Manltobas Bold at
the seaboard in addition. Belgium was
the best buyer, although there wero re
ports of France having taken some grain.
A Chicago house sold 480,000 bushels via
the Gulf and Kansas City did some bus
iness. Shipping sales at Chicago included 45,,
000 bushels No. 3 northern to exporters
at 3c over March, track here, and 6,000
bushels to mills. Sales of corn were 15,
000 bushels and oats 20,000 bushels. 'De
liveries on December contracts aggregated
127,000 bushels wheat, 113,000 bushels corn.

THE TEASER, j.
One of the worst pests is the
teaser. ,
A- He makes it his business to find
out what causes another the greatest
annoyance and then blears hard along
that line. ,
Most persons have sensitive points
and while alluding to them and mak
ing sport to provide amusement for
himself and entertainment for others
may suit the attitude of the teaser
it should not be indulged in.
TheXbetter you knoiV a person
the neater you come to finding out
the other one's eccentricities, weak
nesses, and dislikes. Husbands and
wives should avoid this shoal or jfc
may wreck happiness.
It may suit you Jo dwell a' length
on things which, have a sting for
your husband, your, wife or your

A Prediction
'Vi , '
One of the most inter
esting features of huhian
nature, is mass psychology.
It is remarkable how tho
people of a-country wijl
suddenly reach an almost
unanimous conclusion.
Some ' striking pheno
mena of mass psychology
have bean manifested dur
ing the last few years
the war enthusiasm, the
orgy of extravagance,
speculation and 'profiteer
ing, the , republican land
? slide, and, most peculiar of
"all, the consumers' strike.'
We predict that the next '
great development of mass
psychology will be a flood
of liquidation. This will
not be the result of force
or pressure,; but of com
mon f onsent a sort " of
melting , process, which
suggests Aesop's Fable of
"The Su iind the Wind."
liquidation will gener
, ate "trading, 'it will start
the idle- wheels of produc- t
- tion. It will give employ,
ment to idle workers. It
will relieve the financial
k Stringency anil reduce in
terest rates on money, t .
will stimulate building.
The United "States is
fundamentally sound , and
its' people have an inher
ent sense of fair play.
There is every reason to be
optimistic over the issues
of 1921. "i ,
