Omaha, Jan. 5.
Practically all the early trading to
day was in corn and oats, with wheat
neglected. Corn sold at a decline of
, lc to 3c, and generally lc to 2c off.
Oats were off Jc to 'lc, No. 3 white
Jc lower. Demand for wheat was
light. Offerings disposed of op to
a late hour went at a decline of 8c to
10c. Receipts of wheat and corn to
day were fairly substantial. Rye
prices were unchanged. The world's
visible supply of wheat decreased
3,082.000 bushels the last week; corn
increased 1.101.000 bushels and oats
increased ,652,000 bushels. Minne
apolis millers report a much better
flour business in evidence the last
clay or two. Milh there were fair
buyers. Sixty to 65 per cent of the
heat in the three northwest states
ha? left the farms, it is estimated,
and the balance of the crop will
come out slowly. Good demand for
cash wheat at St. Louis from outside
milling concerns was reported, with
scarcely enough good wheat to sun-
' i- J y it. Yesterday's export wheat
di inand was rather light and today's
inquiry was little or none.

the quantlttta on passage this week show.
ducreuHO of 1.000,000 bushels, with an
increase of like amount to the contl

The royal commission on wheat supplies

millers are well supplied with wheat, tak

Think the continued delay of any selling
Of the new Pialte wheat crop will very
likely result In further purchases by con
tinental countries of North American
wheat because chief Importing countries'
takings since August 1 are rather below
frevtoii estimates In spite of the fact
hat theso have been very liberal and tak
ing Into consideration the monoy strin
gency throughout Europe.
Russia is still negotiating a trade ngree
. merit, but it is unlikely that this country
will ship any quantities of fond grains
from the last crop. Arrivals of foreign
wheat tloiir have Increased and the do
mestic output continue to exceed the de
mand. It Is consequently expected there
will be a further lowering of the official
price, which today la quoted at 81 per
BU'k of 280 pounds.
Chicago firm says: In analyzing the,
effect of the passing of the war finance '
bill over the veto of the president it ap
pears evident that congress has done little
to assist the farmer In financing his
crops, but have really taken a backward
step In the matter of deflation and recon
struction. Under the law the corporation
. has no power to loan money to farmer
or companies for the purpose of carrying
grain, cotton, wool or other farm prod
ucts and It activities must be confined
strictly to the loaning of money to ex
porters and hanks properly secured for tho
purpose of financing exports.

New York, Jan. 5. With another
clay of unchanged money rates, the
realy important incidents of today's
markets were the further decided ad
vance in government bonds and the
great strength of sterling exchange.
In the bond market, prices for the
Liberty loans again led the move
ment of the day with some very
striking gains. The iVi per cents
and the 4)i per cents of 1918 went
pratically a point above Tuesday;
advances over last week's closing
prices now range as high as 2j4
points. Even the Victory 4fcjs,
which have lately been much less
subject to t'epression than the oth
ers, sold at the hig'-en prices since
the f'rst week of October.

Chicago, Jan. 5. Depressing in
fluences were numerous and effec
tive in the grain markets today, the
net losses being 2J6JV4c on wheat,
lc on corn, Myt on oats, l&c
on rye and VAc on barley.
Argentine news was the main fac
tor and for the present and im
mediate future is expected to be
more attractive, as it usually v dur
ing January and February. Argen
tine wheat was said to be offered
to Germany at 15c to 20c under
American from the gulf. The British
commission was out of the market
and apparently is using its influence
through the Argentine situation, to
get lower prices.
It has asked for a definite state
ment regarding the export tax on
grain from that country and the buy
ing from there is regarded as large

Total Deposits Exceed Total
Loans by 4 Millions, -Reflecting
Deflation.
Total deposits exceeded total loans
of Omaha banks by more than
$4,000,000 on December 29. Con
tinued deflation is reflected by this
fact, and although both deposit
and loan.s are several million less

December 29 call found Omaha

quence ot genuine reinvestment,
coupled with some! clearing away
of last month's delusions about the
national revenue. What was almost
equally striking today, however, was
the active buying and half to three
quarter point advance in the num
ber of long-term bonds of Euro
pean governments.
Sterling Advances. ,
Sterling advanced no less than 9 tic t.i
the pound, making a total recovery of
lCKc from laHt week' lowest, and 8214C
fr"m the bottom figure of the season
(reached early in November) acd reach
ing the highest rate since the third week
cf August.
In i the main, today's noteworthy ad
vance, like all of the past month's re
covery, reflected progressive rtmoval of
actual money tension In our market
there are other contributing Influences
such as the fact that, since October. Eng
land has purchased only 660,090 bales nf
cur cotton, and at very low prices, as
against more than 1,000,000 bales, booghl
at prices twice as nigh. In he corre
sponding period a year before. What this
meant was shown plainly enough by the
decrease In our November surplus of ex
ports to England cf $29.0I0,000, a com
pared with Octobtr, and of 174.000,000,
as compared. -wlhk Novemher, 1919. Theo
Influences have een visibly at work for
many weeks. It is probahle that today's
unusually violent advance wa due to the
sudden discovery of the fact by belated
speculators or by International merchants
who had let their drafts accumulate and
oerstayed their market.
v Business Uncertain.
Business on the stock exchange r
Itpsed In a purposeless backward and
forward movement, reflecting little but
the restless activities of professional
speculators. Prices declined under such
auspices all the way from a fraction tJ
several points, after which thy recov
ered most or all or tne earty i.isscs. in
the end net declines and net advances
v tre about equal in number and few of
them imnortant. How far the reduction
cf dividends has been discounted In ad
vance, thereby toeing Its Influence el
present values, was shown by the lack of
itsponse to the cutting in two of the
quarterly rate on Mldvale Steel shares. I
The general marxet was stronger iiwr
the announcement than before and Mid
into Mtnek ItKalf closed only 114 lower.
Probably Wall street was relieved that I
the dividend had not oen entirety
ticnded; It had expected the worst. In this
os in other similar cases. No dt-unt there
will be further Instance to now tnn in?
Indiscriminate pessimism of last month
was overdrawn.

In analyslzing the effect of the passage
of the war finance bill over the veto of
the president. It appears evident that con.
gress has dono little to assist the farmer
in financing his crops, but ha really
taken a backward step In the matter of
deflation and reconstruction. Under the
law the corporation ha no power to loan
money to farmers or companies for the
purpose of carrying grain, cotton, wool
or other farm products and It activities
must be confined strictly to the loaning
of money to exporter or banks properly
secured, for the purpose of financing ex
ports. ' New York Cotton.
New Tork, aJn. S. Cotton was strong
from the start. It opened up 33 to 45
points for the general list and 63 points
for Janttarv and after a reaction which
carried It down 15 to 20 point when the
National dinners' association published
its crop estimate of more than 13,000,000
hales, with ll 640,000 bales ginned to Jan
uary 1 It turned strong again and by clos
ing time had scored net gains of 88 to 95
points for tho active months.
The strength was due to better trade
report, to renewed strengh In the south
ern spot markets and to the bulge In the
foreign exchange market As for the
trade, it appears that the "white sales"
are beginning to make an Impression on
the situation by cutting stocks In the
hands of retailers, a development which
hi resulted In the placing of some new
orders with the manufacturers. Trade
advices today Indicated that trade orders
were qolrkenlr.g somewhat.

Price Tendencies in

By jZylt
In the January issue ofi
THE NATION ' BUS1-,'
NESS, George E. Roberts,
Vice-President, of the Na
tional City Bank, New
Vork, says that prices in
general will seek the level
of prices on agricultural!
products. 1 This is based on
the fact that the farm
produces about one-third
of the annual wealth produced
in the United ' States. Conse
quently the agricultural popu
lation holds the x balance of,
purchasing poer, and general
prices must therefore? be such
as to enable the farmer to
purchase commodities on the
Jiasis of fair exchange.
According to Dun's Index,
agricultural products were'
'Ar higher on Dec 1, 1920,
than on March 1, 1914, where
as other products were 92
higher. It is the consensus of
opinion that agricultural pro
ducts will advance over the
December 1st level. By the
first of next March, the index
Kon these products will, prob
ably be 35 to 40 higher
than cn March 1, 1914. -
If prices in general arrive
at the level of those on farm
products, there will be a reduc
tion of about 27 in the prices
of all commodities except farm
products. Arrival at the pre
dicted level of March 1st
means liquidation of present
inventories on the basis of re
placement costs. This process l
is aireaay taxing piace ana rne
theory ts therefore supported
by actual tacts.
It is probable that the stim
ulation of buying induced by
price reduction will mise the
price level for the whole year
of 192 above that predicted
for March 1st
In view of these facts, the
writer believes that the price
situation to be developed In
the next quarter will be a suf
ficient incentive for a great re
vival of construction work.
Now is therefore the time to
draw up plans for buildings to
be erected in the spring. Those
who have building Ideas should
sot them on paper at once.

-
The new insurance written during the year, in
the twenty;three states in which we operate,
reached the splendid total of $43,423,500, a gain
of 47.5 over the record of 1919.
Our home state, Nebraska, furnished us with
$5,263,000.00 of new insurance during the year,
$952,500.00 of which was written in the month of
December. This would seem to Indicate that life
insurance for protection only is rapidly growing in
popularity.
-
The mortality in our rmy of over fifty thousand
policyholders was less than half of the "expected"
mortality, according to the American Experience
Table .of Mortality, which indicates the care with
which our risks are selected.
Our assets, consisting of First Mortgage Farm
Loans, Government and Municipal Bonds, Cash in
Banks, and Accrued Interest, total $4,065,162.11,
having increased $656,083.48 during, the year.

Our growing popularity is due to the fact that we
are the leader in all essential respects of those in
stitutions devoted exclusively to the cause of Pure
' Life Insurance Protection, the one feature of a
life insurance policy of real value, both to the in
