(Special.) -Interviews with farmers, bankers, merchants, real estate , dealers and elevator men disclose the following situation with reference to the pres ent slump in prices of farm products and its effect on business in this locality! " - During the period of small grain harvest, farmers brotifrht to mar ket the usual amount of wheat, oats and barley, excepting where there was a short?:f?e of freight cars. At Fairhury, sufficient cars were on , hnnd, but on branch railroad lines, 'cars were very scarce and not much wheat was shinped out. Up until the price fall had assumed considerable momentum, farmers marketed their wheat in the usual manner. After the markets had become demoral ized, fnrmrs held back and since that time have " only brought to market .such wheat as was' necessary in order to supply them -with money toytnoetthcir immediate needs. , "No Old Corn Left. , , . So far as corn is concerned, the time -has just arrived for general marketing of this crop. As there was scarcely any old - corn in this vicinity, the fall in price of corn, co incident with wheat, had no effect on marketing. " 1 . The general attitude of the farm ers, is to reiuse to sell when the market falls and to begin to sell as it rises. This situation will prevail just as lone; as the, farmer can hold . out. .If he is not in debt he can ho!d out much longer than if he is. consequently the; refusal to extend further credit forces the debtor farm ers to put their grain on the market, regardless of price. Also,, in past years, Cheap corn always -meant a lartre number of cattle in the feed yards, but farmers do not like to" . a?k for monev to feed cattle and ' would' probata;' be refused if they did ask for it. -! Bankers Extending Credit. s , Bankers are extending all the credit at this I time they can carry. -Their loans were made on the basis of prices prevailing at the time the lJan was made, not at the time it tarar due. The, bankers made the usual allowance tor a tail m price or other depreciation of their security, butane fall in price has been, so much gtsater thar ever experienced before, that they find their security more or less precarious ' and are forced .to ' refuse new .credit.- bend ing all their efforts in caring for 'old customers "and getting in, new loins, r ".. v Most of the elevators in-this local ity are in fairly , good condition, although undoubtedly 'losing nior.cy So far as learned, they usually have sold, grain before. buying, thus pro tecting themselves. .

The merchant is placed in the same posi tion as the farmerhe is struggling to protect himself from loss. . Bankers report conditions some what better: lately, but there are un doubtedly a large number of weak spots yet to be uncovered. The fact that fliis vicinity has been very con servative in values, espcially during the war period, is probably a reason for less distress here during the re adjustment period than in those localities where values were put on' a higher basis. For instance, land is only . about 25 per cent higher here than prior -to 1914, when th European war broke out. . while i many places, jt is 100 or 200 per cent higher. I'' '" '' . v. . '".' Change of Attitud. The consensus of opinion here is that the remedy lies in a change in the mental attitude of the world, especially, in the United States. For months newspapers have purmed a system of propaganda calculated to to bring down prices; the officials at 'course; bankers have sided in and a general clamor has gone uo for price reductions. Now that the reductions ' have come, it is-a case of "jumping out of the frying fan into the fire." The farmers, bankers and business men here are willing and satisfied to have a reduction that comes gradually and covers all commodities sold, but cannot be otherwise than impatient with a condition that forces the primary producer - into bankruptcy because of the violence and distance of " the drop, while many things of fered, for sale stand at the old war-1 time prices or hesin their descent in: an orderly, manner. , : ' ' ' 1 ' ' Mourners Fill Cathedral at ; 1 Funeral of Colonel Heafey Mourners filled St. Cecilias ca-1 thedral yesterday at funeral services for Col.

The week be gan on Wall street today with re newed advance in European ex change, further recovery in Liberty bonds, a money market which show ed continued tendency toward easier rates notwithstanding Saturday's de ficit in bank reserves, but a stock market which, except for a flicker of speculative life in the street railway shares, relapsed into purposeless fluctuations! -The movement of for eign exchange was perhaps the most note worthy; for it occurred on the fcasis - of an unusually large and steady business, - which seemed to originate-on both sides of the ocean. The fact should again be emphas zed, in explaining this show of strength, that last autumn's decline, tif ster ling particularly, was much more a conscience of acute money strin rrcnev in America than of the ordir nary incidents of international finance and that, therefore the recovery, oil the d:sappearance of the American money 6train has been perfectly log ical. , Money Market Qnlet. In today's Wall Street money market, there was little or no change, time loana on Stock Exchange collateral wefe again mnde around 6 per cent, which' was frae-. tionally under the day's London ratn, al though that market talao was slightly easier. Csll money held on the Stock ex change all day at the uniform 6 per cent rata to which It was lowered last .Thurs day, but loans were occasionally reported as obtainable on the atreet at 6 per cent. Not much attention was paid to Saturday's deficit In reserves; partly, perhaps, be cause recent experience with the federal roserve machinery has shown that "a de ficit week" at the associated banks Is al most invariably followed by a substantial surplus, but more especially because it is now rocognlzed that maintenance of the high reserve bank -fate . may mean only that unnecessary Increase In private bank loans, on the basis of rediscounts, is atill being discouraged. After a day of generally meaningless fluctuations, the stock market ended with about as many net declines as net ad vances. Most of the changes were unim portant and the day's transactions in stocks were hardly ofte-half as large as on Monday of last weeks The one exciip-. tion was it) the street railway companies, whose stock and bonds rose several points on the movement to introduce In. the Albany legislature the bill for Increased tares. Eipect long Fight. It must be admitted that, although the statistical Justice and the economic neces sity for this change can be absolutely proved, the controversy is certain to be a long one. The plain facts of the mat ter are that the present scale of wages is such that, since the Increase of wages a year and a half ago, operating costs and interest on legitimately-incurred debt are greater than what the .companies can earn by carrying passengers for 5 cents each. Wages cannot e readjusted as is being done, more or less widely, by manufacturing concerns and the Inevitable result, quite apart from any loss to the investors, is the notorious' deterioration In facilities with which every New Yorker is familiar. But the controversy hss all along been confused through the extremely Ill-judged use by the Interborqugh management, oe fore -the 26. per . cent increase of wages in August of .1919 and at a time when the company was selling securities, of a, ' 3i- tive estimate Dy its engineering experts that a 6-cont fare was adequate. That- report does not apply to the situation as It was altered by the subsequent change In the company's labor schedules; but the general public bases conclusions -on it. Omaha Grain f , Omaha, Tan. 17. ' Receipts of grain today totaled 357 cars, of which 159 cars were wheat, 162 corn. 36 dats, 8 rye and 2 barley. Wheat in tne best grades was off about a cent, taken gener ally. Lower grades showed a great er decline. Corn was unchanged to 2 cents lower, generally about Vi to 1 cent off. Oats were $4 to li cents lower. Rye advanced 3 cents. Sales of 1,600,000 bushels of wheat for ex port were reported made Saturday. 'The U. S. visible supply of wheat decreased 3,029,000 bushels the past week; corn increased 1.260,000 bush el and oats' fell, off 77,000 bushels. Kansas has marketed 92,000.000 bushels of wheat since July, with a total-supply of 150,000,000, accord ing to the Farmers Grain associa tion of Kansas.

(Bushels) Today Week Ago By CHARLES D. MICHAELS. Chicago Trlbune-OmahaBo leased Wire. Chicago, Jan., 17.JContrary to trade expectations, the grain markets failed to hold their 'early break, al though the bulk of the news at (he start was favorable to the selling side. Lowest prices were made at the start and highest in the last hour with the close well toward the top with net gains of 2f4 to 3J4c for wheat, Yt to ?4c fdr corn, 1-8 to 3-8c for oats, J4 to(-7-8c for rye. Barley was off fie with light trading. Domestic 'shipping sales of cash train at Chicago Monday were 25,- 000 bushels wheat, 100,000 bushels corn and 200,000 bushels oats. Permluma on red winter wheat at Chi cago were quoted 406o and hard winter lo lower as compared with March. No. 1 red was 2O026o over -and No. 1 hard (O10o over. Receipts 67 cars. - , . Corn Receipts Larre. Corn wis sold early on receipts of . (95 cars, tha largest of the season. Traders became too bearish and oversold on the break of c from the close of Sat urady. Support developed on the decline from tha best interests and a ovrinS movement later carried prices up ..from the low point with the close it the top. Cash lots were carried by cash Interests with proces e to 2o lower. Export sales absorbed a good part of the ar rivals, being 766,000 bushels with domestic sales 100,000 bushels. Stocks Increased 660.000 bushels and are 3.316.000 bushels. Oats sold at a new low level and was supported on the break by the sellers of last week. Cash houses were the main sellers ot the day.' Shipping sales Increased to 200,000 hushls on the break of lc-to lc.f Arrivals were 154 cars. Stock Increased" 446,000 bushels and are more than on-thlrd of the visible supply. Chicago has only 18.000 bushels rye, a loss of 281,000 bushels last week. Shorts were the best buyers. v Tit Notes. As on many occasions of lnte, the for eigners took advantage of the break in w heat to relieve the market . of Its. sur rlus offerings. They bought all that tha trade would sell. Germany took 1,600.000 bushels on Saturday, only part of whlcn was re-ported that day, and was In the market again today. This, with the k,uy Iiik by others, including the 4rltiph com mission, wos the basis for buying by local traders end at the, last, export business was placed 1,040.000 bushels, while mill ers took 25,000 bushels here. Cash pre miums here- were lower. The significant feature of "the export trade was the purchase of 240,000 bUBheU nt the gulf for April shipment. Cash premiums here wee lc lower on ha'd wmtere and springs and 5c off on red winters, relatively to March. South western offerings were llshter. but the primary1 movem- f was 1,975,000 bushels, or nearly 800.000 bushels, more than a week ago and compared' with l,3jl,010 bushels last year. ' The 'Visible suoply decreased '3,029 00 Lushels, comnared with 4.872,000 bushels last year. Chicago has only 962,000 bush els, a loss of 2110,000 busbols for 'he week, leaving this market with a too limited supply for the size of the trade. On the bulge houses with Omnha con nections, as well as locals, were sdllng for profits. Prices at their best were up 3?itfMc from the low point of the morning. Australia reported the worst storm In 70 years, which Is liable to damage the crop. i The following quotations furnished by the Omaha Trust Company; ' PrlreneM' Amer. T. A T.

Reports of easier Rio exchange and lower mllreis quota tions led to further liquidation in the market for coffee futures here during today's early trading. First prices were 13 to 19 points lower, with Mach selling off to 6.24c and May to 6.67c, or back within a few points of the low records established toward the end of December. This break was sufflcent to attract co. ering by recent sellers, however, and the market was steadier later in the day, being influenced perhaps by the firmness of foreign exchange rates as reflecting Increased buvlng power abroad.
