By ALEXANDER DANA NOYES,
Chicago Tribune -Omaha Be Leased Wire.
New York, Feb. 7. Business in
all financial markets lapsed today
into great inactivity. On the Stock
Exchange, where the 8 per cent call
money rate prevailed air day, the
total transactions of 354,000 shares
were the smallest of any full busi
ness day since bpetemper 13. It is
not without interest to recall that
the September date marked only
momentary suspension of active
business, being followed again be
fore many days by "million share
marks" in which, while - railway
stocks were being advanced, the
long decline in the industrials was
beginning. The comparison has no
significance except that a" period of
gseat dullness oh the Stock Ex
change is sometimes followed by
a vigorous movement .which deter
mines the actual - trend of prices,
whether to a lower or higher
level. This does not always happen
however, for -"dullnes" has been
known to" continue through a period
or successive weeks.
Such general trend In prices showed to
day was downward: but there were rather
numerous advances and the declines were
mostly fractional. Two or three Indus
trials, which, were sold rather heavily by
professional traders, lost between 1 and
8 points, but . the closing showed little
but the market's inertia.
Foreign Exchange Quiet.
There was as little activity in foreign
exchange as in the stock market, but
the tendency of rates was npward. Ster
ling at one tlma sold above Saturday
and it closed near the day's highest, as
did most other European exchange mar
kets after their more moderate advances.
Silver bullion went fractionally lower at
London. The Wall Street money market
did not move, but day-to-day loans at
London yielded another fraction, showing
at least that market's disposition. The
full weekly report of the federal reserve
showed the New Tork banks' borrowings
from other reserve districts on redlscount
ed acceptances to have risen from (2,343,
000 on Januarr 6. and 361.828.000 a week
ago to 569.938.000. The Cleveland Re
serve bank was tte lendor last week. ;
The flradst rest Index number of com
modity prices as of February 1, which Is
what statisticians call " a straight aver
age" of actual pric.es on that date, shows
decline of 3 1-3 per cent curing danvary.
But. as might have been supposed by any
one- who watched the January markets,
Um movement of average prices In ths
seDarate rroiros of commodities has been
exceedingly irregular. - Texines, ior in
stance, average higher than a month ago:
so do chemicals, the only really striking
decunes of the past montn being in
metals, breadstuffs. oro vis Ions and leather.
In both JJecemDer ana isoveraoer, practi
cally every group showed substantial ae
cllnes. so that we now have at least a
partial pause.
Bis? Declines In Prices.'
From the high average of the entire
war and post-war period, reached a year
ago this montn, todays Braastreers iig
ures show a decline of 404 per cect; it
is the lowest of any month since October,
1916. . So far as returns In other conn-
tries have been compiled, this is greater
than anv of them: It compares witn tne
decline of 32 H port cent in England's av
erage since . last April. Bnt such a com
imrlion elves no clear view of the gen
eral movement unless allowance Is made
for the faot that wntreas last year s nign
est American average. by the Bradstreet
compilations, embodied an Increase of not
aulte 112 per cent since the European
war began. .
The Economist's Enplish average showed
last Anrll a similar Increase of 225 per
cent. As compared with the average for
the full year, 1913, Frencn pncoa last
April, at the high mark of the period,
had risen 488 per cent, and Italian prices,
578 ner cent How far this vastly greater
ratio of price enhancement on the Euro
pean markets was due to their paper cur
rency depreciation and how far to the
operation of a heavily ; adverse balance
of foreign trade, no one can exactly de
termine. The striking fct, after all, is
that American trade, which rose In a much
smaller proportion than the others, have
now fallen In the largest percentage of
all. Chi the first nf the -present month,
American prices averaged only 40 per cent
above August, 1914: the English average
was still 113 per cent, nigner.

Omaha Grain
Omaha, Feb. 7.
Wheat and corn receipts were fair
today and xats light, with corn the
bulk of the arrivals. Practically all
cf the early trading was in corn,
which ranged unchanged to lc
lower, generally Vic to 156c oS,
Wheat was up. lc to 2c for early
sales. Oats ranged c up to JAc
off. the bulk of Iso. 3 white , un
changed. Rye declined' 2c, while
barley was strong. Cash wheat was
drasrgy at the close.
The United States visible supply
of wheat decreased 1,603,000 bushels
he past week; corn increased 3,552,
000 bushels. New York wire said
that ,the wheat market eased off to
day. supposedly on a report that
India had sold Italy 30.000 tons of
wheat as low as 70 shillings. St.
Louis message stated that a leading
cash wheat salesman there reported
millers very reluctant buyers of
wheat and flour demand not good.
H. I. Baldwin, grain dealer, De
catur, 111.,' says that stocks of corn
in western terminals are heavy, but
country elevators are mostly empty
and not enough corn or oats to put
on the cars these days to supply the
demand, which seemed to be slowly
but surely increasing. Many, he
says, look for a higher price after
spring opens up, particularly if the
season is late and unpromising
from a crop standpoint.

Chtoam Tribune-Omaha Bee Leased Wire,
Chicago,, Feb. 7. Grain traders
displayed confidence early today and
advanced prices but received no help
from the outside and after the cov
ering movement had finished there
was a wave ot selling with poor
buying support and a break. At the
last an easy feeling prevailed with
wheat at the last showing losses of
2 3-8, to 2Yi, corn 7-8c to lc, oats
Vi to c, rye to 1J4 and barley
lc lower for the day.
Wheat at' its highest today was
up over lc above Saturday's close
with many local operators buying
and believed that the market wa9
to do better. Domestic statistics
were bullish and local stocks de
creased 55,000 bushels to 750,000
bushels.- The main stimulating in
fluences were against a continued ad
vancing tendency, there being an ab
sence of export buying and light
speculative buying to carry prices
upward after the covering movement
had been satisfied.
Wheat Declines late.
March wheat was up to (1.48 and May
to (1.48 early with a 4a break later.
The late weakness in corn caused a selling
movement in wheat, in the last hour end
discouraged buying. At the close, sales
were at 0 c over tho Inside of the
dny. The decrease in. the viaiblo of 1,657,
000 bushels, compared with 2,125,000 bush
els last year, and the total of 32.555,000
bushels, was nearly 36,000,000 bushels
Under last year's. Receipts were 23 cars.
The factors that stood out strongly
against the wheat markot was the buy
ing of over 1,000,000 bushels of wheat
In India by Italy at (1.67 c. 1. f. and
that Argentina wheat was offered,, in
New Tork c. i. f. Nit (1.85. Foreign com
petition is a factor that all are watchimr
and creates uneasiness so long as good
foreign buying orders do not ednio to
American markets. Green bugs wera
again reported in Texas and created a
little strength for a time, but the buyin?
on them; died out at the last
Com Supply Large.
To have an increase of 669.000 LUKheht
in the visible supply of corn In one week,
making over 10.000.0 0 0. bushels in two
weeks, is a load for tha trade to carry.
It is most unusual and swelled the visie
ble to to. 8 66. 000 bushels, .compared .with
only C,64,000 bushels last year. Chicago
has 9,146,000-. bushels, an Increap of 2,
714,000 bushels for the week. Prices t-.d-vanced
early, with wheat showing c
over Saturday's close, to 66c for May,
When the visible figures were announced,
the price was 66 c. Selling started front
there, making a break of lc with' a small
recovery. No. 4 grades sold at 9010c, and
No. 6 at 11 012c, under Hay, with !-.
vators' interests and buyers selling May
against it. Arrivals were (87 cars, cash
sales, 28,000 bushels, and 150,000 bushels
wio taken for exports.
Oats made a fair showing of strength
but lost It at the last and finished tame.
Stock continue to increase and cash de
mand is slow. Shipping sales, 44,000 bush
els. Cash prices advanced lo early and
reacted.
Rye was bid up early with other grains
and reacted. Stocks are decreasing and
the week's exports wern over 2.400,000.
Pit Notes.
Receipts of wheat at Minneapolis were
285 cars, compared with 451 cars last
week and 404 cars last year. Duluth re
ceived 127 cars, compared with 27 cars
last week and 6 cars last year. Winnipeg
received 343 cars, against 464 cars last
week and 266 cars a year ago.
Advices to R. I. Mansfield of Bartlett,
Frailer A Co.. from Central Illinois say:
"Amount of wheat back in farmers' hands)
is enormous and they are now selling
freely. Farmers are ready to liquidate
in their grain just as they are doing with
their hogs. Just when the country freezes
up there will be a big movement of corn,
regardless of the price."
An interesting feature In the visible
supply statement on corn was the fact
that not one of- the reporting points
showed decreases; they all increased;
this would only tend to emphasize the
slowness of demand for corn.
Seaboard clearances were: Wheat S,
029.000 bushels: flour, 37.000 barrels,'
wheat and - flour combined 2,196,000
bushels; corn 202,000 bushels; oats none.
Buy Wheat in Northwest.
The buying of wheat today by north
west houses was against -sales In their
own market. .
P. 8. Goodman ot Clement, Curtis &
Co., says: "The destructive appearance
ot tns green bug is always present on
the southern border cf the winter wheat
region. During mild winter it develops
rapidly. Its multiplication Is checked by
a minute wasp-like fly, the larvae of the
lace wing fly, ths larvae and adult Indy
bugs. These natural enemies do not
propagate when the temperature Is under
55. The destructive stage Is reached in
Texss in March. Winds carry the bugs
northward. If March is cold and wet
and its natural enemies checked, damage
may bo expected, as the bugs are now
noticeable in the fields."
St Louis wired Bartlett, Frasler: "A
leading miller tells me heeold 6,000 bar
rels of flour to a New Tork exporter late
Saturday and that this was in turn sold
to Germany. Tet my friend is not bull
ish, as he says he ties 10,000 barrels more !
he would like to find a buyer for,"

An elderly man of my ac
quaintance nas been fussing
around with his money for a
number of years. Sometimes
he made a good profit on a
deal. At other times he lost.
He recently told me that
he intends to convert all. his
investments into first mort
gage securities. He says that
he would be just as well off
now, perhaps better off, if he
had adopted this policy years
agoand a great deal of
worry would have , been
