(blrage THbune-Omaha Bee Leased Wire. New York, Feb. 8. An abrupt and emphatic change occurred to day, both in financial markets and hi markets for commodities. On the Stock 'Exchange, trading s small er than the day before iintil after noon when a sadden buying move ment began which affected practi cally the whole market and carried .up prices of railway and. industrial snares as mucn, m a numDcr ot in stances, as 2 and o points. This hap pened when the call money rate, which had opened at 8 per cent, de clined to 7 for the first time in a week. There were, in fact, reports of loans made on the street as low as 6. This sign of an easier money sit uation after last week's 'tension had its effect elsewhere than on the stock market. Grain and cotton prices re covered, wheat rising 7 cents a bush el to the highest price since Monday of last week. But an even more striking response was made in the foreign exchange 'market. All Eu ropean rates recovered sharply and an advance of 5 1-8 cents carried sterling to a level, $3,883-4, which was ' ouly l-4c below the highest figure of the year to date, reached nearly two weeks ago o January 27. Surprise to Speculator. Thla series of movements took specula tive Wall Street by surprise. They were commonly ascribed to the relaxation in money rate, to which importance was at tached because of the very prevalent be lief that the recent stringency at New York resulted from more or less tempor ary cause and that last week's visible strengthening of the bank position in nearly all interior districts would present ly allow the natural tendency of the sea son to operate on money rates. One day's relaxation does not prove that a definite turn has come, but U is evident at least, that the particular difficulties which governed Isat week's market have been largely adjusted. What today's in cidents alao proved was that tfye recent tightening of money had encouraged pro fessions! speculators for the decline to resume their activities in every market. Most of today's urgent buying appeared to be fcr that account. The British Board of Trade gave out returns of England's foreign trade for January, and they are highly lntereatlng. Exports of British products were In value, the smallest of an" month since February of last year being in fact reduced 48 per cent from July, the maximum monthly export total of 1920. Thla comparison however loses moat of Its significance when It la pointed out that English com modity prices, by the monthly London compilation, showed 'or February, an average of 40 per cent lower than at the end of July. The effect of prices is equal ly shown In the January -Imports, whose value was the smallest since March, 191 and the upshot la that the January surplus of Imports over exports was less than In any month lnce the war began, excepting only last November and last July. Obligations Main Question. When the main question la on of Eng land's foreign obligations, the money value of the Import surplus Is the matter of Importance and. the January surplus of 14,360,000 is no larger than tha excess of Imports In several months of the year before the war. English statisticians have gone, further, some of them contend ing, with the offleisl Board of Trado Journal, that the country's monthly sur plus of merchandise Imports Is offset on exchange, by such Items as payment of Interest on England's foreign Investments and payment of ocean freight and similar services to the extent ot ut least 50,000, 000 monthly. If correct, this computation would give England a credit balance with the outside commercial world on the present monthly trade. That waa admittedly the rasa be fore the war, when London's position as the creditor market was not In the least loapaired 'by the yearly "Import exceas" of more than il2u,000,000. But the ealcu altlon Is far moro complicated nowadays, after Great Britain's prodigiously largo sale of foreign aecurities on our market and when her government's 1,800,000,000 outstanding war lfans to allied powers nro offset by il, 000,000,000 loaned by our gov ernment to her's.

Mexican DoUar-rl$. Chicago Grain By CHARLES D. MICHAELS. Chicago Tribune-Omaha Bee Leased Wire), Chicago; Feb. 8. A stronger cash wheat situation with a better milling demand and light offerings develop ed an oversold condition today which started a covering movement and an excited-market. Wheat took the lead and other other grains being in the same position as wheat led to a gen eral scramble for all grains. Open ing prices were the lowest, with an advance and close at nearly the best prices with an improved feel ing all aroundfi There were a few operators who believed at the close mat prices nave seen incir lowest for some time. .... , t Xet gains for the day were: 7H to 8;4c on wheat. 2c on corn, 1 7-8 to 2c ou oats. 6 to 64z on rye,vand 1jC on barley. Receipts were nine cars. Sonthweat Rig Factor. The wheat si tun t Ion In the southwest was a big factor in turning the market. It la beat described bv a Kansas City rh handler, who said:' "In the past, light receinta was riot always an argu ment to advance prices, as it meant In creased premiums which resulted In sell ing by elevators who had accumulated stocks In months of plenty snd favorable discounts. This r,-enr elevators have noth ing that Is not sold. Mills have the light est storks ever known. In fact elevators are lone on March wheat against export sales. Where are the shorts going to get off, as the country Is not selling any thing on account of elevators paying only 31.25 snd roads are Impassable. Bids of 4c over the highest were sent out Monday nlaht In Lincoln, Atchison, Salina and Wichita territory and did not buy a car. Only 76 cars here. Exporter and .nWllers sre both very anions for wheat. Dodge City says they sold hard wheat to go to Hutchison st $1.73, as against a pries of $1.64 in Ksnsas City." With exporters short cash wheat and long March, and the trade In general short March and May, with a strong holding of March, It was not easy to buy wheat. Seaboard exporters who are short cash wheat were unable to buy and secured It in New York from exporters who wrt Jong. New export business was light with lo.oon bushels sold hero ana lo.eoo ousneis to mills. - Report Castes Selling. Selling ot wheat early was on a report that England would give Russia a -credit and take it pay 'n -wheat and rye.
