Chicago Trlbune-Omoha lice leased Wtrv
New YorV, Feb. 17. For the sharp
downward reaction wliiclv, occurred
today in the stock markef and in
foreigu exchange, there were several
causes assigned; not, however, in all
respects convincing. This ' is the
time of year when industrial coi
panics publish their annual or semi
annual statements. Some of those
already given out, have been better
than Wall Street had expected, a
lew have been worse, but all insofar
as tnVv reflected the business of the
Second half of 1920 have been dis
tinctly unfavorable. This was a
foregone conclusion and nothing
else could have been anticipated
from the visible facts regarding
prices and trade activity after last
spring.
The unsettlement of today's stock
fmarket occurred as a result of heavy
speculative selling, based ostensibly
on prediction of very unfavorable
statements about to be published for
the 1920 results with other com
panies. A decline of 2U fo 3 -Points
in the Central Leather stocks was
the conspicuous movement of this
character.
Statement Eapecled.
But a vory unfavorable statement would
naturally be expected from a company
which In recent iiaar has been paying
7 to 8 per cent on its $40,000,000 common
stock, but which last fall'stoppcd divi
dends on that stock ntirely and a decline
In the atock froiiilti4 to 3iH even wltu
a nine point recovery In this year'a eas
ier money market, hatl pretty thoroughly
''discounted" the or.pected showing. Much
the same might be t-ald of other stocks,
tut Wall street's 'mood of today was
such that the atudy of some bad state-,
nieiitH and the expectationa of others car
md down prices In most of the indus
trials; the railways moving sympathetical
ly. . ,
For the 3 cent decline In (sterling, tho
r:use commonly as'fgited was the British
tlnBncelnlnlster's sorsewha't casuar remark
on his government's retention to prepare
for rerumption of Interest paymenta 01
Its debts to the United' States. Of this,
It uiuy be said that such action has all
along been a matter to be reckoned with
and that the loii.tcr the planning for It
was postponed the creater the dead weiiftit
on exchange market waa bound to bo. The
probability Is that the weakness In to
day'a exchange w:is a matter of realizing
sales by speculator who are well known
to have been act:ve In promoting the re
cent rise. In today's money markets the
New York exchange rats returned to 7 per
cent, while the .ilgiis of atrlngency at Lon
don were emphasized by a rise in day-today
money above 0 per cent.
Percentage Higher.
The interest of our own market in
the Kuropeau bafk statements depends,
as every one knows, on what they show
of the foreign money situation and on
what tendency they disclose toward con
traction or further Inflation of the Euro,
poan paper currencies. "Today's weekly
Lor.don and Paris statements threw some
light on tho trend of things, but not much
The Bank of England's reserve percent
age rose from 14 io 14: it is still nearly
3 per cent below that of a year ago
and in fact stands exactly at the figure
0." tho August war panic week in 1914
which was not touched again after that
date until 1919. On the other hand, the
bank's reserve ratio which Is rising now
was declining rapidly a year ago: It waa
174 a.t this date as against 22 the week
before.
. In the matter of paper circulation the
combined outstanding total of the Bank
of England notes and currencv notes Is
now 23.0Ofl.O0O pound less than at the
end of eDcember; but the reduction in
the same period of 1920 was 27,800,000
pounds. The French currency was re
duced 200,000.000 francs this last week
through calling in of the Bank of France
circulation. but it Is still ,171. 000,000
franca above the total Qf December 31.
Last year, however, it increased 298,
000.000 in the fame period. What is
perhaps more sicn if leant, the French
bank report Increase of 100.000.000
francs in its (advances to the government
this last -week. Apparently this marks
the end of the rrovernment's repayment
of its debt to the bank from the pro
ceeds of the last state loan.

Chicago Tribune-Omaha Be Leased Wire.
, Chicago, Feb. 17. Highest prices
for grains , were made at the start
today, being about the same to a
fair advance over the previous day's
close. There was nothing in the run
of buving orders to support values
and they declined, closing around
the inside, with wheat off 2 1-2
2 3-4c, 'corn off 13-8 l-2c.- oats
7-8 to lc, rye 31-8(31-2c, while
barley gained 1 l-2c. Receipts, 8
cars.. .. .
Green bugs and Hessian fly re
ports from the southwest, with re
ports of damage by high winds,
(ailed to stimulate buying here, as
they were not accompanied by
enough buying orders to f ffset the
effect of the pressure from all
classes 1 of: sellers, especially the
longs. Southwestern country, offer
ings were said to be fairly large, yet
interior millers iiv Kansas were re
ported as paying better premiums
thai Kansas City. Cash wheat
prices weakened in nearly all mar
kets and hard winters here lost 2
to 3 cents of their premium with a
slow demand, milling sales of all
kinds being 12,000 bushels. Export
business at the seaboard was ' flat
and Belgium tried to resell 1J2,
000 bushels at New York.
Chicago Men Active.
With foreigners buying wheat in Ar
gentina at SO to 25c under United States
and Canada wheat, it makes them a do
mestic problems for the time being.
What this means a to prices remains
to be seen.
Local operators wsre active on both aides
of the wheat market at times, with con
siderable selling early and covering at
the last with some reinstating of line on
the break.
Increased country offering of corn in,
Indiana and Illinois, accompanied by re
ports of bank failures in northwestern
Iowa, encouraged more general selling of
future and prlcea declined lic with the
close at the inside at 6949'4c for May.
Frlces dropped 1 cent at the Jaat, al
though arrivals were only 177 car here.
Export sales' of 80,000 bushels and do
mestic, 110,000 bushels were reported at
the last. Storage room Is getting scarce
and another bis ruu might not bo so
oaolly handled as the last. Cash discount.)
were narrowed He
Oats were sold by operators who were
th largest buyers' around the top prices
a few days ago. Support was limited, at
tho last by buying against bids. Cash
prlcea were c lower. Cash sale were
63,000 bushels and arrivals (8 cars.
Most of the rye Belling was by operators
who consider tha spread between Max. and
iuly too wide an I that there la Joo great
difference between July rye and Way
wheat. Export clearances were 202,000
Jjushcls.
- Pit Note.
George Le Counte wired from Sherman,
Tex., as follows:
"Much of the fall oats are ruined and
If the weather stays hot we expect a lot
of damage to tho wheat. There are lots
of bugs in the wheat, but I have noted very
little damage whero 1 have been. Jlucb
cooler today."
Receipt of what at Minneapolis were
228 cars, compared with 237 last wee.;
and 219 last year. Duluth received 108
cars, compared with 144 laat week and sev.
en cura last year.
Winnipeg receipt.-) were 200 car against
450 last week ani 153 a year ago.
John InglU wired Logan & Bryan: "Re
ceived wire from son, who examined wheat
in Oklahoma, say'nt: alarming reports o(
damage from sreen. bug In Texaa and
southern Oklahoma. In 1907 damage did
not manifest itself In northern Okla
homa until April. Local heavy 'ahowers
wll check them. They ar very destruc
tive to oats." '
North wester,l( 11 ler says: "One of the
most remarkable cases of salvage of flour
In the history of Canadian trade was that
of ,the steamship Recruit, which went
down laat year In the Gulf of St. Law
rence. After being under water for six
months, the vessel wa raised, and final
reports show that 75 per cent of the value
of her cargo of flour was recovered by
salvage treatment and subsequent sale of
the flour."
