Chicago Tribune-Omaha Bee Leased Wire.
New York, Feb. 18. Today's mar
kets again failed to produce evidence
of a definite general trend. Foreign
exchanee rates declined and silver
i bullion "fell to a new low figure for
I irhe after-war period, but call mOney
once more went at 6 per cent m the
official Stock exchange transactions
and the stock market itself, although
still under pressure from profession
al speculators, showed little except
confusion and irregularity of move
ment. There were both declines and ad
vances of 1 to 3 points off the Stock
Exchange, but in each they occurred
mainly in the more obscure industrial
shares and reflected juite transpar
ently the efforts of manipulators to
influence the general market through
converging sales or purchases on a
few rcauilv resoonsive stocks. In
the more important shares the day's
changes were slight. The bond mar
ket hardly moved: perhaps its most
interesting incident was the gradual
rise of United States Victory A
per cents above any price heretofore
touched in 1921.
Liberty Bonds Strong.
Today's highest figure was the best
since the beginning of last April. Other
Liberty bonds were strong but not up
to the present year's highest. With the
Victorv bonds, howciver, the mere lapse
of time brings them steadily nearer to
the date, now hardly two years off, when
they will necessarily command" par as
redemption yaluo. ,
The weakness in European exortatiK
whloh carried sterling down to 2'i cent
for the rtav, to a rate of 6 cents below
the year's high price of $3.92. touched
only twej days ago, whs again an im
mediate consequence of speculative realiz
ing, probably accompanied by the filling
of postponed requirements at London for
remittances to this country. A fall of
'i penny brought silver in London to 33 '4
pencaper ounce or below the previous
low level of the period.
"Tomorrow's reviews of the week by
the mercantile agencies fail to give evi
dence of definite or continuous trade
revival. Apparently the best that ran
be deduced from the reports of the field
agent is that "while trade is n trifle
less active than last week and noVas good
as a year ago, tt is much better than it
was two to four month ago."
No Sign of Reaction.
Thie is not altogether stimulating to
enthusiasm yet It is perhaps enough to
prove a;i that .judicious observers say.
which is that the positive movement of
reaction and contraction which was check
ed early In January has shown no sign
of renewal. People of experiece in Amer
ican trade know that the late weeks of
a winter season is not, the tim when real
possibilities of revlvas. ore tested.
" Much the same comment may he made
on the course of staple prices, in which
perhaps the most striking fact is the
sllghtness of their actual Variation as
compared with a week ago, notwithstand
ing the alternate aivan'-es and declines
In the speculative commodity markets dur
ing the Interval. Wheat prices, for in
stance, scarcely moved except to come
back to the level -from which the move
ment started.
It Is noteworthy, however, especially in
view f the forthcoming foreign trade re
port for January, that our weekly export
of wheat has been steadily running three
or four times as large as in the corre
sponding period last year. This has been
made possible only through the drastic
lowering of American grain prices during
the past few months.
New York Cotton.

cotton market opened at a decline jf

By CHARLES D. MICHAELS.
Chicago Tribune-Omaha Bee Leased Wire.
Chicago, Feb. 18. Wheat was the
leader iu grains and made a good
advance early today, on reports of a
good export business It carried
other grains up and resulted in a
covering movement of liberal pro
portions around t-Ue best prices 01
the day, showing gains of 34c on
wheat.'lJaC on'cora and lc on oats.
The gains were all lost hi the late
trading when the reselling by early
buyers became the leading factor. At
the close wheat showed net losses
of U'4C, corn gc. oats unchanged
and rye -4rc lower.
A cold wave with temperature the
lowest of the season for the coming
vtrek extending overthe east and as
far south as the gulf, is predicted by
the weather bureau in a special fore
cast. This, with reports of 500,000
bushels of wheat being sold for ex
port at the gulf with prices there
the lowest of the season, 15c over
March, brought buying orders.
Flour Sales Large.
Flour Miles her.- were 2.000 barrels by
miller for export i.nd bakers were said
to have bought '10.00O barrels. Unfavorable
crop reports from. IlMlol-s Indiana and
Ohio and Mlchtsnn were sent out by Crop
Expert P. S. Goodman. Reports of green
23 v bugs and Hessian fly were received and
.... thriuighout the morning a bullish feeling
354 dominated off and on. At the top, March

was $1.72 and Mav. $I.62'.
Reports of snows over Nebraska and
Oklahoma later ri.tiioed the fears of trad
ers for the wheat crop, as the cold weath
er, it was assuin'(J, would reduce bug
activity and possibly kill them.
Buying of com was based on the ad
vance in w heat an;l on reports of a good
export demand. hicli aggregated 650,
000 bur.hels in all positions. Local traders
were mostly short early and came in on
the bulge, only to soil out later on a
break to Cc, nfter May had touched
71 4c on tho bulge. Country offerings
were' liberal, but arrivals were only 153
cars and shipping rales) 17.000 bushels.
Cash prices were 1 c.'nt higher at their
best. Tho week's exports were 1, 606, 000
bushels, atfuinst 262. OOu last J ear.
Oats wr brouchc by local interests
and against bids. Thi; felling was by scat
tered interests, hut there was enough to
make u w.?ak finish at near the insido
figures. Arrival wero 42 cars and' ship
pint; saliSf 44.000 burliels. CaslV prices
were unchanged
Kye business was small and mainly in
changing tctwrer. wheat at rye it 33 4c
difference from Julv rye to May wheat.
Pit Notes.
Receipts of wheat at Minneapolis were
274 cars,, compared) with 203 last week
and 128 last year. Dulul h . received 95
cars, compared with 144 lsst week and
11 last year. Winnipeg receipts were 81
cars against 475 last week and 257 a
year ago.
George JI. Lo Counte wired from Leon
ard, Tex.: "Came today to investigate re
port of extensive bug damage and find
fail oals badly damaged. WhPat Is look
ing fine and I failed to see . any real
damage In the whe.it. hut fields are alive
with hugs and I expect permanent damage
to result in a short time, especially if
weather turns hot. Very heavy acreago
of spring soats, early sow n, js up and
looking fine."
Modern Miller says: "Present condition
of winter weat generally reported satis
factory. Green bugs plentiful in Texas
and Oklahoma but no confirmed damage.
Scattered reports of Hessian fly from
many winter weat stales. Soil conditions
generally favorable with good supply of
moisture, aid in resisting insects. Growth
unusually forward and weather conditions
In next fw weeks will have great bearing
on' outcome of crop. Reports indicate no
large supplies of wheat on fiirms in most
of belt. Stocks in Interior elevators mod
erate." E. Lowltz & Co.. had the following'.

Crop conditions poorest in past six years,
owing tod ry fall and winter.'
Clement, Curtis & Co., say: "Our re
ports from the southwest continue to show
a wide area of green bug infestation,
which, unless weather gets cold, will In
crease until the period of the appearance
of their natural enemies. Reports now
coming In from the main winter wheat
belt are unusually Informative, owing to
the open winter and dally opportunity to

Boston Wool.
Boston. Feb. H. The Commercial Bul

"Then; has baon a moderate demand
for wool this week and pri. es are firmly
maintained. The feature of the week's
news is the clan-up of about 1,200 bags
of noils by tho American Wool company
which are thought to be for overcoat
ing purposes. The passage of the emer
gency tariff by the senate has made the
market a little nervous, although the
concensus of opinion is that tho bill will
not becocme a law. Some orders sent
abroad have, however, been recalled t:l
consequence.

Brarlstreet's Trade Review.
New York, Feb. 18. Bradstrcet s to
morrow will say:
"Impatience at th"? slow, in some line
indoed, apparrfitly painful, progress being
made in general trade, and pessimistic
outgivings bred by further recessions In
the so-called bnronieter trades, Iron
stool, coal and coke, cannot disguise the
fact that while trade la a trifle less active
than last wk and not as good as a
year ago, it is much better lhan it was
two to four months ago. The irregularity,
previously noted in different lines . con
tinued. Activity is still largely coufined
io the apparel trades, unemployment !s
marked In many industrial centers, wage
reductions are numerous, the general price
movement indicates thut many lines still
seek stablfzation. ar.d the railways report
a lessened volume of business moving
as compared with previous weeks ancl
years."
