Omaha Grain
Feb. 23. 1921.
Accumulation of grain over the
holiday was niodtrate to light, with
corn the bulk. . Wheat ranged un
changed to 1 or 2 cents lower, gen
erally1 about a cent off.' Corn was
unchanged to Yi, cent off, generally
unchanged. Oats declined Vi to -,i
cent. Rye was off a cent and bar
ley unchanged.
iieece was reported as having
taken 1,250,000 bushels of wheat
over the holiday. P. S. Goodman,
crop expert for Chicago firm, says
that advanced reports on farm re
serves of grain are showing larger
than anticipated and that returns
from leading winter wheat states re
flect a holding disposition in many
places aud domestic consumption
comparatively light. Corn reserves,
he says, will be the- largest on rec
ord and oats also large. Change in
weather conditions has been of great
value in destroying green bugs in
the southwest, says the Price Cur
rent Grain Reporter, Chicago. There
are many complaints of Hessian fly
from all parts pi the wheat belt.

Chicago Grain
By CHARLES D. MICHAELS.
Chicago Tribune-Omaha Bee Leaded Wire.
hicago. Fb. 23. All grains
were offered liberally on the strong
spots today, while on the dips com
mission house buying appeared in
fair volume. Prices, were highest
t-arly and lowest at the close, with
the finish at net losses of y'zC on
wheat, ,4'3c on corn, Yc on oats
and unchanged to lAc lower for rye
and llic higher, for barley. Re
ceipts were 52 cars.
The markets were full of, cross
current influences which made it
uncomfortable for the traders on
both sides. Top prices of $1734
for March and $1.634 for May
were made on buying of wheat, in
duced by the purchase of 1,300,000
bushels by Greece, also that Mexico
was in the market for 10,000 barrels
of flour. After this buying was sat
isfied, prices declined 22j4c with
March leading. The finish was.l
2c above the inside, with commis
sion houses buying for a time
while others were free sellers. Con
siderable selling was induced TaTe
in the day by the break of 34c.
Wheat Carried Over.
There was also some selling due to
reports that Kansas City, which had 404
cars; of wheat, carried over 175 cars and
cash prices were off 2c. Increased country
offerings were reported and the Clement,
Curtis report showed lamer Interior "re
serves than expected.
Domestic sales were 25,000 bushels.
Country offerings and deliveries were said
to he liberal in Illinois and Indiana the
past two days at 60 53c.
Commission houses had fair buying
orders on the breaks and the selling was
by local traders, most of whom were
bearish, Farm reserves are the largest on
record.
Oats had a range of 1 cent, with the
close around the inside. Cash prices were
lc lower at the last. Arrivals were 125
cars. Few outside orders were received
and local operators furnished most of the
selling.
New- Yorkers had small orders to buy
rye here and a limited quantity of trades
were given on orders from the seaboard.
A llttlo spreading between May wheat and
July rye was also on. Barley advanced
on light offerings.
fc ( Pit Notes.
Receipts of wheat at Minneapolis were
359 cars, compared, with 258 last week ami
203 cars last year. Duluth received 69
cars, compared with 257 last week ana
seven last year.
Clements, Curtis & Co., ssys: "Our. ad--vance
reports on farm reserves of grain
aro showing larger than expected. The
returns from the leading winter wheat
states reflect a holding disposition in many
places and the extent of reserve suggests
that the domestic consumption is likely
to verify the Howard estimate of less
than 600.000,000 bushels. Corn reserves
will work out the largest on record, due
to the heavy crop, while the oats reserves
are showing around the high, points q
previous crops. .
Ooorge.M. Le Counte wired from Enid,
Okl. : "Snow is disappearing. Soil. -is
thoroughly soaked. Wheat prospects are
very promising and crop will show up
fine with growing weather."
Mr. Le Counte wired from Anthony,
Kan.: "Wheat In fine condition in this
territory. Oood standing and deeply
rooted. Growth is small but all is .In
good condition,"!.
New York wired: "It is rumored In re
liable circles that the Argentine govern
ment intends to decrease -a minimum
wheat export price jot $1.63 a bushel, but
nothing official has been made known so
far.
St. TJSuis houses are estimated to have
b6ught 250,000 bushels of corn on Mon
day night's bids to the country. Re
ports indicate fairly liberal offerings of
wneac in me soumwesi at ioo over marcn
track gulf.

By ALEXANDER DANA NOYES.
Chicago Tribni e-Omnha Bee .Leased Wire.
New York, Feb. 23. The confu
sion of movement which prevailed
on the Stock Exchange today was
a natural result of the sort of specu
lative activity, which has made up the
market since the middle of last
week. On the whole, the incidents
of the period have displayed Wall
Street at its worst, not because
speculators were selling stocks on
the basis of unfavorable company
reports, but because of the atmos
phere of something disreputable in
the methods employed.
The "Atlantic Gull & West Indies"
affair has been in the front of inter
est only because more doubt exists
in this company's case than in that
of others as to who is really respon
sible for what has happened to its
stock. After last week's 8 point de
cline, followed by Monday's 8 point
break and 3 point recovery, that stock
stock recovered 4 1-2 points topay,
almost at the start broke 3 points
again and then nearly regained its
early price.
Peeling of Infalrness.
But for the tactics employed In this
performance and the numerous other
cases of mtajudgment of trade conditions
by trading companies last year, no great
attention would bo devoted to an enter
prise whose status deoends on the but
come of "oil propositions" and of ship
ping Investments undertaken In the re
cent high price period. But the feeling
tlint the action- or the stock nas maraem
an Instance of gross unfairness to the In
vesting public has certainly not been re
moved by I he very recent occurrences
and probably will not disappear until It
is learned more clearly what forces and
agencies were at v.-ork causing it.
Some other stocks were influenced by
the struggle of speculators and manipula
tors in this Eo-cullc-d "specialty," but In
these the tendoncv was towards recovery
from the unsettlement of the past 'week.
It was again noteworthy, as on numerous
recent ric.ys. that stocks of companies
with a fairly teste, 1 standing, were not
affected. With such stocks the day's
course of prices showed underlying firm
ness. A'h passag" in the senate of the
Wlnslow bill to expedite the settlement
of the government's $370.01)0,000 obliga
tions to the railways was little discussed.
That entirely prorer leglslstive action
had been foreshadowed ever since the
senate commltteo acted.
Sterling Exchange Txwer.
The natural question In that market is.
how far such pressure can continue with
out reacting on tho hank. Sterling ex
change closed IHc lower and most other
continental exchanges weakened slightly.
This reflected quite possibly the market's
cautious attitude In view of the fact that
barring postponement the Paris repara
tions plan will b opened to formal dis
cussion with the German delegates at
London next Monday.
Silver bullion f l! to another new level
for the period since the United States
went to war.
This action of the market must have at
least academic interest Tor the school of
eccnomieta who hold thBt the course of
silver prices up or down is the surest
evidence of the depreciation or apprecia
tion of gold. r
The mid-week revlows of the steel
trp.-ie reflect nothing hut progressive
slackening in demind and production.

Youth Did Not Enter Home
Of Woman, Evidence Shows
Evidence at the police court
hearing of Roy Stern, Forty-eighth
and Y streets, yesterday showed that
the young man made no effort to
enter the home of Mrs. Gertrude
Jesse, 4602 R street.
Stern was fined $10 for Carrying
concealed weapons, but vindicated
of charges brought by Mrs. Jesse
that he attempted to force his way
into the bedroom of her daughter,
Mabel.
Stern told the judge he merely was
passing by the window on a ruiblic
path and that he didn't even look
at the window. '
Witnesses for the defense testi
fied to the youth's sterling character,
to life fact that he had never been
in trouble and that, he carried the
revolver merely because he was afraid
of threats which had been Nmadc
against him for identifying a robber
for police several weeks ago. His
war record was pointed to with
pridfe by his father.
