Market, Financial and Industrial News of the Day
Chicago Grain
By CHARLES D. MICHAELS.
Chicago IKbune-Omaha Bee Leased Wire.
Chicago, May 18. Between the
unsettliti)? effect of the news from
Springfield, 111., regarding the prob
able passage ot the Lantz bill to
place the grain trade under the su
pervision of the secretary of agri
culture of Illinois and the conflict
ing crop reports, grain traders had
a lively day. Prices declined early,
only to advance on export buying
of wheat and closed around the top
with net gains of 2;43c on wheat,
Hc on corn, 4c on oats and
22yic on rye. Provisions ad
vanced and closed 2it higher on
lard, 7S12j4c higher on ribs and
10c up on pork.
Bad reports on the winter wheat
crop continue to come from Kansas,
Oklahoma and Nebraska, more com
ing: fro rnthe latter state than here
tofore. Rains are needed in parts
of Kansas. There were good rains
in the northwest, which induced sell
ing and the early decline. -The gov
ernment weekly weather and crop
report was generally favorable - so
that the conflicting statements
puzzled traders.
Strong Bullish Sentiment.
Buying of 1,260,000 bushels wheat for
export, largely at the gulf, was to cover
old sales. Italy, France and Germany
were in the market and Greece was ex
pected to buy another 1,300.000 bushels,
although it wants Manitobas this time.
A half dozen of the big commission
houses and the professionals were bullish
and picked up the May, while the selling
was by the northwest and southwest
housese at 30Vi3lo over the July. Buy
ing ot May and selling of July was a
big factor in the trade, while in the July
local professionals who have been active
sellers for Borne days wore mostly on the
buying side and some houses had orders
to sell on every half cent advance.
Corn traders who have been active on
the selling side were among the be3t
buyers today. The country offered corn
fairly at slightly above market, but it
was estimated that 200,000 to 300,00ft
bushels were sold, which were hedged in
the pit by sales of July.
There are Indications of increased re
ceipts, corn having been sold last week.
Shipping sales were 327,000 pusneis. in
cluding 100,000 bushels to the seaboard
for export, with charters for 170,000
bushels to Buffalo.
September Oata Advance.
Corn reports on oats indicated spotted
conditions and there were enough un
favorableness in them to Induce moderate
buying of them in the September, which
advanced from 3940V4c where It closed.
Supplies In all positions are large, and
exceed last year's. Cash prlcea were off
Ho with shipping sales of 90,000 bushels
and charters for 80,000 bushels. Receipts,
69 cars.
Export sales of 100,000 bushels rye
were made for shipment from Chicago
and Duluth, mostly the latter at 31c over
July, c. 1. f. Buffalo. Exporters were
In the market for July and there were
commission houses' orders for September
The latter finished at 99Hc and July
11.13. while May lagged, although finish
ing at 11.40, a gain of 2c.
Commission houses bought lard and
ribs while the selling was by local trad
ers. There was selling of ribs and buy
ing of lard as the --ribs are relatively
11.50 per 100 pounds above lard.
Pit Notes.
Grain traders are greatly disturbed to
night because of the passage of the Lants
bill at Springfield by a t-ote of 26 to 22.
The bill has still to pass the house and,
be signed by the governor of Illinois, with
Indications that favorable action will re
sult. The bill passed is No. 283 With no
definite time set for It going Into effect.
President Griffin of the board of trade la
at Springfield and no statement was
given out by the board of trade officials.
The bill places the regulation ot the grain
exchanges under the secretary of agricul
ture ot Illinois. .
Bill No. 284, which is expected to come
up Thursday, seeks to check abort sell
ing after July 1, 1922. As the trade was
mostly short ths effect of a mmor that
the bill had been killed which came short
ly .before the close, led to buying and the
last advance which forced In a number
ot the largest sellers early In ths day.
Under existing conditlona nervous mar
kets are to be expected until the legis
lative Dills in Illinois ana congress are
out ot the way. t Trade sentiment is di
vided. There ara a number of operators
and commission houses who favor the
constructive side of wheat, based on the
statisical and crop situation. Those who
favor the buying side of corn say liquida
tion has been complete. At the same
time longs are steadily losing the car
rying charges.
jonn t: .Barrett naa a message irom
St. Louis saying that reports covering
the whole state of Oklahoma' showed im
provement since the recent rains.
mere were a numner or uniavoraote re
ports from some of the best wheat coun
ties in eastern Nebraska. Clay county,
ona of the best wheat counties in the
state, was said to show damage to wheat
of 10 per, cent.
Wheat oh ocean passage increased from
74,634.000 bushels to 83,440,000 bushels the
last week.
A somewhat better export Inquiry for
wheat was reported and some business
was worked. The domestic corn demand
Is good, but export bids were generally out
at Una.
At some points In Illinois farmers are
said to be ' offering new wheat on. basla
of 1 and aome dealers here were of the
opinion that the producers would be free
sellers on that basis.
Country offerings of corn were fair, but
generally above the market.
Corn planting is as much as 10 per
cent oompleted In some of the north cen
tral and northwestern counties of Iowa
and as little as 15 per rent In some pf
the oouth central counties, the weekly
crop report Issued at Dee Moines said.
For the state aa. a whole. 61 per cent of
the planting is done.
According to local cash wheat men, the
amount of wheat sold ahead for Julr ship
ment for export is extremely small com
pared to the last few years at this time.
Seaboard exporters have booked a, fair
quantity of new wheat for export for both
July and August shipment, but . have
bought the July against these sales and
so tar have bought little wheat from in
terior dealers. The latter are not dis
posed to make contracts until they buy
the actual wheat from the country. The
result la that the quantity booked so tar
la light.,

Financial
iSbt NtiP Uxrrk Siwtjs.
By ALEXANDER DANA NOYES
Chicago Tribune-Omaha Bee Leased Hire.
New York, May 18. The an
nouncement by the ' railway labor
board late Tuesday night, that it had
decided to allow a cut in railway
wages was naturally the governing
influence on today's stock exchange,
That, the effect of the decision was
limited to a comparatively slight ad'
vance in railway shares was readily
explainable by the board's announce
ment that the exact scope ot wage
revision would not be made known
until Tune 1.
Since this postponement made it
impossible to measure the adequacy
of the relief from a purely financial
view point, much of the lately pre
valent uncertainty remains, rail
way stocks-advanced ll!2 points
with inrrpased business, closing
slightly below the best. The rest of
the market moved with its usual ir
regularity and on the whole changed
very little for the day.
Foreign Exchange Advances.
Foreign exchange continued to advance,
Ihough slowly. Sterling crossed the 14
mark again In the late trading while the
day's fractional rise in French and Italian
rates left each of those markets barely
c under the highest rate reached after
the German acceptance. German marks,
on the other hand, declined to the lowest
rate Jn a week. The bond market showed
some signs of returning strength.
Midweek reviews of the steel trade
throw an interesting slde'.ight on the rail
way position, In mentioning that five large
railways have laid no rails at all this
year, although a good part of their or
dera for 1921 have been delivered, and that
one company to which 60,000 tons were
delivered has put It all in storage. i nis
measures the exigencies created by the
wage cost problem. For the steel Indus
trv itself the reviews have little to say.
Some significance attaches to the state
ment that since its cut In prices the Steel
Corporation's new orders have been run
ning nearly 30 per cent above the average
of March and April when the reductions
were impending. .
Exports Decrease
The government's separate report of ex
ports of agricultural products In April
gives a chance to figure out the month's
decrease in shipments of other goods, in
cluding manufacturers.
What it shows is that non-agricultural
exports are now decreasing at a much
more rapid rate than exports from the
farms. Compared with March, our ex
port of farm, products decreased only 112,
00,000, whereas export of other products
decreased 134,000,000.
Compared with April, 1920, the decrease
was 11 18.500.000 in agricultural, but $226,
100,000 tn non-agricultural. As recently
as January the figures reported actual In
creases ot 111,300,000 in value of non-agricultural
shipments, while that ot farm
products declined 179,000,000.
