the market quotations for these

by the Perioral Reserv bank at Jloaton,

'' 1 answer came speedily. It 1a diacovered In the
- ' utrparalleled purchases' of tonds, ll.a&O.T

'' Funds which were, in . plenty explain
the rapid Increase in. the market quota

Ifor investors seeking good i Investments
. turned, iu many eases, to these govern.
inent securities. They were assured that
' i "In the course of time, and a, abort tme,
)ha quotationg for these securities would
touch par, and in the case of one or two
.Jof these government txaues, might pass
-par. So also tha plentifulness of funds
.explains the Instant absorption of tae
iy lines of 'securities, as for lnatance soma
of the Industrial or public utility Issues,
, vnuch. ss the recent instant absorption of
ad over-subscription for the bond issue

t '' . New De-relepment Foreeaen.
Although buainesa and industry have
not as yet taken much advantage of the
,-,-C plentifulness of funds, yet it seems to be
the impression that after January 1 In
duatry and business will find It expedient
i- 't seoure funds, because the business out
leok will .tustify action of that kind,
Furtheromre, it la known that seme
time In the winter or early aprlng. should

impression that the enormeus surplus of

' was a' few months ago not far from

peace is established between the railroads

Thla is referred to by men of finance

Chicago Grain
By CHARLES D. MICHAELS.
Chicago Trlbune-Omtth pee leased Wire.
Chicago, . Dec. .4. With the
(Jrouth conditions in the southwest
relieved by rain and snow, there is a
disposition on tha part of the -wheat
trade to pay more attention to the
cash situation ; in the United States
and abroad.- and while the foreign
demand in North America has been
light of late, there are many who
are looking for a large business in
the immediate future.
Bullish statistics - have cost the
grain trade a great deal of njoney
the' last few years and at present
haye only a moderate effect on the
markets on this i account. The main
drawback to a' material advance is
the light speculative trade, and as
long as this condition continues the
belief is that prices will be irregular.
Sentiment is- outspokenly bullish in
many quarters, but there is a no
ticeable lack of confidence at times
when the market declines.
. '' Much Depends on trope.
" "Much depends on the outcome of the
crops in the southern hemisphere. If they

Trade Review
By R, O, UMf t?0.
A year which Iirb been marked by slow
and uneven economic recovery nears an
ending with seasonal abatement of de
mand in different quarters, but with
basic conditions strengthened. At thla pe
riod, when taking of inventories requires
Mtentlon In primary channels, activity
in other than retail circles Is not ordi
narily witnessed, and was net te be
looked for in the present Instance. That
largo operations have been recorded in
certain branches, as in the hide trade,
merely Illustrates the enisling Irregular
ities, and the conservative dealings in
piOst directions . are more representative
of the general Statqa ot business. Fre
quent reiteration of the Statement that
many buyers are deferring important ac
tion has been necessary thlg year, but
disappointment ever resulta in various
linos has partly arisen ' because of the
expectation of more rapid revival than
the facta of the situation justified. A
fall of aboit 40 per cent In wholesale
prices from the high level ef 0 JO, na.
turally had an unsettling influence every,
where, and the readjustment to a new
basis of consumption, production and
prices could not be quickly effected. The
transition, however, has been proceeding
gradually, and the point has been reached
where a more confident view of the fu
ture seems to he warranted. While dif
ficulties continue to be experienced, In
International finance and elswhere, yet
many of the after-war problems have
been surmounted, and the outlook Is dis
tinctly brighter.
Further Increase In Failures.
An Increase of about 18 per cent in
numtwr ef commercial failures last
month followed a rise similar propor
tions in Octoper.. Such a trend at ' this
period ts not unususl, five of tha pre
oeding 10 years having disclosed mere
defeults in November than October,
and the Increaae last year approximated
14 per cent. A feature e the present re
turns is the fart that the 153,469,839 of
indebtedness, although much above the
monthly average. Is little in excess of
the total for October, when 975 fewer
insolvencies were reported. While failures
for 1100,000 or more in each instance oo
curred more frequently last month than
October, yet the average of liabilities of
all defaults was lower, being about 84.000
less. When current insolvency statistics
are compared with thoae of earlier years.
It is important to remember that the pos
sibilities of financial embarrassment have
been enhanced by the larger - number of
firms In business.
Hide Active and Stronger.
The activitly which has recently fea
tured the hide trade- oonttnueB unabated,
with further price . advances - establtehed.
Business of noteworthy propositions has
been ertected in botn domestio packer and
River Plata frlgprlfico stock, and fully 80,
000 hldea were withdrawn from the mar
ket here In single day this week. With
the present eager demend. packers ap
pear ta ba able to keep cloeely sold up.
and somewhat ahead of kill. Two large
shoe manufacturing and leather concerns
have taken the bulk of the offerings,
and It ta evident that the changed trend
of foot wear and leather buying, with the
call centering on the more moderate
priced goods, la having a decided influ
ence In hide circlea. As heretofore, calf
skins provide arr exception to ths activity
prevailing elsewhere, and lower prices in
franca were recorded at the monthly Paris
auctions.
. rrodrtction of Steel Maintained
7hila current demand for steel product
is -not evenly efstribated, yet general aut
put t we'l sustained at tha recent ia
crease. - With new business irregular, un
filled orders- for Novemb-r may dieclnse
a further decrease: but ml company buy
ing and placing of additional railroad con
tracts are encouraging features. For all
eteel plants, the average of operations Is
eetimated at 4J to 46 per cent egatnat 89
per cent or lea at one time last summer,

By ALEXANDER DAJM NOYES
Chicago Tribune-Omaha Bae leased W lr
New York, Pec. 4, The rapidity
with which the scene has shifted in
this season's markets, with the whole
attention of financial observers'
turning suddenly from the halt in
trade- reaction to the rise on the
stock exchange, from 'that to the
sweeping reduction "of money rates,
from that ta the upwjrd rush , of
prices for investment bonds and
from that agkin to the violent re
covery in foreign exchange, is pretty
positive indication that a great
change in underlying econQmie coil"
ditions is under way. ' That such' a
change would follow completion of
the prolonged readjustment -from jn.
flated credit and extravagant specu
latioir; sueh1 as obscured in 1919 and
1920, the real economic position of
the world, might have been assumed
beforehand. But the most-" skillful
prophet would have hesitated six
months ago to say what direction
the new drift of events would take. ,
In many respects, the advance of
foreign exchange in last week's clos
ing days vVa of higher i significance
than-.- any ; other movement of - the
season.' The' kind of recovery fore
shadowed in our own' market was a
necessary sequel sooner or later; the
only question was the .time, of its
arrival.
Outlook Important, f ; "
With the European probetv the cse
was .. altogether different. , . There has,
perhaps, been greater pessimism Jri' "Wall
street evr 'th European question dur--ing'
recent weeks than at any 'time sineo
the armistlge. . Therefore, last week's
recovery In foreign exchange, a market
iVhich, aside front the other . jnfluene.ee
which govern It, . reflects in the long
run, any change for. better or worse' in
the foreign economic .situation is of high
Importance.
To what extent the movement had any
thing to do with the German reparations
matter is doubtleas' material for conjec
ture. fo one ceuld learn from last
week's onfletlng information, the at
titude of Intention on this question of
the Qerman government,, the allied states
men or the London bankers,. The pre
sure tact was that the outside banking com
rtl unity has notified Oermariy that; its per
formances with paper rnoney, a reckon'
ing for which' is apparently iu store in
the shape of a- formidable crash on, tho
German markets, were wholly Its 'Own
fault and must be stopped before any
measure of outside relief are granted. .
Future Conference Ukrlv,
Conceivably, there will be an Interna
tional conference at some future time to
consider the depreciated eclmng. Bven
in Wgll street, however, there appear to
be many people with an idea T-hAt some
sort ef financial magio can be invoked
to keep these exchange rates at a stable
Wvel. higher than the present .market.
There is no such magic. We saw in 1917
and 1918. that the thing can be dons
if our government or our open market will
itself provide credits sufficient to offset
the influence of an adverse-balance of
trade and of a depreciated currency' . in
which a draft on Europe would be paid
at its home' market. . But the achievo
'fnent of those yeers cost our' government
810,000,000,000 and has created a knotty
economic and political problem ot Its ewn.
With ..the first-class states pf western
Europe, the trade balance la slowly
swinging In the direction of normal times,
Shipment of gold to the United (States
and placing ot foreign loans In the New
Tork market ar helping. Even with
the inflated currencies. England and
France are taking continuous and,, on thi
whole, unexpectedly , rapid steps toward
return to equilibrium. ,
Failures This Week T:
With sis business days this week coin,
paring wlUi rive such days last week,
when there was a holiday, failures in the
United Ststea this week not unnaturally
disclose an increase, numbering 6JT. This
total contrasts with 45J defslpls : )ast
week, a difference, of T5. but ,1s. slightly
below th 638 insolvencies reported o R.
O. Pun ft Co. two weeks ago. During
this week of last year, 389 failures oc
curred. ' The number of defaults involv
ing 95.000 or more of liabilities in each
Instance this week Is 301, which repre
sents &T.1 per cent of the total number.
Last week, ST6 insolvencies-had an In
debtedness of 98,000 or more In each, case,
the ratio to the aggregate nambir there
fore being 80.9 per cent,-wh,lr9 there were
198 similar failures In this week ot 1920,
or a ratio of 56.0 per cent. .
Numbering 68 failures in Canarla this
week compare with 81 last we1t,-4T two
weeks ago and 30 in this week of 1920.
Of the current week's defaults, 43 had
liabilities of 85 000 or mora in each in
stance, which is equivalent to 63.2 per
cent of the total number. This ratio
contrasts with one of only 95.8 per cent
last week,, when. there were 29 similar In
solvencies, and Is also above the ratio
of 53.J per -cent disclosed in, hi week
of last yuar, . . , -,

on the wholesale prices per pou.id of 31
