GREAT STRENGTH
SHOWN IN WHEAT
AT CHICAGO TODAY
Canadian and Duluth Ex-
porters Purchase Futures.
Strong Commission De-
mand-Corn Stronger.

CHICAGO Jan. 2.--Much strength was
shown In wheat today. There was buy
Ing OF futures by Canadians exporters
who had acceptances since Thursday and
who received bids from abroad today 2
cents per bushel higher Duluth export
ors also bought some here Moreover.
there was a strong commission demand,
part of 1t based on an improved milling
call for wheat here and East on the
probability that domestic millors soon
may be making up for lost time in re-
plenshing their stocks
The yield Of wheat in Argentina is Of
ficially placed at 1s2,OOO.OOO bushels and
the exportable surplus at 49,, 100000 bush
els. Futures closed III to Ia cents
higher
Corn was stronger Cash corn ruled
'sc. hishere here and country offerings
we're light again, although probably a
little larger than on Thursday
Futures closed y to Sac. higher.
oats ruled higher There was some
buying of futures, which the trade
thought meant export bushes. The Yield
of oats in Argentine is placed at $1,000 600
bushels and the eNportable surplus at a.
100000 bushels Futures closed &c higher.
Provisions showed strength. Hogs at
the yards were higher and there was n
better call here than had been expected
for lard.

GRAIN RATES UPHELD
Commerce Board Refuses to Interfere
With Tariffs.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 1.-The refusal OF
the Pennsylvania, Pittsburgh, Cincinnati,
Chicago and st. Louis, Baltimore and
Ohio and the Pittsburgh and Lake Erie to
provide certain tariffs on grain and grain
products at Pittsburgh after the grain
has passed through elevators was upheld
by the Interstate Commerce Commission
today.
The Grain and Hay Exchange of Pitts
burgh sought to compel the railroads to
adopt a tariff permitting the shipment
In mixed carloads OF two different kinds
OF grain which originated on two different
roads to be sent from Pittsburgh 20
destination at part of the through rate
from point Of origin. The commission
held that the refusal OF tho railroads to
make such n tariff was not unreasonable.
The commission also vacated It's sus-
pension of tariffs which prohibited tho
shipping of bran, middlinCs and screon-
irss mixed with corn and grain from
pittsburgh on the basis Of Joint rates

STOCKS STAGNANT
AS YEAR BEGINS
IN PHILADELPHIA
Better Demand for Bonds
Predicted = Dealers Ex-
pect Institutions to Become
Buyers.

stock trading on the Philadelphia Ex-
change during the two hours II remained
open today was confined chiefly to odd lot
transactions Here and there small losses
were registered. notably in Electric stor-
age Battery, Reading and Pennsylvania.
The latter's poor showing for November
was depressing factor. the gross earn
ings being the poorest Of any month of
the fiscal year Net earnings also fell
sharply despite heavy curtailment of eX-
penditures. Lake Superior shares made
no response to tho placing OF an order
for 1900 tons or rails with the Algoma
Steel Company for delivery in this coun-
try.
whereas the dealing in stocks was vir-
tually at a standstill, bond trading was
quito brisk for Saturday session De-
mand appeared for Baldwin Locomotive
IS, keystone Telephone 5s, Philadelphia
Electric As, Lehigh alley as and American
Gas and Electric IS.
That the banks bought securities quite
freely during the early part of the past
year has been a matter of common
knowledge. The last report of the Comp
troler of the Currency showed that the
amount of various classes of bonds held
by the banks OF this country on June 30
was S5,5%9OO,O0O against S5,4O7, 100000 in
1913. Since then the movement is un-
derstood TO have continued, but to lesser
degree. Exceptional opportunities to pur-
chase igh-gradc issues cheap were
presented in the latter part of the year,
but the situation was such that instltu-
tions could not take full advantage OF
the chance. In this city since the new
reserve bank system went into effect
there are indications that local institu-
tions must have been purchasers of So
curlties to at least Il trifing extent
Since November the reserves had fallen
up to December 2S no less than $2G, 49l, 900
A part of this loss was reflected in de-
! creased deposits. loans and circulation
which drained the reserves some ten
millions.
The city's share in the Canadian gold
pool also amounted to something like
$500, 900, but there still remains between
$ll,000,0O0 and s12,0O0,0O0 to be accounted
for by the retirement OF emergency cur
rency and clearing house certificates
Could portion have gone into the pur-
chase of securities? Local bond dealers
say they did quite a brisk business UP
to the middle Of December, when demand
fell off sharply With the turn of the
year they hope for a decided improve
ment. They argue that the large finan-
cial institutions are finding difficulty In
placing their surplus funds and that
these will find an outlet in the buying OF
high-grade issues
