II. F. Mcconnell expressed his conf

vestments. "ln 1914" said Mr.. Neon
nell, there WAS an average decline
in the market price Of almost every
public utility security, embracing COM
mon and preferred stocks and bonds,
but this decline was almost en-
tirely due TO natural cause and mar
ket conditions. Only two companies
have passed dividends on preferred
stocks and two others on their com
mon stocks, which is ample proof Of
their stability. The rapid advance in
price of all these securities since the
first Of November proves the perma-
nency and stability of the Public Util-
ity Holding Company In the electrical
field alone in fourteen years the eff
cheney of the electric lamp has been
increased 500 per cent, while the cost
of current has been reduced 90 per
cent

Trading in corn was under different
conditions from those governing wheat.
The crop of 1913 was below normal re-
ouirements, and early prices in 1914
were above the level conducive TO
healthy trading. The tone of the mar
ket continued strong, and the August
department report was unsatisfactory,
the condition of the crop being lowered
and the estimates providing for hardly
enough 10 meet home requirements.
War conditions sent prices upward, and
various arguments were presented for
the maintenance of high level, among
them being the idea that the large ex-
norts OF oats would cause larger use
Of corn as food for farm animals. this
being added to by the abnormally high
price OF wheat The December esti-
mate suggested a crop OF 2,672'sOi
bushels. which was considerably under
what the trade had expected, but It
was pointed out that the average yield
was only 25s bushels. where IL should
he AZ least 80. and that the 100000 600
bushels involved in the increased pro-
duction could be easily handled under
present export demand, provided the
scarcity Of freight room is remedied

OATS.

The oats market was in a nut for
the first part of the year, although
prices held steady, and farmers showed
a disposition 10 hold their supplies
owing 70 the scarcity Of corn. The out
break OF the war caused such condi-
tons abroad that buyers were forced
20 turn 70 this country for supplies,
and the export trade Immediately as
sumed large proportions, with a cor
responding advance in prices. France
alone was credited with taking some
3. OOO.O 900 bushels in one week, while
II was stated that 100000 bushels
had been bought for shipment. There
were several reactions in prices. al
most wholly based on the change OF
sentiment on the part OF farmers, who
later seemed willing TO dispose OF their
surplus az reasonable prices.
Under present conditions il is not
improbable that all the available sur
plus of the three leading grains in this
country will be absorbed by the Euro
pean demand before the next crop
comes into the market, and that while
there may be declines az times, they
will not be sufficiently permanent 20
