NEW YORK STOCKS
Session of Exchange Without
Meaning, Market Lapsing
Into State of Qui-
eScence.

New York. Dec, 1S-Apart from the ad-
ditional ground yielded by many securities.
especially bonds, today's session OF the stock
exchange was meaningless. The market
laRsed into absolute somnolence after the
first hour but displayed moderate activity
toward the end, when steels, coppNrs, ship
pings and a. few speculative specialticS
showed gains of one 20 two points
Overnight events and developments OF the
day contributed 10 the extreme dulness by
their negative character. Disappointment
was again expressed at the absence OF drfi-
mite word from Washington anent the rall
road problem and rumors OF foreign offer
ings In the coming year accounted in part
for the lower records Of existing issues Of
that class.
Recessions in the internat!o bond list
ranged from fractions TO almost . per cent
for Anglo-French ts, and "a per cent for
United Kingdom issues Of 1921.
Foremost among the domestic bonds
which broke to new low records were the
various issues OF such prominent roads as
Union and Southern Pacific Lake Shore, St
Paul. Pennsylvania, Reading and minor
Coalers The list also embraced such indus
trials as United States Steel IS. United

CHICAGO GRAIN AND PROVISIONS
Corn Develops Strength and Closes Firm
Oats Gain Half to One Cent.

Chicago, Dec. lS--Corn prices developed
strength today owing more or less to an
expected falling off in country advices OF
shipments Corn closed firm, with January
at $l2lL and May $1.l9ls@119h.
Oats gained half cent to one cent. The
outcome in provisions was a setback Of zoe
to soc.
At first the corn market had downward
slant as a result of continued mild weather
that seemed to promise increasing receipts.
The fact. however, that yet no decided
enlargement Of the number OF arrivals had
taken place tended to cautious selling, not
withstanding that government order
which stops the manufacture Of Industrial
alcohol from any kind of corn except sample
grade was generally construed bearish
factor. Later, the scarcity OF rural notices
Of consignment led TO good deal Of COM
ment, and during the last hour there was
somewhat vigorous upturn in values, the
consequence partly OF announcement OF a
sharp decrease of North American avaia bic
supplies of oats.
Signs OF export business at the seaboard
helped the oats market to rally from early
depressions. Heavy deliveries on contracts
here and local saleI to go to store were the
main sources Of the temporary weakness.
Over-abundant supplies Of hogs broke the
provision market

SHEEP SHORTAGE IS
FOUND WORLD WIDE
State Council of Defense Ap-
points Committee to
Look Into Local
Conditions.

Owing to the existence OF the very
alarming shortage in sheep, wool and
beef products. and fully aware of the
fact that these products are abso-
lutely necessary to the successful
prosecution of the present war, the
State Council for Defense appointed
a committee who arc we'll acquainted
with sheep and beef husbandry to
look carefully into this matter, with
the hope of finding speedy remedy.
Prof. H. b. Pier OF the animal hus-
handrv department, State University
farm, Lincoln, was appointed chair
man by the State Council for Defense.
ANY communications i'll regard to
sheep. wool and calves, intended for
the State Council for Defense should
be addressed to II. b. Pier.
1t is alarming but true that there
is not only great shortage of sheep
and wool i'll the United States. but
tins shortage is worldwide. The Sc
rlouSncsS of these facts will be
brought home when we learn that
the great flocks of the Balkan states
are now practically annihilated. In
Germany there has been reduction
to less than 100000 head Before
the war, England's textile trade with
Germany was $o3,000,O00 annually,
Germany selling England each year
100000 worth of yarns, rags and
cloth. During the war Germany has
been able to secure wool conhscated
from French and Belgian territory
only, Sheep stock has decreased p
per cent in three years in France.
England's clip has fallen from l30,-
00O00 pounds before the war to l03,.
100000 today. Sheep have been
slaughtered by the millions in Tur1
key, which previous to the war had
5N,000000 sheep and goats. Even tho
neutral countries have suffered. as
serious inroads have been made upon
the sheep stock OF Sweden, Den-
mark. Holland and Norway. Tho
hocks, however, of Russia have suf-
tered but little, Russia being tho
greatest sheep country in the world
today, with Australia and the Argen-
tine struggling for second place.

High School Teacher
InventS New Arm SpIint

t. H. Orchard, head of the me-
chanical drawing department at Cen
trail High school, has improved upon
a model of an arm splint submitted by
the Red Cross society as a pattern
for manual training department boys
of the public schools.
This pattern, approved by the Red
Cross and used by the Canadian gov
ernment as a standard, is intended
for only one arm, separate splints be-
ing necessary for left and right arms.
BY making simple change Mr..
Orchard devised pattern of a splmt
which may be used for either arm.
Manual training boys of the public
schools are making a complete unit
of more than 800 splints for the Red
Cross,

Cattle-Receipts of cattle were not quite
as large as on Monday. counting out 1900
head. but the total for the two days is
slightly larger than a week ago. Quality
was very common as general thing, ana
this made it very hard to make compari-
sons even where the stuff sold On the
few desirable steers that were here values
looked about steady Butcher stock was
draggy and a few sales which were tadc
early were weak TO 106l6c lower than yes
terday 1t took real good kind OF corn
fed cows to bring $40. There was quite
bit Of inquiry for desirable stockers and
feeders but early bids were as a rule
lower. and not much of anything had
changed hands up to this writing. The
common cattle of all kinds are having
hard time finding an outlet, and quite
bit Of stuff was carried over from yester-
day,

Hogs-There was a moderate run OF hogs
here this morning and trade opened with
shippers buying at a 10@l5c decline. There
was little doing on the packer division on
the early rounds. They were trying to get
their hogs at a further decline, and started
out bidding 25c lower, finally buying a few
hogs that looked anyway zoe lower. The
best price paid was $l605, with the bulk
Of the hogs moving at $16.S0915.95. Trade
was rather slow and draggy all the way
through, with a weak undertone. There
was little doing in stock pigs this morning.
