Chicago, Dec. 16.--Ail grains ranged
higher during the early part of the
session, led by wheat. The latter WAS
strong. because of heavy purchases
of futures against export sales, which
exceeded any reported for several
weeks. The early gain was lost, now
ever. and. in the case Of corn. some
deliveries closed lower than at any
time on the crop. The weakness was
caused largely by the fact that Sec
retary Houston's testimony before
the house committee discouraged OPP
timism in regard to the extension Oh
credits. Mr.. Houston also reassertetS
his previously expressed opinion that
revival of the war finance corpo-
ration, or any other war agency
would be detrimental TO the country
as a whole.

BY Associated Press.
Chicago, Dec. 16.-Weakness de-
veloped in the wheat market today
owing more or less to bearish opin-
ions current regarding the economic
outlook. The influence of the govern
ment crop report continued also as a
handicap to the bulls. On the de-
clines, however, there was free buy
ing for houses with eastern connec-
ticns. Opening prices which varied
from unchanged figures to pa cents
higher, with March at s1.5SA to
$1,000 and May at $1.54 to s1.55,
were followed by sharp downturns all
around and then something Of a
rally.
Subsequently indications Of export
business on large scale led to a
transient upturn in price. 1t was an
no,Inced that estimates OF the wheat
surplus in Australia had been reduced
12,l00,000 bushels. The market closed
heavy at the same as yesterdays An
ish to cent lower, with March at
s1.53A to $1.5s1k and May at $1.52A
to s1.52h.
Corn.
Corn sagged with wheat, May and
July corn touching the lowest level
yet this season. After opening un-
changed to ss cent off, including May
at 50 to 69A cents, the market un-
dervent a general setback before be-
ginring to recover.
Germ rose later with wheat, but
power to hold gains was lacking. The
close was weak Y to TX cents net
lower, with May at 67N to IS cents
Oats.
Increased country offerings had a
depressing effect on oats, prices
starring 81 cent lower to a shade
higher with May at 47X to 47%
cents. and then gradually descending.

How the Bankers Feel

representative bankers here refused
yesterday to be drawn into the contro-
Tersy between Senator Owen and W. p.
". Hardlng, of the Federal Reserve
Doard' over the deflation policy of the
feaeral Reserve and the New York
oanks. But they did not hesitate to
brand tAe charges as being unfounded
and the disposition on all sides was to
oscK strongly the stand taken bv Gov
ernor Harding that the present disturb
ing tendencies are due, not to anv
arbitrary action by the banks Of the
country. but to deep-scated causes that
are Worldwide in their influence and
are resporsi5le for the upheavals in
Japan and the Orient, in South Amer
1ca, IN Cuba and other distant lands.
Inc oficcr of one of the largest com
merc.al banks in the country said, re
garGlng the charges: Senator Owen
has gone off on the wrong tack. The
question of whether the reserve banks
nave or have not made profits is not
geHmane to the argument That does
not enter into the matter whatsoever.
Inc Federal Reserve system, as Senator
owen ought to know, was formed for
the regulation of credit That is the
Phase of the situation he should look
INTO. Hor my part, and most well-in-
formed people viii agree. the Federal
Reserve has functioned admirably and
along the lines laid out at the time Of
Its conception"

Southern Pacific rights to subscribe
to the stock of it's new oil company
were listed on thc Stock Exchange YES
terday after being traded on the Curb
for the owo days preceding. While there
was evidence Of continued selling Of
Southern Pacific stock the rights were
actively bought and closed at 22&4 the
top prize of the day, and net advance
Of l y points. The Street was much
puzzled concerning the greater relative
strength in the rights than in the stock
particularly in view of the fact that the
advice went forth in some quarters to
hold the stock and sell the rights. 1t
was argued that by selling his rights
and holding his stock the Southern
Pacific shareholder would still have q
security that is capable of earnings
under the new freight rates from Si2
to SIS {. share and pay IS to So a share
IN dividends.

lose of Liverpool shut out arbitrage
cling were followed by renewed
weakness, with active months selling
j5 to 73 points net lower during the
arly afternoon. The reported agita-
ion for q moratorium in Georgia evi-
lently made an unfavorable impress
sion on sentiment, and the lowest
rices of the day were touched after
