CORN AND OATS
SHOW DECLINE
Cash Market Inuences
Price of Futures.

CHICAGO. Jan. 2s.-Lower prices pre-
vailed on the Chicago Board of Trade
today. Futures were influenced .by the
weak demand for cash grain, which was
from 1@2c flower.
Lack of buying by export and eastern
buyers, because Of the embargo or grain
east of Buffalo, was also a factor In the
slump. Buyers are still complaining 0t
the car shortage.
A lower hog market and'light receipts
aided the bears. The market was dull.
Provisions were lower on the weaker
hog market.
January corn opened unchanged at
$1.45, but later lost NC.
May corn was down Hc at the OPEN
ing at $I25A and remained unchanged.
July corn, unchanged at the opening,
$J.S25s, lost CSC thereafter.
May oats opened unchanged at S3c
and remained at that level.
July oats, unchanged at the opening,
1JHc, subsequently lost Sc.

sumner Pays 1920, U. S. Says.

WASHINGTON, Jan. discharges of
alleged extensive profteering in potatoes
have been brought to the attention of
the. government, it was learned today.
and are being investigated. Fortunes,
probably, are being made out Of the erst-
while humble "spud," according to in
formation already in possession of the
Investigators. Consumers in many parts
of the country now are being forced to
pay at the rate of 1920 per bushel for
potatoes sold over the counter Of retail
grocers, 1t was learned.
Farmers who grow the potatoes re-
ceive slightly more than S1.57 per bushcl,
which was the price paid them IN No
vember, according to reports to the agri-
culture department. Middlemen, whole
salers and retail dealers get the balance
Of the consumers 1920.
Retailers say the high price is due to
a nationwide shortage Of potatoes.
Stocks of potatoes Of the 1919 crop
now on farms and in the hands OF deal
ers total 12S,1S1,O00 bushels. according
to the agricultural department.

LINEN OPENS TRADEDOOR TO RUSSIA

There are substantial reasons back of
the allies decision to deal with the
cooperative; and not the least
OF these can be said in one word
fax.
Just before the war. Russia was ex-
porting 81, 800, 600, 600 worth of raw ma
terial annually, chiefly fax, wood-pulp,
grain, hemp, fur. Most Of it went to
western Europe, particularly to Eng
land, Belgium and France. At the same
time she was importing only $500,Oo0,-
900 worth of Manufactured goods-ma-
chinery, hardware, rubber goods, drugs,
etc, thus leaving a balance of trade
against her nelghbors of $1,000,000,000

Since 1914 Russia has been able to
import almOst nothing, except ammuni-
ton and to export very little; since 1917,
indeed, she has been able to import
nothing at all and to export only spoone-
fuls. r
Take the case of fax: Before the
war, Russia produced so per cent of the
worlds total export. She provided Great
Britain with 80 per cent, Belgium with
90 per cent and France with 20 per
cent of the fax required for the linen
industries Of these countries. England
and Belgium between them, indeed, used
90 per cent of Russia's entire output.

His successor, DIR. Leopold SkuIski, il

FOday's Market Gossip

Stock letter by wire from New York
says: The steel statement is called
better than expected, though the earn
ings were smaller than in preceding
quarters. Yesterday we had new lows
in foreign exchange and a high money
rate and, because of the stock market
advances, some will probably reach the
conclusion that what the stock market
does Is more important and that ordinary
factors may be ignored. This may prove
to be a costly error. 1t looks to me as
though we have seen the maximum in
the volume of business both domestic
and export and this should be reflected
In an easier stock market"
Grain letter by wire from Chicago
says: "Our early morning advices are
that dollars In London are 1854, which
means a new low for sterling. 1t seems
inevitable that the foreign financial stu

Cant hold 'em up" was the common

Of hogs. and especially when buyers
have the advantage of a 90 per cent,
increase in the. daily receipts as cOu-
pared with those of q few days ago.
There were nearly 1900 hogs on sale.
and so far as most of the different aver
ages were concerned, prices. were 35c
lower than they were the day before.
One load of swine especially adapted
for making high class breakfast bacon
sold at the top price, $l6.15. but there
were only a Few other closely assorted
light hogs sold as high as $16 and the
bulk Of the hogs averaging less than
225 pounds brought $3.50. A little
heavier grade Of hogs sold largely at
$3.50, and hogs weighing on up to 3N
pounds brought S15.65. The biggest
Prices of pigs from SIS down were a
little lower, as were also the sales Of
sows from $14 down, with few higher
than $13.75. There was a good clear,
ance.
Cattle.
In the receipts of 1000 cattle most Of
the offerings suitable for the various
grades Of dressed beef sold 25@50c lower,
but 1t did not appear that there was
much change in prices for the cows lower
than 81 nor on the steers heifers. OF
cows qualified to sell near the top prices
of their class. There were more good
cattle here than usual and a larger list
of actual sales around top prices will not
indicate the decline in prices that there
really was. There was a continued good
demand for bulls at steady prices, Calves
were fully steady at the recent record
level in prices. There was a pinnacle
sale at $24, but the top price was prac-
tically S23. The demand for feeding cat
tie was not as good as expected, but
prices were steady.
Sheep.
There was a slight increase in the re-
ceipts of 400 sheep and lambs, but the
run was not large enough to stimulate
competition and there was no. apparent
change in prices. Lambs sold usually
from $40 to $50 and the heavy ewes from
SO down.
