Stock Market
Erratic Despite
Lower Call Rate
Prices Rally After Early Fall,
but Losses About Equal
Gains; Shipping Shares
Drop on Trade Outlook

Prices fluctuated in highly irregu-
lar fashion on the Stock Exchange yes
tcrday, and at the end losses and gains
were about equal in number and size
Action OF the market seemed to indi-
cate that the most urgent liquidation
hAd been completed, for sharp drive
against values in the morning, appar-
emily engineered by professional spec
ulators, carried prices down sharply
without bringing out much real long
stock. Then, when the bears began to
cover, prices recovered about as rap
idly as they had declined, so that the
net results of the days transactions
were not important as far as they af-
fected the general level of quotations.
In one aspect. however, the market
was decidedly disappointing to those
who had been looking for a consider
able rally. In spite of the fact that
money, after renewing at ID per cent,
slid down to 8 per cent and remained
there until the close of the session, the
demand for stocks was extremely light
and apparently came chiefly from those
VINO had previously sold short for the
decline. This lack Of buying power
showed clearly the absence of any
other than purely professional de-
mand for stocks, which latter was filled
so readily after prices had moved up
bit that even those bullishly inclined
hesitated to make extensive commit
ments. On the other hand, the bears
were not anxious to press things in the
face of falling money rates, and so the
market quieted down.
Shipping shares Jared rather worse
than most Of the list. They were sold
heavily. owing to the slump in foreign
trace and freight rates, which. it is ex-
pccted, will materially reduce their
earnings this year. According to re-
ports, the demand for transatlantic
corgo space is already Under the sup
ply, with prospects of much greater
slump in the near future than has been
experienced thus far. Shipping agents,
VINO usually have a pretty good line
OH the situation, assert that there has
been q pronounced falling off in ship
ments Of bulk goods, and that within
six weeks there will be a derable
surplus Of shipping for the trade with
Europe.
1t is stated that the decrease in grain
shipments has been surprisingly large.
Ii this is so it is highly significant
fact. for the prosperity of the country
is based more than anything else on
the purchasing power of the rural dis
tricts. Should there be any great de-
cline in wheat exports it is not i'm
possible that the government will be
called upon to make good its guarantee
to the farmers, which might cost sew
eral hundred million dollars

Money and Credit

After opening and renewing at Il
per cent yesterday the rate for call
money eased off and closed at 8
per cent. The drop in the rate
was attributed to the expectation that
government Withdrawals from banks
will be small for some time to come
and that the reserves Of the banks
VIII " H. be e increased T.a by BY the the p payment
in anticipation of the Victory loan.
Government Withdrawals to-day will

day, compared with a year ago, were

Joining the Retreat

Cuba-American Sugar broke 90
points to 401 yesterday on trade in
volving single 100 share lot Of stock.
The decline was belated recognition
OF the downward revision OF prices
that took place last week. Inactive
high priced stocks often times refuse
to go down when the market is in the
midst of decline, but catch up with
the RETREAT later on. Last week. when
the whole market was falling under
pressure Of insistent liquidaticn.

which changed hands, went at 4bO. the
high price Of the year.

Small Traders Buying Stocks

The drastic decline in stock prices
apparently has not frightened the
small traders out of the market A
market for "odd lots" of stock reports
that purchases last week exceeded
sales by. more than As per cent, com
pared with 10 per cent excess the
week before. The number of buyers
was about 60 per cent greater than the
number Of sellers. : The increased
activity Of the small traders on the
buying side at a time when stocks
were breaking so sharply, is attributei d
to desire on the part of such in
vestors to take advantage of what they
considered low prices for leading
stocks

In Wall Street
Wanted A Leader

Wall Street would give q great deal
for guiding hand to lead it out Of
the morass Of international and domes
tic credit difficulties. 1t is freely ad
nitted in many quarters that the finan
cial community lacks constructive lead
ership. . The sentiment is we'll ex-
pressed by the Stock Exchange firm Of
Chandler Bros. & Co.: "How great
the necessity for some strong, vibrant
leader, not merely in this country, but
in the world. The strong personal mi
tiative Of the late. J. Pierpont Morgan
would have been struggling with sew
eral Of tho vexed problems of to-day
with convincing power. Some definite
plans on foreign exchange, on the rail
road situation, and on the never ending
feud between labor and capital would
have engaged his determined purpose.
There is great lack of vigorous and
compelling leadership to guide us to a
clearer vision. There should be day
Of prayer appointed for the appearance
Of such a leader"

ters. The Sinclair organization has a

former head of the oil division of the

Britain's Invisible Exports

Despite the terrific fall in sterling
exchange duo to the abnormally large
balance that has been rolled up against
Great Britain, hope is not dead in Lon
don that the current year will see con-
equilibrium in the international mar
kets. The current issue Of "The Board
of Trade Journal" Of London, sets
forth in much detail calculations of
what Britain's invisible exports were
in 1919 and what they may be eX-
pected to become this year. The re-
suit Of these calculations show:
1920 1919
Net income from
Investments .s1oo, 5000 900 $50. 900, 900
Net shipping
Other
services ....... 10000, 900 1000. 900
Total .....s4o. 100000 $40. 600, 900
provided there is no further no
table imitation of prices" it is stated,
"it seems reasonable to anticipate that
the surplus Of imports should not ex-
coed f45O,00o,00o in 1920 and may even
be little over f350,000,000, against
which we should have invisible ex-
ports of 9640, 100000. After making
all reasonable allowances for the
doubtful factors in the calculations,
we may fairly hope that the United
Kingdom will go some way toward re-
covering the net surplus of about
100000 q year, which was avail
able before the war for investment
abroad"

What Do You Think of the Market p"
A member Of Stock Exchange
house: even should it be possible to
establish a per cent rate for call
money you cannot expect revival Of
the former bullish vigor in the stock
market. The public is in a state of
mind that will not permit of a large
buying wave from outside sources.
Optimism has given way to conserya-
tism throughout the country. and con-
servatism is giving way to pessimism.

don't believe we have seen the end Of

ACCUSES
POLICE CHIEF

Cooperstown, N. D., Dec. 11.-Har-
old Ravndal, arrested on charge of
selling liquor, has made an affidavit
to the effect that s. N. Jones, chief Of
police Of Cooperstown, had taken II
bottles of liquor from his car several
days ago, while the records disclose
that only one bottle Of whisky was
turned over by Jones to the sheriff.
Ravndal probably will be given hear
ing today. He is very well known in
this community.
According to county authorities Ravn-
dal, said he came to Cooperstown on
Nov. 27 with 18 bottles of whisky and
that he sold part of it to local consum-
ers. He says in his confession that
the officer accosted him, took IL bot
les of whisky from his car, and told
him to beat it.
Mr.. Jones says he took, two bot
ties from the Ravndal automobile, one.
filled and one empty. His statement
is supported by an eye witness to the
ransastion.

LAST HOPE IS
EFARM BUREAU.

Usher L. Burdick, well known live
stock man of Williston who was elect
ed president at the temporary organi-
zation meeting of the North Dakota
Farm Bureau Federation, has issued
the following statement:
agriculture in America during the
past so years hasn't had a square deal.
The calling has been regarded as
menial and no information of an au-
thentic nature in regard to the cost Of
production was presented to the public.
The American Farm Bureau Fedora
ton, it seems to me, is that great
hope of fast declining agriculture.
Through this agency production cost
will be presented to all, and the farm
will show production cost below
which farmers cannot sell.
"Secondly, agriculture will come to
it's own and be recognized as great
greatest Of all in Ameri-
ca. Thirdly, it will stay. that danger
Gus and deplorable condition now pre-
vailing of the title of the soil passing
from the tiller to the hands of those
who do not till. Lastly, it will hold
the boys and girls on the farm and
build happy American homes"

MUCH INTEREST IS
BEING MANIFESTED

A meeting was held in the City Hall
Friday afternoon, under the auspices
Of the Barnes County Farm Bureau.
About sixty farmers were present. The
purpose Of the meeting was to explain
the working Of the Farm Bureau, and
the benefits which would be derived
from the same. This was very thor
oughly discussed and made clear. A
few Of the farmers signed up at the
meeting, while others expressed their
desire to consided the matter further,
but expressed belief that the bureau
was good thing.
A meeting Of similar nature was
held in the Getchell school Friday
evening. About Is farmers were pres
ent. Meeting for the same purpose
will be held in Nome this afternoon
and Hastings tonight.
No report had been received from
organizers who are working in the
county this morning, but reports being
brought in indicate that the farmers
are going strong for the bureau: Ward
county, in which the city of Minot is
situated, recently went 80 per cent
strong for the bureau.

was played in the new High School
gymna sium, the first time that it has
been used for a game with an outside
team.
Neither side displayed any great
amount of skill when it came to pass
ing or fast floor work, although Val
ley was evidently the strongest Of the
two from the beginning. Both sides
had personal fouls called repeatedly
for holding. Wimbledon was lacking
in her defensive work, while this was
one of Valley City's strong points
causing Wimbledon to make long shots
which usually fell far short of the
basket. Captain Larsen starred for
Valley City, having his shooting eye
with him and doing some fine floor
work and passing.
This being the first game of the
season, Coach Fagin changed the per-
sonnel of the team few times to try
out his men.
The new gym floor proved ideal, and
Valley City now has gymnasium
equal to that Of any other school in
the state. The next game will be with
Sanborn on Friday, December II.
