With a favorable crop outlook in
all sections the opinion continues
to prevail that wheat prices are vet
too high. Prices fell today from

most all cash interests buying De-
cember every time the price went

A heavy calling Of margins over
night precipitated further liouids-

tured by heavy selling at the start
by houses with country connections.
The cash demand remains slow de-
spite the recent sharp breaks in
values. Ideal weather conditions
are reported from every quarter.
Oats declined \ 70 5k largely
due TO q lack Of outside buying and
further liquidation. Some observers
believed that the market was over
sold and that news lacked any

BANK CLEARINCS.

While some centers continue to
report a trend toward contraction,
bank clearings at twenty-one lead
ing cities in the United States last
week, aggregate s7,934,205,242. an
increase of 0.4 per cent over the
total Of this week last year, and
of 37.6 per cent in comparison with
the figures of the corresponding
period of 1919. The. clearings at
New York city, partly because of
reduced operations in the specula-
tive markets, are 11.2 per cent less
than those of a year ago, amount
ing to s4,5oS,s25,593. but are $40
per cent in excess of those of this
week in 1919. Most of the centers
outside the metropolis show gains.
and the $3,425,57s,649 reported by
all points represents an increase of
2l.4 per cent over the total of a
year ago, and of ass per cent over
that of the same week of 1919. The
exhibit, as a whole, is a favorable
one. but the returns for some weeks
past have not failed to reflect the
diminished activity of general busi-
ness, and the yielding tendency Of
prices.
Average daily bank clearings for
the year to date are compared be-

MEXICAN OIL SITUATION
REMAINS UNCHANGED

The negotiations in Mexico City
over the oil situation are being
closely watched by the State De
partment. and it is expected that
on their outcome depends in large
measure the question OF the recogni-
tion Of the de Ia Huerta govern
ment
Unless the United States can
make satisfactory arrangements
with the new regime for the de-
veIopmeut Of the oil resources
owned by American interests il is
hardly likely that de la Huerta
will be recognized The Mexican
question may even be thrust into
the coming campaign as an issue,
because the Republican party is
tacitly committed to what in sub
stance amounts to a policy Of inter-
ventiOn unless the present Mexican
administration can restore order to
the country and permit the orderly
developments Of her vast petroleum
riches.

ways radiating good cheer from

Others have wealth and power

recreation and enjoyment, and
yet they are never content. A

is unknown to them.
