BAKERS sELF-PRAIsE METHOD

Washington. April 16-Former
Secretary Bakers method OF laud-
ing himself and his administration OF
the War Department are scoffed at in
a report on the foreign conduct OF
the war made by the House Commit
tee on Expenditures in the War De-
partment.
The Secretary OF War has not seen
fit to require that essential evidence
be placed befor a committe OF Con-
.gress. He has preferred to collect
the evidence" bearing on his adj
ministration and present 1t to the
public, as he would have 1t presented,
himself. This he has done in the
form OF several laudatory ,publica-
lions prepared at his request and
under his direction and distributed
broadcast in large numbers and at
great public expense. These publ
cations are intended to put out Of
popular view the regretable results
of official ineptitude and to take such
advantage OF popular exultation in
victory as might enable the head of
the War Department to claim the
glory Of being the outhor of our
military uccesses--successes which
had their birth in national strength,
unaided by administrative efficiency.
AS chief among these publications,
we refer to Americas Munitions.

WEEKLY GRAIN REVIEW

Chicago, Dec. 17.-Cncertainty about
European financial cinditions, together
with evidence that markets were assum-
ing q holiday character, has tended this
week to bring about declines in the val
ue OF wheat. Compared with a week ago
wheat prices Saturday morning were
down y to 3%, corn off IL to 1A, oats
unchanged to n lower and provisions
at a setback of Is to go
Weakness in the wheat market was
especially associated with the critical
outlook as to German reparation pay
ments and with accompanying prospects
that European demand for foodstuffs
might remain to a great extent on a
hand to mouth basis. Unexpected heavy
deliveries on December contracts here
added to bearish sentiment and TO, too,
did gossip that United States govern
ment annual crop figures on wheat
would perhaps show an increase as
proved to be the case regarding cotton.
Dry weather complaints from the west
and southwest led at time to consider
able covering by shorts, but the rallies
which resulted were transient. The best
upturn which the market scored was
due to apparent likelihood that con-
gress would vote $4,000 900 to buy sup
plies for famine sufferers in Russia
Corn and oats were lower, mainly be-
cause of liberal receipts Of corn here.
Provisions reflected for the most part
the action of the hog market.

New York Market
FINANCIAL

New York, Dec. 1.-THE week on the
stock exchange ended very much as it
began. Speculative issues were the Gen.
ter OF attraction. while investment
shares were dull and occasionally I'M
der further pressure.
Oils continued to provide the greater
part of the brief sessions moderately
large output, numerous industrials and
unclassified specialties making their
usual contributions.
Coalers, notably Delaware, Lacka-
wanna & Western, Reading and Lehigh
Valley were strong despite the labor
situation in the Pennsylvania fields, but
most rails followed their listless course
Of recent days.
Gains, in no conspicuous instance,
ranging beyond / to 2 points, were
shaded in the final dealings, when some
foreign oils developed reactionary ten
denotes. Sales amounted to 425,O0O
shares.
The bond market reflected the per-
functory movement Of stocks, dealings
in government issues showing mixed
gains and losses at the close. Inter
national war issues were devoid OF es-
pecial features. Total sales (par value)
$S,250,OO
An increase of $74.O0o,O00 in actual
loans and discounts, almost double the
previous weeks decrease In that item,
was the striking feature Of the clearing
shouse statement, demand deposits shew-
ing corresponding expansion.
The only weekend news touching on
general financial conditions was con-
tanned in the reviews of mercantile au-
thorities.
These for the most part were highly
encouraging in comparison with the
same period Of last year.

EXCURSION FARES
WILL BE REDUCED
Milwaukee Announces Cut APP
plicable After First of
the Year.

Passenger excursion rates from
Montana points to San Francisco, Los
cago. Milwaukee and st. Paul railroad
routing will be materially lowered next
year, II. r. Wahoske, division freight
and passenger agent announced Friday
The lowered rates will be effective
January /, 1922, according to the 1922
passenger tariff.
The present round trip excursion
fare to Los Angeles from Great Falls
on the Milwaukee routing is $145.S4
plus and eight per cent war tax. The
reduced fare for the same routing
which includes the Milwaukee to Spo-
kane, the O. W. r. & n. to Portland
and the Southern Pacific south will be
S13474 and no war tax.
These excursion fares are good for
period of nine months and allow
stop overs at any points. The re-
duced rate will also apply to one way
fares to California points, u was an

the inclination on the part of
wholesalers to have investories at a
high peak and desire to make just
as favorable showing on the balance
sheet as possible. 1t cannot be denied,
however, that there is big demand
for raw material and that the harden
ing of prices on basic commodities in
dicates an early resumption of manu-
featuring activity.
Tho Bond Market.
The bond market during the past
week was an uncertain affair, no def
mite trend being discernable through
out most of the list, except municipals
which continued the strength displayed
during the past three months. The
volume of transactions diminished con-
siderably from the week previous, due
no doubt, to a slight hardening of
money rates and to the absence of new
issues. Corporation and other Dor
rowers seemed dis.inclined to put out
securities at this time except at their
own terms. The past three months
have seen complete revival from a
sellers to buyers market so far as
borrowers are concerned, and conse-
quently corporations in need of funds
are sitting back easily upon the as
sumption that each days delay in a
rising market means more favorable
terms when this new financing is fin
ally consummated.
Liberty Issues Strong.
All Of the Liberty issues were strong
and fairly active throughout the week,
although prices fell Of bit toward the
although prices fell off bit toward the
never fell below 49, Transactions in
all the issues were heavy and partic
ularly SO in the Fourth AIS. indicat-
ing government buying in substantial
amount according to competent observ-
ers. The municipal market continued
it's upward course, and several large
state and city issues, notably, Pennsyl-
vania AVS and North Carolina SIS,
led the market upward and carried
with them a great many lesser known
securities now upon the shelves of
ding upon new offerings Of the City of
New York will carry prices to higher
figures than have been experienced
for several years. Industrial issues
were fairly inactive although all new
offerings were heavily oversubscribed.
This situation merely offers breath
ing spell after weeks of feverish ac-
tivity during which industrials have
shown higher rise in price compare
lively than bonds Of any other class.
Fewer Tax Dodgers.
A notable feature of the present
market as compared with that existing
at this time year ago is the strik-
ing absence of selling to record income
losses. 1t will be remembered that
December last year was one Of heavy
selling in practically all groups, be-
cause conditions at that time were at
lower figure than that at which most
Of the issues had been purchased, so
selling was undertaken merely as a
subterfuge to record losses. which
might be included in income tax state
ments for 1920. There is a prevail
ing feeling of confidence among in
vestment houses generally which looks
to continuation of bond prices either
upon the present levels or on slightly
rising scale during the entire first of
the year investment period.

SEASONAL DEMANDS FELT
~ WeIIs-Dickey Co.

Just at the moment seasonal de-
mands are making themselves felt in
retail channels, while at the same time
there has been some slowing up of
production in the primary markets
Both situations are in accord with
what might be expected in this season
of the year.
Christmas buying this year evidently
is rot so heavy as that experienced in
years past, Que to the prevalence of
unemployment and the consequent lack
of funds Retailers report o healthy
situation in that thrift seems to be the
keynote for Christmas purchases, and
a great deal of the buying at this time
for Christmas giving is being restricted
to articles of real use and valfe.
Little Farm Buying.
In the agricultural sections the low
pricing of farm commodities is having
q restrictive effect upon purchases and
there seems little indication that active
buying from the farm class will be ex-
perienced before well into the spring.
Farmers generally are holding their
products and are restricting purchases
to the barest necessities. Machinery
men and others catering to the farm
trade have hope that with the resump-
ton Of farm activity in the spring will
come also q substantial increase ID
purchases for farm use. The curtailed
activity II wholesale lines is a natural
condition at this season of the year,
only somewhat augmented perhaps by

Chicago Market
GRAIN AND PROVISIONS


Chicago, Dec 17.-Trade in all lines
was light on the board OF trade today.
Wheat finished Il lower to " higher,
corn was V to u lower, oats VI to Y
higher, and provisions unchanged to
10c higher.
Wheat started easy and after an in
itial furry turned heavy, sagging slows
ly until half an hour before the close
when a sharp break was recorded. In
the final thirty minutes evening up and
some buying influenced by export news
caused reaction in which the losses
were generally regained.
The trade was singularly Indifferent
to news that $500, 900 bushels Of wheat
had been sold for export in two days
and the Northwestern Grain Dealers
association report at Winnipeg on Can
adam production and reserves was also
ignored. It was pointed out, however,
that the grain dealers had based their
figures on the old acreage whereas gov
eminent figures showed some 4,5OO, 900
acres excess and 1t was argued that this
made the two reports about equal.
Heavy rains, making country roads
impossible helped to hold corn firm
Towards the end, however, the break in
wheat, coupled with the fact that ex-
port bids were below working basis,
turned that grain heavy. Oats were dull
and followed corn.
Provisions fluctuated within narrow
limits.
The prices Of futures ranged as fol-
lows:
