WHEAT MARKET
DEPRESSED BY REPORTS

CHICAGO, December 31.-Govern-
ment crop reports that were con-
strued as bearish regarding wheat,
and were accompanied by the failure
OF an important firm here, have been
effective this week in putting wheat
values on the downgrade. Compared
with a week ago, wheat this morning
was II to 21a lower, corn off 1s to
Ia and oats varying from rs decline
to "a advance. Net changes in pro-
visions ranged from II less to 10 gain.
Announcement of an increase of the
weekly total of the domestic visible
supply, whereas a decrease had been
looked for, preceded the government
crop reports and tended to give bears
in wheat an additional advantage.
Many traders had anticipated that the
governments 1921 crop estimate
would be enlarged, but few had ex-
pected that the increase would prove
SO great as turned out to be the case.
Furthermore, as a rule, the Subse-
quent figures which the government
gave regarding the 1922 crop took the
trade by surprise. Free selling, which
followed, included heavy liquidation
on the part of large houses, the sus-
pension of which was announced
later. The best rallies of the week
were due to indications that besides
corn large amount of wheat would
be bought for Russian relief.
Depression of corn was more or less
due to prospective increased receipts
as a result of reduced freight rates.
Bullish supply reports held oats COM
paratively steady.
Provisions averaged lower with
hogs.

BANKERS ARE OPTIMISTIC |
OVER YEARS PROSPECTS

NEW YORK, December 81. Busl-
ness prospects for 1922 are, in gen.
eral. hopeful, according to statements
by prominent bankers, made public
today by the American Bankers As
sociation.
1.-THE future of business and finance
in the United States is encouraging"
Of the association, He emphasized
the Importance of this country in
teresting itself in the problems Of
Europe, in order that American pros
perity may be maintained. He said
that, although some leading politi-
clans and newspapers opposed extend
ing aid to Europe at this time. "fu-
ture prosperity depended on the way
financial America answers the call"
The time for anxiety seems to be
entirely past and the middle OF 1922
should see recovery well established"
Of the National Bank of Commerce,
st. Louis. "All of the things neces-
sary to commercial betterment seem
to have been set in motion, SO that
1922 should see the beginning of the
era of our greatest and most golden
prosperity"
Prosperity among our farmers. man
ufacturerS and merchants is directly
affected by the unsettled condition of
finance and politics in Europe. ac-
cordlns TO j. A. House, president OF
the trust company division and
Guardian Saving and Trust Company,
Cleveland. This must be remedied,"
he added. at is apparent, also. that
strikes for higher wages are certain
ly not in keeping with the present
order of things. Labor must bear it's
fair share in future deflation."
John S. Puslicher. vice president of
the American Bankers Association,
said the trend was towards easier
money rates. and there was nothing to
indicate that this would not continue.
"It is our belief" declared r. s.
Hecht. president of the state bank
division of the American Bankers AS
sociation. that we will not again
have real prosperity in this country
until some kind of economic restora-
ton has been accomplished in Europe
and stable basis for international
trade worked out"

It would be guarantee for the peace

Thus spoke David Lloyd George.
the British prime minister. before the
house of commons In Quilting the work
OF the recent conference Of the imper-
lal premiers.
The premier was dealing speciflcal'
~ with the Anglo.Japanese alliance at
The time. and explaining how the con-
ference had unanimously recognized
that Japan loyalty had carried out her
obligations to Great Britain during the
war In letter and spirit.
Mr.. Lloyd George asked II 1t was to
be suggested that Great Britain should
now turn her back upon Japan with
a mere thank you and gOOd-by, after
Japan's aid had proved to be one Of
the turning factors I'm the war, In that
II had given protection to the transit
Of dominion and Indian troops across
seas. Even countries disliking the
Anglo-Japanese alliance would despise
the British II after such services Great
Britain turned her back upon Japan.
he declared.
The premier said he saw no reason
why 1t should be impossible to remem.
Der obligations to Japan and at the
same time preserve spirit Of fra
ternity with the United States.
1t was a cardinal principle of Brit.
ish policy, the premier continued, that
Great Britain should act In AZ COM
plete accord with the United States az
possible. He did not know of any
country In the world with whom 1t
was more important to act In concert.
He declared that the surest way to
make a success Of the disarmament
conference was first to reach an IN.
derstanding on Pacific questions, and
he hoped his view In this respect
would be taken at the Washington
gathering.
During his address. Mr.. Lloyd
George revealed the fact that the CON
ference Of the premiers did not dis
cuss the Irish question. He said there
was no burning desire to touch upon
that difficult matter.
