WEEKLY GRAIN REVIEW.

Chicago, Dec. 24.-With $2O,0OO,OOO

stuffs for Russia, all grain and pro-
visions this week have increased in
value Compared with a week ago,
wheat this morning was up IL to
5A a bushel, corn gained 1k to 2Ss.
oats 1a@5s to Ia ais, and pork,
lard and ribs 15 to So
Both before and after the actual
signing of the Russian relief bill the
wheat market gave evidence of being
bullishly affected by the measure.
Confidence in immediate government
purchases was manifest and prices
made a ready response to increased
buying which, however, was partly
based on cold weather and on fears
that lack Of snow protection in the
southwest might result in much DAM

Heavy profit taking sales on the
ensuing advance led to reactions, but

STEEL AND METALS MEN
OPTIMISTIC OVER FUTURE

New York. Dec 24-The steel
trade is looking forward as a whole
with optimism toward the new year
and is confidentially anticipating a
general improvement in industrial con-
ditions and in the volume of business.

ing the reduction of So per ton in

has generally tended down. although
there is no accumulation of supplies
and a better business is anticipated
after the turn Of the year.
In copper there has been the usual
pre-holiday lull in domestic demand,
but export business had continued and
the market has been generally firm.
It Is said that some of the smaller
dealers or custom smelters are will

. THE WEEK I'm BUSINESS &
WEEKLY FINANCIAL REVIEW.
By The Tribune.

New York, Dec. 24.-Financial mar
kets continued to move confusedly this
week, stocks evincipg a more reaction
ary tendency while the demand for
bonds was fully sustained.
Dealings In stock were dull In COM
parison with the corresponding period
of 1920, when the daily turnover was
of substantial dimensions at prices %
to 80 per cent or more over those
now prevailing.
Much of the intermittent selling
probably originated from corporate in
terests which sought to adjust income
tax returns before the years end.
Professional pressure was restricted
to several Of the Industrial companies
whose affairs are now in state of
transition.
Fears of money furry seemed to
be unfounded, call loans renewing for
the most part at 5 to 51a per cent
Purchases of commercial paper also
were on a fairly liberal scale, though
limited to 30 and 60 day maturities.
Reduction of rediscount rates by
the Atlanta Federal Reserve bank
confirmed the impression prevalent in
local financial circles that cotton and
grain bills are in process of further
orderly liquidation.

FINANCIAL

New York. Dec. 24.-Ths short session
Of the stock exchange today was
traders affair, the weekend and i'm
pending holidays combining to reduce
dealings to slender proportions.
So far as the list showed any defin-
ite trend, price changes mainly were to,
ward higher levels. OILS, metals and
miscellaneous issues, including rubbers
and tobacco, supplanted the usual lead
ers Of the Industrial division. Many or
the popular rails were entirely ignored
for specialties controlled by pools. New
Haven repeated its low quotation of the
year, but Chicago & Northwestern re-
covered part Of its decline. Sales
amounted to 276, 900 shares.
Business IL foreign exchanges was
little more than nominal, but the prin-
cipal remittances were distinctly firm.
The London rate was higher by one per
cent and allied quotations rose five to
twenty points, strength also being show
ed by Dutch, Swiss, Norwegian and
Spanish bills.
Tho bond list retained its recent un-
certain characteristics, liberty issues
and the domestic division almost as a
whole closing at mixed changes. Total
sales (par value) $5,775, 900.
Changes In the weekly clearing house
statement were slight, considering the
heavy transfer of funds In connection
with new underwritings. Actual loans
and discounts decreased $14,255,0 900 and
the cash loss of about $8,656,o00 was
barely one-third of the previous week s
gain, leaving excessive reserves at ap-
proximately $2S, 100000.

Barter Impossible
With Soviets, Says
Dutch Statesman

The Hague.-( Correspondence of
the Associated Press.)-Fore;gn Min
lister Karnebeek told the Netherlands
parliament the other day that Eng
land, Germany and Norway were
greatly disappointed over the results
Of their commercial treaties with Rus
sia. He said that Russian production
was 80 unimportant that barter ves
impossible, that the economical condi--
items in Russia were gettlng worse and
that the Russian gold supply was rap
idly decreasing.
The minister was skeptical about
opening diplomatic relations with Rus
sia, saying that the soviet government
had never approached the Dutch gov
ernment for recognition. This, he
said, was natural because recognition
would mean respect by Russia for the
Dutch government and they could
hardly expect the soviets to respect
the Dutch form Of governmen ent.

Germans Are Working,
No Unemployment Is
English Visitors View

Sheffield, Eng.-(Correspondence of
The Associated s).-Lord Haldane,
who was in Germany recently, says he
found the Germans working hard. They
had put aside all thoughts Of arma-
ments because they realized that arma-
ments did not pay.
They realized, however, that some
thing which would pay was the applica-
ton of the science which they had
learned before the war and which they
would have applied in peace if they
had not been interfered with by small
military party.
Now they were determined to be free
from interference of the military party.
The output of scientific books had be-
come enormous. All classes of people
were working hard, and unemployment
hardly existed.
They had no money except paper,
which was badly deprecated, and to re-
store their normal condition they had
found work by taking other people,
washing. He said he saw large
number of ships from Tyneside being
repaired in German dockyards because
German dockyards could do the work
cheaper than British workers.

GRAIN AND PROVISIONS

Chicago, Dec. A.-Despite the double
holiday in prospect, prices continued
their upward movement here today.
Wheat finished with net gains of n to
l cent; corn advanced % to IL, and oats
4 to V. Provisions were virtually un-
changed except in ribs, which registered
net gains of IL to II cents.
Sentiment for higher prices was mark
ed from the start In wheat. Holidays
abroad and resulting absence Of export
demand turned the traders to the study
Of domentic conditions and most Of the
news from this country was negative.
The opinion was advanced that the COM
ing government report would show de-
creased farm stocks.
The bears tried raid late In the ses-
sion but met stiff opposition and the
final rally was marked.
Corn was influenced by wheat and
also by the sale Of five cargoes for
Russian relief. Predictions were made
that this would lessen seaboard stocks
and result In buying here later. Oats
were a bit more active than usual, and
followed corn.
Provisions were as dull as the holiday
season demanded. but somewhat firmer
with live hogs and grain.
The prices Of futures ranged as fol-
lows:

The revival OF the export demand
has given the wheat market the most
encouraging appearance that it has
worn at any time since late in the
summer. The big autumn movement
from farm to market Is over 1t has
been unusually heavy and has drawn
down farm supplies exceptionally far.
The grain trade is beginning therefore,
to get the reaction from the state of
almost panic in which is was thrown

 According to this letter, there re- main to ship before December 1 only TOO single-six cars to fulfill the re- quirements of the current sales esti- mate Present shipments from the Packard factory are running double this figure, so there is no question but that substantial gain over quota will be made before the month is up. As a specific case of single-six sales activity, the letter cites train load shipment of 123 vehicles wuich were shipped to Los Angeles Novembec 2. Obviously, the public is keenly alive to the extraordinary value of this car at it's new low price.
 Packard twin-six sales likewise reflect a healthy state of activity. In fact, the production schedule on closed twin-six cars today is actually running behind the demands of the buying public.

SAYS NE VI CARS HARDER THAN
 OLD ON TIRES

Motorists often wonder that the tires which have given splendid serv- ice on their old cars do not wear as expected when specified on their new cars. Too often the quality of the tire is blamed,' says Bin smith, branch manager of the Miller Rub Der company's local bcanch.
 New cars are hard on tires. Being stiff and rigid. they do not give read fly under road shocks As a result, the new casing is literally ground to pieces between the car ana the road Even over good roads. tires are twist ed and damned in drivi 1g a new ctr with which the motorist is not famil- far and in which the gears are still stiff.
 Though new cars Ire driven care fully, oiled, greased an1 washed, the tires, consciously or unconsciously. are frequently run under-inflate un- der the mistaken supposition tha, soft tires ride more easily. Miller fire men claim that the properly inflated tire is actually the most resilient. If new tires were given the same attention, particularly with reference 1 to operating conditions and imitation, much needless trouble with a new | tire equipment would be eliminated.
 Also the average motorist and ga- rage man knows that the front wheels of a car have a certain necessary alignment. They must be drawn in below to provide each in steering and must toe in in front to allow for 1 spreading under traction.
 Front wheels on new cars are toed | in the full amount, but being stiff, they do not easily spread. Conse- quently the tires temporarily run out l Of alignment. Under such conditions, say Miller tire experts, the treads of the front tires scuff off rapidly.

you investigated your electrical sys- tenn, and found that after all IT was your battery and that it was dead?
 Every motorist driving a car with an electrical starter has some time gone through this experience.

And the most unpieGs- ant thing about the whole trarsac- ton is the fear that the sar1e thing may again be necessary.

CASING GETS AL BLAME FUR ALL
 TIRE TROUBLES

People seem to think that it is always the casing which causes tire trouble. Many times that may be true, but it must be remembered it is the inner tube which holds the air and any faults in design or workmanship are bound to show up under the constant strain of 75 or more pounds,' says L. H. Sorey. sales manager of the Western Auto Supply company, distributors of Jumbo extra thick tubes.
 We have had Jumbo extra thick tubes made to our special order to supply the demand of any car owner who wanted a tube thicker, heavier and better than the regular brand on the market.
 "The Jumbo tube is made of pure gum. constructed of a number of laminated layers of thin rubber, layed one on top of the other and vulcanized together into one insep- arabic unit which precludes all pos sibility of prosity or thin spots in the tube.
 "The Jumbo tube is made much thicker than the ordinary tube to give it greater durability and render 1t more or less immune from pinch tam~
