WHEAT SEESAWED
BY CROP ESTIMATES
Bearish 1921 Figures Correctly
Predicted-Bullish Report
Expected To-day.

CHICAGO, Dec. 2s.--lt was a seesaw
market in wheat to-day. Correct belief
that Government rgures this afternoon
on the 1921 crop would be bearish led
to declines. but then the market rallied
owing largely to predictions that the
Government report tomorrow on the
1929 crop would be bullish. The close
was unsettled. at 1sc. net loss to sc.
gain. with May at S1.161s to S1.16A
snd July s1.O5 to s1.05ls. Corn finished
unchanged 20 1sc. off, oats at 1sc. de-
sline 20 a like advance. and provisions
varying from Tc. setback to a rise OF
i0c.
Most wheat traders expected 25.000,-
700 to 5U,o00o0G bushels increase Of the
Governments 1921 crop estimate At
sention' csntered almost wholly on this
factor In the first half of the session.
A. a result, prices showed a general
,sndency to sag, and 1t was near mid
day before dry weather complaints from
the Southwest. were effective in divert
ing notice chiefly to the chances OF a
bullish showing tomorrow from WASH
fngton on the acreage and condition
Of next years crop. Influential buying
followed, and the finish, although ir-
regular. was at about the best prices
OF the day. Raips delaying the Argen-
tine harvest counted somewhat in favor
Of the bulls at the last.
Changes in corn and oats were gov
erned largely. by wheat. Bulls in corn
were restraihed owing to the outlook
that reduced freight rates would en-
large receipts.
Packers selling did much to counter
balance higher quotations on hogs.

ARGENTINE LOAN HITS sNAG.
U. 8. Bankers Onering $BO,OOO,OO'
Meet Clash in Congress.

BUENos AIRES. Dec. % (Associated
Press) New York bankers reported
seeking to lend s6o.000.00O more to Ar
sentina desire to have the loan approved
by the Argentine Congress, and in off,
cial circles here the conditions are the
cause Of the loan not having material
ICED as was expected this month.
After the conclusion Of the first $780,
100000 loan last September. its legality
was attacked by newspapers opposed to
the administration Of President Yri-
goyen on the ground that 1t was made
without the consent of Congress- Presi-
dent Yrigcyen holds that such consent Is
unnecessary. and 1t is said he will not
negotiate q second loan with such q con-
ditien attached.
The Argentine Government has been
unable to accept the terms OF the recent
offer from Belgian bankers for a loan of
10000. 900 francs.

PANHANDLE PASSES DIVIDEND
Financial Results of Opera tfon In
1921 Responsible.

The directors of the Pittsburgh, Gin
cinnati, Chicago and st. Louis Railroad,
80 per cent. of the stock Of which is
owned by the Pennsylvania Company.
decided yesterday that no dividend for
1921 would be paid by the former. Six
mopths ago they postponed action on it's
dividends previously paid at the rate OF
2 per cent. semi-annually.
The decision to make no disbursement
was taken on account Of the financial
results Of the Panhandle operation in
the last year. In eleven months ended
on November 80, 1921, the road showed
an operating deficit Of $373,011 in con-
trast to a deficit Of $11.6s7.590 in the
corresponding 1920 period. It's gross
receipts Of the former period were $89.-
647.89 in contrast to $100,5S6,945 in the
corresponding 1920 period. 1he road s
net operating income in November was
$660.222 in contrast to $402.407 in No
vember. 1920.
The Pennsylvania Company, which
operates the lines Of the Pennsylvania
Railroad system west Of Pittsburgh de-
clared yesterday its usual semi-annual
dividend Of 8 per cent, payable on De-
cember 81. to its shareholders Of record
on December 2S.

To Dictate Glove Fashions.

The question as to which has the
greater influence over glove fashions,
shoes or hose is one Of the disturbing
questions in the glove market the dis-
turbance is caused by the fact that
STYLES for shoes and hose are widely
divergent and glove manufacturers are
unable to determine which article OF
merchandise will predominate in the
spring fashions. In shoes black Is
steadily gaining in popularity. In hos
iery there is q tendency toward light
shades. The affinity Of glove and shoe
fashions in Paris is very marked and
practically all black gloves and black
shoes almost invariably are worn to-
gether. In the local market black gloves
in. light weight glace kid are gaining IN
importance as the spring season ap-
proaches ana that development is
strengthening the conviction that the
fashions here in gloves and shoes will
follow the lead Of Paris.

The combination OF general worldwide
deflat.on and the flooding of the worlds
gem markets with jewels by the Boil

paid dividends of 40 per cent. will be

Whereas in the year 1g19-l920 the De

Turn to American Chemicals.

Prices Of imported chemicals have
risen above the cost Of domestic spot
goods. Drug and Chemical MARKET will
say to-day, and in consequence buyers
have turned to American made material.
Contract business for 1929 is developing
satisfactorily and few price changes are
evident. In the dye market manufactur-
ers are cutting prices and prices Of pro-
duction are being reduced. Buying
curing the holidays has been restricted
to small lots and demand for essential
oils Is practically at a standstill. Con-
sumers show little interest in vegetable
oils and prices are weak. Menhaden oil

surning channels and Manila and Ceyion
