ACTION OF CONGRESS
OvERCOMES BEARISH
FACTORS IN WHEAT
(By Associated Press,


CHICAGO. Jan. S.-Congress has
week in the wheat market. Enact
ment of the war finance bill together
with steps toward an emergency tariff
more than effect all bearish factors.
AS a result wheat prices this morning
compared with a week ago were Ike
to 3Ac higher, corn was unchanged to
&c up, and oats varying from &c de-
cline to 1c advance. Provisions showed
gains of so to soc.
Action at Washington overriding
the Presidential veto of the war
finance bill gave immediate impetus to
upturns in the wheat market, but
realizing of profits led to a reaction
which was accelerated by reports that
the Egyptian government would try to
resell 1000, 900 bushels contracted for
in Australia Later additional weak
ness resulted from gossip that Argen-
tina was Offering wheat to Germany
Is to 20 cents cheaper than United
States wheat could be obtained.
Failure of a London bank counted
also against the bulls. Then came
news pointing to success for the pro-
posed emergency tariff, including
duty which would tend to bar Can
adian wheat from the domestic market.
Prices again jumped upward and bull
lish sentiment continued despite a
subsequent sharp increase of the esti-
mated surplus yield in Argentina and
Australia.
Material enlargement Of the move
ment of the corn crop was effective in
holding down prices for corn and
oats.
Provisions were governed largely by
the course of the hog market.
NEW YORK, Jan. S-The first week
of the new year was characterized by
a marked increase of activity at higher
prices for stocks and bonds, although
the credit situation continued some.
| what strained and the reinvestment
demand was comparatively light.
Sentiment among traders and the
professional element was more hope
| full but due account was taken of the
| important changes still in progress in
the commodity markets and in general
lines of trade and industry.
Gains in the stock list were most
substantial among the speculative Is
sues comprising the industrial and
special varieties, this same condition
applying to the bond market, in which
convertible rails developed pronounced
strength.
