NEW HIGH RECORDS
IN WHEAT MARKET
Results Are Far-Reaching From
Weeks Trading in Grain-U. S.
Reports a Factor.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
CHICAGO. December 2s.-Despite
heavy profit taking sales, new high
price records for the season have been
attained in the wheat market this
week. Upturns were based largely on
opinions that increased purchasing
soon by foreigners could hardly be
avoided. Compared with week ago.
wheat this morning was unchanged to
31s higher, corn down to 1 4 to lisa
10, oats unchanged to Is off and pro-
visions up 15 to 80.
Announcement of a decrease C
more than a six million bushels in
the amount of wheat on ocean pas
sage, together with assertions that
stocks of breadstuffs in Europe were
nearly on hand to- mouth basis. had
much to do with assumptions that
export business would be likely to
enlarge before long. Sub-Zero tenn
peratures and lack Of sufficient snow
protection for the domestic winter
crop tended further to lift prices. and
were but little offset by government
figures implying that the probable
yield would be fifteen million bushels
in excess of a corresponding estimate
twelve months back.
1t was contended by some authorl-
ties that the most weighty part of
the government report was the fact
shown that except in two cases, the
present condition of the winter crop
is the lowest on record. However.
bullish sentiment was a good deal
modified by virtual stoppage Of talk
about a loan to Germany and by
slowness of steps toward enactment
Of farm credit and foreign credit
bills at Washington. Holiday con-
ditions acted as further restraint on
buyers as the week drew to an end.
Although corn and oats. like wheat,
went above the seasons previous top
quotations. big receipts of corn here
made values recede later.
Provisions were higher in line with
hogs.

altogether the most promising step
yet taken toward a solution Of the
matter.
Much significance attaches to the
steadiness of the German mark in the
face of the prodigeous expansion In
the paper currency. Within six weeks
the circulation of the Reichsbank has
more than doubled. has practically
reached the trillion level. and the
mark is slightly higher now than 1t
was then. This is absolutely opposite
from the experience Of Austria and
the other nations of central Europe
where every fresh expansion in paper
note issues has meant fresh deprecia-
tion in the value of the money unit
that 1t seems to call for some special
explanation.
The most logical version Is that
German bankers and the German pub
lie in general now feel convinced that
the reparations program will be cut
SO that 1t can be met. that this will
be followed by an outside loan and
stabilization Of the mark, and that
consequently. despite the continued
tremendous outpour of the printing
presses. the panicky selling of the
mark has stopped.
