Wkcat-A considerably improved buy
ing power has prevailed in tOday's wheat
market, but it seems to be a centralized
rather than general nature. 1t is
thought to be inspired by Il cable item
to the effect that Germany would be
granted a moratorium and also by a news
item to the effect that negotiations be-
tween the German ReiSchsbank and Fed
eral Reserve Bank had been about com
pleted and an impression prevailed that
Germany would be granted loan These
items were accepted rs meaning bet
ter demand from Germany for foods and
commodities. The market has been
helped also by little broadening of the
milling inquiry, several markets report

stf0hS premiums Tor current receipts

WEATHER CONDITIONS.

The storm conferred over the middle
Mississippi Valley Thursday morning
has moved nOrtheastward to the Grent
Lakes region. having been accompanied
by snow ilurries over those sections, the
Ohio Valley and Tennessee. 1t has
caused somewhat higher temperatures
from the western Lakes southwark; but
temperatures are lower In the wake of
the storm over most of the nOrth-centra
States west of the Mississippi. Colder
weather also Is reported from the At
1antlc states following the movement of
the eastern storm which hos now passed
into the north Atlantic. The western
field of high barOmetric pressure has
caused u continuation of low temporal
lures over the Great Plateau. and In
Connectio with depression in middle
western Canada has given rise to
chinook conditions on the eastern slope
of the northern Rockies.

Jan. 10
The leading influence in the stock mar
ket, the one that gives the market its
stability and operators courage. Is the
continued ease in the money market. 1t
is perfectly logical that with money IN
ample supply at low rates, those operat-
ing on large scale can lind profit IN the
difference between the cost and the diyi-
dend yield of the securities. This, in the
past, has always been an influence in the
same direction.
In addition to all this We have very
favorbale foreign adyices indicating a
disposition 10 modify the German repa,
ration terms and it is generally conceded
that anything that will tend TO prevent
international friction, will ultimately be
beneficial to all the world and partlcu-
larly to businss in this country.
In todays business there was a notice
able increase in the public demand. This
buving coming mainly in moderate guam
titles and fairly well distributed. This IS
an indicator Of u more confident feeling
through the country with regard to the
Immediate business outlook 1t is, how
ever, well TO bear in mind that in many
large sections of the country business IS
entirely dependent uron the prosperity Oh
the agricultural interests.
This is particularly true of the great
Northwest and until you have a change
in the farmers condition it is hardly like
" that any big business improvements
may be expected. And while we have no
doubt as to the ultimate return of pros
perity we continue to feel that tempo
rarilv 1t is more advisable to accept rrof-
its on at least a part Of your holding dur
ing strong market days
