FINAL RALLY CLOSES
WHEAT UP A LITTLE;
CORN is IRREGULAR
Market Opens Heavy But
Prices Are I-8 Cent
Higher at End.
By GEORGE SCHNACKEL

1898, by The San Antonio Light.
Chicago. Jan. 26.-Wheat rallied in
the last hour today, the market re-
flecting the heavy INSCRIPTIONS of May
at $11G.. Last prices were is cent
to Il cent lower. Corn rallied with
wheat and closed is cent higher. Oats
we're unchanged TO Is cent lower. Lard
closed ) to 1 IL cents lower and ribs
unchanged to IL IL cents lower.
Wheat was heavy most of the session
but the outstanding feature today was
the buying of May on TestinG orders
at SIG. Pressure early appeared 70
be coming from longs who evidently
were discouraged over the action of the
market late Thursday and also b. the
weaker foreign exchange rates. A news
paper story crediting Secretary Of
Commerce Hoover with the statement
that the German situation was causing
wheat to pile up on this side OF the
ocean caused pressure early. Later
heavy exports from our competitors
caused bearish sentiment to expand. Ar
gentine shipped 2.993,000 bushels and
India over 100000 bushels this week.
Bradstreet report North American
cIearances at about 100000 bushels
and this promises worlds shipment OF
nearly 100000 bushels. Reports of
heavy snowfall in western Nebraska
induced pressure on new months about
midday. Cash wheat premiums I'M
changed. Export demand is light. Mill
ing demand also is moderate. Receipts
are falling off and primary arrivals fell
below a million bushels for the first
time in over four months.
Corn was affected by the trend in
wheat. There was some liquidation at
the start. the break in Buenos Aires
Thursday believing the seriousness of the
crop situation because Of dray weather.
Receipts were largear and this also
calsed some pressure. After a moderate
setback there was buying on resting
orders. Cash demand was slow, both for
domestic and export account.

Mr.. Fairbanks made the declaration.

He made public several weeks ago his
plans for grouping the leading actors
and actresses of the screen in a COM
bination designed to assure them free
hand in making and distributing their

The group includes himself, his wife,
Mary Pickford, Charlie Chaplin, Pola

engaged, and Harold Lloyd. 1t plans
TO deal with no huge cinema corpora

Copyright 1928 by The San Antonio Light
New York. Jan. 26.-Aside from the
cables with reference to the situation in
the Ruhr the overnight news was most
" of a favorable nature and had a
stimulating effect upon Industrial shares
in today's trading on the curb exchange.
New buying came into the market for
the more prominent members of this
group, and the buying movement gra-
dually spread to other sections Of the
list.
The statement that w. c. Durant was
willing to offer $500 a share for out
standing stock of Fisherbody stock
brought about higher prices on the
stock exchange and the Durants traded
in on the curb market moved upward in
sympathy. although dominent interests
in Fisherbody have no intention OF re-
leasing control.

HOG PRICES CONTINUE
TODROP WHILECATTLE
HOLDS ABOUT STEADY
Prices Are Lower Despite
Comparatively Light
Runs.
RuL G. GRuNDELANn.

Copyright 1928, by The San Antonio Light
Chicago, Jan. 26.-Sellers have
fought the cut in values in all branches
of the livestock trade during the present
week. Plain and medium steers We're
hit hard during the last few days
while even the best lots were slow.
This notwithstanding the fact that the
weeks supply was comparatively light.
Mild weather and big runs of hogs
broke values here, while sheep and
lambs also failed to hold without a
decline.
Receipts today $500 cattle: $1,000
hogs; 5000 sheep: 1000 calves.
Few choice steers were on sale.
Trading was called generally steady in
the steer alleys, but there was some
strength in demand for good COWS and
heifers. Bulk of steers sold at $S.2J
10 1913 with few lots up 10 $40.
Some good cows were called 10 to Is
cents higher compared with the day
before, but it was even trade for all
grades. Calves were about steady. Can
ners and bulls showed no change in
quotations, but here also it was a
Friday market" After some days of
weakness in demand for hogs. sellers
were able to make better values for
choice light stock today. Most Of the
nearly $4,000 stale hogs consisted of
heavy animals. and this helped the
market for light stock, while it cut
demand for fresh heavy animals. Some
choice light lots went over at SS.25 to
$3.50 with bulk of butchers at S7.S5
to $500. Plain packing stock sold at
SG.7j 20 800.
Lambs weighing GO pounds sold at
S1j.25 today. Some sellers called them
shearcrs. but they were really feeders.
and they will be taken out and fed
after the wool is off. The general
market for killing stock was slow and
steady with good lots going at S14.50
to S1I.7j. Few aged muttons sold at
unchanged price levels.

BETTER THAN LAST YEAR
Reports Show More Basis for Business
Confidence.

Kansas City, Jan. ga survey COW
ering the first three weeks of 1922,
just completed here shows a much
stronger basis for business prosperity
than existed gear ago.
Prices for livestock, grain and other
products average considerably higher
than they did at the opening of 1922.
Retail trade is more than holding its
own and January sales attained larger
volume than was the case year ago.
Merchants, however, fear a recurrence
of the tendency TO delay purchases which
was in evidence last fall and are buy
ing spring goods cautiously in conse-
quence.
Demand for foodstuffs is not brisk.
This is attributed in part to unseason-
ably warm weather.
