PRICES STEADY
AT GRAIN OPENING
Cereals Little Different From
Fridays Closing Rates.

BIZ United Press
CHICAGO, Dec. 27.-All grains
opened virtually unchanged from
Fridays closing prices on the Chi
cago Board of Trade today.
Wheat opened unchanged to %
cent higher than from Fridays
prices. Liverpool is closed today
and Buenos Aires was unchanged.
Gradually increasing deliveries con-
tinue as bearish factor, but huctu-
atoms in this pit are now largely
the result of local operations and
news seems to have little effect.
Corn opened 1s cent higher than
the previous close. Although favor
able weather conditions exist and de-
liveries Of the new crop are increas-
ing daily, this cereal continues to
maintain fairly steady tone.
Oats opened unchanged from Fri
days closing prices, with very little
trading in evidence. Little independ-
ent strength was manifest, as a ma
jority of the traders continue to get
their cue from others.
Provisions opened higher.

NEW YORK, Dec. 27.-The post
holiday market opened with fairly
large turnover and with the general
price structure higher than previous
closing levels. The Improvement in
prices was well distributed in vari-
Gus classes of stocks, rails joining
the general industrial and oil list
in price betterment.
Southern improved q to 1915 and
New York Central also was fraction
ally higher, while Atchison gained
1as to 171A. General Motors at
1872 was up 13s, while Dupont was
nearly a point higher. Steel COM
mon was fractionally higher, as was
Baldwin.
Trading slowed down in the Sec
ond hour, except for General Mo-
tors, in which the volume was large
with the price going through 100.
Other motors basked in the giant
strength of the groups leader and
achieved some firmness.
Steel was strong, selling around
100. Investment demand continues
undated and undoubtedly the stock
dividend will go a long way to in
crease the company's list of common
stockholders. Rails were firm and
quiet, buying was noted in seaboard
issues, and. of course, Atchison,
which is picked up actively when
ever it deigns to reach a point or so.

STOCK EXCHANGE
STILL CONTROLLED
BY HOLIDAY ERA
Difficult to Predict Price
Courses of Coming
Year.
BY T.. Walter MOckler

NEW YORK, Dec. 27.-Christmas
is past but the market is not out of
the holiday era as yet, but the COM
the busiest periods OF the entire
year. Most of this work will fall
upon the clerical stats as it includes
all of the year-end accounts. So far
as the stock list is concerned, trad
ing will probably be affected as much
as tight money conditions as any
thing else. After the turn of the
year, the course Of the money mar.
ket is rather uncertain, under ordi-
nary conditions one might expect
that funds would be much easier.
There will be n matter of at least
$1,000 100000 raid out in interest and
dividends the first of the year. not to
mention numerous maturities. This
money Will soon be back in the
banks and available for reinvestment.
However, there are quite a few we'll
posted bond and commercial money
men in the market who hold that
money will remain stiff for a few
weeks at the beginning Of 1927.
Prediction Hard
1t is rather hard to predict the
course of prices during the coming
year. Last week the market was de-
cidedly firm. Apparently the demand
for stocks is persistent and genuine,
and it would not be at all surprising
if this were continued through the
present week, or at least for the first
two or three days.
Among the features of the pre-
Christmas market, the motors stood
out prominently. After long siege
Of selling, this group has come into
its own again as market medium.
The present strength is due in large
part to the oversold positions noted
at the end of the selling period and
the fact that the coming autombile
show probably will be attended by
good support in the stock market of
panies.
Nothing Significant =.
Barring technical consideration,
the market has nothing especially
significant to consider during the
coming week. Important matters,
such as confirmation Of the Steel cor
poration dividend rates, the various
dividend announcements on rail
stocks such as Rock Island, Atchison
aand others, cannot be settled until
after the turn of the year.

SANTIAGO, Chile, Dec. 27.-Ap-
prehension regarding the United
States intentions, La Nacion said
editorially today. will be revived
among her neighbor republics by
the landing of American sailors at
Puerto CadeZas, seat of the Liberal

This landing at Puerto Cabezas,
said La Nacion, constitutes an act
of partially in favor of the Diaz

vention in the international affairs
Of Nicaragua instead of an act to
protect Americans there.

Foreign Offices

These new members of the Ma
tional City Bank organization will
make an important addition to its
list of foreign offices, which already
includes twenty-five on the Island
Of Cuba. seven in the Dominican re-
public and others in Argentina, Bel
GIN, Brazil, Chile, England, France,
Italy, Panama, Peru, Porto Rico,
Uruguay and Venezuela. Four thou.
sand correspondent banks will be
scattered throughout the world,
while closely allied to the bank is
the National City Company, with
more than fifty Offices in the prin-
cipal financial cehters of the United
States and Canada.
With the consolidation of it's wide
spread activities, the National City
Bank will provide banking service
for trade and industry the world
over, the scope Of which has been
unequaled in financial history. It's
activities will range from financing
the sugar crop of Cuba to supplying
funds for Siberian fur trappers.
These will be supplemented by one
of the most complete foreign ex-
change organizations of any Ameri-
can bank.
The International Banking Cor.
poration. whose activities are now
being taken over by the National City
Bank. was founded in 1901 to
specialize in foreign business. In adj
dition to it's capital stock of $1,000
900, owned entirely by the bank, it
has surplus and undivided profits Of
approximately s1OOOO,OOO more. Up
on purchasing the assets of the Asia
Banking Corporation, it became the
only American banking institution to
operate throughout the Orient and
the largest American bank to be en-
gagged in the foreign field.

First Place

Long holding first place among
American commercial banks, the
National City has at the same time
steadily expanded its foreign or
ganization to a position of equal i'm
portance in this field. It's first
foreign branch was opened at Buenos
Aires in 1914, and since that time
it has extended its operations into
nearly every phase of commercial
activity throughout the world.
The history OF the National City
Bank spans virtually the entire
financial history of the United
States. In effect. IL was the successor
of Alexander Hamilton's First Bank
of the United States. which passed
out of existence in 1911, leaving a
need for new and important bank
ing institution in New York City.
Two days before the United States
declared war on Great Britain, the
new bank was incorporated on June
Is, 1912. under the title THE Presi-
dent, directors and company of the
City Bank Of New York"

War of 1872

The first meeting of the board of
directors was held on June 10, 1912,
at Tammany Hall-then the favorite
meeting place for business organiza-
tions. Samuel Osgood was elected
the first president, receiving a salary
of $4,000 a year while the first secre-
tary of the bank received $500 more.
The authorized capital Of the bank
was 100000 in shares of $50 par
value but it began business with a
paid-in capital of 100000.
The first important activity Of the
bank was its assistance in financing
the War of 1912 when it took up
$1,200,00 of war loans. at that time
q tremendous undertaking.
Slowly building up its resources
and expanding its business, the Ma
tional City survived without difficulty
all the financial crises and money
panics of the United States until it
became firmly entrenched in it's place
at the head of the country's banks.
With the approval by stockholders
on Jan. IL of a proposed $25, 900
increase in stock, the bank will have
a capital of $75,000,000, surplus Of
S50,0O0,000 and undivided profits of
nearly $1S,000,000, a total which tops
the figures of Londons largest banks.
