GRAIN MARKET
(By Dispatch A. P. wire)


CHICAGO, Jan. 23.-Enlarged ship
ments from south of the equator to-
gether with halt in export business
from North America, brought specu-
lative buying of wheat nearly to a
standstill here today. AS a. result,
wheat prices gave way 2A cents a
bushel, but subsequently rallied
Closing quotations on wheat were un-
settled Ias to ,M cent net lower, May
(new) 1.7Ol% to 1.70% and July l.4S
to. 148H. Corn finished rs to cent
off, .oats a shade to u cent down.
and provisions unchanged to de-
cline of 12 cents.
At first the wheat market here
displayed notable steadiness, and
trading was of a weekend sort,
chiefly to adjust open accounts
Gradually, however, liquidating sales
on the part of holders developed, and
with buyers scarce and some increase
looked for in the amount of wheat
on ocean passage a. sudden drop IN
values took place, May going below
1.7O At this juncture, though, indl-
cations pointed to a qulckenlng o.
mill demand for immediate delivery
wheat, especially in st. Louis ana
something of an upward swing OF
the market here followed.
Premiums of 201z cents a busnel
the highest yet this season, were re-
ported to have been paid at ST. Louis
for No. red wheat to be delivered
at once. These premiums were based
on the current price Of May delivery
In addition to the firmness thus
shown, likelihood of a fair decrease
in the United states visible supply
total on Monday helped to .otfse'
more or less the price declines when
had been witnessed early in the day
Late messages from the seaboard salo
foreigners were asking for offers OF
wheat, but no sales were reported.
Corn and oats showed stubborn re.
sistance to selling pressure, ana helc
within narrow limits.
Profit taking sales eased down the
provision market after an advance
due to higher quotations on hogs.

WEEKLY FINANCIAL
(Rr nisnaicn A. ?. Mlrel

NEW YORK, Jan. 23.-Wall Street
gave it's major attention this week
to developments outside the securi.
ties and commodities markets. Oh
prime Importance at least from !
market standpoint was the decision
of the federal reserve bank and New
York stock exchange authorities tc
give publicity to the amount of brok-
ers loans. While the first reaction
of the market to this news was un-
favorable on the theory that it was
warning gesture against excessive
speculation, bankers and brokers gem
orally regarded it as a constructive
influence. NN& A
Considerable interest also was
manifested in the announcement OF
proposed merger of the st. Louis
San Francisco and Chicago, Rock Is
land and Pacific railroads, the pre-
liminary step in which the purchase
of a large block of Rock Island stock
by the Frisco system. This was gen
orally regarded as an offensive move
to enable the Frisco to compete sue
cessfully with the Missouri Pacific
and L. F.. Loree's new southwestern
system, which will include the Kan
sas City southern, Katy and the St
Louis Southwestern.
Consolidation of the public utili-
ties properties also took great stridss
during the week. Final details OF
the merger of the Power corporation
of New York and the New England
Power Association throughout the
formation of the Northeastern Power
Corporation, was announced Wednes-
day. The Southeastern Power and
Light company also made public its
plan to acquire the Georgia Railway
and Power company, and the Empire
Power corporation announced it hao
obtained a majority stock interest in
the United Gas and Electric.
Price movements in the stock mar
ket largely reflected the play of op-
posing speculative forces, with neith-
er side obtaining a decided advan-
tage Uncertainty over the future
trend of stock prices resulted in a
widespread diversion of investment
funds into the bond market, which
displayed a fir1ner tone despite new
offerings Of over $1O0,000,OoO during
the week.
Lack of an export demand was one
of the contributing causes to the de.
cline in wheat prices. Cotton moved
within rather narrow and irregular
limits with speculative opinion sharp
~ divided as to the future trend OF
the commodity.
Money rates were easier, presum-
ably in reflection of the recent dras-
tic reductions in broker loans.
Profit taking halted the march OF
the British and Japanese currencies
toward gold parity, although yer
reached the highest level in three
years.

Buoyancy of the high priced indus
trials, several of which advanced two
to nearly five points, and the heavi-
ness of the common stocks of the
I;ocK Island and Frisco railroads,
following the announcement of a plan
to merge those two properties were
the contrasting features of today s
stock market. Prices in general
pointed upward with trading in mod
crate volume, the days sales totaling-
734,7OO shares.
The sharp reduction in brokers

which undoubtedly was accelerated by
the decision of the federal reserve

the easing of time money rates. had
lment United States Steel common
was again heavily bought in the hope
that directors would adopt a more
liberal dividend policy at next Tues
days meeting.
The commodity markets were
mixed. Cotton rallied $1.5O to $500
a bale on short covering, following
publication of the governments gin
ming report, but lost most of the
gain on profit taking, closing quota
tions disclosing net gains of II to II
points Active wheat futures closed
less than a cent lower. The sugar
and coffee markets displayed a firm
undertone.
Among the so-called rich mems
industrials" to show substantial gains
on the day were American Can, Du-
pont, General Electric, Sears Roe,
buck, United States Cast Iron Pipe,
westinghouse Airbrake and Wool
worth.
Demand for the oil shares was
stimulated by rumors of new merg-
ers and expectations of an early in
crease in Mid Continent crude prices.
Atlantic Gulf and West Indies, Hous-
ton, Indian Refining, Marland, Skel-
ly Sun and Tidewatter, all closed
point or more higher. Merchandising
issues were in better demand as a
result of the optimistic tone of the
weekly mercantile reports.
Trading in the rails was restricted
by the heaviness of the latest mer-
ger stocks. Frisco common closed
1M lower at 80, after selling at 98R.
and Rock Island common showed a
net loss of liz at 55A, after fluctuat-
ing between So, the opening price,
