Most of the new export business in
North American wheat was Canadian,
but besides Durum, part was domes-
tic red winter. Hard winter wheat at
the Gulf of Mexico however, was
quoted as easier, with little demand.
Preceding the market effect of the ex-
port buying, wheat was chiefly under
the influencetof an official report that
wheat production in Argentina showed
900, 900 bushels increase over the lat
est previous government estimate. Ac-
cordirg to the new official figures,
the Argentine exportable surplus is
144,OO0,OOO bushels against 117,00O,OOO
bushels last year.
Late upturns in price accompanied
active commission house demand for
future deliveries here, a demand APP
parently having it's source northwest
especially Winnipeg. This was largely
due to closing up of spread trades be-
tween Chicago and the northwest and
was in the face of estimates that so,
600, 900 bushels of new Argentine wheat
has already been sold ahead for ex-
port this season. Wheat shipments
from Argentina this week were o.
100000 bushels, nearly one million
bushels in excess of the previous week
and compared with 100000 bushels a
year back.
Corn failed to rally we'll with wheat
Sales of corn to arrive from the conn-
try were larger. Oats followed wheat
rather than corn.
Provisions were responsive to the
late firmness of grain.

NEW YORK, Jan. 20.-P-Backing
teerized todays stock market which
failed to make any headway in either
direction. 4 Professionals continued to
dominate trading, bidding the stocks
up to new high records while others
were being depressed to new lows
The days sales showed a further con-
traction in volume, due to the con-
tinued absence of extensive outside
participation. The general uncertainty
as to the course of spring business has
been blamed for the recent Irregular
ity. The recommendation of promi-
nent real estate mortgage banker that
building of office structures, apart
ments and hotels be suspended for six
months was used as a preteXt for SELL
ing by bear traders tending to offset
the favorable effect produced by the
increase in carloadings during the first
week in January.
Failure of the directors of U. S. Cast
Iron Pipe company to authorize a
split-up of the capital stock and the
declaration of extras of only S. in
cash and 10 per cent in stock on the
Liggett & Meyers issues also caused
speculative disappointment which was
reflected in the heaviness Of those
stocks.
The ordinarily bullish effect of a
lower renewal rate for call money was
offset to some extent by the mainte-
nance of the per cent rediscount
rate by the Bank of England, there
ho+ =
reduction of the British rate would
precede a cut in the rediscount charge
by the New York federal reserve bank.
After the close of the market the New
York rate was announced !. as un-
changed at per cent.
AS in most recent sessions, the gem
eral trend Of the industrials was
downward and that of the rails up
ward, with numerous exceptions i'm
each group. Establishment of new
peak prices for a year or longer by
such issues as Pennsylvania Railroad,
r. H. Macy, "Katy" preferred, Timken
Roller Bearing, Baltimore & Ohio, Chi
cago & Northwestern preferred, Mid
Continent Petroleum, Pressed Steel
Car, Collins & Aikman and Public
Service of New Jersey were offset by
the establishment of new lows in Nc
Crory Stores "B", Penn Dixie Cement,
American Bosch Magnetic and Electric
Refrigeration.
Y Weakness of Foundation Company
was in anticipation of a general re-
cession in building activity. Strength
of Timken Roller Bearing was attrib
uted to expectation of increased prof
its through railroad orders. Mont
gomery-W Ward was under pressure on
disappointing 1926 earning estimates.
Oils were again active, but with the
exception of Colorado Fuel, which
closed two points higher at 40, they
made little headway. Sinclair opened
with block of 10000 shares at 22B,
but closed slightly below that figure
for a small net gain on the day.
Call money renewed at 4A per cent
and then dropped to 4. Time money
and commercial paper rates were un-
changed
Commodity prices were mixed Wheat
futures recovered the ground lost yes
terday, but cotton showed little change
on the day. Raw sugar advanced one
sixteenth of cent pound, and cof-
fee prices rallied slightly
Foreign exchanges moved within
rather narrow and irregular limits.
Demand sterling and French francs
held fairly steady arouna $4.S5 and
397 cents, respectively.

will become the center of q
new fight in future Con.
crosses, it appeared today.
Friends Of Doheny are ex.
pected to present a demand to
Congress for repayment Of
$4,000, 900 which Doheny i
companies spent on oil storage
tanks at the Pearl Harbor,
Hawaii, naval base, and for oil
actually furnished the Navy.
Question for Congress
The Supreme Court, in its
sweeping decision setting aside the
Doheny leases to the Elk Hills
naval oil reserve on the ground
of fraud and illegality, held that
the question Of reimbursement was
solely one for Congress to decide.
Huge Losses Faced
The courts accounting showed
that Doheny's companies claimed
s11.7s6,92s.12 from the Government,
not including recent interest
charges.
OF this more than $1,000, 900 was
