GRAIN MARKET

CHICAGO, January 10 (P).-Grains
scored fresh upturns today after hesi-
tant start. Persistent scantiness Of
corn together with dearth of moisture
in domestic Winter wheat territory,
stimulated buyers Chairman Legge Of
the Federal Farm Board was quoted as
saying the Grain Sterilization Corpora
ton had taken so much wheat there
was not much left to purchase.
Opening unchanged to u cent on,
corn later showed general advance.
Wheat started at Il cent decline to Il
cent advance and subsequently rose all
around
Scarcely any corn was offered for
rural shipment to Chicago, and hold
ers at interior points were reported as
having received bids cents a falshel
higher than obtainable here. Zero
weather prevailing over parts of the
corn belt was regarded as likely to IN
crease feeding demand. Primary ar
rivals, $4,000 bushels, although some-
what larger than a week ago, con-
trasted with 1,054,000 a year back.
Chicago arrivals amounted to only 81
cars.
Upturns in wheat were partly IN
sympathy with Liverpool and Winnipeg
advances. However, average daily sales
Of wheat futures at Liverpool were only
$4,000 bushels and at Winnipeg only
100000, compared with Il 900, 900
bushels in Chicago A sharp advance
at Minneapolis was also q bullish
factor. Oats followed corn
Provisions reflected the course OF hog
values.

CORN HAS SUPPLANTED WHEAT
AS LEADER IN CHICAGO PIT

the wheat pit, however, is the attempt
of Government-sponsor agencies to
prevent wheat prices declining below
certain minimum levels. Wheat trading
has fallen below that of corn. No wheat
of the various 1880 crop options is Of
fered below fixed levels, for the Govern
ment's agencies would buy, and none is
bid for at higher prices because they
would sell some of the l00,000000 BUSH
els they hold
Since these levels are artifcially set
at from ID to Is cents bushels above
prices prevailing in other market CEN
ters for the same delivery, private wheat
traders are afraid to purchase. Conse-
quently the Federal traders are doing
practically all the trading In 1880 wheat.
Corn Sales Mount.
With trading limited to the July OPP
ton of 1881 wheat, traders drifted to
the corn pit. The greater number of
men crowded on the steps of the smaller
pit attracted the attention of Board of
Trade officials. They also saw the al
most abandoned wheat pit. Sales of
corn doubled those of wheat
The amount of trading in wheat fu-
ture deliveries is only trickle of the
once vast stream. The number of bushels
sold during the week ended yesterday
was 68,94l 900, while in the correspond
ing week last year 25l 10000 bushels
we're sold. The amount of corn sold
last week was 131, $4,000 bushels, as
compared with 33,l61 900 bushels year
ago

~ VIC AcoOSlabcu 1Icoos
CHICAGO, January 13.-The grain
world witnessed the coronation of a new
cereal king yesterday in its mightiest ex-
change, the Chicago Board of Trade
BY decree of the directors, native
American corn was elevated at the open
ing gong to the throne occupied for %
years by wheat the main cereal food of
man from time immemorial.
The remnant of a once mighty group
Of wheat traders transacted their last
deal, for the present at least, in the
big wheat pit Saturday andA moved
across the floor of the vast trading room
to the smaller pit built for brokers who
deal In corn. The corn traders took
over the wheat pit in the center.
New Uses for Corn.
The dethroning of wheat as the leader
on the Board of Trade creates an
anomalous situation. Wheat continues
to be the headliner in all the other
major grain exchanges of the world.
But Chicago has substituted corn
once used principally as food for cattle
and hogs. After distilling was barred
the cereal was put to much wider uses
and it has grown rapidly beyond the
johnny-cake stage. Much corn oil is
extracted for salads and cooking Huge
quantities go into breakfast foods. Be-
cause of the removal of the govern
mental restriction on the use of I'M
labeled corn sugar a large supply is
expected to go into the corn sugar
plants.

IRREGULAR
IN CURB TRADING
Pressure Continues. on Oil
and Pipe Line Securities.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
rY JOHN A. CRONE.

NEW YORK, January 13.-Pressure
on the main list of curb exchange
shares lightened after the first hour
today, but petroleum, pipe line and in
ternational securities slipped steadily.
Power and light issues, if interna-
tional shares be excepted, we're fairly
arm. Electric Bond & Share at mid
DAY showed a net loss of only "a point
United Light g. Power A was up about
a half point. Cities Service was off
slightly.
The heaviness of international shares
In London was mirrored here at the
opening. Brazilian Traction g. Light,
International Superpower, international
Utility B. Ford Motor, Ltd, 1nterna-
tional Petroleum, Imperial Oil, British
American Tobacco, British Celanese and
General Electric, Ltd, were all lower in
initial dealings.
Specific corporate developments al
fected the power and light division.
American Superpower rose slightly as
a result of estimated 1880 earnings of 80
cents share. A review of the growth
of United Light & Power Co. from an
$500 600 to a S96 100000 company in
the last 20 years benefited the A shares
of that firm for time.
American Commonwealth Power Cor
poration was up trif1e following the
announcement that the company had
acquired from International Utilities
Corporation all of its gas and electric
properties in Alberta, Saskatchewan
and British Columbia. The newly &C
ouired properties will be known as Do
nlinion Gas e. Electric Co.
Appalachian Gas eased as subSl-
larry announced that it had commenced
laying another pipe line in Texas:
United Gas Corporation was only mod
erately active in the forenoon. Niagara
Hudson Power Corporation advanced
slightly in early trading as result OF
the recommendation of the st. Law
renee Development Commission favor
ing sale of electrical energy to private
concerns.
A possible price war in the California
oil fields, with probably immediate re-
visions downward of quotations in Texas,
the Midcontinent field and locally,
created a cautious attitude on the part
of investors and brought short selling
into the division. Humble Oil opened
of 2Iz points. Standard OH Of Ohio
common fell points. Standard Oil OF
Kentucky reacted Is and Vacuum in the
same period was down nearly point.

BLTUMIN0US TRADING
Is QUIET IN DECEMBER
Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, january 13.-Quietness
marked the demand for domestic lump
in the bituminous markets of the coun-
try in December This condition re-
suited in numerous curtailments in
production, with the result that inter-
mediate sizes-egg and nut in particu-
lar-moved into much stronger posi-
ton than they have occupied in recent
months, Coal Age reports. Reduction
in output also decreased the available
supply of slack and screenings to a
point where it failed to come up to the
demand. Consequently, price increases
on these sizes were reported in a
large majority of the consuming centers
December production of bituminous
coal Is estimated at 39.716,0O0 net tons,
November output, and a decrease of
100000 tons from the total in De-
cember, 1929. Anthracite production is
estimated at 6,150,000 net tons for De-
cember, which compares with 5,207 900
tons in November and 7,377,000 tons in
December, 1929.
Shippers of the country, through
estimates submitted to regional advisory
boards, anticipate decrease of 3.8 per
cent in the shipments of coal and coke
in the first quarter of 1881, as compared
with the total in the same period last
year. Total carloadings of coal and
coke for the first quarter are expected
to be 2,379,632, against the 1880 figure
of 2,473,227.
The Coal Age Index of spot bitumi-
nous prices preliminary for Deem
Der settled at 14614, as compared with
lat in November. Corresponding
weighted average prices were $177A in
December, against $178 in November.
In spite of cold weather, the country's
anthracite markets went through a
quiet month in December. Demand for
stove and egg was light. Chestnut, on
the other hand, had good month. Pea
coal moved into position as the ranking
size and the supply was never sufficient
to cover the demand Buckwheat led
the steam coal list, though it was not
as tight as in past months.

The protesting lines cited their gross

have been necessary to yield the same

Such an increase was termed impossi-
