Lower Rates Are of Benefit to
Wheat Market.
PRICE UNDERTONE STRONG
Sharp Advance at Liverpool and
Cargoes Q noted Higher Local
Grain Holders Are Not Sell
ers at Current Values.
The weakness of ocean freights, together
with the advance in English wheat mar
kets, has created a ery strong condition
In the wheat market here and caused sellers
to withdraw.
At the Merchants Exchange yesterday
the prices asked Tor wheat were more than
bayers would pay. sad as a result no sales
w or posted.
Word received from San. Francisco that
a steamer had been taken at 42s Ad was the
most Important development of the day.
The last previous charters there were at
4Ss and 46s 3d, with moat owners ask
ing 60s.
' The strength of the markets abroad was
pronounced. Cargoes on passage were Quoted
strong and 6d to 9d higher. At Liverpool
speculative options were 2d higher than
on Saturday. This foreign buldge. however,
was not reflected at Chicago, the big In
crease In the visible supply statement acting
as an offset.
There was a flurry In the San Francisco
barley market due to the December report
of stocks on hand. Issued during the day,
showing supplies to be less than expected.
On the local exchange bids for brewing
barley were 50 cents higher. The oats

STEADY TURKEY MARKET EXPECTED
Sufficient Supply for Christmas Trade Is
Believed to Be in Sight.
Poultry dealers look for a steady Christ
mas turkey market. A sufficient supply Is
believed to be available, and the demand
will be about what It was at Thanksgiving.
A local dealer said:
"We are receiving a good many In
quiries as to what wo think the price and
demand will be for dressed poultry for
the Christmas trade. In our opinion values
and demand will be about the same as
obtained for the Thanksgiving market. It
seems to us that there are still lots of
turkeys In the country, and there will cer
tainly be a pretty good demand. Eest
3 recused turkeys should, we think, sell for
about 21 cents, best dressed geese at 15 and
16 cents and ducks at 16 and IT cents.
There will also, at that time,' be a pretty
good demand for fine-dressed hens and
1-irge springs."
Shippers are advised to get their hol
iday poultry to market on the 10th, 20th
or 21st.
Poultry receipts on the street yesterday
were light and prices generally were firm.
Live bens were quoted at 12 and 13 cents
and springs at 13 aud 12 cents. Xressed
meats were also firm.

Import duty is 1.2 cents per pound.
"The service to bo inaugurated by the
Swedish-South American (Johnson) line to
the Pacilic Coast of the United States by
way of the Panama Canal should facilitate

INVESTORS BUY HEAVILY
OPERATIONS VS SECURITIES OJJ A
FEBMASEKT BASIS.
Solid Character of Purchasers, While
Speculative Trading la Rele
srated to Second Place.
Commenting on the class of investors who
have been buying slocks In Wall street re
cently and whose operations, even during
the closed period of the exchange, amounted
tn the aggregate to an Immense sum, the
New York Evening Post's financial writer
says;
"But never before In the history of Wall
street, as it is now constituted, was1 the
proposition of Investment buiness tran
sacted higher than at the present time
There Is a flow of capital Into Investments
that is of surprising depth and breadth,
that Is deepening and widening as it floors.
True, some buyiaf ia Eyvcuta.1 t. The ele-
ment of Wall street and of the country that
always 'carried a line of stocks' when the
exchange was Is full blast have not been
far from the front of those making pur
Chases at the currently low levels.
"Most Impressive by far, though, has been
the Inquiry from investors. A financial
house whfeb canvassed the situation has
figured that approximately $750,000,000
worth of securities have been withdrawn
from the market since the New York Stock
Exchange closed. Part of this amount rep
resented stocks which had been carried on
margin, part represented outright invest
ment. What the amount of saving tn the
United States has been In the past four
months, of capital available for investment
and yet prevented from going Into securities,
is a matter which anybody Is permitted
to guess. That the amount is enormous
goes without saying. Figures compiled by
the Treasury Department at Washington
from the Income tax returns filed during
the fiscal year 1914 showed that there are
44 people In the United States whose in
comes exceed $1,000,000 yearly. Each of
these people, since the Stock Exchange
closed, must then have received incomes
In excess of $333,000. In the spirit of econ
omy that went abroad after the war broke
out, and that was first displayed among the
rich, a much larger part of these great in
comes must have been saved for investment
than before.
Income tax returns show that there are
91 people of this country with annual In
comes ranging from $50 0,000. There are
1466 people with annual incomes ranging
from $100,000 to $500,000, and there are
S55.9S7 people whose annual incomes range
from $3500 to S100.OO0. Of all these people
mere are xew inaeea wno have been so im
provident as to increase their living ex
penses since last Summer, and even in cases
where incomes have been reduced because
of dividend cute or salary changes, there
probably has been something- saved for the
luiuro.
-This saving will eventually be made avail
able for investment. In one form or another.
Stock Exchange men agree that the amount
of odd-lot interest In oecurities Is now rel
atively greater than In anv orevlou nrlort
of Wall street history. The significance of
mis statement is perhaps not so striking
it sounds, for the reason of the restric
tions placed against speculation on a large
scaie. $ut it signifies what the man whose
annual income is only a few thousand dol
lars is doing. And its Importance would
certainly impress one were he given the op
portunity, some day next week, to observe
the clerks of the Stock Exchange claarinfl--
house as they work, matching the great
nuin oer or oroers tor small blocks of rail
road and Industrial StodkH which nnnr In nn
brokerage bouses each day. and which have,
under the rules, to be sent to the clearlng-
auuae xor execution.
WHEAT RISE CHECKED
BIC INCREASE 1ST VISIBLE WEIGHT
ON CHICAGO MARKET.
Enlargement of Domestic Snpply More
Than Offset Bullishness of
Day's Cables.
CHICAGO, Dee. 14. Unexpected enlarge
ment of the -United States visible eupply
total acted as more than an offset in wheat
today to an advance, due mainly to bullish
cables. The market closed steady but Ho
to iic under Saturday night. Other
cereals, too, showed net declines, corn
HiPo to c, and oats a shade to j c.
Provisions gained $ cents to 10 cents.
What chiefly UDset the accuravv of nre-
dlctlons In regard to tho visible supply of
wheat was the fact that the report of stocks
afloat at Buffalo exhibited an tncreaee of
10,485.000 bushels, whereas the aggregate
on the whole chain of lakes last week was
only 7,165,000 bushels, with none at Buf
falo. Rumors that the Kaiser wonld have to
undergo a surgical operation tended further
to weaken the market. As a result prices
crumbled rapidly In the last hour, and
there was no sign of, any Important rally.
At Liverpool supplies were said to be In
sufficient to meet requirements.. Advices
were at hand that there had been recent
unreported breadsturr shipment to the
British government from Montreal equal to
3,875,000 bushels. It was asserted in addi
tion that North American exports to Italy
last week aggregated as much as 3,031,000
buehels.
Corn, like wheat, was affected by an In
crease of the visible supply. At first, how
ever, the tendency of prices was upward
in spite of weakness of other grain, and be
cause of the lightness of country offerings
in contrast with Improved shipping demand,
partly the result of zero weather emphasis
ing the call from feeders.
Oats were swayed by the action of wheat
and corn.
Large receipts of hogs failed to have much
effect on the provision market.

COLD ENDANGERS SOWING

tected ly Snow Blanket.
DAVENPORT, Wash., Dec. 14 Con
tinuous freezing; weather without snow
has jeopardized the Fall sowing; of
wheat in a large area of Northern Lin
coln County, with probably more than
a million bushels. Although the crop
is not given up as lost, six inches of
frost in the wheat belt ,for IS miles
around Davenport undoubtedly has cut
the next yield.
Twenty miles south of here, where
the - weather averages nearly 10 de
grees warmer, the crop is in a fine
condition, while in the Wilbur and Al
mira belts a covering of six inches of
snow has placed the crop in good cir
cumstances. Wheat is quoted here at
$1.06 with small sales. Probably 25 per
cent of the crop is still in the hands
of the producer.

OLD LIST RESTORED
Stock Market Will Open for
Trade in All Securities.
NO FEAR OF LIQUIDATION
Beginning Today, Wall-Steet Ex
change Will Be on Practically
Same Footing as Before War.
Values Tend ITpward.
NEW YORK. Dec. 14. The unqualified
success today of the first full session of
open stock dealings cassed the authorities
of the exchange to decide to restore all
shares to the list tomorrow.
The action of the exchange was taken as
an indication that all fear of foreign liqui
dation was at an end. It removed virtually
all the restrictions which have been In force
since July so, except those which apply
to cash dealings and sales under minimum
prices. These will be continued as necessary
safeguards against concerted or professional
selling.
From start to finish, except for occa
sional wavering moments, today's move
ment of prices was upward, with special
activity In the metal or copper group, and
some of the higher priced railways, includ
ing Reading, Lehigh and Northern Pacific
Long before it became known that the
ban was to be lifted from the International
list those shares moved np S or 4 points over
Saturday. The day's business amounted to
226,000 shares, which compared favorably
with the average for this period of the
year.
German exchange was again heavy, marks
falling to 89 , as against 93 the middle of
last week. Bills on London were a fraction
lower.
Total bond sales, with a strong market In
speculative issues, amounted to $2,627,000.

FAMOUS BOND SUIT ENDS
KANSAS StTPREME COURT DECIDES
AGAINST ATCHISON.
City Mast Pay Expenses of Bondholders
Wno Brought Action on
Defaulted Bonds.
News was received yesterday by the Lum
bermen's Trust Company that the Supreme
Court of Kansas had decided the City of
Atchison must pay the legal expenses In
curred by the Columbia Trust Company In
bringing a suit against that city to enforce
payment of defaulted bonds of the city.
The stir that was made in bond circles
when the suit was commenced is well re
membered. On July 1, 1913. S267.000 of the City of
Atchison 4 per cent bonds became due, and
under the laws of Kansas the city had no
authority to refund these bonds at a higher
rate of interest. Owing to the market con
ditions, the city wv unable to aell new 4
per cent bonds, and consequently was unable
to pay its maturing obligations. The law
under which the original bonds were Issued
required that s sinking fund be levied dur
ing the past 20 years sufficient to retire
the bonds at maturity. The city officials,
however, had neglected to levy this sink
ing fund. Some of the bondholders, repre
sented by the Columbia Trust Company,
brought suit and a decision was handed
down In 23 days restraining the city of
ficials from completing the tax levy unless
a tax was Included for payment of the
