No change was made In butter prices
yesterday, but the demand for cubes was
light and the market was weak. It is
probable that print quotations will be re

"The demand for wool of all grades
keeps up with unusual animation for the
closing week of the year when trade is
normally slow, not a little wool having
been purchased In bond, especially wools
of fine grade and good staple, which some
of the mills need apparently to piece out
current orders. Prices generally show an
advance for the week of 1 to 2 cents a
pound In the grease and sometimes even
a iltrle more.
"The wool Industrv Is hoping for early
prusage of the permanent tariff hill m
order that a basis upon which to opernte
it. the new clip may be ascertained. The
manufacturers are not consuming so much
as they were, but still are using consid

Spec-laities Are Sold Lower to Meet
Income Tax Retuvns Bond
Market Is Active.
NEW YORK, Dec. 80. The stock ex
change's final full session of the year was
marked by conflicting and erratic fluctua
tions Heavy caBh sales to meet income
tax returns occurred In many of the low
priced Issues, but representative rails and
favorite industrials were comparatively
strong, though aull In contrast with the
activity shown by speculative issues.
Opinions from authoritative sources deal
ing with general conditions In the coming
year sounded a note of optimism, espe
cially In relation to commercial and in
dustrial prospects.
These w-ere borne out by overnight de
velopments, such as the strengthening of
the financial position of the Pears-Roebuck
company, further favorable November
railroad earnings and advices from Mon
tana indicating early resumption of oper
ations in the copper mines.
Money rates stiffened In consequence of
unexpectedly large renewals into 1922.
Opening at 3 per cent, call loans rose to
5 at noon, with a further advance to 6
per cent in the last hour.
Sears-Roebuck was the most prominent
feature of the day. although its extreme
advance of slightly more than 7 points
was reduced to 4 at the close. Stude
baker. Railway Steel Springs. American
Ice, Wooiworth and sugars were among
the other stocks to show substantial net
gains. Sales amounted to 775.000 shares.
Trading in foreign exchange was larger
than at any recent period and the strong
tone suggested a more encouraging view of
European economic conditions. Sterling
bills were at the week's highest level and
ail allied quotations were firm, the Italian
rate making full recovery. Dutch and
Scandinavian quotations were 10 to 20
points higher.
The bond market was active as a whole,
but an Irregular movement marked the
foreign division. Vctory 4is featured the
domestic list, in odd lots, selling at $100 20.
the year's maximum quotation. Total
eaiea, par value, aggregated $17,3.10.000.

WHEAT IS FORCED LOWER
HEAVY SKLLIXG AT CHICAGO
CAKUIES MARKET DOWN".
Bearish Government Acreage Ke
port and Suspension of Hull
Firm Are Factors.
CHICAGO. Dec. 30. Fre sHlirr, due to
the government report on winter wheat
and to liquidation on the part of a house
in financial difficulties, led to material
setbacks today In the value of rain.
Wheat closed unsettled, 2c to 7c net
lower, with May $1.13 to $1.15 and July
1.03"i to $1.04. Corn lost lc to lWc
net and oats c to 14c. In provisions
the outcome varied from 13c decline to
2VaC advance.
Bearish sentiment regarding- the rovern
ment report was based on contentions that
the vie.ld Indicated for winter wheat would
be 50,000., KM) to 70,000,000 bushels more
than as a rule had been looked for. Kljr
ureea purporting; to show that the lI'-2
harvest would nevertheless be 67.000.000
bushels less than last year's total failed to
check the downward swing of ihe market.
Support for values was poor, and with
ltnuldattnjr sales in progress the lowest
level of the day was reached shortly be
fore announcement was made that a large
firm on the hull side had suspended. Ces
sation of selling pressure followed, and in
the brief lnteral until the close a mod
erate rally took place. Primary receipts
today were less than half as much as the
amount a year aeo.
Corn and oats were lower In sympathy
with wheat and on account of hftlglng
and liquidating sales. Shorts, however,
were covering at the last.
Provisions reflected the weakness of
hogs and grain.
The Chicago grain letter received yes
terday by the Overbeck A Cooke company
of Portland follows:
Wheat A spurt of strength early In the
session was followed by general liquida
tion, which carried prices to a discount of
about A cents under the previous close.
The late rally was due to buying by
shorts. A disturbing Item of news was
the report that Argentina was underselling
the I'nlted States on wheat to Europe,
with the result that much of the buying
which was expected to come here was go
ing to that country. The seaboard said a
fair amount of wheat was taken on the
bre.-k. but gave no detaiW and the sup
position Is that It was Ca had Ian wheat.
The government Indicated yield given out
this morning as 637.000.000 bushels was
considered far too iigh by the trade.
Primary receipts were only 402,000 bushels
or about per cent of lust yeqr, and cash
markets were quoted strong with the de
mand good. The report late in the ses
sion that a prominent commission house
was in trouble will very likely create a
feeling of uneasiness and probably have
the effect of lowering prices further.
Com Selling by cash houses, accom
panied bv clsims of increased courtry of
ferings, caused weakness early in the day
which was further augmented by liquida
tion of long contracts ns the market de
clined. The cash demand was good and
although prices were 1 to 1H cents lower,
the trading basis was comparatively strong.
The sea hoard reported 100 OOO bushets
worked for export and said further busi
ness was under way. We consider this
mnrket In a strong position but tempor
arily a response might be prevented by the
feeling of oneertnlntv now prevalent.
Oats tracked independent feature and
'allowed the general trend of other grains.
The trade was not larre. but buving power
was Insuf 'Irient to absorb scattered sell
!nr. The shipping demand was the smal'-
est for some time with Mies of 350.O00
bushels reported, all domestic. Cash prices
were lower, but the trading basts a shade
firmer. Some Ineresse was reported In
country offerinrs, due to the reduced
freight rates going into effect the first
of the year.
Rye Futures were Inactive j.nd the mar
ket lower in sympathy with wheat. The
principal buving was by seaboard inter
ests, presumably against sales for export.
