AMERICAN CORN IN GREAT BRITAIN
Larger Movement From Argentina Ex
pected After Turn of Year.
Reviewing the corn and oats situation
In Great Britain, Broomhall cables:
"A good active demand at the maxi
mum price of 65s continues for Platte corn,
but transactions have been on a moderate
scale, as free sellers are not offering any
sizable quantities and government re
leasements have beeu practically negligi
ble. Trade in American mixed can be
considered fair, with 82s being paid for
December and January shipment. 80s for
January and February shipment. It Is
encouraging to note that stocks of corn
in the United States have Increased nearly
400.000 bushels compared with the pre
vious, month's figures. After the turn of
e year the supply of tonnage in Argen
tina is expected to show an improvement
and feeders are hoping this will be re
flected in the increased c. I. f. offerings
of Platte. There Is a fair increase in the
port stocks of oats in the United King
dom. This month's total being about
1.000,000 bushels larger than the month
previous.
SLUMP IN, EGGS CONTINUES.
Local Market Drops Teh Cents in Past
Few Days.
The weakness of the egg market has
developed into demoral:zation. With 60
cent buying cards out, jobbers offered
candled ranch at 65 cents and selects at
70 cents. Some dealers who had hlgher
jOrtced eggs on hand tried to get better
vaults, but without success. With the
ailing market retailers bought cautiously.
No outside outlet was reported. The day's
receipts were the largost since the storm
passed.
The butter market was firm, but there
was not much activity. Cube extras were
quoted at 65966 cents. Dealers fear much
poor butter made from frosted cream will
soon make Its appearance.
FKW TURKEYS RECEIVED OX STREET
Market Firm at .-, 52 Cents Large Sup
ply la Not Expected.
Only a few shipments of dressed tur
keys were received yesterday and most
of them were used to fill shipping orders
at 50052 cents. Dealers look for larger
arrivala today, but none of them expect
heavy supplies. The larger retailers nave
provided for their wants In southern Ore
gon and Idaho.
Because of the scarcity of turkeys live
poultry of alt kinds was in good demand
at strong prices. Farm-dressed meats were
steady.
Export Buying or Hops Ceases.
Trading In spot hops of the 1919 crop
and former growths has practically ceased.
Tile sole demand came from England, and
more hops are needed there, but with
sterling exchange demoralized business for I
xport account is out of the cuestion now.
There Is still Inquiry for contracts, and
tor three-year Merms an average of 40
cents is obtained.

SHORT SALES COVERED
STOCK MARKET IS FIRMER AT
CLOSE OF WEEK.
Advances Based on Brighter Pros
pects for Railway Legislation
and Rise in Exchange.
NEW YORK. Dec. 20. Brighter pros
pects for railroad legislation and -another
substantia rise in British exchange
caused moderate covering of short con
tracts in the coarse of today's brief, stock
market session.
The further recovery of international
remittances was based upon the recom
mendation of the secretary of tha treas
ury to oongress, urging that credits be
advanced to the more needy European
countries.
Sules amounted to 450,000 shares.
iraains in oonas was relatively more
active than the turnover In stocks. Sev
eral of the recently heavy speculative
rails, including Pennsylanla General Hs
and Baltimore A Ohio convertible 4 Vis
were strong. Liberty and foreign war Is
sues were steady. Total sales, par value,
aggregated 812,300,000. Old United Stales
bonds were unchanged on call during the
week.
A decrease of slightly over 840,500,000
in actual reserves of clearing house banks
created a deficit in total excess reserves
of about 812.S21.0O0. This is the first
deficit reported since .the latter part of
September, when reserves fell almost
8100,000,000 under legal requirements.
Country-wide bank clearings again
broke all previous records for this period
of the year, exceeding 1918 by 40 per cent
and 1917 by almor 2 per cent. Much of
the increase. It was pointed out, resulted
from the higher level of commodity prices
over the previous two years.

LARGE SUMS ARE TRANSFERRED
Shifting of Funds Has Little Effect on
Money Market at New York.
NEW YORK. Dec. 20. Specific reasons
for the more hopeful feeling manifested
In stock market circles this week were
furnished chiefly by the rally in foreia-n
exchange and greater monetary ease than
was expected at this period or the year.
Recovery In exchange, notably the British
rate, was not due to any definite forward
step in the International credit situation,
but rather to a logical rebound from acute
and unreasoning pressure.
Relaxation In the money market again
applied only to daily or call loans. Time
funds remained firm at recent quotations
The most impressive feature of the locai
financial situation was the shifting of huge
sums to meet Income tax returns and
other federal requirements, - accomplished
with scarcely a ripple of the money mar
ket, t
i lie advance in stocks late In the week
was ascribed less to actual demand than
to tardy recognition by the shorts that
the floating supply of popular Issues had
steadily diminished. Another factor which
accelerated the rise was the increased In-q-firr

little display of strength near the open
