American Corn In Britain.
Although there is no active demand for
American mixed corn in England, cabled
Broomhall. holders still maintain a firm
position and offerings of this grade at 8d
advance from previous sales. Weather in
Argentina is clear and mild, which is not
unfavorable for the new crop, although
more rain In some portions would be wel
come. Fair quantities of old corn are
being quietly absorbed by foreign Interests
and it is likely that shipments will, be
maintained in good volume.

Favorable reports are coining in of live
stuck conditions, in the northwest. Bheep
In particular are wintering well, although
they went into the feed lots thin, owing.
t-i the dry fall and summer. Feed con
tinuea in sufficient supply in most north
western sections. In Idaho, sheep from
five states are being winter-fed. Through-
cut the west, according to official reports,
the temperature has lately been consider
ably above the normal, and there has been
little or no nreetDitation in the central
and southern parts of the grazing area.
Borne precipitation was recorded In the I January. 1U.
m.nl,. nrwkv mountain states. The I January, l!lll
tnlld weather was decidedly favorable for January,
stock, and the grazing area was Increased
by the melting of snow. Stock continues
in good to excellent condition in the south
am . great plains and southern Rocky
mountain states. Much feeding la still
necessary in many northern districts. The
warmth and moisture brought out some
fresh grass in Montana. Meadows and
ranges deteriorated in California because
f a lack of moisture. Stock and range
conditions in the western states are
ported as follows:
Orea-on The condition of stock In the
slate is generally good.
Washington The weather is favorable
lor livestock. .
Idaho Livestock Is still thriving, but
feed is getting scarce in many localities.
Nevada Cattle and sheep are wintering
well. Hay Is plentiful. Ranges are fair.
Utah Stock suffering continued with
some losses, except In the extreme south
rn portion. Snow melting has improved
stock and ranges.
Montana Warmth and moisture have
Brought out fresh green grass.
Wyoming Warm weather is favorable
for weak stock. ScaXtercd stock is being
rounded up. Range horses are dying in
the southwest. Ranges are open in the
auuth and Big Horn basin, but poor. The
feed scarcity Is serious.
California AleaMows and ranges are
deteriorating and livestock is being fed.

Selling Starts With Motor Issues
and Spreads to General List.
Bonds Are Weak.
NEW YORK, Jan. 31. Industrial stocks
of the more representative classes gave
promise of extending recent gains at the
outset of today's brief session, steels and
equipments again ' pointing the way with
perceptible improvement in rails and ship
pings.
Trading had nof progressed very far,
however, when pressure, evidently of pro
fessional character, manifested itself In the
motor issues, soon spreading to the gen
eral J 1st. General Motor made an ex
tram reversal of 10 point, nding with
a net loss of , and Crucible Steel's Ini
tial moderate gain was replaced by a de
cline of slightly more than five points.
Baldwin Locomotive also forfeited Its fur
ther advance and Republic Iron seemed
to be the objective of a lively short in
terest. Sales amounted to 350,000 shares.
The most significant feature of the
clearing house statement was another de
crease $29,324.000 in actual loans and
discounts, - making a lotal contraction of
about $127,000,000 In the first month of
the year. Actual reserves made up only
a small part of last week's decrease, but
left the total excess at about $23,000,000,
as against the recent deficit of almost
$3,000,000.
Following Its cours of the preceding
days of the week, the bond market los'
additional ground, liberty and foreign is
sues displaying further heaviness. Total
sales, par value, aggregated 8, 780,000. Old
United States bonds were unchanged on
call during the week.

Car Ijr-t Run Floor Trade.
While most of the mills reported little
ew business, say the Northwestern Mill
ar, this fact presented less cause for Im
mediate worry than their inability to get
nough cars either to bring In wheat or
to load out floor. Most of the mills hare
plenty to do, so far as orders now on their
book are concerned, if they can get cars
and shipping directions. The situation,
which was troublesome all through the
fall, has recently grown worse than ever,
and a curtailment of flour output is wide
ly predicted unless the railroad' admin
istration, is able to take elieclive measures ,

"Hogs The hog receipts for 1919 at th
yards were 28,000 less than In 1918. . The
cause of this is traceable to hog raisers
in this territory being deprived of their1
natural hog finishing feed when the gov
ernment restricted th use of wheat. Fur
thermore, the unprecedented prices offered
for both wheat and hog apparently has
had a tendency to roduca the number of
brood sows In the territory.
"Sheep Sheep receipts not only show in
crease over last year, but the percentage
of sale In th yards has been higher, the
demand on the market for both fat sheep
and lambs and for feeders has been strong,
"Cattle Th prospects of a better outlet
for cattle are good. The demand has bee,:
steady for fat cattle, and the entrance o.
new cattle deaieis on the market indicates
that the demari.- lor the thin unfinished
cattle of good quality will build up."
There was very little trading done a:

Car shortage, wintry weather and the

Of the unfavorable elements noteu, tne
car, and in some sections, tne power
shortage shown on most railroads is ap
parently the moot serious. Bnonages oi
fuel have become acuate at large iron and

VAIA'KS OF STOCKS SCrTKIt LITTLE
Market Not Seriously Affected by Dremb
In Exchange Bate.
NEW YORK, Jan. 31. All other devel
opments of a hesitant and otherwise un
certain week In the financial market were
overshadowed by the more serious crash
in foreign exchange. - Movements of in
ternational credtts against Bngland, Italy,
France and other European countries Were
without precedent and excited grave con
cern among banking interests nere ana
abroad.
Those who recalled that December ex
ports fell away by almost fxi,ooo,ooo as
compared with November predicted that
this later reversal in exchange Is likely
to have even a more unfavorable effect
on the country's trade balance for the
month ending today.
Domestic money conditions also denoted
further disturbance In consequence- of the
policy of credit curtailments adopted by
the federal reserve board. Time funds
failed to relax even in slight degree and
call loans ruled at 12 per cent, with a
maximum rate of 20 per eent.
Quoted value On the stocft exc'liange
suffered relatively little shrinkage, how.
ever, and in several cases prloes were well
over those of the previous week.
Further wage increases by leading steel
mill were regarded in many quarter
as foreshadowing an upward revision of
price schedules, but several of the leading
producers deny such aotlon I contem
plated. That some of the other Important
industries are noi keeping pace with the
steel trade, however, Is seen In the re
cent statements of leather and textile com
panies and another reversal In the copper
metal market.
