terest or support was restricted to the
better known investment issues in the
transportation division.
Heaviness of certain Issues, notably
Baldwin Locomotive, General Motors,
Allied Chemical, South Porto Rico
Sugar, and several equipments was
directly traceable to poor earnings,
pressing financial needs and reduced
dividends.
Some of the oil issues recorded fur
ther recessions on additional price
cuts, while food shares improved
moderately as schedules for refined
products were revised upward.
Steels nnd kindred shares had their
periods of comparative strength but
the weekly reviews again emphasised
the detached attitude of consumers to
ward prevailing prices and referred to
the likelihood of further curtailmest
of production.
Average prices were at highest lev
els in the Inst hour, call money rates
then falling from seven to six per cent
and provoking the usual short cover
ing. Seasoned rails, notably North
ern Pacific and Great Northern as
well as motors and steels, were most
prominent, a firm tone ruling at the
close. Sales 555.000 shares.
Dealers reported a fair degree of
activity in foreign exchange, all lead
ing remittances enhancing recent
gains. Exceptions were provided b?
the Scandinavian centers which were
heavy, especially Denmark and Nor
way. Liberty Issues were the only steady
features of the bond market, other
domestic as well as international Is
sues easing variably. Totcl sales, par
value. 112,650.000.
James S. Alexander's
President National Bank of Commerce, N. Y.. opin
ion is That the year 1921 will not be a boom year
and wise businewi men are not basing their plans on
the expectation of a return to even normal activity.
But that it does seem reasonable to make plans on
the expectation of safer and saner business activity,
with less violent price fluctuations than have char
acterised the past five years and with less of the ele
ment of speculation.'

Profit Taking Sent Wheat
Price Down at Chicago.
CHICAOO, Feb. 17. Wheat under
went a setback Wednesday as a result
of profit taking. Closing quotations
were heavy, 8 to 4 1-2 net lower, with
xtnroh i 71 to 1.71 l-t and Mav 1.61 "4
to 1.62. Corn lost 1 3-8 to 1 3-4, oats
1 to 1 to 191 1-8 and provisions 13 to
1 Re
With one notable exception, the
wheat selling side had the greater
number of adherents. The exception
was during a brief early period and
was due to a dispatch from an expert
saying the country around Paris, Tex
as, was alive with green bugs. The
general tenor of crop reports from the
winter wheat belt as a whole appeared,
however, to indicate actual damage
as yet was small, and It was contend
ed that although the prevailing abnor
mal mild weather justified apprehen
sion of a disastrous amount of injury
from the green bug pest had but sel
dom taken nlace. Many of today's
tinned their action on knowl
edge that no radical harm had been
done by the green bugs since isi.
The loss then was roughly 61.000,000
bushels of wheat and 40,000,000 Dusn
Corn and oats sympathized with
.hoot hut also disnlaved notable pow
er of resistance owing more or less to
export sales of 500.000 bushels or corn.
Provisions were depressed by down
