The wheat market close was unsettled, 5i to 2c net higher, with May $1.16% to $1.1634 and July $1.04% to $1.04%. Corn gained % to \ic and oats a shade to -?4@%c. In provisions the outcome was unchanged to a shade lower. D?finit*, assurance that buying of food' supplies for tho Russians would begin at once tended to make tho wheat market pt'-onR from the start, and at no time were prices lower than yesterday's finish.

Gossip was current nlso that the do? mestic visible supply total on Monday might be expected t" decrease, and thai iKiliing demand was becoming better.

'Inward the last, accordingly, something Of a reaction took place, and there was evidence that numerous holders were ready to realise at $1.17 or above. Strength In prices for corn and oats came chiefly from the signing of the Rus? sian relief bill. !?i addition, however, ex : port demand for corn was active, receipts were light and rural offerings small. Selling by packers counterbalanced in the provision market the effect of up . turns in the salue of grain ami hogs. Grain Prices Wheat Yesterday's Previous Tear New York: close. close. ago.

Larger Than in 1920; Medium Pri?es Christmas sales by department stores in this vicinity, from December ) to December 20, were about i: per cent larger in dollar value than sales dur? ing tlie corresponding period in 1020. and 2 pet* cent larger than sales during the first, three, weeks of 1010, accord? ing to statistics furnished the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, and to be published in tho bank's January bul? letin. Reports on which the computa? tion was based were furnished by six? teen representative concerns. Sales of these stores have been the largest ever reported. Retailers say that the Christmas shopping this week has been larger than usual for the week immediately preceding Christmas. "As prices are lower than those pre? vailing last December," says tie bank in publishing the ligures, "it. is evident that a greater volume of merchandise has been sold. Merchants report that there have been many more customers in the stores and that business has been well distributed,' with increased sales in those departments that handle practical ?nef useful articles*, .such as house furnishings, furniture, rugs. ! carpels and articles of wearing ap? parel. A majority of the stores report increased sales in their toy depart? ments. Sales of jewelry and other strictly holiday goods wer" about I In* same as last year. Medium priced merchandise. was, in gen? eral, in greater demand than the most expensive or the cheaper grades. The average size of each purchase was somewhat smaller than last year. "Complete reports for November from forty-seven firms or corporations operating sixty-one representative stores in this district show that sales in that month were 8.2 per cent below the sales of November, 1920. This de? cline, which compares with' an increase of 2.8 per cent in October over October, 1020. is attributed by mer? chants in part to the closing of the stores on Armistice Day this year and to the unfavorable weather toward' the latter part of the month. Stores in all cities reported smaller sales. When allowance is made for price changes, however, the total amount of goods sold during November was probably greater than that sold during No? vember, 1020. Tho number of in? dividual sales as reported by twenty stores that keep such records was 7.'' per cent greater. The average amount of the individual sale declined 12 per cent from $3.55 in November, 1020, to %:\.V\ in November, 1921. "Chain stores sales in November as reported to the bank were 4 per cent larger than those of November, 1920, while mail order houses suffered a dis? tinct loss, their November sales having been .T4.6 per cent less than those of the corresponding month last year. "Mail order sales," says the bank, "have been adversely affected by the reduced demand from the agricultural population. -Of the chain stores the five and ten cent stores report an in? crease of 4.4 per cent over sales of November, 1020, and cigar stores a de? crease of 0.8 per cent." A diagram in preparation by the bank shows the trend of department store stocks and indicates that the merchants this year have been able to maintain sales at the 1920 level and at tho same time carry stocks of less value, thus increasing the rate of turnover. Comniereial Credit The commercial money markets yes? terday were only moderately active. The best prime commercial paper dis? counted at 5 per cent. The American Acceptance Council quoted the following discount rates on prime bankers' acceptances eligible for purchase by Federal Reserve banks: Bid. As' ed. Thirty days _. 4% , 4V? Sixty days . 4"k 4\4 Ninety days . 4% 4V4 120 days ...,. 4% 4% Call loans against acceptances, 5 per cent. Unexpected Lumber Demand Structural woods showed greater | strength this week, according to the weekly review of the lumber market by "Lumber." Yellow pine purchases by yards in the East and Middle West contributed to the unexpected activity, though not in sufficient volume, to af ^__-: See? Increase of\(J. S. Australian Trade j ??????? i An ?ncreaso'in reciprocal trade ? between Australia and the United Slates is imminent, in the opinion , of R. A. l?'oulk.M, Far Kastern gen- ? eral manager for the American Ex- j press Company, who has returned from a world tour during which he ? established an exclusive office for his company in Sydney, Australia, the first American banking and for? eign collections institutions to be granted permission to operate in the commonwealth. "America needs, and will increas? ingly need, Australia's primary products, such as wool and hides," said Mr. Foulks. "Despite Aus? tralia's tariff preference for her mother country, and her reasonable desire to preserve that large trade with Great Britain. Australians are, 1 believe, anxious t'J develop their trade relations with us. "Business houses in Australia suffered relatively less on the world? wide fall in prices than similar in? stitutions of other countries by reason of the Tact that bankers there began restricting credit, espe? cially for purchases abroad, at an earlier period than did the bankers of most other countries." I_____r feet prices. Announcement of the pros? pective sale of 240,000,000 feet of lum? ber to rebuild the devastated regions of France, deliveries to cover the next three years, have strengthened the tone of the market. Douglas fir is rising on a heavy for? eign demand, large shipments to Cali? fornia and the prospective increase in Eastern demand expected to result from rail rate decreases. Storms in the cutting regions have produced a scarcity of logs. Tne hard woods and minor soft woods continue generally quiet. ---? Woolen Machinery Active Last Month Narrow Cloth and Rug Looms Show increase Over October Continued upward trend in the activ? ity of woolen and worsted narrow looms and carpet and rug looms is | shown in the idle machinery report' in I the woolen and worsted industry as of December I, just issued by the Depart? ment of Commerce. Slight recessions were shown in the activity of wide looms, which turn out most of the j men's wear fabrics and a good part ! of tho women's goods, carding and combing machinery, and both woolen and worsted spindles. The percentage of idleness reported on December 1, computed on the basis of idle hours of machinery to the to tal reported, follows: Looms wider than 50-inch reed space 28.7; looms of 50-inch reed space and less, 25.7; carpet and rug looms, 27.3; sets of cards, 21.2; combs. 6.2; wooler spindles, 21.9, and worsted spindles 12.0. The activity in narrow looms is the highest reported since July, 1920, anc of carpet and rug looms the highest since April. 1920. In general the woolen machinery on December 1 was : between 70 and SO per cent active I while a year ago it was about 40 pei ; cent active. -_ .

Discovered in More Than 2,500 Applications The Automobile Bureau of the State Tax Commission has returned to appli- ; enhts for license? more than 2,500 de? fectivo applications in the: last two ?lays. Most of the mistakes mS0_ were due to tho failure of the applicants to observe the instructions as to answer ?ng the questions on tho blanks. There also was a pronounced tendency to make out chucks in round numbers, sending a check for $10 instead of $y.98. Many applications were not. sworn to? Sine?' Thursday the sole em? ployment of four clerks in the bureau has been writing letter? to applicants who made such errors. "In the future," said .lohn T. WcNeill head of tho bureau, "I hope that the publie will read the application blanks carefully, fill in and answer every ques? tion, swear to the answers and then send us exactly the amount th?t is due. We don't want a penny more and. of course, we can't take a penny less." Bids tor Hudson Vehicular Tubes To Be Invited Thursday Clifford M.
