’ =>mt—Sears-Roebuck Weak.
NEW YORK, Not. 20.—There was evi
dence of improvement at the opening of

That stock fell three points, to 99%, on
a few transactions, and then came back
to 100.

—Not. 20 —
We have had an active trade today hut
there was less violence than heretofore,
though we maintained our daily record
Jr new lows.
At the opening there was a supply ol
selling orders from commission houses, j
which, of course, meant further liquida- 1
tlon.
Professionals who have been active,
sellers for a long time were less dls- 1
posed to press that side, and in some;
departments of the market there was a
noticeable disposition to reduce short j
commitments.
The net result gives a rather irregular
appearance and improvement here and
there, though moderate, was nevertheless
welcome.
In fundamentals we see no change and
in the very nature of things there can
be no drastic change.
Improvement, when It comes, must be
gradual.
Business has received a very severe
blow.
Confldince Is entirely lacking.
Liquidation of commodities will hardly
have run its cours< until the en‘d of the
year and possibly not before the approach
'of spring.

Stock Market Review
NEW YORK, Nov. 20.—The New York
Evening Sun financial review’ today says:
“Although the course of prices in to
day's short session of the stock mar
ket was irregular, and there was an ab
sence of that hysterical selling which
characterized the Friday trading.
••Values were depressed materially in
the middle of the first hour, but the
res.stanca was more or less in evidence
in the second half of the session and at
intervals it was transformed into real
strength.
“So far as the general list was con
cerned gains were held to the closing.’’

GRAIN FUTURES
SCORE LOSSES
Market in Unsettled Condition
—Provisions Decline.
CHICAGO, Nov. 20. —Grain futures had
an erratic life in the half day session on
the Chicago Board of Trade today.
Commission houses were on both sides
of the market, being generally respon
sible for tho unsettled condition.
Futures declined in later trndirjg after
an early rise and showed losses for the
day.
Provisions declined in sympathy.
December wheat, %c lower at the open
ing of $1.72, lost an additional 3c. March
wheat, off %c at $1.63 at the* opening, de
clined 4c later.
December corn opening at 66'/>c an ad
vance of %e, dropped to 64%e. May corn
was unchanged at the opening at 72c,
but later lost 2c.
December oats opened at 44%c, un
changed, and declined %c. May oats
lost %c, after opening unchanged at
4S%c.

Wheat—During these times of liquida
tion enforced or otherwise and destroyed
buying power, the market ignores news
Items and conditions which are of Im
portance. United States wheat is now
cheaper than the Canadian. March de
livery at Buenos Aires is 15 cents over
Chicago. The Government has fixed
$2.16 for Australia for home consump
tion and sales are being made there
around $2.40. With competitive export
ers higher than United States it would
seem to follow that the demand from
central Europe will center on United
States wheat. It seems reasonable to be
lieve that liquidation has spent Itself, but
as yet there Is no reformation In the
state of mind which exists among the
fraternity of buyers. Tho questions of
financial aid to Germany has been re
vived. If by nny chance funds or credit
be furnished them, we shnil probably ex
perience a still larger demand for our
wheat than now exists. Kiglit here it is
to tie noted that the actual export ship
ments since the first of July last have
been at rate or more than 1,000,000
bushels daily. This rate of outward
Shipment can not continue without ex
hausting our surplus.
Corn —It is not possible to discover
any important improvement In the de
mand for corn, but It can be said that
conservative level heads here and outside
are of the opinion that the decline has
been too severe.
Oats —There is no particular broadening
of interest in oats market, but current
receipt are In sufficiently good demand
to keep the prices at considerable prem
ium over the December delivery.
Provisions —The liquidation going on
in grains and commodities is of greater
effect in provision than any other one
thing.
