—Dec. 20—
The earlv trading today gave some in
dication of a ' hange In the marker sen
timent. Commission houses were the
buyers of some stocks, and while the
volume was moderate, the fact that sell
ing from this source h.a diminished to
a verv material extent, is significant of
a more favorable public sentiment.
For a long time we have had to con
tend with an enormous volume of stocks
that were dally offered in the market,
with the resultant shrinkage in values
With offerings now diminished it would
indicate that either liquidation has been
nearly completed or that a more opti
mistic feeling is developing as to the
prospect of business for the coming year
Later In the day there was renewed
pressure on the market, but it was not
general. t>e!ng confined to a limited num
ber of issues, and was credited to pro
fessional interests, and as likely as not
increas.ng the extent of the short Interest
creating a stronger technical situation,
which wt.l become m. nifest whenever we
shall be favored with some encouraging
news from trade circles.
Financially, we are passing through a
very strained banking aituatlon In a most
creditable way and we have every reason
to expect more normal money markets
this coming year. At the present time
there is nothing that we could point to
as an Incentive for bullish market oper
ations, but we are of the op nlon thi
we are now passing through the last hour
of housecleanltig and we expect from now
on an increasing demand from Invest
ment.

GRAIN MARKET
TONE SLOW
Trade Is Light in Futures,
With Lack of Demand.
CHICAGO, Dec. 21.—Trading was
light in grain futures on the Chicago
Board of Trade today, with fractional
changes in prices. The trend of the
market was weaker, due to absence of
demand.
There was little activity or interest in
trading.
Provisions were higher.
December wheat opened up %c at
$1.71 and later lost lc. March wheat
was unchanged at the opening at $1.64%
and later gained %c. May wheat opened
off %e at $1.61 und Iftter dropped %c.
December corn was unchanged at the
opening at 69%c, but lost 2c before the
close. May corn opened unchanged at
74c and later gained 1 Vic. July corn
was up lc at the opening at 75%c and
later ndvaneed %c.
December oats was off %e at the open
ing at 47%e and gained %c later. May
was unchanged at the opening at 49%e
and held that figure In later trailing.
July outs opened up %c at 49c and later
advanced nn additional %e.
(By Thomson A McKinnon.)
—Dec 2 \p
Wheat —Wheat has ruled full and easy
most of the day in absence of cash buy -
ing by the British commission and more
liberal receipts In the Southwest. Xne
visible supply showed about as expected
all around. Clearances of wheat and
flour were heavy and stimulated some
purchases of wheat on the w. ak places.
The situation Is still one of export busi
ness and any indication of renewed buy
ing by the foreign interests would, nat
urally be followed by advanced prices.
Corn—Corn has been very strong at
higher prices with the saine kind of
support by leading elevator and cash
houses as was shown las. week. This
has kept the market strong. There was
one reaction lu the corn market of l%c
from the high, but on this break, re
newed takings by the elevator Interests
made a quick recovery. Primary re
ceipts were liberal and no fresh export
busiuess was consummated. Cash
premiums ruled about the same as Sat
urday. We expect the present strength
to rule \intll shorts have completed th*-lr
covering, or until the movement from
first hands is more than sufficient for
the present needs cf the market, and ac
cumulations commence to show. Cash
premiums yielded slightly In the South
west aud here, but uot enough to change
the tenor of the murket.
Oats —oat* did not show any Inde
pendent strength today, but trailed along
after corn, without making any pro
nounced advance. We expect them to
still follow the corn trend.
Provisions —Hog market was little
lower and closed easy with 5,0 U) carried
over unsold. The streugth In grain
helped to steady the provision market,
wnere shall changes lu values only were
made.

MAY NOT RATIFY
NEW NOMINATION
Senate May Favor Holding
Job for Republican.
It was the opinion today of officials at
the Federal building familiar with the
workings of the Government in Washing
ton that the nomination of Burt New,
former executive secretary of the Demo
cratic State committee, to suceed William
L. Elder as collector of Internal revenue
In Indiana, sent to the Senate by Presi
dent Wilson yesterday, will not be rati
fied. It is generally thought that the
Senate will refuse to ratify the nomina
tion of Mr New, compelling Mr. Elder
to remain in office until after March 4,
when a Republican successor will tie
named.
Mr. Elder, it is known, is prepared to
remain in the Government service until
afWr March 4. although he is very anx
ious to be relieved of his duties in or
der to devote ail his time to his private
affairs.
Further light was thrown upon Mr.
Elder’s reasons for sending his resigna
tion to Washington several months ago,
when close friends declared that the red
tape and minute supervision of all ac
tivities of subordinates which Washing
ton bureaus exerclfxe grew irksome to the
collector, who is a man of large personal
business affairs and used to working out
his own ideas It has been a well known
fact since he accepted the post in Sep
tember. 1919, that the salary of $6,000 per
year was no attraction. He took the
place only upon the Insistence of Vice
President Thomas R Marshall that as a
mutter of public se-vlce he should step
in and organize the Internal revenue serv
ice in the State upon a real business
basis.
Just prior to Mr. Elder’s assumption of
the collector’s duties Peter J. Kruyer
had started the work of combining the
old Fifth and Sixth Internal Revenue
Districts, comprising the entire State,
Into the one district. Mr. Elder took up
the task, and according to experts in the
revenue department, has accomplished
good results.
