CHICAGO, November 16.—Influ- enced by weakness of sterling ex- cbange and by prospects in an in- ! crease in the domestic visible sup- | pIx total, wheat prices underwent a fresh decline today in the early dealings. Bears also made much of agsertions that any advance in the wheat tariff would probably be so late that much Canadian wheat would be unloaded beforehand in the United States. Reports o large shipments of grain from Russia counted as pressing fdctor. The ening, which ranged from to g lower, with December 1.02 to 1.02% and May 107% to 1.07%, was followed by a material further drop. Predictions of enlarged receipts had a bearish effect on corn. After A | opening unchanged to 3 lower, De- | cember, 73% to 74%, the market showed a decided general setback. Oats were relatively steady, owing to demand from cash interests. Prices started unchanged to % off, May, 44, and then held near to the initial figures. Scantiness of stocks of lanl gave firmness to the provision market. WHEAT— Close. January May ...

MEATS SELL UNDER PRE-WAR LEVELS By By the Associated Press. CHICAGO, November 16.—That many kinds of meat are seliing at or below pre-war levels was asserted today in a statement issued by Howard Leonard, president of the National Live Stock and Meat Bogrd. “The wholesale prices of pork loins, on November 10, 1923, were 9 per cent less than on the corresponding date in 1913. Fresh hams were only about 6 per cent higher than during the cor- responding week in 1913 ‘and the wholesale price of leaf lard about 22 per cent higher. Spare ribs were 21 per cent lower and skinned pork shoulders 12 per cent lower. “Good veal is 20.5 per cent lower than it was ten years ago. Smoked hams show an increase of 26 per cent over 1913 quotations, but breakfast bacon is wholesaling at virtually the levels which existed ten yeurs ago.

The rates now in effect have been one of the principal toplcs of discus- sion at the present conference of gov- erncrs of the various reserve banks with members of the Federal Reserve Board, and every indication fs said to point to a reduction in the nea future. Such a rumor comes as a dis- ‘lrll.!! surprise to the banking. world, which was expecting action of a di- rectly opposite tenor. jnafter a careful review of the bank- ng situation officials of the board have found that the banks Ol‘ ’[l)rlul ¥ are more prosperous tha: t any time in their history.

Moody's Weekly Review of financial conditions, in its current issue, says in part: “The new tax-cutting proposals imply conservatism on the part of the Presi- jdent and his cabinet, but the real gain shown by these proposals, together with election Teturns, appears to be that the progress of radicalism is now meeting opposition. “In view of the slump in stocks and bonds following the 1922 congressional elections, the recent election returns should be regarded as a proper invest- ment subject. When properly analyzed, these returns disclose a trend of senti- ment back toward conservatism in the great manufacturing states, a continued movement toward radicalism in the grain states and a_growth of the strength of the opposition party in the South. “Political history, ancient and mod- ern, shows that prosperity makes votes in favor of the status quo, and adver- sity against if. It shows, too, that the percentage of swing from one party to the other is practically uniform wherever business conditions are uni- form. Utllizing this scientific principle the political sentiment of the whole country has often been accurately es timated from special elections in a single state or locality. “Thus it is indicated that if a presi- dential election had been held, last week it would have been dacided by a plurality of only fifteen to thirty five votes in the electoral college. However, the slow agriculturgl recov ery is tending to restore corfervative sentiment in the west SEABOARD ROAD SUED. Cotton Firm Demands Compressing to Save Car Space. ATLANTA.
