MARKET 18 ORDERLY New York, Nov. 20.—Buying of coppers, steols and other industrials and specialties in almost unprecedented quantities was re- sumed today, with the usual list of new high records. The market was orderly most of the day, probably as a result of warnings issued from wubstantial financial quarters. Additional cause for caution was found In the further depletion of local bank reserves, which contributed (o the higher rates for call loans, these being quoted at 3% per cent just before the market's close, During the first half of the session the rise proceeded ‘with only such speculation as may have been caused by profit taking. In the later dealings, however, selling orders far outweighed demand and extreme gainy of 1 to 3 points In the metals and leading industrials were largely or wholly reduced. Ralls followed their recent course of in- activity until the end of the day, when a brisk inquiry for Union Pacifie, New York Central, Reading and Southern, and south- western issues offected advances of 1 to 2 points. The tone at the close was irregular. specialties like Texas Company and Amer- ican Writing Paper more than holding their gains, while seaspned favorites were at or near Jowest levels. Total sales of stock Again approximated 2,100,000 res, making the third successive full session in which dealings approximated that huge total. Foremost among the new maximums were GRAIN AND PRODUCE All Grades of Wheat 8ell Higher When Buyers Snap Up Samples. RECEIPTS ARE VERY HEAVY Omaha, November 20, 1916. The cash wheat market’ was on a much better basis today and all grades of wheat sold from 1@3c higher. Today's receipts wers rather heavy, and, although there were a number of samples held over from Saturday, the buyers to- day were willing to take most of the sam- ples on the advance, The demand was especially active for the better grades of hard winter wheat, and while the millers were willing to pick up most of the durum wheat they were paying only a small premium over the ordinary hard winter variety. The bulk of the No, 2 hard wheat brought §1.81@1.82; No. 3 hard sold generally at $1.78 80 and the No. 4 hard ranged from $1.73@1.79; with the bulk going at $1.76@1.77. The increased receipts forced a break in the cash corn market and prices ruled from steady to 1%c lower. The bulk of the com samples were of pretty good quality and were in good de- mand the prevalling prices. ~ Yellow corn sold at a slight premium, the No. 3 grade bringing from 90@91c, while the same grade ‘of white and mixed corn brought from §9% @90c.
