| GRAIN AND PRODUCE Cash Grain Market is Very Dull as Foreign Demand Drops Sharply. SLUMP IN ALL CEREALS Omaha, December 2, The cash grain market was again today and all cereals took a decided | slump. ' There was hardly any demand for [ wheat, except by the millers, who were willing to take only the best grades of milling wheat. Wheat was exceptionally weak and the 4c to 6c drop today was the biggest decline that wheat has suffered for » time. The bulk of the No. 2 hard 661 and $1.77%, about bo under yesterday's average price, while the bulk of the No. 3 hard sold at $1.63 and $1.64, a decline of 6c to ic per bushel, Corn was quoted from 2c to 3¢ off, but the market was not as unsteady as wheat, and there was a pretty good percentage of the samples disposed of before the hour of closing. White corn sold fairly good at & Ic remium, but the bulk of the corn sales vere made up of No. 3 vellow and mixed corn, which sold generally at 82c and §2%c The cash Inquiry for oats was moder- y active, and while prices ruled from 1o to 1%c lower, the trade was fairly b and buyers took up most of the samples at 50%¢c and 30%c and pald around 60c and 50%c for the poorer samples, Rye followed wheat on the decline and was quoted from 3c to S%c lower, but the cash trade was pretty active, considering the drop In prices. *The barley market was unimportant and only a few cars were sold, the market belng quoted from Zc to 6c off, Clearances were, wheat and flour equal to 342,000 bushels; corn, none; oats, 7,000 bushels Liverpool close: Wheat, 1d up; corn un- changed. Primary wheat recelpts were 1,629,000 bushe ipments 1,926,000 bushels against recelpts of 2,956,000 bushels, and ipments of 2,485,000 last year. | imary corn recelpts were 1,327,000 bush * eiw, and shipments 471,000 bushels ag receipts of 952,000 bushels, and shipments of 324,000 bushels last yea Primary oats receipts were 1,021,000 bush- els, and shipts 681,000 bushels against re- ceipts of $55,000 bushels, and shipments of 955,000 bushels last year.

Owing to the fact that there were only five market days this week supplies showed a slight falling off from a week ago, the week's total of T4,- 256 head being 5600 lighter than last week, but more than 9,000 heavier than two weks ago. And a gain of 31,000 over last yeal For irregularity today's market was about the worst of the week. Advices from other points were encouraging and anything that buyers considered desirable found a fairly ready outlet here figure. that were a nickel higl ome sellers calling the trade no more than steady, whil hers thought they sold hogs much as b@10c higher. These desirable kinds included welghty stuff, the better classes of mixed and butchers, and some of the best lights. ‘The most of the unevenness was noted on lights, Packers have been trying all week, and with considerable success; too, to widen the sproad between welghty kinds and lights, and they continued their cam- paign today. What made the market su irregular was that where a seller had a lo two of lights In with a weightier atrh l could get rid of them on a fairly wath factory basis, but with the exception of the best grades, packers left lights and particu- larly underwelghts alone wherever It wi possible.. A s.umber of loads that had to be carried over yesterda, made conditions all the worse, close found a good. sized accumulation of lights and :’I- 1 the o stuff had been cleaned up. Most of the hogs sold at $9.45@9.65, with @& good showing of thoe underwelghts and less desirable lights on down to $9. Tops reached $9.85. C the general market is a big quarter lower. Lights are fully this much off at the least, while some of them show even greater de- Mean closes have been feature of nearly very day this week, and whatever lights came in on late trains had & mighty hard tUme, it being necessary to sacrifice them, or In some cases where bids could not be obtalned the day they arrived, it was two or three days before they sold.

Berlin, Nov 10.—For the benefit of creditors one of ghe higher courts of Berlin has assembled statistics from the huge area of “Greater Ber- lin” showing all the bankruptcy proceedings of years past, and con- taining all the names of men and firms that have gone through bankruptcy and been found to have no tangible assets. This measure is taken especially because it has hertofore been the case that creditors in one ‘section of Ber- lin have pushed expensive bank- ruptcy against apparently solvent firms, only to find after it was too late that the firms had been through banktuptcy in some other section of the city. The new institution will in part be | operated on the-style of a card cata- logue, in which will be entered all the salient facts about any bankruptcy proceeding in any of the many sec- tions of the city. It will also be along the line of a Bradstreet or Dun agency, for its information will also be open to the individual or firm contemplating loans or credit to per- sons who on their record should have were | W 1916 Extension of Recent Inquiries for Low Rails is the Feature.
