FINANCE WORLD DIVIDED IN TWO OPPOSED CAMPS \ One Side Optimistic, While Other Says Conditions Are Unchanged. JUDGE GARY’S OPINION Special to Indiana Daily Times and Philadelphia Public Ledger. By MONITOR. N7W YORK, Dec. s.—As the week closes, financial sentiment appears to be divided into two distinct camps. One is dominated by optimism amounting almost to enthusiasm in the expectation that the wave of investment buying will grow and overflow into eventual speculative channels, revivifying industry and business and developing into a genuine bull market. A view almost diametrically opposite is taken by others, who at present are not translating conviction into action, that the present market is purely a moDy affair and that economic conditions stand as an insuperable barrier to a stable bull market or any advance of extent or per manency. RISE OF LIBERTY BONDS. There is little doubt that the wave of buying that first made its appearance in the security markets, originated in the investment section and was largely institutional in character. Liberty bonds were bought in enormous quantity at rising prices. These issues advanced until some of them crossed par. Other giltedged bonds were taken up in the same way. New flotations of a desirable character were speedily taken, and in several cases oversubscribed. Solid preferred stocks and seasoned dividend payers among the specialties felt the influence of the buying movement. It wits but natural that the speculative element should become active in certain stocks, with unfavorable elemeuts discop n ted and prospects for an improved future. Undoubtedly this has been the occasion for the buying in the oils and coppers as well as numerous specialties. CONSERVATIVE OPINION'S. Thus far in the opinion of the conservative element, nothing has transpired to afford material improvement in our economic position as regards high production costs and maladjustment between various producing groups. The view is taken that the market may continue its advance until the buying power resulting from a sound money and credit situation exhausts itself, and then it will run into an impasse. There is no doubt the economists and similar experts connected with banks at and some of the larger corporations view wi’ta much skepticism the predictions of a recovery largely or solely through tim impulse furnished by the improved money situation in the t'nited States. One well known publicist puts the case as follows: “The real solution of the problem of business depression in the United States. Great Britain and other countries similarly situated is in its terms very simple, though its practical working out is confessedly beset with the greatest difficulties. The one and only sound and permanent solution is that in every country each and every class or group bo put in the position of obtaining in exchange for its products or services as large a measure of products or services from each and every other class or group as it obtained in the days of properly balanced economic activity and prosperity before the war.” JUDGE GARY COMPARES WAGE SCALES. The same conclusion, or a somewhat similar one, is to be drawn from the remarks of Judge Gary In his speech before the American Iron and Bteel Insiltute. It will lie recalled that he forcibly emphasized the margin between the wholesale and retail prices of certain necessities end compared the wage scales in the building trades on the basis of 1913 and 1921. Conclusions much along tbe same line are drawn by one of tne large f. ancial institutions In the following: “Reductions in wages, like Increases, have not been uniform. Asa result we have a maladjustment of purchasing power; is seems evident that until there is a better adjustment of purcnasing power and production, sound foundations will not exist for a permanent revival of business.” Those may be largely the cold text- took deductions of the scholarly revival economists. Hope, at le.dst, may be engendered by the though that the unfavorable features in tbe situation are growing encouragingly less, while the favorable ones are becoming more numerous.—Copyright, 1921, by Public Ledger Company.

Scars-Roebuck broke to a low of 05, a loss of about 3 points. Mexican Petroleum reacted to 112%. Governmetn bonds were unchanged and railway and other bonds strong. Total sales were 847,200 shares; bonds, $18,180,000. (By Thomson & McKinnon) —l)cc. 5 , m Nothing transpired since the close of the market last week to change sentiment here. With Congress again in session, attention will be centered once more on Washington as news from day to day will no doubt influence traders to some extent. But unless something very radical is attempted there is every reason to expect a ntnuation of the present market tendency, wliic-h. with a few exceptions, is distinctly upward. Two strong influences are at work and stimulating the public demand for securities. The vast amount of available but unused credit and the steady improvement in business conditions. To illustrate bow business of the Nation is expanding hert and there wo need but cite the most recent report of a $2,990,000 order received by the We.sting house interests from Japan. In today's market some new highs were established, American Locomotive and Marin# preferred being conspicuous in tills list, and from time to time others may be expected to follow and thus gradually record a higher level for tile entire list. There were exceptions, however, adn a few were conspicuously weak, Sears-lSce-buck being again pressed for sale and some of rails t>eiii£ reactionary. Inc selling of St. Paul was particularly aggressive, but so far as is known at this time this Is to be credited to professional account rather than liquidation. So far ns the general market is concerned, we continue to entertain a favorable opinion and regard purchases as advisable on each reaction. TWENTY STOCKS AVERAGE.

GRAIN PRICES DROP SHARPLY Rejports of Snow Over Wheat Belt Is Chief Factor. i CHICAGO, Dec. s.—Grain prices dropped sharply on the Chicago Board of Trade today on reports of snow over the winter wheat belt, where moisture was badly needed. There was heavy selling by large commission houses. Provisions were lower. December wheat opened at $1.13%, up %e, and closed off l%e. May wheat opened up %c and closed down 2c. July wheat opened up %c at $1.07 and closed down 5%c December corn opened off %c at 48%e. and closed off %c. May opened up V*c at 54%c, and closed off %c.

July oats opened at 39%c, unchanged, and closed off %c. (By Thomson A McKinnon.) —Dec. 5 Wheat—The Liverpool wheat market continues to display strength because of recent claims of deterioration of the Argentine crop and small offerings from there. This supplies a foundation for our prices, but at the same time the receipts of wheat in the Southwest are so liberal and the cash demand in all market so slow that there is an absence es new demand for deferred deliveries. Seaboard houses were buyers iff a moderate way, but this was offset by selling, which came from cash interests and from the Southwest. Such foreign demand as exists is for Manitobas and comes from the United Kingdom, sales reported being 800,000 bushels. Poor flour tnulb is reflected in relative uneasiness of cash wheat in Northwest markets. It is very commonly believed that we have no surplus remaining for new export business, but it will take time to demonstrate this idea. At the moment, there is sufficient moving to oversupply the demand and may prove temporally effective in lowering values. Coarse Grains —Receipts- o{ corn are unexpectedly large, coming, As they do, in tlie face of advices that gulf exporters and outside markets are overbidding Chicago. Values have responded to the comparatively ,argo receipts, owing to a lack of broad interest. The visible supply shows a very'.fair decrease and should so continue as the movement to the seaboard and the shipments abroad are under way at all times. Elevator interests are noted as buyers of the May oats, and outside of this there Is practically no demand. Current receipts are sufficient to supply such shipping demand as appears. Provisions—Operations in the provision market are at a low ti<le. A feature in the situation is the- excellent demand from shi pliers for hogs, about half of today’s receipts,being taken in that way. This, of course, means less thasi the usual amount of packing. CHICAGO GRAIN TABLE, —Dec. 5 WHEAT— Open. High. Low.

In the Cotton Market

Dee. s.—The cotton market today was only moderately active. The volume was small and largely professional. There is but little public business in cotton at this time and there is no incentive for it. Something new is required to stumulate interest and it is doubt: “1 whether the coming Government report will serve this purpose, as sentiment centers on approximately 8.000,000 bales as the size of the crop, and there is no reason at this time to anticipate a surprise in the Government's repoit. Whether it be moderately over or under the general situation will remain unchanged, depending entirely on trade develqjmeuts for the new year. As we anticipate more favorable business conditions anil as supplies will not be abundant, we feel that the better opportunity will lie found on the long side, though purchases should be limited to the weak markets. LIVERPOOL, Dec. s.—There was a limited demand tor spot cotton at the opening of business here today. Prices were steady and sales around 6.<M)O bales.

SINN FEIN IS READY TO TAKE IRISH CONTROL Collins Announces Plans as London Conference Ends in Failure . LONDON, England, Dec. 5. —Sinn Fein Is prepared to take over the government of Ireland, Michael Collins, commander-in-chief of the Irish army and peace delegate at London, declared in an exclusive interview today, as negotiations crumbled, "The tents of good government are capacity for making laws, the establishment and support of an efficient and impartial administration and Sinn Fein has these,” the picturesque Irish war leader declared in the first interview to be given by any member of the Sinn Fein delegation since it has been in London. “Sinn Fein's government has been carried on in circumstances that would have daunted and defeated any house of representatives that was not ardently devoted to the interests of the people and that had not an uutisunl political capacity for the business of government. “The success of our government has been acknowledged oven by the governmental leaders of the English. “The Daily Eirrean courts of law are resorted to not only by our own citizens. Unionists, Catholics and Protestants, but by the English residents as welt; the volunteer police protect all classes; the departments of agriculture, trade, commerce and labor have been successful in operation, the finance department has raised, and administers, huge funds. “These constructive works prove that Sinn Fein is able to govern herself.”
