Business Moderately Active;
Anglo-American Oil Stock
Shows Decided Strength. :

NEW YORK, Dec. 2s.-A better
tone was displayed in the Curb
Market today and business was
moderately active. Price move
ments, however, continued within
fractional limits in most issues.
Lower priced oils were most active
in the market and moved frac-
tionally higher. Moderate activity
was shown in the bond issues,
where small improvements were
numerous.
A feature of the oil stocks was
the strength In Anglo American,
which rose from 16k to 16%. Mid
west Refining was rather quiet and
changed hands around last nights
closing level. Allied Oil was the
most active of the group and scored
a 2-point gain. International Pc
troleum on light offerings declined
a. small fraction. Merritt OIL de-
clined to 10A.
Goodyear Tire on a few sales
moved up from 21A to- "a, and there
was continued buying of Meteor
Motors. although that stock re-
ported from its high level with
evidence Of profit-taking in the
late trading. International Rub
ber. which has been neglected for
long time, was active. ranging
from 5M to 5z. Mining shares

CHICAGO, Dec There was
no demand for wheat today. and
prices closed %a3c lower. Along
with the duilness spirit of depres-

limited, and this more than any
thing else caused the decline. Ex-
port business was practically at a

manned closed for the holidays, and
European buyers are not interested
in the wheat market for the pres

low levels and weakness in the
stock market exerted a depressing
December corn was bought freely
by houses reported to be acting for
elevator interests. This started
short covering, and prices were bid
up over 1c from the previous close.
Late months started easier, but they
recovered with December before the
close. Reports from Iowa and I'LL
nois said farmers were refusing to
sell corn at SC above present mar
ket price. The close found Decem-
Der / &c higher and late months
unchanged to Nc lower.
The oats market showed no i'm
provement. The trend of prices was
slightly lower. owing to some sell
ing of current delivery by casn
concerns and May by commission
concerns. Domestic demand con-
tinued dull. At the close futures
were unchanged to NC lower.
Rye was NC higher to kc lower
and barley was 1k a3c lower.
Provisions opened easy, but hrm-

cline in live hogs at the yards
Trading was of fair volume and
confined largely to commission
houses. Some buying was credited
