NEW YORK, Jan. 7.-The stock market today made numerous material additions to gains of the previous ses- sion, but the greater part of the ac- tivity and strength repossd in issues of a speculative character, seasoned shares scoring comparatively small ad- vances.
 Transactions in stock were the larg- est of any day of the new year, bot almost one-t third of the turnover con- centrated in steels and equipments, mo- tors, oils, textiles and feathers.
 There was a steady inquiry for United States steel at net gain of 1A points, although forecasts of the cor poration's December thrilled tonnage, to be issued next Monday. indicate an other severe shrinkage Of bookings.
 Final prices showed gains of one to six points for crucible and vanadium steels, Baldwin Locomotive, Mexican Petroleum, American Woolen, American International and International Paper, rails making only trivial changes either way. United States rubber, Roy al Dutch and General Asphalt recorded nominal losses. Sales aggregated l. 1S5, ,000 shares.

Building Costs In Phoenix Fall 2OPer Cent Past Eight Months

to date, but slump is expected within the next few weeks in view of the &C., ton recently taken by Portland cement firms of the Middle West in announc- ing a 25 per cent reduction on whole sale prices. This action, 1t is expected, will be followed by similar action by Portland cement firms throughout the country.
 Hardwoods generally have suffered big slumps while a majority of the softer lumbers have held fairly firm under the pressure. A downward ten dency is being noted, however, and with markets throughout the country showing little activity. further drops are to be expected.
 Other clements entering into build ing costs, such as labor, nails and the like. have held firm and there is no immediate depression likely. it was said.

The corner grocer and the white

fully recalled the statement made last
Saturday by DR.. Eugene III. Porter,
State Commissioner of Foods and
Markets, that the retailers in produce
are still profteerng and are trying to
keep the public in the dark about the
big drop in the wholesale prices of
most everything people eat
The fiat statement made by Com
missioner Porter that Wholesale prices
of fruits and vegetables are actually
down to a pre-war level, and that re-
tailers, nevertheless, are keeping their
prices up to almost the war days level,
prompted an investigation of the facts
yesterday on the part Of THE NEW
YORK HERALD. A reporter visited
typical neighborhood groceries and
meat markets, both of the "credit and
send home" type and the ''cash and
carry" sort; discussed the situation
with commission and wholesale men
and compared current wholesale prices
with the retail prices for the day.
Retailer Pleads Waste.
The outcome of the investigation ap-
pears to show, on the surface at least,
that DR.. Porter was not far off in his
assertion that the public is not getting
the benefit of the big drop in wholesale
prices. On the other hand. the retailer
maintains that nobody seems TO take
into consideration the fact that much
waste material rejected by the public
is left on his hands and that this waste.

meats, cuts heavily into his apparent

Chain store Prices.
The prices of the so-called Chain"

ties at consequent saving and have

At chain stores, for example. potatoes
were selling at five pounds for 13 cents,
pretty nearly the wholesale price as

in these stores at seven cents a pound
and onions at three pounds for 10 cents.
At the big retail markets the prices

the level was about the same.

Al cents pound. In the wholesale
market It was quoted at AZ to As cents.
The best white henuery eggs were
