firm of Z. W. Wagner & Co. which
failed yesterday. December acted a
little tight ard scattered buying
found offerings light while the July
was weak and led the decline. The
market received excellent support
on the early break and May fully
recovered its early loss only TO ease
off again. Sentiment generally is
slightly bearish. but a ma jority of
interests are inclined to keep close
to shore and considerabl BILE evening

the opening than expected. Some
of the houses that had to sell wait

when the market turned upward i'm
med1ately after the start. No ex-
port demand is expected until after
the holidays. Dry weather reports
continue from the southwest but at

Owing to the prospect for an un-
settled market cash corn handlers
generally did not offer grain east

Dry Goods Markets in 1921.

The deflatton which began in pri-
mary dry goods markets during
1920 was extended in the past year.
Having reduced wages considerably,

and for few weeks business was
quite active A reaction followed,
but forward trading continued to
reflect expansion afterMarch. In var
ious instances, textile distribution
was very large, measured in yard
age, and q decided liquidation of old
stocks was witnessed. Credit influ-
ences were strong throughout the
year An regulated many sales, vet
various large manufacturers sold
their products with less dificulty
than was experienced in some other
lines Wage readjustments did not
make as rapid progress in New
England and the Middle States as in
The South and some parts of the
EesA, and q protracted strike of cot

was one Of the unusual features
OF the year.

Absence of Short Trade
Hurts Weeks Curb Mart

NEW YORK. Dec. 3l.-The business
of the New York Curb Exchange dur
ing the past week suffered because OF
an absence OF an excessive short &C
count such as furnished incentive for
heavy buying and violent advances in
stocks on the New York Stock EN-
change. There was a general DISPOSE
ton TO close out speculative accounts
for the end Of the year and another
unfavcrable factor was the heavy sup
ply of stocks whose market value has
been almost eliminated. but which
were sold for trifling amounts in order
TO establish losses in income tax re-
turns. An instance Of this trading
WAS shown in WHY'S Corporation in
which sales were made at cents to
5 cents but on which the stamp
charges amount TO 4 cents per share.
Many mining stocks were sold at even
lower prices practically netting moth
Ing to the seller. Price movements
during the week even in active in
dustrials were comparatively narrow.
among them being Durant Motors OF
Indiana which yielded from Tx to
los, a new low record, while the old
stock was traded in at 25A TO IS.
Glen Alden Coal was one OF the few
strong issues moving up from 42hs to
44l4. Todd Shipbuilding also showed
a strong tone, advancing from IS to
IL. Continental Candy sold down to
5 cents a share, and Buddy Buds sold
at 80 cents a share. United Retail
Candy ranged from a.. to 5A. There
was a period OF activity and strength
in United Profit Sharing which sold
at 1915 to 2 1-l6. British-Americsn
Tobacco was steady, ranging from
1873 to 1875.
