ALL GRAINS WEAK IN CHICAGO PIT


 CHICAGO, Dec. 24-Assertlons that the wheat market was heading downward to competitive basis with other countries tended to weak en all grain values today, but were partly offset by Christmas evening" up of accounts. The close was un- settled E to 15c net lower, May $1.O61s @1.O6A and July $1.04B. In corn, there was 5s to Bc setback and oats a loss of shade to A c. The finish in the provision market ranged from cents decline to 12@ 15c gain.
 Sentiment among wheat traders at the start had a noticeable leaning in the direction of lower prices. Even some houses friendly to an upturn in the market advised that for q while it would be good policy to defer buying. Under such circum- stances, selling although far from heavy proved to be in excess of the demand. Quotations were quick to respond. However, when moder- ate decline had ensued, previous sellers showed a disposition to collect profits, and with general pre-holi- day adjustment of open risks the .narke- rallied somewhat, though failing to recover in full.
 Those who regard wheat supplies aS DuTQGIlSOllc lOOk Ilt DOSIi ilOli lIid for the first time on record the United States was probably import ing a greater amount of wheat than was being exported either as wheat or flour.
 More optimistic traders were con fident, nevertheless, that domestic demand would ultimately turn out to be at least equal to supplies Meanwhile, December deliveries here continued liberal.
 Corn closed at virtually the bot tom figures of the day, sales of corn to go into store here being of suffi- cient volume to prevent any de- cided rally. With weather condi- tions favorable. offerings on the part of country houses were said to have enlarged, and receipts in Chicago were heavy, 179 cars. Oats eased "a little with other grain.
 Higher quotations on hogs streng gthened the provision market.

SHANNON & co.

NEW YORK Dec. 24.-The volume or trading naturally enough has not e oeen large today, but prices have been lirlh m and a number of specialties like Comput- ing and Tabulating, Beech Nut, etc, moved to higher figures. The oils nave held their recent improvement well, Wnlle P. F. has advanced to new figure ana it looks like many of those who have been standing out of this stock in the past ing back. believing that a turn has come in the prospects of the company. The improvement in the oils has strengthened hnined the general situation. The recent strength in the market is a clear indica- tion of the disposition on the part ot the public to discount the splendid results which would accrue to the country from the defeat of the soldiers bonus, re- auction of taxes and the reelection or President Coolidge. If the public became confident that this combination is going to occur we will have sustained d pull market. Merry Christmas. Sales, TehVOo.

RAIL ISSUES FIRM UP BEFORE CLOSE

NEW YORK, Dec. '24.-Stock prices displayed strong tone in today's relatively quiet pre- holiday market which was featured by series of bullish demonstrations in special issues. Standard industrials moved within comparatively narrow, limits on a small volume of trading while number of the rails, which showed traces of heaviness in the early deal lngs, firmed up before the close.
 Predictions of a further advance Tn crude oil prices in January by oil executives was reported for further wave of buying in Standard oil and independent issues, Associated oil, Pacific oil and Maracaibo oil touch ing new high records for the year. Other outstanding strong spots in this group were Marland, Cosden, Producers and Refiners, General Asphalt and California Petroleum, all up a point or more.
 Publication of a survey by the local Federal Reserve bank that re- tail business in 1923, with Decem- Der partly estimated, would break all records brought a flood of buying orders into the merchandising and mail order issues.
 New high prices for 1923 also were established during the session by Corn Products. Cuba Cane preferred, Cuyamel Fruit, Jewel Tea preferred, National Lead, General Cigar, Willys- Overland preferred, American Radia- tor, Computing Tabulatfng Record ing, Continental Can and United States Cast Irno Pipe, some of which sold nearly points above Satur- days closing prices.
 Strength of National Lead was att tributed in many quarters to specu- lative expectation of an extra cash or stock dividend. Rumors of an increase in dividends also were asso- ciated with the jump in Corn Products
 couraged by reports that the de- mand for steel products had been growing steadily in recent weeks, with the prospect of still heavier business in January. United States Steel common closed fractionally higher at 91 and most of the inde- pendent issues recorded a slight im- provement.
 Call money opened at A per cent and advanced to 5 before the close. Most of the time money business was on a per- cent basis. Out of town banks are the principal takers of commercial paper. the ruling rate for best names being A per cent.
 Trading in the foreign exchange market was quiet with only nominal changes in rates. Demand sterling eased slightly to $4.s41z while French francs climbed nearly 3 points to sos cents.
 Total stock sales 7s1,0oo shares.
 Twenty industrials averaged 94.42, net gain .79; high, 1923,s 105.3S; low, S5.7e.
