COOLIDGE SPEECH
 CAUSES GRAIN SAG

CHICAGO, Dec. 6.-Wheat de- clined ip price today immediately after President Coolidge's references to agriculture became public here. The action of the market was gen orally ascribed to increased selling based on opinions that the message was less bullish regarding wheat than the majority of traders had looked for. Wheat closed unsettled. shade to ssc net lower. December, s1.o4A a @S1.04s4 @ 7s and May, s1.1oSs decline to 5ic advance, oats shade to Mc off, and provisions varying from 12c lower to 20c gain.
 According to some observers, the enlarged selling, which took place in the wheat market as soon as the substance of the Presidents message was known, appeared to be much in the nature of profit taking on the part of purchasers, who. earlier In the day, had acted on gossip that the message would prove buIiish. However, this might be, it was cer- tain that the wheat market, which temporarily had been advancing, dropped 1c to 1 l9c bushel within 15 minutes after the text of what the President said about the grain situation had been printed by the tickers on change here and In scores of brokerage houses around the board of trade.
 A moderate rally from the days lowest prices for wheat ensued In the hour and a half which inter- vened prior to the finish of trading. In some quarters this recovery was explained as being more or less due to predictions which were cur rent that the general effect of the i Presidents message would be to stimulate confidence that would be reflected in the stock market and by grain as well.
 Firmness of the corn market was in some degree the result of a little export business. Oates were stead led by the action of corn.
 Notwithstanding weakness of hog values, provisions averaged higher owing to dearth of offerings.

STOCKS ARE GOOD
 AS MARKET CLOSES
Good Recovery Follows Profit Taking On Speculative
 Securities
By WALTER s. BROWN Market Editor New York Commercial Leased Wire To The Agc.Herald)

NEW YORK, Dec. 6.--Nothing but praise was heard in Wall street for the Presidents message, his first definite public statement since he assumed office.
 The effect of the message on the stock market was strictly according to rule The market was strong of such a highly constructive docu- ment, and the speculative securities sold of afterward on the theory that .he news was out and it was therefore time to take profits.
 This did not last very long. how ever, and a good recovery set in to- ward the close. Rails were strong, and the announcement that stock holders of Reading as of record De- cember IT would receive the right early in January to subscribe to cer- tificates of interest in stock of the new coal company which is to ac- quire coal properties of the reading under the segregation plan caused heavy buying of that stock during the forenoon, which/was shared by New York Central, which holds some 600000 shares of the Reading issues
 Further reduction in the back log of unified orders of the United States Steel corporation Is expected to be shown in the statement to be issued next Monday. The decline as of No- vember 30 is expected to approxi mate that shown at the end of Oc- tober. This would bring the un- filled orders to the lowest level since February a year ago.
 Oil stocks were bought in the fore noon in response to the large reduc- tion reported in crude oil during the week ended December 1. Figures of the Amercon Petroleum institute in dicated drop of 115,000 barrels daily, the most pronounced reduction since the peak of production was reached in the middle of September While most of the loss was in the Texas fields, all other territories $ showed a corresponding falling off
 Extra dividends were declared by the Paige Detroit Motor company the Electric Storage Battery com : pany, Elliott Fisher company, the Nunally company and the Rec Motor Car company.

SHANNON < co.

NEW YORK, Dec. s.--The event of to- day has been the Presidents message. Ii is clear. forceful. thoroughly sane presentation of the position of the coun- try and it's needs. It has been met SC far with general appreciation. It seems to establish the President clearly the leader of his party and should go far toward insuring his renomina ton.
 All this is very helpful and quite up to the most optimistic expectation. The result in the market has been favorable Trading has been in large volume and prices in the main have been firm. The political outlook in the country has beer greatly improved in the last six months and there have been unmistakab1e signs of decline in the light headed radicalism which was so prevalent year ago. Busi- ness also has held up during the current year in better volume than could req sonaby have been expected last January Moreover the business prospects for the next six months are better. in the sb- sence of any large inventories the current turnover keeps industry active. Never theless 1t is not unreasonable to expect that after the substantial rise in the mar ket there should be considerable profit taking during the present month.
