By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
CHICAGO. December 31.-Reduction
of Americas wheat acreage to insure
against over-production, is Endorsed by
President Coolidge in letter made pub
lis here by the Wheat Council of the
United States
The Presidents letter, addressed to
Representative Sydney Anderson Of Min
nesota, president of the. Wheat Council,
expressed the conviction that farmers
would benefit by forming organizations
be possible for them to deal with the
underlying problems of agriculture.
He expressed the belief also that the
movement to increase the demand for
wheat-food products would. result in
much benefit.
. The work of the Wheat Council of
the United States has interested me
greatly" the Presidents letter said,
"and am writing to say that I be-
heve great practical benefit is likely
to derive from it. The effort, in an or
ganized and systematic way, to estab-
lish such measure of control over the
wheat acreage as will measureably in
gether to be commended. Almost every
important business except agriculture.
has trade organizations and associations
through which It is possible to deal with
such Mtally important matters. Quite
obviously the business Of agricultural
production would benefit by the same
rhethodical approach to- the underlying
problems which it must always confront
1T seems apparent, too, that much BEN

Influences governing the oil trade
situation have been an important fac
that this group represents practically
30 per cent of the class of stocks
traded in on this exchange. Oil COM
panies during the last year have been
raced with the serious problem of
overproduction. This has resulted in nu.
merous price cuts throughout the year
and has brought about sharp declines
| in foreign and domestic oil companies
stocks. The peak of domestic produc-
ton was reached during the week
, ended September 3, namely, 2,2So, 700
barrels daily. But this Situation
gradually began to right itself and.
| as the year closes. the demand and
supply in this industry has drawn
| more into line.
This has been reflected in the turn
FOR the better during the last three
months of the year, and the outlook
Tor 1924 in all basic lines of industry
the past twelve months.
The New York Curb Market really
came into it's own following the re-
/ moval of its place of business from
l -
Broad and Exchange place, to its
| magnificent quarters at rs Trinity
place, New York city, where it estab
ilshed itself on Monday, June 81, 1921.
Year Of Great Expansion.
| In summing up the progress of this
! organization during the year 1922 at
tention was called to it's rapid expan
! sion following Immediately the com
mencement, of business in it's new
| quarters. At that time renewed en-
thusiasm and confidence was born in
people interested in the vast number
OF securities which are dealt in on the
curb market.
| These investors and Spectators
were given the same PRIVILEGES en-
joyed by traders in stocks and bonds
listed on the New York Stock Ex-
change. The installation of a ticker
| service similar to that of the latter
| exchange is at the disposal of its
| customers so that transactions are
recorded within less than a minute of
the time of execution.
| Recently extension of this service
i to Boston, Philadelphia and other
large western and middle western
| cities has been considered. The idea
has materialized in Pittsburgh and
| Chicago with satisfactory results, and
! it will not be long before other large
| cities in this territory will have the
benefits Of the curb ticker.

forgotten, however, that it Is not the
curb market alone that has been
troubled with these undesirables, COM
monty known as bucket shop oper-
|ators. Other prominent exchanges have
been compelled to expel members who
failed to conduct their business ac-
,cording to required rules and regula-
tions. AS matter of fact only two
houses with direct membership on
the curb have been compelled to close
their doors In the last year.
The regular quota, is limited to $50
members, who operate under a consti-
tuition which provides maximum safe
guards for the investing public. In
addition to the regular members there
are some hundreds of associate men,
bers. This latter quota is composed
largely of New York Stock Exchange
members, who transact an immense
business in curb market stocks. The
demand for m embership in the organ
ization is greater than at any pre-
yious time. At the last sale ten
seats on the curb exchange were pur-
chased by men connected with stock
exchange firms, and this is given as
an example of the class of men who
operate on this market.
Curb On Ssund Basis.
Reviewing the year 1923, President
Curtis stated that the New York Curb
Market had placed itself on a sound
basis and that the general house,
cleaning is now beginning to show its
benefits by the class of securities
dealt in and by the large volume Of
business transacted.

GOOD TIMES AHEAD
IN PACKING INDUSTRY
Thomas E. Wilson Reports Busi.
nedd Sound and Earn
ings Fair.

Special Dispatch to The Star
CHICAGO, December 3i.-Thoma q
e. Wilson, president of Wilson & Co..
says:
THE packing business is in a.
Fundamentally sound position and the
companies should end 1923 with fair
earnings. There are some problems
nthe packing business today, Just
as in other industries, butl they are
being solved in a satisfactory man
ner. The fundamental condition of
the packing companies is stable. and
that is the main thing to be con-
sidered
Raw material costs are much
lower and selling price levels, which
show declines from peak prices rang
ing from 20 to more than 20 per cent
have resulted in an increased con-
sumptive demand, especially because
of the full employment of labor in
all industrial centers. Labor short-
age is not a serious factor in the in:
dustry.
Meat production during the year
was the greatest in the history of
the nation. and will exceed the year
1922 probably by one and one-half
billion pounds, owing largely to the
increase of pork production through
the buying and handling Of nearly
ten million more hogs than last year.
There has been q little overproduc-
tion of hogs and cattle, but the de-
mand for meat products has been we'll

The following is a comparison of the
number of issues dealt in as against
those at the close of 1922: Listed
stocks, 2S6. against 222: unlisted
stocks. go, against S5S; bonds, 1S5,
against 143. The listing committee
declined. to accept approximately fifty
issues of various companies. due to
their failure to meet the requirements
set down by this body. Included
among these were various mining, in
duotrial and oil stocks.
The nominal listing fee at the pres
ent time amounts to $500. but it is
learned on good authority that the
charge for admission of stocks to
trading will be increased to $500
some time after the first of the year
A clearing -ouse similar 10 that
of the New York Stock Exchange has
been established and over It's stocks
are cleared daily. 1t has been re-
ported that the formation of New
York curb exchange bank is under
serious consideration.
Such an organization would be of
great benefit to traders interested in
curb securities. Failure of the New
York banks to accept various curb
stocks as collateral for loans has
been one of the biggest obstacles
with which the association has had to
contend. Acceptance of curb stocks
as collateral for loans would go a
long way toward bringing about a
regular EaaTsinal trading basis for
those DESTROYS of dealing in this man
ner.
Evidence of the stability and worth
of curb market stocks is supplied by
the enormous number of securities
which have graduated to the New
York Stock Exchange. Before being
transferred spectacular advances were
recorded in many of these issues.
notably General Asphalt from 23A
to 161 y, Houston Oil from 121s to 172.
Hupp Motors from 8, to 141s and In
ternational Mercantile Marine from
less than 1 to 40.
Standard Oil companies are an in
stance of the class of corporations
whose securities are listed on this
exchange. The. curb has always been
known as the home market of the
Standard Oils. Despite the transfer
of several of these issues to the New
York Stock Exchange, the majority
remain and are dealt in actively from
day to day.
There has been no limit to the spec
ulative and investment opportunities
afforded those who were desirous of
trading in curb securities during the
last year. Price fluctuations have
been wide and as the year draws to
close numerous stocks are substan-

1923 SHOE TRADE POOR.
Footwear Business on the Whole
Proves Disappointing.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
: NEW YORK, December 31.-Trad-
ing in footwear during 1928, which
started off with good prospects, was
disappointing, on the whole. A de-
crease in business marked conditions
for the greater part of the year
especially after the first quarter. Fol-
lowing the completion of Easter
orders, spring demand was mainly
unsatisfactory and fall contracts de-
veloped late. One Of the features of
the year was the vogue for certain
specialties in women's shoes. A
phenomenal run on bright colors,
mostly in kid. was succeeded by a
strong call for suede calf. etc, and
all through the year unusual styles,
entirely in low cuts, prevailed. Mems
shoes ran mostly to staples, but the
exceptionally mild fall was factor
in reducing demand for these goods.
In general the footwear industry ex-
perienced fewer labor troubles in
1923.
