CURB EXCHANGE

NEW YORK, Dec. 17.-Consctructive forces were at work in today's curb market, the general list moving to higher ground with buying stimulated by series o.A bullish demonstrations in the public utility issues. Oils dragged during the early part of the session but eventually pointed upward, Prairie Oil and Gas standing out with a gain of two points.
 Lehigh Power securities was the sen- sational feature of the public utility group, soaring seven points to a new high at 97 and closing near the top. American Light and Traction closed four points higher at 143 and American Power and Light showed a net gain of 3A at 63A.
 Radio issues continued to reflect the heavy Christmas demand for radio sets, Sleeper touching a new high at 16A on reports that November earnings will approximate $75,000 and Debilier Hazel tine and Ware each closing a point or so higher.
 Coal was pushed up five points to a new high at 132 in anticipation of an extra cash or stock dividend before the close of the year. Steady accumuIa- tion of the Curtiss Airplane issues sent the common stock to 15% and the pre- ferred to 58, both at new highs, in ex- pectation of an increased governmental and commercial demand for air craft. Other strong spots in the industrial group were Goodyear Tire, DuPont Mo tors, and Ford Motors of Canada the last named jumping 21 points to 523.
 The feature of the bond list was the heavy demand for International Match 6h's of 1943 which sold BE- points above yesterdays low at 114h.

NEW YORK, Dec 17.-Toreign n- nancing monopolized interest in the fn- vestment market today. Preparation1s were completed for the public offerinG tomorrow of $50,0000 900 Belgian loans in the form of 30-year six per cent bonde priced at 87h to yield about seven pr cent. Twenty-fold oversubscription of tho $11, ,O0O, 900 American portion of the GreQk government loan, repeating the succ@Qy of an earlier offering in London, M followed by the rise of the bonds t& - prmium of IA points, although t4ey subsequently, fell back to aroundt the offering price of sS. Allotments of fn4 issue, it was announced, would av&f4S6 about five per cent of subscriptio1S,%i N i
 Reports were current in the finakM4l district that bankers were about to 63- plete negotiations for $15 100000 tSXd to the Krupp works of Germany ttfYSl followed by the public offering of s6bhI z ities. The International Match corpj ti-s tion, controlled by Swedish intaSS&& will offer holders Toffts $15, ,000, ,000 61k& vertible 6h per cent debentures the right to exchange them into a new issue of participating preferenc shares.
 Bond prices in stock exchange trad ing held firm, but showed little change. Acceptance of the "Nickel Plate" lease terms by the Pere Marquette railway aided the bonds of the so-called Can Sweringen roads, the Erie general fours gaining a point. Magma Copper Is, moving up 1%, led an advance in cop per company lines, based on the rising price tS>.sS of the red metal and gains of point or so by a variety of other industrial liens.

COTTON DEVELOPS.
 STRONG ACTIVITY.
Houses With Wall Street Connections Reported
 Active Buyers

NEW YORK, Dec. 17.-Increased ac- tivity in today's cotton market was re- garded by local brokers as indicating that the continuance of bullish spot ad- vices and reports of improved demand for cotton goods had caused broaden ing of speculative interest. Houses with Wall Street connections were reported among the more active buyers on the advance, which carried March contracts up to 24.33c, or 37 points net higher and into new high ground for the present movement. The demand slackened some what at this figure and there was con- siderable realizing, but last prices were within 6 to 20 points of the best, March closing at 24.25c. The general market closed very steady at net advances or 27 to 31 points. .-
 The market opened firm at an ad- vance of 12 to 19 points in response to relatively firm Liverpool cables and overnight reports of a strong spot sit uation in the south. Considerable south ern selling here at the advance, pre- sumably in the way of hedging against the large spot business officially re- ported yesterday, was absorbed by trade buying and more active demand from commission houses or brokers with Wall Street connections. This led to Sov- ering by shorts and the market showed considerable strength at midday, Jan uary contracts advancing tos2o.92c and May to 24.7Oc, or about 34 to 3S points net higher on active months. Realizing became more active around these fig ures and fluctuations later were rather irregular, but further trade and com- mission house buying absorbed offer ings on comparatively moderate set backs.
 Advances in the grain market were among the factors on the earlier buying movement which was accompanied by reports that there had been a decided improvement in the demand for cotton goods in the market here since last Mon day morning.
 Exports for the day were 137, ,134 bales, making 3,949,S9 so far this season. Port receipts, 92,s50. United States port stocks, 1,502,794.

EXPORT SALES HELP LIFT GRAIN
Heavy Selling To Realize
 Profits Bring Setback Later

CHICAGO, Dec. 17.-Export business
 on a large scale helped to lift wheat and rye today to fthe highest prices yet this season, but heavy selling to realize profits gave the market a setback later. Wheat closed unsettled at 2hc net lower to 2sc advance, with Decem- Der S1.7Od1. .7Oh and May $1.47@1.47%. Corn finished 2l9c to 3sc down; oats asc to a4c off, and provisions varying from 5c decline to BOG gain.
 According to some estimates, new ex- port business today in wheat and flour was equal to more than 100000 bushels of wheat. With domestic milling for wheat said also to be active, the mar ket quickly began to climb. Meanwhile, reports which were current that Russia was purchasing large quantities of rye through Finland tended further to em- phasize talk of world shortage of bread stuffs. After all deliveries of wheat and rye. however, had outdone the sea- sons previous top quotations, sellers were in a majority
 Official denial was issued today by the federal government grain futures administration supervisor that one of the prominent traders here was holding the biggest line of wheat, rye and oats that probab ply one individual ever car ried in. the history of the Chicago board of trade, 40,O000,000 bushels of wheat, 15,Ooo0,OOO bushels of rye and 5O. .OOO 900 bushels of oats. The super visor said that such statements, which have been published here, are entirely without foundation.
 Corn selling of large extent from house that has been conspicuous on inc bullside of the market did a good deal to depress corn values, and oats and other grains as well. The unload ing of corn appeared to be of profit taking character. Argentine corn crop adyices were less pessimistic.
 Chances of a future shortage of hold ings were responsible for new high rec ord prices on provisions.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1924-12-18

NEW ORLEANS, Dec. 17.-The cot ton market was fairly active in today's trading, and prices developed further upward trend. The main stimulating influences were favorable cables and a continued urgent demand for spots, the interior markets reporting more demand than offerings at a constantly stiffen1ng basis. The March position at the hlgn- est of the early afternoon showed gains over yesterdays close of 41 points, and although some of the advance was later lost owing to selling to force reac- tian and rather good hedge sales against recent purchases Of spots, the active month nevertheless closed at net gain of 30 points.
 At the start, as cables were much better than due, the market opened at an advance of to Il points and the early trades proved to be the lows of the day with January at 23.90c, March at 24O1c and May at 24.29c. The mar ket advanced pretty steadily all morn ing and into the early afternoon, with only brief and moderate reactions un- til finally January at the highest traded at 24.23c, March at 24.33c and May at 2455c or 33 to Al points above yester- days closing levels. Prices eased off about the middle of the afternoon ses- sion of selling by traders seeking reaction and on hedge selling but ral- lied again at the end, the close show ing net gains for the day of 26 to S6 points.
 At one time during the early after noon it was reported that Wall Street and Chicago were good buyers probably on the advance in grains and firmness of stocks. The selling in the late aft ernoon was attributed to large operators who sought to force a reaction, but the market showed ready recuperative power.
 Exports for the day were heavy to- taling 1885 bales. Fall River reported a more active business predicting that the sales for the week would amount to 15O,0O0 pieces the largest business in sometime.

STOCKS

NEW YORK, Dec. 17.-The feature of the market today was not the amount of sellingG which came in around noon and most of which appeared to have local origin, but the fact that this sell ing made little real headway and was succeeded by a stronger tone at the close. Many traders expected that further pyrotechnics in Cast Iron Pipe and Worthington Pump would unsettle the general market. There is evidently short interest in Baldwin, American Can and American Woolen, which were jumpy, due perhaps to the run up in Pipe and Worthington yesterday. Wool has been a favorite short hedge sale for some weeks. The stock is now sell ing at around the best level since sus- pension of the dividend. We again call the attention of our friends to the sub stantial improvement in the Pan Amer ican Petroleum earnings. These stocks were relatively much more active today than most of the oils and to us appear to be in a better position for an ad- vance. When the market acts as 1t did late today, after concentrated selling, we cannot help but efel there is abso- lutely no reason to abandon the long side.-Steiner, Rouse & Stroock.

CnTrnN SEED 0II.

NEW YORK, Dec. 17.-Overnight gains of 16 to 2S points put cottonseed oil to new highs in the early dealings today. The west and shorts were prin- cipal buyers.

Tenders, 300 bar rels. Crude markets were firm. Prime crude 5000 sales and asked prime summer yellow spot, $1140; December closed, $11.5S; January, $11,6o; March, 11.S0; May, $1218 all bid.
