DUNN's REVIEW

NEW YORK, Dec. 26.-(special)- Dunn and company's current summary of general business, FOLLOWS in part:
 As the end of the year approaches. there is much satisfaction regarulhs business results and in those hhes which have not participated to any great extent in the improvement re- gently witnessed, indications are unus- uaIIy favorable for material broao- ching in activity early in the new veaN. when annual inventories have been completed. More seasonaDie weather in many sections, the payment of large sums in the way or bonuses by banking and trading concerns ana inc release by banks of Christmas saw ings funds, have greatly stimulated re- tail trade during the past two weeks and holiday sales at practically every important center have exceeded prev ious records. In most wholesale ue- partments, due largely to the fact that travelling men are nome TOT tne tsnc, no days and business houses are devoting attention to preparations for tnven- tories. the customary quieting down Of this period Is noticed, but the confident feeling and optimism with which the future is regarded, presents quite marked contrast to the situation that prevailed a year ago. With all grains,
 
 products selling at the most remunera- tive prices for several years, and the consequent improved financial position of the farmers, there Is a steadily broadening call for all kinds of com modities in the. rural communities. Furthermore, many of the important industries have benefited as result of the growing demand and rising prices for iron and steel, copper, tin,- zinc, lumber, and other basic materials. This gives assurance of steady employ n.ent for labor and that collective dis tribution of all kinds of commodities will be maintained. It is significant, that while many buyers continue to pursue a hand-to-mouth policy in their operations, an increasing disposition to anticipate requirements is becoming plainly perceptible. Evidence of this is seen in the fact that the great move ment of merchandise, which usually falls off at this period, continues in almost record volume, bank clearings remain exceptionally large, and visiting merchants in the principal wholesale markets are reported to be much more numerous than customary at this period.

 FRESH ADVANCE
Gains Of 1 To 4 1-2 Points Carry Several Issues
 To New Highs

NEW YORK, Dec. 26.-Resumption of trading in the bond market after the Christmas holiday was marked iV 8 fresh advance in prices under the leadership of the copper liens. Net gains, ranging from one to A points in the active issues, carried number of convertible bonds to new high prices for the year.
 Magma Copper 7s led the upward movement, squirting AZ points to Q 1924 top price at 130. Smaller gains by Chile sixes and Anaconda sevens were in line with the general buoyancy of copper stocks. .e
 Railroad bonds displayed a firm tone with trading featured by rise of 3h points in Norfolk and Western con- vertible sixes to a new high level at 133k. Among the other issues which gained q point or 50 were Katy" ad- justment 5s, Erie convertible fours 'D', Chesapeake and Ohio convertible 5s and New York Central stxaA
 Sugar company liens also gave . good demonstration of group strength, Warner refunding Is, Punta Alegre 1s and Eastern Cuba H IFS moving up one to 1% points, were the iaders.
 The holiday interruption forced . Hull in the new financing. Negotiations for a $3,000,000 ten-year 2 per cent loan to the Saar district of Germany by . syndicate of New York and Frankfort bankers were said to be nearing com- pletipn.

 NEW YORK, Dec. 26.-The raw su- gar market was quiet and 1-32-cent higher today. An early sale of 15,O0O bags of Cuban was reported at 4.6Sc but later 33,000 bags were taken by a local refiner at 4.65c, an advance of 1-32-cent.

WHEAT MARKET CROSSES Sl.SO Buying Based On Lower Estimate Of Argentine
 Export Surplus

CHICAGO. Dec. 26.-Besides crossing above S1. 80 for the first time, the wheat market today shattered sall high price records this year. New buying was based largely on ant estimate that the exportable wheat surplus looked Tor m Argentina would amount to only 112,- 000, 900 bushels. Rye as well as wheat went beyond previous top levels Wneat closed strong 3A to AZ net higher, May s1 .SOM to $1.S1A and July $1.54% to 1.54h. Corn finished 1h to 2N up. oats showing 1% to Pc gain and pro- visions at a tide varying from F to 49 cents.
 At first the wheat market displayed a downward tendency as the result Of d little selling to realize profits, but a decided upward swing took place us soon as the news from Argentina be- came current. Fears expressed that domestic winter wheat would be dam aged by ice which covered many fields were also of considerable effect as an incentive to purchase. In some quar- ters a reaction was looked for when the market erached $1.S0, but instead the offerings continued relatively small and the advance went briskly on.
 Closing quotations on all future de- liveries of wheat here were the tip top both for the day and the season too. It was pointed out also that No. red wheat, the regular Chicago con- tract grade was sold on track here to- day at as high as $1.91 bushel. IA cents premium over December delivery, a new peak for 1924. At the same time, May delivery showed about cents advance in the last three days.
 For the most part corn and oats de- rived their strength chiefly from wheat. The government report on prospective hog supplies had only a transient weakening effect on corn.
 Provisions although weak early. were later responsive to the upturn in grain.

JANUARY CLOSES 4OPOINTS HIGHER
Ease With Which Notices
 On 10000 Bales Are Stopped Is Feature

NEW YORK, Dec. 26.-The ease with which January notices aggregating TO- GOO bales were absorbed featured to- days cotton market. The notices were promptly stopped by several of the large local spot houses, some of which, possibly representing third or the total, were credited with acting for New Orleans account. Several houses were active buyers of January, both on and after the opening, which gave the contract especial strength and car ried 1t up to 23.90c, or 40 points above the previous close, with March selling at 2425c, or 85 points net higher.
 With few exceptions, the market maintained firm undertone all day and was fairly active, the south, west and Wall Street buying quite liberally stocks and the continued firm attitude of southern holders who are fortified by a strong financial position. While rot particularly large for the day, ex- ports are still practically a million bales ahead of last year, and the fact that Europe was a buyer here during the day strengthened the situation and the aggressiveness of bull traders in the local market. As a partial offset circles and the Fall River sales of only 25,OOO pieces for the week, it was re- ported that a New England mill inter- est had fixed prices on about 5000 May.
 Highest prices of the day were reached in the afternoon when local shorts became rather anxious buyers and there was a renewal of bull SUD- port based on the general feeling that textile business would improve after the first of the year. Although a lit- tie under the highest of the day, final prices were still IF to 30 points above the previous close, with the tone very steady.

STOCK


 NEW YORK, Dec. 26.-While discus sions center upon the prospect of large amount of profit selling" in Jan uary, prices of the more active stocks remain remarkably firm and the under lying strength of the market Friday was the kind which will discourage speculative selling and encuorage hold CTS of stocks to "stay putt General Motors, a notoriously slow mover, suo- 6enlv became active Wednesday and to- day crossed 65,. shooting up more cas- fly than it has for months. We be- lieve that 1t is one of the outstanding purchases on any reaction. The excei- lent annual earning statement of Hud- Son Motor is a strong point in favor of that stock. Dividend resumption and the advance in copper to 15 cents per pound, has strengthened the bullish- well of Chile Copper and believe in higher prices for this stock.-Steiner' Rouse & Stroock.

DRY GOODS

NEW YORK, Dec. 26.-Post holiday trading in the cotton goods markets was quiet and no price changes of any moment were reported. Openings of mems wear for 1925 probably will be delayed until the latter part of the month. Raw wool markets were quiet and steady. Raw silk advanced lit- tie abroad but remained unchanged here. Buriaps were quiet, due to hol- iday observance. Fall 1925 unit under wear was in moderate demand. Addi- tional lines of fancy knit outerwear for spring were sold.

Stock market averages:
CURB EXCHANGES

NEW YORK, Dec. 26.-The upward movement of stock prices was resumed on a broad and active scale in today's curb market with the public utility shares giving the best demonstration of group strength. National Power and Light advanced eight points to 2lS' CorIimonwealth moved up 7% to 132h and net gains of to Az points were recorded by American Gas and Elec- tric., American Power and Light, Le- high Power securities, Middle West Utilities and several others.
 Oil shares failed to participate as ex- tensively in the advance as the other groups although new gains of one to five points were recorded by Magnolia Petroleum, Prairie Oil and Gas and standard Oils of Indiana and Ne braska.
 Speculative interest in the industrials was divided between Goodyear Tire and Rubber which advanced 1h points to 26% and Ward Baking, which climbed more than points to 43. Strength and activity of the copper shares, which sold around the years best prices, was the feature of the mining list.

NEw'oRLEANs COTTON

NEW ORLEANS, Dec. 26.-The cot ton market developed a much better tone today than had been looked for owing to the prompt stoppage of a this and in the New York market. Today was the first notice day for January deliveries and the notices cir culated locally called for 35,000 bales while in New York notices for some thing over 100000 bales were issued. All the notices were promptly stopped in both markets and out of the total stopped by a New Orleans firm through their New York office. Prices ad- vanced right after the start which was somewhat irregular. owing to the fact that Liverpool was still closed. At the highest reached in the after noon, March traded at 24.1Sc, or 30 points above the close of Wednesday. Prices eased off moderately from the best of the day near the end of realizing.
 At the start prices were 4 points down to up and the early trade proved to be the lows of the day with January at 23.68c, March at 23.S8c and May at 24.20c. The market soon started to advance and kept moving upward gradually during the session until the middle of the afternoon, January traded at 24.01c, March at 24.1Sc and May at 24.46c. or 26 to 33 points up from the lows.
 [ The market eased off some in the late trading on realizing and the close showed net gains for the day of 14 to IT points.
 The stimulating influences in addi- ton to the stoppage of the notices in cluded the firmness of the stock mar ket and the making of new high levels by wheat and also the good mill talk ings for the week of 388,000 bales against 269,000 last year.
 Exports for the day totaled only II $50 bales but the total for the week was 126,924. Exports for the, season to date now exceed those of last sea son by 1,012,122 bales.

WOOL REVIEW

BOSTON, Dec. 26.-The Commercial Bulletin tomorrow will say:
 Business has been limited by the holiday and the general let-up due to January inventories. Prices, however are maintained substantially without change in the domestic market, all though somewhat lower abroad (where they were relatively high) per haps five per cent down from the high point.
 Manufacturers report some taperine off in light weight business but look for a good demand for heavy weights on which they have anticipated theiI requirements to a fair extent in a mum. Der of instances.
 "In the west, contracting has slack. ened but prices are firmly maintained on the basis of last weeks quotations and growers frequently are asking somewhat higher prices. Mohair is steady though rather slow"
