 Strikers Hold Meeting
 Last night a meeting of strikers was held at Foresters' hall, Ken sington. This, in itself. is nothing out Of the ordinary, since sessions are held at regular intervals. Off, cials at the Berlin Brick Co. felt that something was in the wind and the night watchman at the
 
 dredger in his rounds.
 Natchman Feels Force of Blast
 Stewart Wilson of the firm was in his office until nearly midnight and nothing amiss was noticed. The Waichman made his rounds and reported. After Mir. Wilson left tho Watchman again started on his rounds and he was just about to leave for the clay pit where the Iredger has been in use when he was nearly thrown from his feet by a terrific explosion. It is said that several men in the vicinity were completely thrown oft balance.

CHICAGO, Dec. 20 (AP)-Wheat
prices averaged lower today, in
f1uenced largely by persistent sell
ing on the part of traders who
sought to avoid financing wheat de-
liyerable on December contracts.
Closing quotations on wheat were
irregular, at 5-S cents net decline
to IA cent advance with corn 3-8
cent off to l IA cent gain, oats
IA cent to 5S % 3-4 cent up, and
provisions varying from 10 cent
drop to q. rise of equal extent.
Wheat deliveries here today on
December contracts totaled $4,000
bushels, although the contracts
time limit has still. two days to
run.
Talk of prospective Increasing
shipments of wheat from Argen-
tina and Australia, during the next
month especially, counted also as
q bearish influence, and SO likewise
did the fact that nearly half of the
north American wheat surplus is
still en- hand undispOsed of. Under
such circumstances May delivery Of
wheat here fell today to within
one cent of the seasons bottom
level, with July meanwhile estab
fishing a new low price record for
the crop.
Commission house absorption of
deferred deliveries of wheat be-
came feature nevertheless in the
last part of the day, and helped to
make the market look more two
sided. In this connection, good
deal of notice was taken of an an
nouncement that the German wheat
crop is officially estimated at 22,-

NEW YORK, Dec 30 (AP)-The
stock market displayed a complete
reversal of form today, rallying
sharply during the afternoon after
an early period Of weakness. In
the absence of any new develop
ment to explain the sudden up
swing in prices. Wall Street was
inclined to regard the recent re-
action as a technical one design
ed TO correct an obviously over
bought position. Early losSets in
many issues ran from one to five
points, but most of these were sub
stantially reduced, or wiped out,
and in many cases converted into
net gains ranging from fractions
to points. (
Spectators for the decline found
plenty of ammunition for their at
tacks in the days news, particu-
larlyl the decline in freight car
loadings for the week ended De-
cember 18, compared with the COR
responding week last year, the fall
ing off in steel production report
ed by the weekly trade reviews
and the publication of bearish
market forecast by q large invest
ment firm, not a member Of the
New York Stock Exchange.
Money Rates Firm
Money rates held relatively firm.
but no general reduction is ex-
pected until after the turn of the
year. While the volume of brok-
er's loans is causing uneasiness
in some quarters, hope is still held
out in others that the New York
Federal reserve bank and others,
will reduce their rediscount rates
in January.
The recovery in prices was led
by Standard industrials, such as u
S. Steel common, General Motors
Allied Chemical, American Smelt-
ing, and Baldwin, all Of which clos

SIGNS Of Financial Reactions in
1927 Fail to Affect Closing

NEW YORK, Dec. 20 (AP)--De-
spite one OF the severest reactions
in stock exchange history last
March, and indications of slow
ing down in some major lines OF
business in 1927, the general Level
Of stock prices at the close OF the
year is well above that at the end
Of 1925. Bond prices have risen to
the highest levels since 1913. In
both the bond aud stock markets,
the total volume of business IN
1926 was slightly below that OF
1925.
The major trend of stock prices
has been upward since the early
summer of 1924 although the big
"bull'' movement did not get under
way until after the presidential
election that year. At the begin
ming of 1926 prices were rising and
continued that way, with a few
minor Interruptions, until late5 in
February when a heavy liquidating
movement started, eliminating in
the disastrous March break which
reduced quoted values of listed Sc
curities, several billion dollars in
the aggregate.
Spring Markets Fluctuate
Alternate periods of weakness
and strength characterized the late
spring markets, with a rather def
mite upward tendency apparent
again by early summer. This con-
tinued until the early fall when ans
other sharp reaction took place.
In the closing months Of the year
prices started to climb again, the
industrial average touching the
highest level ever recorded in the
last month of the year.
While it is generally conceded
that the trend of business and
money rates undoubtedly will de-
termine the movement of security
prices in 1927, predictions of bank
ers and other competent observers
OF market conditions are more
qualified than usual at this season
OF the year, indicating widespread
uncertainty Those committed to
the cycle theory Of business, and
market trends naturally look for
downward readjustment Of values
while others see nothing in funda-
mental conditions that would war-
rant general recession, although
admitting that irregularities may
develop in certain lines. bo
Three principal sources of un-
easiness are: 1.-The huge volume
OF bank funds invested in securi-
ties; 2--the rapid growth of in
stallment buying, and, 3-the low
price of commodities, particularly
cotton. Inability of business and
commercial channels to absorb
the. huge imports of gold withlirnn
the IaSC rev years, neceSSlldlIHS 8
the employment of funds derived
from it's sale in the securities mar
kets, is believed to be responsible
for the gigantic investment OF
banks in stocks and bonds. While
methods of financing installment
purchases undoubtedly have been
improved and strengthened in the
last year or two, the extensive use
OF this method particularly in the
purchase of motor cars, radios and
other luXuries, is regarded as a
source Of danger in some quarters,
and it is generally conceded that
the real test of the system Will
