tail buying was irregularly dis
turbed, with some centers report
ing the best trade ever done, Whlle

Influences were the low price OF
cotton, which slowed trade in the
southwest; reduced automobile pro
duction schedules, with consequent
unemployment; numerous bank
failures in the middle west and cur
tailed lumber mill operations ON
the north Pacific coast. Sales OF
/ jewelry, cigars and confectionery
were about equal to a year ago,
and hardware and radio moved
well. Staple lines were rather
quiet, except where, as in the

CHICAGO, Dec. "a (AP)-Large
deliveries of wheat here today, a
week ahead Of the time limit for
filing December contracts, tended
to make wheat prices average low
err. The wheat market as whole
finished. irregular at as cents down
to Is cent up, and provisions show
ing a rise OF 25 to 35 cents.
Wheat traders appeared to be
concentrating mere on Christmas
preparation than on pit develop
ments, but nevertheless took due
notice that December deliveries
here today, 358,000 bushels, were a
handicap to the buying side of the
market. Another bearish factor
was an estimate from a British
trade authority that the Argentine
exportable surplus Of wheat this
season would be 16G,000,000 bushels
a total 100000 bushels in excess
of his latest previous forecast, and
sc, 100000 bushels more than the
surplus last year.
Talk was current, however, that
owing to shortage Of European
wheat demand might well be ex-
pected to prove larger. Helped
by such reasons and by evening
up of accounts so as to be prepar-
ed for the holidays, wheat values
showed more or less rallying pow
er as dealings neared the finish
Word that Argentine wheat is 13
cents a .bpshel below wheat from
the United States and that large
amounts of new wheat are moving
out of Austria to Europe had nc
apparent lasting effect on values
Colder weather expected to bring
about larger arrivals of corn here
gave a downward slant to the corn
market and to oats as well.
Provisions were responsive to
the government report on the pig
crop and to an upturn in the hog
values.

NEW YORK, Dec. "a (AP)-
Wall Street witnessed an old fash
toned "Christmas market" today
which brought cheer to most every
one but "bear" traders. While
trading was not as brisk as it was
earlier in the week, the seasonal
contraction in volume was less
marked than usual. Closing quo
tations disclosed long list of net
gains ranging from one to five
points, with many of the high pric-
ed industrials issues setting new
high records.
The market paid little attention
to outside news developments, al
though a reduction in the call mon
ey rate brought encouragement to
SPECTATORS for the advance, who
expected the high rate to be main
tanned until after the turn Of the
year. The weekly clearing house
statement, which was issued after
the close of the market instead OF
Saturday noon, the usual release
date, showed a sharp increase in
reserve, indicating that holiday de-
mands for funds had not caused
any strain on the credit situation
Retail Gains Seen
The weekly mercantile reviews
reported little change in the gen
eral business situation with none
expected until after the first OF
the year. Retail trade generally
was believed to have established
new high records during the week
although local conditions caused
some curtailment in the purchas-
ing power of the southwest, north
west and some of the automobile
centers. The last of the so-called
christmas dividends was "a
cent extra on Texas Corn Pro
ducts Refining common, but there
are several special dividend pay
ments in prospect by other large
railroad and industrial corpora
tions during the next month OF
two. The rise in many issues ap
parently is based on expectations
of these distributions.
U. S. Steel common and Genera
Motors resumed their places as
market leaders, the former show
ing an extreme gain OF nearly
Winslow daily mail., 1926-12-25

statements indicated NO strain on
the credit situation.
In the foreign exchange market,
the chief development was the stab
ilization of the French franc around
the four cent level. Sterling eX-
change was firmer, with demand
bills running around $4.S4%.
The principal commodity markets
disclosed Slight gains on the week
A bullish government crop report
helped the wheat market while the
cotton market was influenced by
the belief that the years surplus
OF the commodity would not be as
large as was indicated by the
government crop reports.
