NEW YORK, Dec. % up = Wall
street witnessed an old fashioned
christmas market today in u. S. Steel
common, which ran up Az points to
154%, in a wild outburst of buying in
the last hour of trading. The rest of
the market was rather mixed, due to
heavy pre-h holiday profit taking, but
the average of 20 leading industrial is
sues set a new high record for the
sixth consecutive session. Trading
showed q further contraction in vol
ume, the days total falling below "a
million shares.
Talk of another stock split up and a
more liberal dividend policy accom-
panied the rise in Steel common. In
banking circles it was learned that a
successor. to the late Elbert H. Gary
as chairman of the board already had
been decided upon, and that the Of
ficial announcement would be made
following the directors meeting next
Tuesday Wall street was still guess
ing as to who would be the new head
of the corporation with q belief in some
quarters that the successful nominee
would be ozark horse" 1t is gen.
orally believed that President James
A. Farrell will continue as operating
head of the organization.
The general market displayed a
strong undertone .in the face of an
$86,OOO,O 900 increase in federal reserve
brokers' loans to new high record
and the marking up of the call money
rate from AZ to per cent. The
higher call money rate was the natural
sequence of the heavy withdrawals of
holiday currency, and was not accom-
panied by any widespread calling OF
loans. Time money and commercial
paper rates were unchanged. Resump-
ton of dividends by the Amoskeag
company after long suspension of
payments and brisk rally in cotton
prices, contributed to the days cheer
full sentiment.
The violence of the advance in many
issues, and the collapse in some of the
insurance shares led to considerable
reduction of commitments by conser-

GRAIN MARKET

CHICAGO, Dec. % P9-Big arrivals
of corn today, together with weather
conditions likely to facilitate the move
ment of the crop, did much to pull
down corn values today Liquidating
sales on the part of holders of corn
led also to weakness of other grains.
Closing quotations on corn were
heavy, Ia4c to 23sc net lower. Wheat
finished al-7sc to 1asc off, oats tsc to
IL -13sc down and provisions varying
from 7-10c decline to a rise of &c.
In addition to the corn market pres
sure which resulted from numerous
owners of corn future delivery con-
tracts becoming pessimistic about
profits, many sales we're automatically
brought into operation by standing
orders to stop corn losses at various
fixed limits Offerings were noticeably
increased after the posting of figures
which show that primary receipts of
corn today totalled, 1,674,000 bushels
compared with 1,229000 bushels a week
ago and with 1,063,O00 bushels on the
corresponding day last year.
Expectation of larger run Of corn

end selling of 100000 bushels into store
here today tended further to pull
values down. Final quotations were at
about the days lowest level but con-
siderable notice was being taken of the
fact that some corn export business
had resulted from the break in prices.
Cash corn in the sample market here
was easier with the trading steady
to two cents lower, The baSis at the
Gulf of Mexico was off half cent.
Export bids were reported as fairly
strong at Kansas City. The govern
ment pig survey indicating IL per cent

tually ignored for at least the time be-

Wheat and oats declined owing
largely to the lunsettling effect Of corn
weakness General demand for wheat
was ar-.aletic and export call for
wheat from North America appeared to
be virtually at a StandStill, despite ad-
vices telling of decreasing stocks at
Liverpool.
Provisions averaged lower, the pig
survey being construed as an incentive
to sell.

Now a def ought to be n serious

Coincidence Anent Hermann.

1t is a rather unusual coincidence
that in the same year that Ban John
son resigns as president of the Ameri-
can League, and almost within fort
night of the time his resignation took
effect. another leading figure in base
ball, Garry Hermann of the Cincin-
natl Reds. retires from the game.
Hermann was chairman of the ma
tional commission when johnson was
most active in advancing his league.
There had been some disaffection in
the National League because its club
owners thought that Hermann was
dominated by Johnson. This was ac-
centuated in 1918. when the players
''struck" in the world series. National
League men did not like the way that
matter was adjusted.
Herman finally was served notice
that the National League wanted him
to withdraw as a member of the ma
tional commission, and his tardiness
in doing so created bad feeling and in
directly its result was the bringing
into base ball of Judge Lands. Herr.
mann had long reign as head of the
Cincinnati club, and his only success
was in winning one pennant.

Newark Good Ball Town.
Those acquainted with conditions
in base ball believe Johnson has made

the best base ball cities in the country
outside of the big leagues and If he
enjoys a fair degree of success in his
venture should build up a tremendous
following
1t is regarded as a fact that there

League nor American Association

haitian side of the Hudson.
Just how Walter will shape up as
team leader Is Conjectural. Some of
his best friends in base bali are in
clined to he a hit dubious on that
score owing to his we'll known easy
going disposition, but just as many
other admirers are insistent that
given the authority and bearing the
responsibility OF Barney will prove
adequate as a disciplnarian. They
contend this will prove all that is
necessary for his success as a boss,
for there is little knowledge about how
base ball should be played that he
hasn't absorbed in his more than
score of years as a major league star.

YF' the Pittsburgh base bali club can
effect a profitable exchange Of
players involving its star out
/ fielder Kiki Cuyler, it is probable
that he will lie traded. If a trade
Of players cannot he arranged on q
basis helpful TO the Pirates, there /
o large probability that Cuyler Will
stay right where he is.
From that it would seem that the
Pittsburgh club holds Cuylcr at better
advantage than appeared when he
was not PLAYED in the recent word
series That is not wholly true. The
fact is that the Pirates were doinS
so well with the men they were using
TO win the pennant that there was
no disposition to change any of them
when the seris began. In the out
field, Barnhart was batting bettec
than Cuyler had at any time. Lloyd
Waner was fully as good or better
center fielder and much better bat
tar. Paul Waner was Il better player
in every way and always had been.
