STOCK PRICES

Trading Turns Dull, However,
on Approach of the Christ

New York, Dec. 23.-(R-Stock
prices continued to work higher in
today's market, but trading turned
dull on the approach Of the Christ
mas holiday. Call money was
marked up to five per cent due to
the heavy seasonal Withdrawals of
currency, but there was compare
lively little calling Of loans. Acute
weakness cropped out in several of
the insurance shares. which had re-
corded sensational gains earlier in
the month.
Bullish activities were confined
largely to the coppcrs and select
group of other industrials, Curtis
Aeroplanc and Underwood Type
writer. General Motors and Pitts
burgh Coal, which were sluggish in
the carly trading, rallied briskly in
tho early afternoon. Rails were
rather quiet although steady &C.
emulation was noted in Atchison,
Rock Island, New York, Central,
and Frisco, common.
Except for the announcement of
several railroad car orders and the
resumption Of dividends by the
Amoskege company, there was little
business in financial news to influ-
ence the price movement. The stabil.
ity of the market in the face Of a
sharp increase in brokers' loans and
per cent call money helped to main.
tain bullish confidence, although ar
increasing number of commission
houses continued to urge q restric.
tion of commitments on the theory
that the technical position of the
market had been weakened by the
recent sharp advances.
The closing was firm.
Bullish demonstrations were
started in a handful of favorites

American Republic, Postum, Radio
and Chrysler.

Chicago, Dec. 23.-sF-Coyn led
q general downturn in all grain
prices today. Numerous owners of
corn future delivery contracts were
letting go Of their holdings and
pressure on the market was in
creased by offerings Of corn on
which there were orders to sell out
and stop losses at various fixed linn
its. Some export purchasing of
corn resulted from the break in
prices.
Corn closed heavy Il: to 2Ss
cents net lower; wheat =. a Is to Is

down; and provisions varying from
z to 10 cents decline to rise Of Z
cents.
Suggestions Of holiday conditions
were apparent in all the grain pits
today, and with the volume of bust
ness light prices were easily in
fluenced. Foreign buying Of wheat
over night appeared to be Of only a
limited character, and this circum-
stance gave some advantage to the
selling side of the wheat market
here Notwithstanding that advices
were current telling Of decreasing
stocks at LIVERPOOL.
Liberal receipts Of corn in Kan
sas City, Omaha and Chicago today
had Z bearish effect on the corn
market, and so too, did favorable
weather over the corn belt. Buying
support was mainly from commits
sion houses with standing orders to
