TREND IRREGULAR
IN CURB DEALINGS.
Profit Follows Bid.
ding-Up 0perations-0iIs
Hold Their Ground.
BY WILLIAM r. HEFFERNAN.
nisnntnh 10 Tho ctar

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, December 5.-Irregu-
larity marked the movement of prices
on the Curb Exchange at the start
of the week. For the first hour the
main body of stocks displayed the
same characteristics it had throughout
the preceding week, namely another
record breaking volume, accompanied
by many new high records. But SIS
the session progressed profittakinE
developed in many quarters, and sub
sequent developments indicated that
the speculative element was divided
as to the immediate future price trend.
There was nothing that was not al
ready known to account for the new
high records established in the issues
selected for leadership. They were
merely moving forward simultaneous
ly under the momentum gathered on
previous days and because of reduced
floating supplies it did not take a great
amount of buying to bring about ma
terially higher levels.
Bancitaly Possibilities.
Stock dividend possibilities was still
the incentive for the demand for
Bancitaly shares, which were carried
forward more than A points. Increased
earnings and new incoming business
was responsible for the demand for
Mengel Co. at rise Of 6 points.
Borden Co. was rejecting benefits
to be derived through the consolida-
ton with the Reid Ice sCream Co. and
was 4 points above last weeks final.
On the basis of earnings present and
prospective, American Cyanamid "B"
was thought to be selling out of line
and was bid up 3 points. Prospects
~ AZ viynf inv in yHS.ff NJ ilt
stock dividend distribution was the
incentive for the buying of Safeway
Stores. All of these issues were sell
ing at their best for the year at one
time or other.
United Verde extension reached
new peak but came off over more
than the ground gained later when
profit taking became urgent. Lehigh
Valley Coal sales broke sharply and
some uneasiness was expressed over
the future dividend policy of the COM
pany. The place of prominence main
tanned for the past two weeks by Ford
Motors OF Canada was given over to
other specialties and the price moved
over a narrower range.
Curb Oils Steady.
Weakness in a number Of oil shares
on the Stock Exchange failed to have
a sympathetic influence on the leaders
of this group in the Curb Market, and
prices were fairly well maintained.
Salt Creek Producers sold at a new
high for the year, but Improvement
was limited to fractions.
Among low-priced issues heavy
transactions occurred in Canadian
Marconi. Negotiations are said to be
under way between this company and
Radio Corporation interests looking
toward establishment of the first di-
rect short-wave commercial radio sys.
tenn between the Dominion and the
United States. Radio Corporation,
through one Of it's subsidiaries, is said
to control a large block of Canadian
Marconi stock.

IN COTTON MARKET
Selling Is Promoted by Rela-
lively Easy Liverpool
Cables.
By the Associated Press.

NEW YORK, December 5.-The
cotton market opened barely steady
today at decline Of 10 to Is points
under Southern and local selling,
prompted by relatively easy Liverpool
cables.
January eased off to 1927 and May
to 1851. Net declines Of 20 to %
points on active months, but these
prices brought in renewal of cover
ing, and trade buying also was re-
ported. This steadied the market and
caused rallies Of or points from
the lowest by the end Of the first
hour.
Private cables reported spot offer
ings were being slowly absorbed, with
the futures market lower under liqui-
dalton and London selling.
The market subsequently eased un-
der liquidation and some further
Southern or local selling, which may
have been promoted by private re-
port estimating the crop at 13,184, 900
bales and ginnings prior to December
at II, 900 bales. 1t was pointed
out in connection with these figures,
however, that the estimate showed
reduction of 388,000 bales as compared
with mid-November figures by the
same authority, and the market was
shade steadier at rallies of 4 or
points from the lowest around midday.

WHEAT TURNS DOWN
ON LIVERPOOL NEWS
Shipments to Britain Are Factor.
Corn, Oats and Provisions
Also Easier.
BY the Associated Press.

CHICAGO, December 5.-Infiuenced
by unresponsive cables from Liver
pool, the Chicago wheat market soon
turned downward today after an ir-
regular start. Relative weakness at
Liverpool was ascribed to SOC, 900 BUSH
els increase Of the amount of wheat
on passage to Great Britain. Opening
at 70 decline to a advance, Chicago
wheat hardened a little but then
underwent general sag. Corn, oats,
and provisions were also easier, corn
starting unchanged to n off and sub.
sequently showing further losses.

NEW YORK, December Sit may
have been the influence of continued

market in check today. a1.>s reduced
the volume of transactions. The re-
newal rate was Az per cent 1t has
taken somewhat longer for money to
return to the banks after the first of
the month distributions than had been
anticipated
Trading was considerably less than
in the latter part of last week. Fluc-
tuations were small, but In the
main, prices held steady.
The demand for good bonds, where
the price was regarded as in line with
older bonds, was illustrated in the re-
ception given the $40, 1000, 600 issue of
Alabama Power 41as. These. were Of
fered at 94&4. Most of the recent
public utility 412s have been put out
around 96. Consequently this issue
was eagerly taken, and advanced
quickly to a premium Of point over
: the Offering price. Other and older
Apublic utilities were likewise strong.
! bonds went to the best figures of the
year.
In this were Denver Gas 5s at 1011
Utah Light & Traction 5s at 9S1a and
Newark Gas 5s at 106. Illinois Bell
. Telephone SIS touched 106. Both Phila-
detphia Electric and DuQuesne Light
4 as were around their previous best
, levels. The unlisted Public Service of
: New Jersey 412s were close to par
. compared with the original price two
. weeks ago of 9S.
: Several of the better grade rails
allowed fractional advances, among
them Union Pacific 4s, Northern Pa
cific As, Baltimore & Ohio Southwest
ern 5s, Mobile & Ohio AIS and South
ern Pacific 41as. Chesapeake Corpo-
ration 5s touched par for the first time
in some weeks. The St. Paul junior
bonds were active and strong, West
srn Maryland As reached new high
price of SS and Missouri Pacific As and
Erie 5s were firm. Florida East Coast
5s, on the other hand, suffered fur
ther decline, due to poor earnings,
lowest of the yea and better than
6R per cent income basis.
The United States Government mar
Ike. was irregular. Opening on about
Saturdays closing basis, all of the
Treasury issues declined about Is per
cent.
!. The interesting feature in the for
eign government market was the Of
fering of Irish Free State 5s at 81. to
yield $40 per cent. This compares
with a price of 97A on the latest Aus
atralian SIS and of about 95 on the New
South Wales 5s. German issues were
little changed, Italians showed the eff
feet of political uncertainty, French
were slightly higher and most Of the
South Americans up a little.

MOdernizing Old Set.
With the production of many new
acts for the Fall and Winter ~eason ii
is natural that the forward-lookin:
radioiSt should give some thought tn
the matter of rebuilding the old set to
make it more up-to-date. 1t is durinc
this rebuilding process that he will
he able to decide more conclusively
whether or not it is an advantage to
him to trade in the set. Unless ne
makes certain Investigations along
lines of Improvement he is not likely
to know just how far the new sets
are ahead of his present equipment.
In great many instances the proc
ess of trying to rebuild the old set en-
rhasizes the distinct advantages of
the newer equipment and enables one
to take advantage of opportunities
with new sets which otherwise might
he overlooked. In considerin" the
dea of rebuilding the cd set it nlso is
possible to borrov' a number Of good
ideas from the newer equipment,
One of theS> has to do with appear
ance. II the truth were known most
people trade in old eq inment not so
much because they are not getting
good service from the old set, but
rather because it's apDeara is not
quite up to the mark. Appearance
counts vsry largely in radio in any
thing else in our modern American
life This being the case, why not
make special effort to revamp the
old set more with the idea of making
it more prosentable"
One of the ideas which can he Dor
rowed from the 1928 radio models Is
that of setting a table model radio re.
ceiver into cabinst. A number of
the table mod IS are rot especially at
tractive now that we are accustomed
to seeing things in cabinet form. And
vet these table models can be fitted
into cabinets and improved at com,
paratively little cost.

 Gen. Wood Criticized

Boston, Jan. 31 R-Col. Carmi A. Thompson of Cleevland, O., who re- gently surveyed conditions in the Philippines for President Coolidge today told the Republican club of Massachusetts that much must be done before the islands can be given their independence.
 Complete independence Is impos- sible now but while we are prepar- ing the Filipinos for government we should not reduce the internal autonomy which they have been granted. unless their own conduct should make this necessary" Col. Thompson asserted.
 Touching upon the breach between Gov. General Leonard Wood and the legislature he declared it had reach ed the stage where no constructive was possible.
 He described the governors ad- visers, popularly known as his "cav- airy cabinet" as men of Splendid records and gentlemen of the highest type" but declared, "it
