STOCK PRICE INDEX
REGISTERS DECLINE
Most Groups Start Week
Somewhat Lower Despite
Wednesdays Rally.
BY EDWIN NEWDICK.
Irving Fisher Service.)

Special Dispatch to The Star
NEW HAVEN, Conn.,, December a.
Most common stock groups declined last
week. The prevailing trend since the
bottom Of the break reached on Wed
nesday, November IS, was upward until
Thursday, November 81, which regis
tered the top of the recovery for most
groups, with recessions each day since
except Wednesday. There are, however
significant departures by certain groups
from this prevailing trend.
The motors group failed to sustain
its recovery as long as the market as
a whole. This group lost its upward
market.
Action Of Groups.
Five groups failed to participate in the
modest upward movement which took
place last Wednesday for common stocks
as a whole. These were rails, motors,
steels. stores and auto accessories. The
motors group is the only one to give
both these evidences of less favorable
performance than the general market
Four groups showed departure from
the general movement, which is, per-
hapS, of favorable significance, in that
they continued their advance on the
recovery one day longer than the mar
ket as a whole. These were the oils,
rails, foods and stores. OF these four,
only the oils and foods participated in
the advance recorded on Wednesday.
The oils and foods thus show the
most favorable departure from prevail
ing market movement, the most unfa-
vorable departure. 1t is further signif1-
cant that the oils and foods have de-
clined least OF all the common indus
trials during the past week.
The compact survey Of New York
Stock Exchange movements Of common
industrial shares Is given below in price
indexes O926 - 1000. There are two
indexes of market price movement. The
first C'ShareS Outstanding'D represents
all common industrial shares listed on
the exchange, the importance of each
stock being considered according to the
shares in existence or outstanding. The
second index ESQ Leaders, shows the
price movement Of the common indus
trial stocks most heavily dealt in dur
ing the week, this list changing weekly
with the shifts in trading popularity.
The Shares Outstanding" index
shows what a substantially representa-
tive 500 worth of stocks in 1926 would
now amount to If held unchanged since
that year. The 80 Leaders index
shows the result of reinvesting the 500
every week in the market favoriteS OF
that week.
The last column of the table gives
the rate Of return on the weeks SO

NEW YORK. December Bond
prices we're higher today in one of the
heaviest trading sessions experienced
since the recent period of acute forced
selling. The higher range extended
through all departments of the senior
market. The gains, for the most part
we're small.
With distress conditions practically
eliminated, and trading routine suffl-
GENTLY up to date to allow normal SeS-
sions this week. opinion IS inclined to
the view that the market is now firmly
on its feet and ready for the revival
predicted for it before last months
stock decline.
New Bond Issues.
There was a substantial budget of new
issues today. including nearly 10000
900 of Canadian provincial government
fiotations. One was for $6000.000 Brit
ish Columbia 513 per cent treasury bills,
due November IS, 1880, and 1881.
They were advertised as all sold. The
other was $3,495, 900 Manitoba 5 per
cents due in 1859. The long-term issue
Is legal for savings banks in Connecti-
cut, Maine New Hampshire and YER
mont and is non-callable. The price OF
both issues is 100 and both are offered
by Canadian syndicateS.
The City of Detroit offered S40Oo ,oOO
of 5l2 per cents. They are exempt from
Federal income tax and legal for savings
banks in New York, Massachusetts, and
Connecticut. Other new issues were:
Tulsa, Okla, $l,250000 Alps; Mobile,
Ala. 100000 SIS, and Hawaii, 100000
434s.
Around the middle of the month the
United States Government will finance
about $7oo,o00,000 of maturing obliga-
lions. Since the Government intends
issuing new non-intereSt bearing notes
for a part of this amount, bond men are
awaiting with great interest the Gov
ernments latest form of financing. 1t
is poitned out that it will shift from the
Government to the bidding Syndicates
the onus Of gauging the trend OF money
rates.
Rails and Utilities.
Today high-grade rails and public
with Atchison General As and Ameri-
can Telephone 512S both advancing
point and other like descriptions frac-
tionally.
The heaviest activity, however, was in
the junior issues of the carriers. Here
there were gains in st. Paul Adjust
ments, Chicago & Great Western As,
Erie General Lien As, st. Louis-San
Francisco 4L2s, Seaboard Air Line IS
and Rock Island 4l2s. Seaboard All
Florida "a" IS were up points.
Convertibles were slightly higher, but
not extremely active. Public Service of
New Jersey 412s were 5 points higher.
Foreign credits were mostly higher
with the rest of the list, brazilian IS
being the feature with point gain.
