CLOTH MARKET
UNCHANGED

NEW YORK, Dec. % Q.N.SO.
The Gray goods markets were un-
changed today and generally
quiet. Although with a continued
business Of better proportions in
two or three print cloth con-
structions. It was estimated that
two or three million yards Of
print cloths were sold. A good
part Of these being for deliveries
running into the spring. Prices
showed a correspondingly firmer
condition on numbers so favored.
The sheetings continued dull,
with very little business passing
and with mills firm on the few
numbers where interest on quail
ity existed. BroadclothS were
quiet with some scattered small
sales made. Other coarse yarn
descriptions were slow and ur1-
changed.

CURB MARKET 7
DRIFTS OFF

NEW YORK, Dec. 23.-The curb
market resumed it's downward
drift to lower levels in generally
listleSS activity today with further
declines Of moderate propositions
the rule in the main body Of
stocks.
Despite the bearish effect which
yesterdays reactionary session
had conveyed to the financial dis
trict, there was noticeably good
support extended to the pivotal
trading leaders, and early selling
tended to dry up as the session
wore on. BulliSh quarters were
still insistent that the current set
back was the normal secondary
reaction following the sharp up
turn of last week, and that the
way was being paved for a further
sustained advance for the few re-
manning sessions Of the year.
On the other hand, professional
bears pointed out that the mar
ket had failed to receive support
At the points at which a normal
secondary decline should have
been checked. and in their opin-
ion the major downward trend
had been resumed. Regardless,
however, as to whether >)r not the
bear market had definitely culmi-
mated, the tendency Of the list to
firm UP at midday revived hopes
that holiday improvement was in
the making.
Utility issues were generally
lower, with Electric Bond and
Share fluctuating in rather er-
ratio fashion in sympathy with
the changing tone of the mar
ket.

GUT OUT
75PER CENT Of
GAIN s
Values of Listed Securities
Shrink as Sales Increase;
Leaders Near Low Prices

NEW YORK, Dec. 23.-Mon-
days final selling wave was ex-
tended into most sections Of the
speculative market today. After
resisting pressure in the first
hour, stocks moved downward
near the noon period, and further
losses of / to 3 points were Q re-
corded. These losses, in conjunc-
ton with Mondays late decline,
were sufficient to wipe out about
IS per cent of last weeks spec
tacular recovery and to bring
prices Of the leaders within a few
points of the low levels of the
year.
Weakness in the outside mar
ketS was again cited as the main
cause for the reactionary tone Of
the stock market. Lack Of Sup
porting" bids for active stocks per-
mitted a drop Of / to 5 points in
narrow trading of some Of the
smart steppers in the speculative
list. Auburn Auto fell about 4
points to 81 "a and ]. I. Case was
down 5 points at SO. U. S. Steel
below 1877 showed loss Of nearly
5 points from last weeks furry
and the active speciality and
utility shares were down 2 to 6
points as measured by the same
standard.
Tax selling and year-end even
ang-up of speculative accounts is
responsible for a good share Of
the the churning around Of the
leaders in a narrow price range.
Until definite signs Of industrial
recovery appears on the horizon,
no great demand for stocks is ex-
pected in Wall Street. The auto
mobile stocks gave a good account
of themselves today and the spe"
cialties were firm, while the
utilities were again on the down
grade.

By THE SPECTATOR

A sharp break in the clos
ing hours of yesterdays
market smashed the averages
Of 80 composite stocks, and
carried the list down to a
level but 31a points above
the extreme lows for the
year established last week.
While a secondary reaction
was more or less expected,
in view Of the sharp and
precipitate upturn of the
past days, Wall Street was
extremely disappointed at
the extent of the decline.
The one encouraging feature
of the day was the dullness
Of trading, which kept well
below the volume recorded
in the recent buoyant ses-
sions, an indication that
points more to offerings
from bearish quarters, rather
than to a resumption Of i'm
portant liquidation.

To Determine Trend

The market will demonstrate
by its action today whether prom
ises of rising market 'or Christ
mas and New Year are to be
fulfilled Brokerage houses have
been advising clients to take ad-
vantage of receSsionS for the pur-
chase of sound investment stocks
ever since the spectacular reversal
of trend last Wednesday. It re-
mains to be seen how traders
will act when offered the oppor-
tunity of entering new commit
rlents when prices have tumbled
down from their recent peaks.
The continued weakness of
wheat prices remains a highly
disturbing factor. Quotations for
July wheat dropped to the lowest
levels since 1901, despite stabiliza-
ton efforts of the Federal Farm
Board. With July wheat futures
selling at around IS cents q
bushel, it is impossible for the
farmer to make any profit on his
production efforts.
Rise Seen Due
It is rather difficult to make
any near term predictions for the
market, although mention is
made Of the fact that in no
year during which a pronounced
bear movement has held sway,
has the market over the past 80
years failed to end the year well
above the lowest prices reached
in December. Despite the pes
Simism which has reappeared in
financial quarters, market OBJ
servers are decidedly optimistic
on the possibility of further re-
covery before the year-end.
The purchasing power of the
1880 farm income will be approx
mately 80 per cent less than in
1929, according to current sur
vey of the farm situation. This
is due largely to lower prices of
agricultural products and the
greater relative decline in the
quotations of farm products as
compared with retail prices.
Average Yield
According to Moody's, the
average yield on all common
stocks on the New York Stock
Exchange at the recent lows ex-
ceed $50 per cent. This COM
pareS with 8.35 per cent on
December /, 1929, and with 9.92
per cent on August "a, 1921. At
the present time, therefore, the
peak. average yield in this bear
market closely approaches the
1921 peak, when money rates
were considerably higher than
those now prevailing.
