BROKERS' OPINIONS

(By Abbott, Hoppin 4 CO..

CHICAGO. Dec. 9.-Anotner very quiet
session in wheat and for the third day in
succession prices show very little change
Grains seldom lay becalmed for very long
however, and this state of stagnation has
become so extended as to presage a very
definite move in one direction or the other.
Such move should be upward. but If it
should happen o be downward due to
selling by Impatient longs would regard
ownership then more attractive than at
present as fundamentals strongly intimate
that values are scraping economic bottoms,
and this, in my view, also applies to corn.

unusually early this year. other
wise there was little in the news.
Scattered selling met every rise.
A light corn movement caused
more support but the market did
not advance far. Oats partook of
the strength in corn. Rye was firm
with wheat. Provisions recovered
part of an early loss.
Wheat closed unchanged to 4

higher; rye 4 to q cent higher.
and barley unchanged. Provisions
were about steady.
Sterling was unsettled but despite
the fact that it recovered early
losses, Liverpool was unchanged to

export business was claimed. The
weather is very cold in the south

not believed to have done any good.

Corn displayed a desire to adj

NEW YORK, Dec. 10.-A squirt in
the last hour Of trading Friday
carried prices on the New York
Stock Exchange up l to more than
3 points with trading increasing on
the advance.
Earlier in the day the market
moved irregularly with dealings
about the same as Thursdays pace.
Steel common at one time was down
to BIZ, off rs. 1t later rallied to-
ward "a.
The turn in the trend was
brought about largely by technical
considerations, although many IA
vorable factors appeared in various
sections.
Bond Market Strong
The war debt situation was
clearing up with indications France
as well as Great Britain would
meet her Dec. Is obligation. Presi-
dent Hoover laid down his plan for
government economy that would do
much toward helping balance the
budget. The weekly federal reserve
system statement was considered
favorable.
Other items aiding the market
included stronger bond market, with
one United States government issue
making a new 1882 high and an
other equaling its high; rise Of
nearly a cent in the pound sterling
firm cotton and grain prices; a
better showing in telephone losses
by the Bell system; a rise in &C.
ment prices; and announcement by
General Electric Company it would
distribute to it's stockholders its
100000 odd shares of Radio Cor
poration stock.
Equals 81 Share
The latter distribution will
amount to more than SGT 1000 900 or
nearly dollar on each share of
General Electric.
On the adverse side were several
items of Importance, although they
were ignored by the market. Safe
way Stores reduced its dividend
from SIS annually to SO, but this
was in line with expectations and
the stock rose when the news was
out
The copper conference apparently
ended in disagreement without adj
verse effect on copper shares. Iron
and steel scrap at Youngstown
weakened and the steel industry
generally was in the year-end dol
drums. American Telephone Octo-
Der net operating income declined
sharply and Sears Roebuck sales re-
coded nearly 20 per cent for the
year to date as compared with a
year ago.

Second Base

The competition for the second
base post has been very keen, but
I have had an added advantage
this year in seeing so much of
Tony Lazzeri, whose comeback to
the ranks of baSeball's headliners
has been one Of the real features
Of the season. 1t seemed a year
ago that Tony was through, just
as it Semed that an ailing arm
might end the career of Charley
Gehringer. Both came back hand
somely.
These two, with Cissell, of the
Indians, and Cuccinello, of the
Robins, have had good seasons.
I have picked Lazzeri over the
others on the general steadiness
of his fielding and the powerful
hitting which has been RESPONSE
BILE for more runs driven in than
were accounted for by any of the
other outstanding second base
men.
(Tomorrow Ruth will discuss

THUNDER CLAP
AIDS FISHERS

Fishing by electricity is the
latest fad in the Adirondacks.
During a thunder storm a few
days ago which prevailed over the
Upper Saranac Lake sector, a ter
rifle lightning bolt struck the wa
ter near "Grey Rocks" camp on
Doctors Island.
So fierce was the impact that
water spouted for many feet into
the air, carrying with it great
numbers of fish Of the fresh
water smelt species.
Mrs. Charles Marvin Of Grey
Rocks camp, witnessing the phe-
nomenon, put out in a rowboat
and picked 26 good sized srnelt.
Other nearby campers followed
suit and nearly 100 fish were
captured before they recovered
from the stunning effects of the
lightning bolt.
Old guides and fishermen
stated that the lightning has the
same effect as explosions of
dynamite under water which is
illegal,
