 One of these was Theodore Wm., Laward and another Carl Diem. The newspapers claimed that the money invested in training the team could have been invested to greater ad- vantage in military training for German youths.

Brokers' Comment

NEW YORK. December 24.-Many
brokers today were Of the opinion that
immediate movements IN the stock
market would be meaningless because
Of tax selling and indifference on the
part of traders. although a rally would
hot be surprising in view Of the i'm
proved technical condition of the
market.
jackson Bros Boesel & Cove
think that considerable allowance should
be made ct the present time for year
end tax selling.
Redmond & Co.-Unless some out
standing news develops, price move
ments during the holiday week are like
ly to be irregular and probably mean
ingless, although technical year-end
rally is likely.
Hornblower & Weeks-Both the ex-
tent and duration of the current decline
suggests an improved technical situa-
interest which has undoubtedly been
built up the past week. should shortly
result in a reversal OF recent market
action.
Eamershlag Borg & Co.-The trend
of the next few days is apt to give the
cue as to whether OF not new resist
'ance level must be found at lower
prices.
Shields &, Co.-Until more important
leSdership is witnessed. all active rallies
should be used to tighten holdings.

PRICE CUTS PUT OIL INDUSTRY
IN LESS FAVORABLE POSITION
Daily Loss of 100000 for Producers Is
Estimated on Basis of Recent Slash
in Quotations.

a few days ago that more than half Of
the crude production in Texas, Louisiana,
New Mexico. Oklahoma and Kansas is
now being run at materially less than
posted prices of that company. He
also said that the disregard on the part
Of some for State commissions allow
ables, the readiness with which injunc-
tons are sought and granted against
commissions orders and the failure Of
many Of the States to enforce gasoline
tax collections equitably brings about
wise for this company to continue buy
Ing at Its present posted rates."
Attitude Of onicials.
The attitude of the Governors of
Texas and Oklahoma, who have been
attempting to establish . sound pro
duction and marketing basis for crude
oil, in the face of the diScouragementS
that they have experienced, is the sub
ject of much concern. Owing to the
opposition they have met from certain
producers, who have t,ken q militant
and uncompromising attitude, 1t is be-
ieved in some quarters that these ex-
ecutives may feel like throwing up their
hands and making no further attempt
to aid an industry which Is dominated
by q spirit Of individualism. They may
feel that it may as we'll work out its
ow problem and, by q process Of over
production and price cutting. finally
arrive at the stage Of the survival Of
the fittest."
The tax question Is one that Is only
second in its disturbing effect on the
oil companies to that Of the cut in the
price Of their product. The present
average gasoline tax throughout the
country Is 5.14 cents q gallon, which In.
cludes the newly created Federal tax Of
cent q gallon. The Standard Oil Co. of
New Jersey recently announced that all
OIL taxes for 1s32-1933 would be nearly
81, ,000, 100000. The Standard OIL Co. of
Indiana has just sent a letter to its
shareholders urging them to appeal to
taxing bodies to discontinue what 1t
calls unfair raids on the oil business
and on motor vehicle owners. In the
first three months during which the
Federal tax went into effect. this cor
poration paid the Government $780,
600 In taxes. &,

Commodity Price
Trends of Week
BY H, N, McGILL,
Editor McGiu Commodity Service, In

Editor McGill Commodity Service, Inc.
AUBURNDALE, Mass, December "a.
Commodity prices during the past
week tumbled down hill at rapid pace.
The index for all commodities dropped
to the lowest level in five months. only
slightly above the extreme low recorded
last June. Whereas in the previous
week nine out Of fourteen individual
groups advanced. last week nine de-
clined and only one advanced.
The drop in the level of all commodi
ties was due primarily to the radical
decline in the industrial group. caused
by the severe break in the price level
of petroleum in the midcontinent fields
point. and live stock. another important
group, lost some ground. The other
groups that declined and were instru-
mental in reducing the level Of all
commodities were hides and leather, pa
per and pulp, fine textiles and vegetable
oils.
Industrial List Lower.
Industrial commodities broke through
the lows established last July. 1t IS In
teresting to note, however, that the
industrial group has held in close align
ment with the changes in industrial ac-
tivity in general During the first half
of the year the trend was steadily
downward From July through Sep
tember the first seasonal increase In
several years occurred in industrial ac-
tivity. This was accompanied by q 3
per cent increase in the industrial price
list. Beginning with the final quarter
industrial activity registered seasonal
decline and industrial prices, accom-
panying this movement, dropped 7 per
cent.
Agricultural prices, although lower,
held above the low point in early No
vember and 13 per cent above the July
low. There is no prospect Of farm re-
lief during the opening months OF 1888.
Therefore. the influences that are con-
trolling the price level are lack OF pal
ance between supply and demand
limited international trade. tarif1 bar
riers and f1uctuating exchange rates
Live stock also established new low
IN The unprecedented price readJust-
ment Cattle prices recently reached
the lowest point since 1896, while hogs
were the lowest In 81 years. Per capita
consumption of beef is declining and
the prospective Winter receipts Of cat
tie and hcgs assure a supply that will
more than cope with indicated con-
sumption.
Textiles lost considerable ground as
SPOT cotton broke into the scent flg-
,re. Rayon, wool and silk have shown
marked price stability.
Fuels declined more sharply than
any other group, due entirely to price
slashing in petroleum in the midcon-
tinental district. Prices of 32-32.9 de-
srees from level of "a cents dropped
to 81 cents, a new low in this depres-
sion.
The only group to advance was paint
materials, which registered only frac-
tional increase. rejecting moderate
strength in linseed oil and turpentine
The five groups which remained un-
changed were building materials. chem
icals. non-ferrous metals and coarse
textiles.
