STOCKS IRREGULAR"
IN QUIET SESS|OI,,

NEW YORK, December 23.-The
stock market hung up its trading stock
ings and adjourned for Christmas to-
day after brief session which was
spotted with profit taking in yesterdays
buoyant gamers, While there were a
number of scattered advances, the close
was somewhat irregular. Transfers ap-
proximated 10000 shares.
The market plodded along quietly in
the early part of the session Metals

in tobaccos carried over from yesterday.

New Jersey and Public Service of New

Owing to the fact that the Treasury
was closed for the Christmas holidays
no gold price was announced and the
previous rate of S3406 an ounce con-
tinued in force. Most foreign exchanges
opened quietly, the British pound ster-
ling being quoted at S5.l034, up y cent,
while French francs were unchanged
at 6.1112 cents.
Aside from the silver influence, vari-
GUS political and trade factors were
being studied by market analysts. There
Congress would perform. Brokerage
circles were also wondering whether
legislation pertaining to the regulation
of speculation would be enacted The
opinion was general that there would

pected that many of these would be
introduced.
Wall Street noted reported remarks
Of the President that he hoped a world
wide silver agreement could be ex-
tended to other monetary bases. In
some quarters this was interpreted az
meaning a desire for currency Stabili-
zation, although it was pointed out
that the Chief Executive did not use
the word gold.

ten regional offices. Then he will have flying squadron operating wherever situation develops. MT Roosevelt, as wartime assistant secretary of navy, had a group of naval officers who became expert in warding off grating contracts. Some of them are being rounded up for this work. The task is dele- gated to two such men. One is Captain Harry Collins, who worked on English claims after the war, left the navy and went into private life as civil engineer. He knows the contracting game from both sides. Another is D. s. Nugent, former navy commander who worked with Roosevelt on navy contracts.
 The aim is to prevent graft, rather than to deal with 1t after it has appeared.
 One thing Glavis will be on the lookout for will be trick specifca- tions, drawn so that only one cor poration can qualify for contract. an old trick in government work. Another will be the time-worn practice of providing for more ma terial than Is needed on a partic- ular job.

Mir Jor- dan, the president of the National Industrial Conference Board, states that 'the opportunities for bureau cratic waste and graft, implied in the vague grants of powers under these measures, are 50 vast as to create the possibility of pork barrel paradise unprecedented In this or any other place in the world. Taken in conjunction with the farm act and the securities control act, which are inscparable from it, it is, in fact, not a piece of legislation at all. in the usual sense of the word, but a general and practically unlimited grant of pow CT to persons largely unspecified to reorganiz,e control, and administer the entire economic system of the nation"

WOOL MARKET

Boston, July 19-(UP)-Wool prices were steady and firm in Bos- ton to-day and demand was fairly regular despite the firm market. Aggregate poundage sold, however. was smaller than in recent days. Texas fine staple twelve-month wools sold at 75-77 cents pound clean basis. Average 12-month wools brought 73-75 cents. Ohio delaine best grease wools were quoted at 32 cents, with a 31 cent minimum for ordinary types. Half blood combing Ohio and similar description wools sold at 31-32 cents; three-eighth blood at 35 or better; quarterblood at 35. Terri tory fine staple wools sold clean at l,75-7S cents; halfblood at 75-77; three- eighth blood at 6S-70; and quarter blood at 64-65.
 The U. s. Agriculture Depart ment said:
 "A fair demand is being received on average French combing 64s and finer territory wools at mostly 74-75 cents, scored basis, for orig inal bag lots. An occasional odd lot can be had at around 73 cents. while clothing staple and defective or inferior wools bring 69-72 cents. secured basis. Good French comb Ing lots occasionally bring 76-77 cents, secured basis, with offerings
 containing strictly combing staple
 realizing 77-7S cents from some
 buyers. Ordinary twelve months Texas wools have a fair call at IA

Smashing Drops In Market Late To-day
 On About All Issues
Repeal Stocks Had the Toboggan By From $ to zl Points--The Main Stocks Lost to Points Wheat and Cotton Also Crashed Down

market for the group.
 As the selling gathered momen- tum in the repeal stocks, other sections of the list softened because of slight nervousness. However, main list resisted pressure, and 1t was influenced for more by the weakness in commodities than by a break in issues which were recog- nized by the experts to be selling far out of line with all common sense valuations.
 Tickers fell behind IS minutes or more, adding to the confusion in the financial community. Traders in the dark as to what was trans piring on the floor sold rather than risk a sudden, wide crack in the general price level of the market.
 There was another item that caused traders to think and that was an indication of a letdown in the uptrend in major industries. It was considered too early to judge the indices, but 1t was considered significant that steel operations turned down for the first time since the upturn began March 21, last, and electricity output dipped be- low the week ended July l. Earn ings reports for the second quarter made Q good showing in line with expectations.
 The break in the alcohol shares was the widest of any group. Am- merican commercial alcohol was was off 30 points from its high of the year and 22 points from the previous close. National distillers was off 8 similar amount while U s. industrial was off 24 points points from the years high.
 Standard Brands, the recent wet favorite because of its indicated intent to enter the liquor field by manufacture of gin when and if prohibition is repealed, dropped 6 points, off more than from its recent high. On the basis of stock outstanding it showed a net dip in value of shares of more than $107,000,000. On the same basis Commercial Solvents was down about $54,000,000. Nine recent fa- vorites in the wet division showed drop in market value of around $200, 100000. That is relatively small as stock market values go since most of the group have small capitalization.
 Such issues as U. s. Steel, Ameri- can Can, American Telephone Westinghouse Electric, Allied Chemical. Montgomery Ward, Gen. eral Motors, National Biscuit, Du- Pont and General Electric declined 2 to nearly 5 points each but to- ward the close came back from the lows.
