SWINE VALUES
RISE IS CENTS
Customary Light Saturday
Trading Prevails; No
Test in Sheep.

The usual Saturday light trading
in the hog market prevailed at the
Union Stockyards this morning, with
prices recovering from yesterdays
downtrend. The majority of classes
was approximately Is cents higher
Receipts were estimated at 1000,
compared with 10000 yesterday and
1000 a week ago.
The bulk, 160 to 200 pounds, was
selling at $3.50 to $3.50, with the
heavier grades, 200 to $50 pounds,
bringing $500 to $615. Top price
on a few choice kinds was $500.
Holdovers totaled 189.
Smaller grades, 100 to 100 pounds,
were salable at 1895 to $4.85. Elk
tremely lightweight pigs, scaling 100
to 100 pounds, were bringing $270
to 1910. Packing sows were quieter
at SIS to $5.75.
The weekend trading in cattle
was, as usual, slow. Receipts fell to
100 today, with the slaughter class
market nominally steady. Vealer
receipts also numbered 100, with
prices steady at 81 down. Extreme
ly dull trading brought no test in
the sheep market. Receipts there
totaled 100.

The Week in Review

Trading lightened on the Stock
Exchange in the past week as the
recent rally ran into profit-taking
that reduced prices moderately.
In the Tuesday session prices
broke sharply in the last half-hour
with volume large enough to cause
tickers to fall behind two minutes.
Before that it had been slipping off
gradually. 1t regained its equilib-
rum later, but there was no at
tempt to bolster prices.
Traders reasoned the market had
risen to a position where it was
subject to technical correction. They
tested it and found it vulnerable to
some extent. Offerings dried up
and a steadier tone was noted late
in the week.
While leading stocks such as
United States Steel, Westinghouse
Electric, American Can, Woolworth,
Allied Chemical, American Tele-
phone Bethlehem Steel, New York
Central, Chrysler, General Motors
and Atchison declined fractions to 2
points. A stable list Of lower grade
issues made gains.
Activity and strength were noted
in low-priced mercantiles shares,
many making new highs for the
year. Wilson issues made new highs
in the packing group and then de-
clined sharply Friday when the COM
pany announced its reorganization
plan.

United Press Financial Editor

NEW YORK. Dec. IS. - A few
special issues fluctuated widely on
the Stock Exchange today. while
the main list was dull and mixed
in narrow range.
Radio Corp. furnished excitement
reminiscent of the halcyon market
days, when it was traded in huge
blocks. 1t opened today at 5A, off
a, on $500 shares, then sold in
blocks of 1000 or more shares un-
til a big batch of orders was bum
died into a block of $4,000 shares
and thrown overheard at 5. There
it was off Il point and new low
for the movement, resisting further
pressure.
Meanwhile Radio preferred A
and B stocks were bid VI, leading
the outsiders to believe the COM
pany's recapitalization plan might
provide payment of arrearages on
preferredS in common stock.
Phillip Morris, Ltd, had the dis
tinction of being the one stock to
make an all-time high. 1t sold at
AIS, up 3ls points, in fairly active
turnover. Wilson A, which lost
heavily yesterday when the directors
adopted a recapitalization plan, was
steadier today. The preferred stock
which will benefit from the plan
through receipt of back dividends,
was firm.
Buying came into American
Wooden issues and the preferred
reached 1872, up 21a points.

eff our company now serv-
ing Tennessee could be given
the same subsidies which the
nations taxpayers are giving
the IVA" Mr.. Wilkie told the
writer in one of his rare inter-
views, I'VE could sell current
for household and commercial use
at a price lower than that set by the
IVA without reducing our net in
come applicable to common stock
dividends and surplus"
Private power companies" he
said, must build or buy their plants
with money borrowed from the pub
lie. They must earn enough to pay
operating expenses plus interest on
what they have borrowed.
THE IVA is starting off with two
advantages over its private COL
leagues, both given to it arbitrarily
and both disqualifying it as a yard
stick.
"First, the taxpayers have put
$60,000,000 into the Muscle Shoals
hydro plant. The plant is worth
that amount. The Alabama Power
Co. has offered to pay 4 per cent a
year, or $2,400,000, for the plants
power output. But Chairman Nor
gan told the House Committee on
Appropriations that the IVA will
value this plant, in computing rates
at only $4,000, 000-a write-down OF
two-thirds.
1.-The Federal Government has Of
fered to give outright, to munich
palities wishing to transmit and
distribute IVA power, 80 per cent
of the cost of the facilities they
must build, which permits them to
compute rates with a 80 per cent
write-down on these costs.
1.-THE two-thirds write-d down in
the cost of generation facilities at
Muscle Shoals plant, and the 80 pei
cent write-down in the cost OF
transmission and distribution Sys-
TENS, are an outright gift by the
taxpayers of the entire country to
the electricity users of the Tennes-
see Valley.
"a public venture subsidized near
ly so per cent by the taxpayers
through direct money gift, and hall
that through relief from taxation
can't be any honest measure Of
how much should be charged by
private companies who have no
subsidy and no tax relief" Mr.
Willkie summarized.
ITO call it such is unfair alike
to the private companies and to the
taxpayers who provide the subsidy
and pay the taxes the IVA will
escape"

LIQUOR SALES
IN WEST JUMP
Utah, Idaho, Montana Are
Expecting Record Holi-
day Trade.
By United Press

By CHited Press
SALT LAKE CITY, Utah, Dec. Is
Liquor dealers in three intermoun-
tain states expect the greatest vol
ume of holiday trade IN almost a
decade, a United Press survey re-
vealed today.
Operating without benefit of le-
gal sanction in Utah and Idaho
and in opposition to state monopoly
on sales in Montana, wholesale
dealers in the three states are ju-
biliant over prospect of greatly in
creased gross sales and more
intelligent public.
They're buying good stuff now
not moonShine," one dealer told the
United Press. And they know what
| they want"
During the year since almost
unanimous repeal hard liquor
purchasers in northern Rocky
Mountain States have developed a
highly sensitive taste.
You can't sell them anything
now, like it was a couple of years
ago." another dealer said. Then
they'd buy anything you offered
and be rather glad to get it.
But this year it's different. Most
purchases are made by trade name
The nationally advertised brands
are the most popular"
As evidence of improved eco
nomic conditions in the region
dealers were in agreement that
liquor purchases this holiday sea-
son are seldom made by the pur-
chaser doing his buying by price
rather than name.

SEN. FLETCHER
ASKS HELP FOR
SMALL BUSINESS
Citing Gravity of Credit
Problem, Says Congress
Should Act.
BY DANIEL NJ. KIDNEY
Times STAFF Writer

WASHINGTON, Dec. 15.-While
Secretary Roper's Business Advisory
and Planning Council deferred
scheduled statement of policy on
credits for small industries, con-
servative Senator Fletcher 3D., Fla) 4,
head of the Banking and Currency
Committee, today acknowledged the
gravity of the problem and said
the new Congress should do some
thing about it.
A report prepared for the Advis-
DRY Council in October showed that
the RFC and the Federal Reserve
Banks have failed to fill the credit
needs OF small industries.
1t recommended that the Govern
ment establish intermediate credit
banks to provide small industries
with long-term credit of as much as
two billion dollars.
The council was scheduled to act
on the report Thursday. but an
nounced after its monthly session
that the report was still being
checked by the central statistical
board.
The advisory council, whose men,
bership includes Pierre du Pont,
John j. Raskob, Gerard Swope and
Winthrop w. Aldrich, is predom-
inantly voice of big business which
was credited with thwarting a
small-industries credit bank set-up
in the last Congress.
DR.. Theodore N. Beckman, econo-
mist, who made the report for the
councils Small Industries Commit
tee, nevertheless predicted today that
his recommendations eventually
would be Endorsed by the council.
While he had not read the Beck
man report, Senator Fletcher said
the problem of small industries
credit is being repeatedly mentioned
in answers to his recent question
naire on banking needs.
while I said the other day we
should let present legislation on
banking have time to operate
without great changes this session,
1 feel that there may be need of
action for the small industries" he
declared. 1T may be that legisla-
ton is needed to set up a mort
gage corporation within the RFC.
"At any rate, I think the RFC
can be used as the machinery with
out another separate banking or
ganization."
Dr. Beckman's report contends
that no RFC Set-up would suffice.

SEARS CREATES NEW
SUBSIDIARY COMPANY
Purpose Is to Find Foreign Markets
For Products, Officials Say.

By Times Special
CHICAGO, Dec. 15.-Incorpora-
ton of a new subsidiary for foreign
trade has been announced by Sears,
Roebuck & Co. The new unit is
known as Sears International Inc,
and will be headed by George F.
Dixon, formerly with the General
Motors Corp, it was learned today.
The purpose of the new company
is to find foreign markets for Sears
manufactured goods, the announce
ment stated Officials refused to
