Calendar Shares Interest
With Stock Ticker as

By the Associated Press.

NEW YORK, Dec. 17-Around
brokers' boardrooms thu calendar
shares interest with the stock ticker
among those trying to read the
markets future.
so well established is the tradition
OF year-end rallies in the security
markets many boardroom habitues
around this time quit listening to
economists and turn to the calendar
for guidance. Veteran traders, taught
by experience the market is no re.
specter OF traditions, are loath to be-
lieve in any such simple rules Of
thumb, although market lore is full
OF sayings for observance by those
who like rules.
Record Is Examined,
look at the record indicates why
the year-end rally tradition has be-
come so widespread around the board.
rooms. As pointed out by one analyst,
industrial shares on the average have
made their lows for December be-
tween the 18th and 22d Of the month
for the past eight years and then
have had rallies running from two
and half weeks to three and a
half months.
More significant than the calendar
dates to some analysts are upturns
from the November lows In basic
staples, such as cotton, corn and
wheat. A continuation of this re-
covery, price students noted, would
speed correction of disparities be-
tween prices of manufactured goods
and raw materials.
Prices Out of Joint.
The collapse in the commodity
markets this year threw prices out
OF joint, and industrial recession was
blamed partly on resulting differen-
tials between costs of manufactured
goods and returns on the major sta
pies Of world trade.
Government officials and econo-
mists have insisted the disparities
must be ironed out before trade could
be expected to flourish again. The
rise in important commodities indi-
Gates harmony may be restored by
that route in combination with low
ering Of quotations on manufactured
goods. Both tendencies have been
observable.
Recovery in essential commodities,
however, has been small in com.
parison with the April-November de.
cline.
