BY A. M. PATTON,

NEW YORK, Dec. 25.-Commodit,
prices turned up this week after l;
consecutive weekly declines.
The previous three months of slid

| weighted index Of IS important staple
down more than IS per cent.
The weeks upturn was general
Gains outweighed declines approx.
mately three to one among commodi-
ties making up the index.
This measure Of staple quotations
rose to 7488 per cent of the 1926
average from 1856 . week ago (the
years low and compared with ss.5z
last year.
Inventories Reduced.
The improvement was said in COM
modify circles to have stemmed in
large measure from reduced inven-
tories
Under the leadership Of steel scrap
and hides, industrial staples made SUBJ
stantial gains. The former has risen
slowly for several weeks, with steel
makers believed to be building stocks
in anticipation Of some improvement
in demand
Shoe manufacturers: the largest
users of hides. were reported to have
stepped into the market, as result
OF low inventories. Rubber, btu
minous coal and antimony alsot moved
up notch, while tin slipped back
fractionally.
Agricultural items were generally
higher. The grains. with wheat, oats
and rye in the van, led the process
sion as demand picked up. Cotton
and hogs also moved ahead, while
cattle, lamb and corn weakened.
Food Prices Improve.
Market-basket staples, eggs, cocoa
coffee and lard. were stronger. Gains
in this group were sufficient to offset
recessions in flour and butter.
Textiles continued to advance for
the third consecutive week, with wool
trending higher.

based on 1926 as 100, compared as

Sox Beset
With HoIdouts

CHICAGO, Jan. g. Holdout
trouble beset the management of
the Chicago White Sox today.
Zeke Bonura, who has been
stubborn every year since the Sox
obtained his services, Second Base
man Jack Hayes. Shortstop Luke
Appling, and Pitcher Thornton
Lee, obtained from Cleveland in a
trade last month, are being diff
cult. J. Louis Comiskey revealed.
Bonura returned a contract call
ing for a boost to $4,000 with a
bonus clause. Hayes returned a
document calling for similar
emolument, Lee baked at the
salary offered, and Appling, Amer
icaE League batting champion, is
just plain indifferent.
Appling, who received $4,000
last year and presumably was
given a raise in his new contract,
has not returned his contract nor
has he conferred with his en-
ployers.

Werber Signs S
With As

Old Connie Mack, of the Phila-
delphia AS, has one player under
contract for 1887, if he never gets
another.
He is Bill Werber, acquired in
that December Philadelphia-BoSton
trade which found Frank Higgins,
third-Sacker, going to the Sox in
exchange for "Berwyn Willyum."
Werber signed his Philadelphia
contract shortly after he received
it. He was so pleased with the
terms he put his signature on the
dotted line quicker than ever has
been his will in other years.
When with the Red Sox, it is to
be remembered, Bill always had
trouble. The Sox never would meet
his terms satisfactorily at the
start. But Connie Mack-well,
Bill says the old gentleman Is the
finest in the business.
Werber, who lives at Berwyn,
Md, in the off-season, is in great
shape. He plans to refrain from
winter workouts before going to
training camp because he believes
he's in such fine trim.

The two games will not lack for

as powerful as in other seasons,
will present Quantrille, Colley and

plebaum, Vermillion, SilverStein
and Matera.
Westerns array will be led by
Burns, Dewitt, Schulz and He'll,
