MONDAY, DECEMBER 24, 1928 WHEAT PRICES DROP DUE'TO BEAR NOTES: Big Supply Reports From Southern Hemisphere Causes Downward Trend Chicago, Dec. 24.—(#)—Sellers had the advantage most of the time in the scanty transactions which took Place today in the various grain pits. Despite reports of some wheat Dee. crop damage caused by alternate freezing and thawing in Kansas and Missouri, more attention was given to evidence of piling up of supplies both foreign and domestic, with incomplete figures, pointing to @ probable large increase of the United States visible stock on Wednesday. Besides, deliv- eries of wheat today on December contracts here were of liberal volume. Totaling 257,000 bushels. Wheat closed unsettled at the same as Saturday's finish to tec to ‘sc lower (December 1.141: to March 1.18's to 1.18%, May 1.20% to 1.21, July 1.21%). Corn closed unchanged to ‘sc off (December 84% to 84%, March 87%, May 90% to 90%, July 921%). Oats ‘closed a shade to %c down (December 47%, March 47%, May 48% to 48%). Provisions closed unchanged to a rise of 25¢. Today’s wheat trade advices cen- tered a good dcal on news from below the equator, where newly harvested wheat is now beginning the main movement to importing countries. In this connection the combined surplus available in Argentina and Austarlia was estimated today as aggregating 330,000,000 bushels, compared with 280,000,000 bushels cleared this season from both countries. As against this showing, leaders on the bull side of the wheat market to- day said that the apparent deadlock which prevails regarding wheat indi- cates full recognition of all bearish factors on one hand, an on the other @ current idea among professional traders that these bearish factors are too powerful to allow the market to @dvance. Meantime European con- sumers are buying for only immediate needs, and are not accumulating |. stocks during this period of heavy world shipments. In corn, December was showing rel- Btively more strength than May. Oats averaged slightly lower, sympathizing withwith corn. Provisions were somewhat firmer.

TWO ARGENTINIANS KILLED DURING RIOT San Juan, Argentina, Dec. 24.—(%) —Two persons have been killed in a clash between two political factions, one composed of followers of Presi- dent Yrigoyen and the other anti- Personalistas. Several persons were wounded in the encounter which oc- curred in the railway station. -The station was thronged in expectation of the arrival of Modestino Pizarra, federal intervenor. Soldiers and mounted troops were rushed to the scene and took up strategic positions around the station dispersing the crowd. The station was placed under guard and no one was permitted to enter it until after sample New English Primate 68 |COrporation merger will be accompa- Has Painful Sickness Canterbury, England, Dec. 24.—(?) newly enthroned archbishop of Can- terbury, who is suffering from in- ternal inflammation, was described as being in less pain in a medical bulle- tin issued this morning.

Buying orders were distributed over a fairly broad list of issues, but bullish activities centered Principally in stocks likely to benefit by holiday trade, or those in which special developments are reported to be pending next year. Trading was only moderately heavy in volume. Call money renewed at 9 per cent | and appeared to be in fairly plentiful supply at that figure despite the call- ing of about $10,000,000 in loans. Time money rates held firm. Placing of Anaconda copper com- Pany stock on a $6 annual basis, as against the former rate of $4, was about in line with Wall street’s ex- Pectations, and was followed by the traditional “selling on the good news.” Wall street heard today that the pro- Posed Victor Talking Machine-Radio nied by a 5 for 1 split-up of Radio corporation common and the issuance of @ new second preferred stock, whereupon one share of new radio common, one share of new radio sec- ond preferred and $5 in cash will be exchanged for each share of Victor. Wide swings again took place in the high priced specialties. Interna- tional Harvester ran up 1714 points, and Sears Roebuck extended its gain to more than 12 points. The rise in Allis Chalmers, which soared nearly 10 points to a new high at 172, was based on reports of a rapid expansion in its new Caterpillar tractor busi- ness. Otis elevator, Goodyear rub- ber, and Columbia carbon each jumped 7% points to new high rec- oo at 265, 124 and 127%, respective- ly. Motor shares were heavily bought in anticipation of record breaking business next year. Chrysler, with a gain of 5 points, was the leader. American International ran up 5 Points to 145, a new high, in antici- pation of a 2 to 1 stock split up. Christie Brown, R. H. Macy, National Biscuit and St. Louis Southwestern all recorded large gains. Recent rumors of a merger of Col- umbia Graphophone with Kolster Radio were unofficially denied, and both stocks fell back. Case Threshing broke 9 points. With the bulls in control of the price movement, General Motors in the late afternoon sold at 197, exactly 15 points above last Monday's low figure. International Harvester ex- tended its rise to more than 20 points, while Du Pont climbed 15 and Na- tional Tea 10. Gains of 5 to 6 points were registered by American Express, Gold Dust, Vanadium Steel and A. M. Byers. Prairie Oil & Gas, which was admitted to trading last week, declined to under 60.
