Flurry of Hangover Liquidation Fails to, Halt General \F Upward Trend New York, Dec. 19.—(#)— The; sweeping advances in security prices were well maintained in Saturday's/ session despite a flurry of hangover) liquidation in shares in the last: few! minutes. Railroad securities, both stocks and bonds, were swept upward, on top of Friday’s wide advances, by news that Daniel Willard of the Baltimore &; Ohio had assured President Hoover he was confident of successful ter- mination of the negotiations for a wage reduction. { ‘The selling in shares in the last few minutes, however, reduced or can- celled the earlier gains, many of which had ranged from 1 to 4 points. The close was irregular, with narrow gains and losses for the most part. ‘Trading was active, the turnover for} the two-hour session aggregating} some 1,500,000 shares. Norfolk and Western pushed up 4 points. Three-point gains in Union| ¢ Pacific and Santa Fe were sharply reduced. New York Central and Southern Pacific lost about half of extreme gains of 2 points. American Telephone turned heavy,, losing 2 points. Standard of N. J. was also sold in some volume, losing! about a point. United Corp. prefer-/ red was also a soft spot, off 3. Beth-} lehem Steel closed off a minor frac- tion, after getting up a point. Foreign markets improved, in re-; spol to Friday's upturn in Wail) Street. The outlook for certain com-| modities was also regarded as much brighter, notably copper. | FINANCIAL REVIEW New York Dec. 19.—(?)—Wall Street | has patched the holes in its Christmas | stocking. There may be a Santa! Claus after all, and it wouldn't do to be caught napping. ‘The stocking sorely needed mend- ing, Frayed and worn by the steady} wear of the last month, it had fallen| into such evil days that some were) wondering how much longer it could | hold out. But the repair squad got; busy Friday and strengthened ae worst breaks in the fabric. Whether the work done will be durable remains to be seen. Anyway, the financial community reached the week-end in a happier frame of mind.. The most encouraging feature of Friday's general recovery was the boom in bonds. ‘Extreme weakness in the investment market had been re- garded as 2 most unfavorable symp- tom, for it meant fixed income secur- ities were failing to attract buyers/| even at prices which in many in- stances represented virtually receiv- ecsitip levels; and even the gloomiest. pessimists have not felt hundreds of; the country's leading corporations | faced such dire straits. | Bonds have been struggling against several odds. The strong desire for liquidity among banks, as the year- end approaches, brought out a con- stant dribble of selling which fell on a very timid market. The price weak-/} ness was due, however, to the thin- ness of bids, and it was to remedy this condition, Wall Street understood, that important banking interests de- cided to support bonds in which they | were interested. Liquidation in stocks probably pre- sented the type of offerings _ which usually appear at this time of year, chiefly of the income tax loss variety. The extreme hesitancy of buyers was/| well illustrated in the sharp declines; by many preferred shares concerning’ whose dividend safety there is no ser- fous question. However, the market was at all times orderly. To the business world the week brought no important change in| trends. Money reflected seasonal influences. ———$___—* | Produce Markets | Oo _—_ ?* CHICAGO Chicago, Dec. 19.—(?)—Butter was | steadier in tone Saturday, despite 1 heavy fresh receipts and prices were) 2°’ unchanged.

Considereble spreading be- tween Winnipeg and Chicago also was under way in wheat and with vagaries 4 lof Canadian exchange rates, had an unsettling effect. Reactions in New York stock market quotations were likewise stressed by grain bears. Wheat closed nervous, 4-1% under Friday's tsb, May 56%-7s, July 2-1 lower, May 4113-%4, July 42 , Oats unchanged to 's off, decline to an equal advance. Upturns in wheat values following early setbacks carried the market {Soon to a cent a bushel higher than Friday's finish. One reason given was that te crop condition shown in the government report as to United States winter wheat outdid lowest figures for many years back and in- dicated that deteoriation was con- tinuing. It was pointed out importing coun- tries were likely to lower their tariffs or to increase their allotment of for- eign wheat and that North Ameri- cen grain seemed likely to be taken. Germany in particular was referred to a8 a potential buyer, as German wheat stocks were diminishing and rye stocks small. Corn and oats followed wheat mar- {ket changes.

Five of them testified they had seen a fight between Nelson and Sivert Armstrong, farmer near Wolford, which county officials believe resulted in Nelson’s death. The men fought at intervals jin Wolford most of September 26, the | last day Nelson was seen alive, ac-/j cording to testimony given by the wit-| nesses, some of whom said the men! were under the influence of liquor, according to Casey. H Two witnesses, Frank Taylor, a, horse trader, and Martin Schmaltz, ; farmer near Wolford. testified they saw Armstrong and Nelson in a car the evening of Sept. 26 after a day lof fighting. Armstrong was driving and Nelson! was in the back seat covered up and did not move when they talked to him, the two witnesses testified. The car was about three miles north of | Wolford at that time. { Earlier in the day, Pat Traynor, in| whose hayloft Nelson's body was/ found, and Arthur Roberge, laborer on the Traynor farm who found the remains, testified. Neither was able to tell when or how Nelson got into; the loft, the state's attorney said. Meanwhile, Armstrong was being| held in the Pierce county jail for; questioning.
