Ralls and oils Were in rather free supply and there was sporadic selling of fooa and motor accessory Bhares. The only group to show signs of strength was the cop- per shares, which were bid up on ports of import'in the industry as re- flected in the resumption of dividends by the Kennecott company. Losses of a point or more registered tn the early dealings by Chicago «14 North Western, Union Pacific and Northern Pacific, Oils offered better resistanc California Petroleum dropping a point and the others fractionally. Conti- nental Can was pushed up one, point to a new high record and the: dropped back two. Utah Copper im- proved 1% and Cerro de Pasco’ and Kennecott fractionally. Foreign ex- changes were firm. Early weakness of the rails caused a general sagging of prices ‘througl- out the lst. The speculative: uncet- tainty regarding the continuatice of the $7 dividend rate for Great North- ern preferred wis utillzéd by ‘bear traders as an excuse) for - uskaults elsewhere, representative shares jack- fing sufficient support to withstand the pressure. The quality of the buy- ing power at the lower levels, how- ever, resulted in somé short coyer- ing which turned the course of prices upward again toward noon. Great Northern preferred cancelled its early Joss and started to higher ground. Several shares displayed moderate strength, notably Mackay companies, which was pushed up 2%, and Amer. fean Can, Standard Ol] of New Jer- ney, General Electric and Peoples Gas, all up 1 to 1% points, Call money opened at 5 per cent. Isolated points of weakness per- sisted in the early afternoon market. ‘Tidewater O11 dropped 7 points, Kel- sey Wheet-5 and Continental Can and }- CHICAGO, Dec. 6.—Largely in re sponse to lower quotations at Liver- pool, the wheat market hers linder- went a modérate setback fn price to- day during the early dealings. An apparent lull in export demand, to- gether with something of a letup in the domestic flour trade acted also as bearish factors. On the other hand, strength in sterling exchange at- tracted sufficient notice to make wheat séliérs cautious, and to en- courage scattered buying. Initial prices» which varied from unchanged figures to %c lower, with May $1.14% @1.14% and July $1.07 to $1.07%. were followed by a slight raliy and then by a decline all around. Subdsequently the market rallied, with many traders looking for bullish developments in regard to farm legislation and piangs for governrient aid in financing {ts exports. Most of the price gains which wefe scored, however, came after definite word was received that farm credit bills had been introduced in the house and senate at Washington. Scantiness of rural offerings to arrive gave relative firmness to corn and oats, After opening %c off to a like advance, May 68% to 68%c, the corn market showed a slight general sag. ‘ Later the corn ridrket advance’ y with wheat.
