Bear traders, taking advantage of the stiff call money gates and the apparent break- down of the latest negotiations for ‘a settlement of the anthracite miners dispute, sold stocks rather freely during the morning, but offerings were generally well absorbed, Weak- ness persisted however, in a few Issues, National Cloak and Suit breaking 4% points to 59%, and the preferred 3% to 9214, both new low prices for the year. Norfolk and Southern, United States Distributing and Liggett and Myers “B’ also were heavy, Resumption of bullish operations in several specialties and a steady demand for high grade in- dustrials eventually turned the course of prices upward after mid- day. Ingersoll Rand soared 6% points to anew record price at 104. Loose Wiles Biscuit jumped 64% and International Business Machine 4%, while American Can, DuPont, Gen- eral Electric, International Paper and Pressed Steel Car sold 2% to nearly 3% points above yesterday's final quotations. NEW YORK, Dec. 22.—(#)—Price movements lacked uniformity at the opening Cf today’s market. Fleisch- mann jumped four points and Pos- tum Cereal and Hudson each ,ad- vanced a point but Pan-American “B", Colorado Fuel, United States Rubber and Marine preferred opened a point or so lower. Trading, which appeared to be largely of a profes- sional nature, was in reduced vol- ume. Bear selling which apparently was inspired by relatively stiff call money rates, came to a halt when a bullish demonstration started in Hudson, carrying that stock up five points, Chrysler quickly converted a loss of 1 points into a gain of 3% and Can- adian Pacific, General Electric, Gen- eral Motors and Pressed Steel Car advanced a point or so with the gen- eral market firming up in sympathy. Rails were relatively quiet, moving within rather narrow and irregular limits. Foreign exchanges opened ir- regular, demand sterling holding steady at $4.84% while French francs dropped five points to 3.66% cents. Selling to register losses for in- come tax purposes and reports that pools were liquidating to wind up their operations before the close of the year, together with the marking up of the renewal rate for standing loans to six per cent, the highest figure of the year, caused prices to slide off for a time. United States Steel went down to 131%, Brooklyn Manhattan Transit fell 3% despite the resumption of dividend payments and Atlantic Coast Line dropped six points. Later active buying of the motors, American Can and Baldwin caused the market to harden again. Chrysler rose 6% to 1907§. ‘The closing was steady. Trading in tho final hour wag enlivened by a spurt of five points in American Can to a new high record above $2.65. A revival of merger rumors stimulated {interest in the western oll shares, notably Standard of California and Pacific Oll. Specultive interest also was aroused in additional specialties such as International Harvester, In- ternational Combustion Engineering, United States Cast Iron Pipe, and Radio, which ran up two to four points. Sales approximated 1,500,000 shares.

CHICAGO, Dec. 22,—()—With crop reports from Argentina more reassuring and with export demand flat, wheat prices here showed an early downward trend today.

Subsequently the market scored a sharp advance, influenced by late reports that the weather in Argen- tina had became adverse, Speculative buying made corn prices average higher, despite wheat weakness. After opening unchang- ed to 4sc off, May 80c to 80%c, the corn market ascended to 80%c for May. Later the corn market was helped upward when wheat turned strong.
