ONY Lors HOw BIG, DOE- as Bic AS STOCK PRES MOVE HIGHER Upward Trend Maintained | Under Impetus of Fayor- able Trade News NEW YORK, Dec, 28.—@)— Speculators for the advance retained contre] of the price movements in the stock market after the triple Christmas * holiday. Constructive market operations were alded by the optimistic tenor of the first 1926 business forecasts to make thelr ap- pearance, the announcement of the proposed Pacific Oil-Standard Oil of California .merger,. and unusually favorable earnings statement of the Hudson Motor company and the fine showing made by the latest batch of November earnings reports. Bullish operations were particularly aggres- sive in the oils, motors and. rails, S.-S. Kresge soared 15 points above last week's Close to 775 and General Cigar, Mack Trucks and White Motor extended their early gains to three points or more before the end of the third hour. Among the many issues to mount to thelr highest levels in a year, or longer, were New York Central, Chicago and Northwestern, American Smelting and Postum Cereal. New York banks are reported to haye called $25,000,000 in loans’ soon after the opening, sending the call money rate back to six per cent, but this rate was generally regarded as tempo- rary and apparently had little effect marketwise. The closing was strong. Profit- taking in some of the motor issues In the final hour contrasted with the unabated demand for railroad and cil shares. Atchison attained a record high price at 137%, and Pa- cific Oll crossed 76. Gains of 2 to 5 points also embraced United Drug, Union Ol of California, Continental Can, Union Pacific, [lnois Central and Chicago and Northwestern. To- tal sales approximated 2,100,000 shares. ‘ NEW YORK, Dec. 28,—(?)—Rising prices marked the resumption of stock trading today, after the Christ- mas recess. Encouraged by the fore- cast of business leaders that pros: perity would continue through 1926, traders engaged In spirited bidding for popular stocks, such as American. Can, General Motors, General Elec- tric, U. S. Steel and American Smelt- ing, lifting prices 1 to 2 points. Stan. dard Oil of California and Paclfie Olt soared 2 to 5 points in response to merger plans. Under Impetus of favorable ‘rade and monetary conditions, including reports of extraordinary retail holi- day business and an increase in re- serves of the local bank the up- ward movement of prices gained momentum trading progressed. Rail shares were inclined to lag be- hind the rest:of the list, although New York Central attained a new Weak price and Southern Pacific was in brisk demand. Accumulation of buying orders for Pacific Oll, follow- ing announcement of its congol{da- tlon with Standard Oil of California, caused a split opening at 74-75, com- BIGGER .s My ec fLhligl ft Chicago Prices.

Sentiment among many traders apparently had become less favorable to the buying side. This change of views was ascribed large- ly to the extreme rapidity of ad- vances in the last few days. Wheat closed irregular, 1%c net lower to %c gain, new style, December $1.84%4 and May $1.78%4@1.78%. CHICAGO, Dec. 28.—A)—With a blg trade in progress and general buying at the start, all deliveries of wheat advanced here today to a fresh high price record for the sea- son. Strength in foreign markets, especially Buenos Aires, was the chief new factor. Heavy rains in centra! and southern Argentina, un- desirable for harvest time, were re- ported. On the advance, however, previous buyers turned sellers, and a sharp reaction ensued. Chicago opening prices, half to 3°fc higher, new style, December, $1.86%5 to $1.87 and May $1.80% to $1.8114 were fol- lowed by moderate further gains and then by a setback that in some cases went below Saturday's finish. Corn and oats sympathized with wheat. After opening %c to Ic high- er, May 86c to 86%c, the corn mar- ket scored an additional advance and then underwent a sag. Later«the principal feature was readjustment of December accounts. The market closed unsettled, 1%c net lower to %c advance, May 85t6c to 85%c. Oats started Kc off to %c up, May 46%c to 46%c, and later held near to initial figures. Higher quotations on hogs helped to ift provisions.
