¥ MARKET BROADENS IN FINAL TRADING Steel, Equipment, Copper and Smelting Issues in Even Greater Demand. BY STUART P. WEST. Special Dispatch to The Star. VEW YORK. December 19.—At the height of the upward movement on the Stock Exchange today trading was as excited and the volume was as great as at any time since the be- ginning of the main advance several weeks ago. The man were made | most prominent new high records which ‘luded a number of the stocks on the list. Typleal instances were American Can, following its late demonstration on "Phursday; United State eel com- mon, General Electric, Unit tes Cast Iron lipe, Studebaker, the Pan- Americans, American Smelting and Refining and Mack Truck Profit-Taking Hea Profit-taking was extre heavy, but the buying power which sprea@ over the entire list, with only few exceptions, was sufficient to keep the, market bolling and strong. The leader of the cay section was | New York Cent which rose to a| new top for the year. | United States Steel common's ad-| vance to its best for 1924 was ac- companied by gains of one to three points in other members of the steel group.

The upturn in the steels was predicated on the Increas- ing improvement in the steel trade, | and particulurly on the expected gain in the unfilled tonnage of the Steel Corporation for December.

WINNIPEG, Manitoba, December 19. —On a flood of buying orders which was believed to have been caused chiefly by speculative interests, wheat prices on the Winnipeg Exchange this morning advanced sensationally dur- ing the first hour's trading, December reaching 1.76% and May futures 1.803%, smashing all high records for the present movement. There was considerable profit tak- ing, but the offerings were readily absorbed and the market acted stub- bornly between 1.79 to 1.80 for May. The undertone appeared to be very strong and local sentiment continued extremely bullish. HIGH PRICES CAUSE BIG | GAIN IN GRAIN ACREAGE Higher prices stimulated Winter wheat and rye plantings this Fall, the Department of Agriculture states in announcing that the Winter wheat arca is 42,317,000 acres, or 6.5 per cent more than that planted last Fall. | Asso Ofl (13%). |AtT& S Fe (6). | Atlas Tack. . !

NEW YORK, December 19.—Great irregularity prevailed in the bond market today, but in the main the trend was. lower. In the foreign group the recently offered Greek 7s and ‘Belgian 6s stiil s0ld at premiums over the offering prices, but not at their best levels. -The Hungarlan T%s held practically all their recent but French bonds were con- splcuously heavy. There were large sales of City of Solssons 6s at a sub- stantial decline. It looked as though the spechilation in the new foreign offerings had ‘been' overdone. Government Loans Lower. United States Government bonds were also lower. Here, however, the influence undoubtedly was the firmer tone in time money. The Treasury 4148 sold below 105 and were down the most. There was no particular selling of the high grade ralls but there was no interest shown on the| ‘ing side. Elsewhere in the rail- road 1ist the only prominently strong fentures were in such convertible bonds as New York Central deben- ture sixes which went up with the stock. The low price high ylelding adjustment bonds were very little changed. Day's New Offeringx. Among industrials Chile Copper 68 were strong above 108 and the Ana- conda bonds had a better tone.
