TURKEYPLENTFUL AT L MARSE Lower Temperature Encour- ages Poultry Shipments to Capital—Prices Quoted. Lower temperature this morning came | as a relief to poultry dealers and haul- ers of turkeys for the Christmas market trade. There were dressed and live turkeys on display in the big packing houses, places of business of commi: sion merchants and P i well as along the country line, and wide range of prices made it evident | that there had been no eflort made to | determine a definite price for the king | bird. Announcement of a retail price of 43 cents a pound for turkeys deeply inter- ested other retailers and wholesale: Many of the retailers this morning wes reported as holding back their purcha: s, anticipating lower prices, cared to be holding back. It was announced by certain dealers this morning that 35 cents was the low price for both live and dressed stock, while 42 cents was reported as the highest price. Additional receipts of truck loads of dressed turkeys from Maryland and Vir a yesterday and this ‘morning greatly ased supplies. Espect Big Trading. Dealers expect heavy wholesale trad- ing this afternoon and tomorrow, many retailers having accepted orders for de- liveries Monday. Many far from Maryland and Virginia, serving the re tail ‘trade on the country line, arrived | this afternoon and others will be on hand early tomorrow morning. Not only will they have supplies of turkeys, but they also will have quantities of other game and a variety of commodities from their farms. Dealers reported a further weakening of the egg market, quoting a price of 35 cents for current receipts. Butter Pprices this morning were unchanged. Fruit and vegetable dealers had their usual attractive displays of commodities this morning to claim the attention of retailers. Fancy fruits moved fairly brisk, and there was a good demand for cranberries and celery. Cold weather about some of the market places neces- sitated the covering of the more tender fruits and vegetables and prevented deal- ers from making attractive dicplays. Prices of most commodities this morn- ing were the same as prices quoted yes- terday. Today’s Wholesale Prices—Jobbers® Prices Slightly Higher.

NEW YORK, December 21—Away down in the Wall Street crypt they keep the discouraged and deflated stocks, the ones which couldn’t make the grade and which have been retired, like old spavined fire horses. Today the returns from the annual job lot auction sale of these securities are available. This auction was held Wednesday at ) the sales rooms of Adrian H. Miller & Son, where every year the ghostly pa- rade takes place. ‘To use another figure of speech, it is something like sluicing out the tailings of a stamp mill—there may be a little string of color in some of the litter and sweepings of the finan- cial world. Decrepit Securities. This year about 200 blocks of these decrepit securities were sold, in lots of from 5 or 10 to several hundred shares each. For $5 one could pick up a load of gaudy certificates—a bit shop- worn and yellowed with age, to be sure, but impsessively titled, and still clinging feebly to their corporate existence. There was also to be had mounds of shrunken and anaemic bonds, remi- niscent of war time deflation, revolu- tions. the collapse of governments and the downfall of hopes. Among the securities represented were cotton enterprises, trust companies, oil burners, coal mines, railroads, lecture bureaus, soclal registers, motor com- THE EV NING STAR, WASHINGTON, D.

BY KENNETH S. VAN STRUM. NEW YORK, December 21.—During the recent break no group of stocks suffered as heavily as the ofls. That this break was something more than a technical reaction is shown by the fact that the 70 stocks which rose most from June to November included only four oils, while of the 70 stocks which de- clined most sharply in the recent break there were 12 ol stocks. While few oils lost all of the ground gained since June, there seems to be a feeling that the rise in ofl stocks had been somewhat faster than the improvement in the industry warranted. 1t is common knowledge that from a consumption standpoint the oil industry is on a stable basis. The continued in- crease in the use of petroleum products, particularly as fuel and for motor cars, has caused consumption figures to reach new record levels continuously. This year the demand for gasolene has lifted consumption higher than ever. ‘The Nightmare. The constant nightmare of the oil industry is the threat of over production from new wells or the discovery of new flelds. The experience of last year illus- trates the point. At that time the dis- covery of the Seminole and other flush flow pools led to & great increase in crude petroleum production. Although consumption was forging ahead rapidly, this increased production, together with the greatly improved technological methods which permit more eficient production and refining, were too much for the industry and sharply declining prices for petroleum products caused a severe deflation in the industry. The prices of leading oil stocks declined sharply at a time when the general stock market was rising. Early this year a curtailment of oil production had taken place and condi- tions to improve. At the same time r the stimulus of the pros- perity of the motors consumption went ahead at a fast pace. ‘As a result lead- ing ofl- stocks Shared in the general stocks market rise. During. the past year the oil industry has tried to restrict production by co- operation among the producers, with the result that prices were increased somewhat. At the time of the price in- creases last Summer it was believed that SAYS FOREIGN LOANS AID AMERICAN INDUSTRIES Special Dispatch to The Star. NEW YORK, December 21.—Dr. George W. Edwards, economist for Stone, Webster & Blodgett, says Amer- ica is now lending money abroad at the rate of about $2,000,000 a year, and that the total of the United States’ in- vestments approximates $15,000,000,000. ‘The question has often been raised in connection with these foreign accounts whether the money being sent abroad incresses foreign competition. Is it being put into investments which, in turn, compete with the investments of foreign citizens in their own lands? Dr. Edwards attempts to answer that when he says: “We have gone into this question raiher carefully, and our inquiries show that less than $750,000,000 of all the money we have sent out in the last five years went into industry which by any stretch of the imagination could be called competitive.” Then another question: Does the sending of American money abroad lead to unemployment at home? Mr. Edwards answers this, also, in the negative. “Actually it leads to increased em- ployment, since when a loan is made it goes out in the form, not of gold, but of goods which must be manufactured before being sent out.” Chemical I;dustry Gains. NEW YORK, December 21 (Special). —While there is a tendency to re- strict buying of chemicals as the end of the year approaches, so as to keep down inventories, conditions in the chemical industry reflect larger-scale operations than was the case a year ago, according to Chemical and Metal- lurgical Engineering. Trading in cer- tain coal-tar products has been checked somewhat by the sold-up condition of producers and the spot market for benzol, solvent naptha, totuol and xylene is firm, with prices more or less nominal. By-product coke operations are well ahead of this time last year. . Grocery Merger Rumored.; NEW YORX, December 21 Wall Street understands that the Groc ery Store Products Co. has been organ- ized as a holding company for a number of concerns marketing trademarked food products. Negotiations are understood to be nearing completion for the inclu- sion of six firms, including the Toddy Corporation and one Canadian com- pany. The new concern is being spon- sored by the Gold Dust Corporation interests, but it is not yet Known whether there will be any corporate in- terest between Gold Dust and Grocery Products. 37 SINCLAIR 85 HOUSTON, 64 TEXAS 38 SONY 52 SONJ 70 SO CAL 53 UNION the higher prices might again lead to over production which, in turn, would defeat the attempt to restrict crude petroleum production. As a matter of fact recent figures would seem to indi- cate that the higher prices for petroleum products have actually led to increased production. Crude Production Mounting. During the past few weeks the pro- duction of crude petroleum has been increasing rapidly and during the week ended December 15 avcraged 2,548,226 barrels daily, which is very close to the peak of 2,546,100 reached during the worst part of the 1927 deflation. Up to the present time the prices of petro- leum products have not been affected by the increasing production. Practically all of the profits of the well rounded oil companies have in- creased this year because: of the better marketing conditions and prices. The fortunes of the strictly producing com- panies have varied with the location of thr;' company and the success of its wells. Except for Houston, the companies shown on the chart are well integrated | companies_whose stocks move closely | together. During the recent break they | suffered quite heavily and today their future depends to a large extent upon the trend of production and prices. Hold- ers of oil securities might be well re- warded for closely watching the trend of both production and prices during the next few weeks in order to deter- mine if restriction has broken down and flush production again come into the industry.

In- BY J. ©. ROYLE. Special Dispatch to The Star. NEW YORK, December 21.—Accord- ing to the calendar this is the shortest day in the year, but according to the cash register it is one of the longest. It is the culmination of the greatest | period of retail buying that any holiday | season ever has seen in any country. Volume of sales has continde to range between 10 to 15 per cent higher than for the corresponding period of last year, and seems certain to con- tinue to do so until next Monday night. The general business outlook is un- doubtedly highly favorable, and the dips and rises in the stock market have not shaken confidence in the future in the least. Retail trade is being helped materially by dividend distributions and by the passing out of bonuses to em- ployes. ‘The bonus payments among financial houses have been especially heavy. In some cases workers making $2,500 a year have had bonus payments of $5,000 or more. Jewelry Sales Numerous. Sales of jewelry and the more ex- pensive gifts have been numerous, but the great bulk of the gifts bought have been of the usable and practical sort. About 10,000,000 Christmas trees will have been sold by next Monday afternoon. Of these 1,500,000 go to the Atlantic Coast cities from New England and the Adirondacks, and 1,000,000 to the cities in the North Central States. Canada provided about 4,000,000 trees, according to report. Toy sales have been exceedingly heavy, especlally for the wheeled goods and dolls. Seasonal declines in leading indus- tries are far less marked than they were a year ago. Steel, bullding and automobile production all have slowed down a little, but this check has been as nothing to the usual seasonal dip. Automobile manufacturers are merely rnparmg for a period when output is ikely to be greater than ever before. The steel industry has enough busi- ness booked to allay any anxiety as to its future in the next three months. ‘The agricultural equipment concerns are working at top speed. Building contracts let have fallen off, as is always the case in the Winter. ‘The copper mines are making profits while the mine lamps shine. The Christmas lay-offs will be far shorter than usual. Exodus to South. The annual pilgrimage of tourists to the South has begun, and there are more automobiles southbound on the roads of the country than at any time since the bursting of the Florida boom. The oil Industry is comparatively quiet and stable for the time being, but con- sumption of gasoline in 1929 will be heavier than ever. The agricultural districts have a lot of money to spend and are disposed to spend it. The cotton growers have re- cently been aided by higher prices. Sugar is In no better position as the time of grinding by Cuban mills ap- proaches. Coal is showing only regular seasonal improvement. The paper in- dustry is taking a rather gloomy view of things. The textile mills are profit- ing somewhat by increased demand. ‘here is no serious unemployment situation in any part of the country. ‘The tremendous influence of the stock market on other industries was shown by the acquisition of two large buildings by the New York exchange to give it more trading floor space. Group insurance continues to grow in volume. Sales Record Reported. NEW YORK, December 21 (#).— George McNeir, chairman of the Mo~ hawk Carpet Mills, Inc., of Amsterdam, N. Y, reports November sales, the first month of direct selling, broke all monthly records. ’.éb. JNoses LOW COMMERCIAL PAPER RATE |/UDGE FLIES TO COURT IS AM OF FEDERAL RESERVE Special Dispatch to The Star. NEW YORK, December 21.—The rate for bankers’ acceptances yesterday was moved up to about a parity with the Federal Reserve rediscount rate. This ordinarily would mean that the rediscount rate also might be raised, for in banking practice a spread of from one-quarter to one-half per cent is generally maintained. It is doubtful, however, if the Fed- eral Reserve will make a change in its rate of discount, preferring to exert its effect over the market for specu- Jative money by indirect rather than by direct procedure. ‘This it can do and, apparently in- tends to do, by withdrawing gradually as a buyer of acceptances, after having taken up a very large amount of this paper in the last three months, and in this way lessened the strain on the credit situation. The Federal Reserve policy is to maintain as long as pos- sible a moderately low rate for com- mercial paper, and thereby prevent any handicap to business while at the same time making it as difficult as possible for those who borrow money for the primary purpose of speculating in the stock market. Another phase of the discrimination between borrowers for business and bor- rowers for speculation is to be found in the considerable amounts of money being loaned at 6 per cent for fairly long terms to corporations and at be- tween 81, and 10 per cent for 30 days to brokers. Some of the latter have complained that they could not get time loans even at this high rate. Between now and the end of De- cember interest rates, not only in New York, but in European money markets, are_expected to advance sharply, The CANADA LEADING WORLD IN NEWSPRINT MAKING Special Dispatch to The Star. NEW YORK, December 21.—Cana- da’s largest industry is in paper and pulp. Its 122 pulp and paper mills for 1927 turned out a gross value to- taling $219,329,000, while the'disburse- ments for salaries and wages amounted to a little more than $45,614,000. In the manufacture of newsprint pa- per Canada now leads the world, with an output of 2,082,000 tons, valued at slightly above $132,000,000. The United States, which is second, produced 600,- 000 tons less. Paper is made from pulp wood. Charles Stewart, Canada's minister of the interior, says Canada has much pulp left. It is estimated at 1,344,000,- 000 cords, widely scattered throughout the Dominion. What effect paper production from conrstalks will have on the pulp busi- ness in the future can only be guessed. Commodity Notes Automobiles. DETROIT, December 21—Sales of the leading producer of automobiles by dealers to users in the last month to- taled 91,410 vehicles, as compared with 80,539 for the corresponding period of last year. Sales for the first 11 months of 1928 were 1,809,001, the largest by the company ever known for a similar period. Turkeys. YORK, Pa.—Turkeys are plentiful in this neighborhood, but the demand is not strong. Prices range from 50 to 55 cents a pound. Dairy Products. MADISON, Wis—Milk producers in Wisconsin are being advised to watch feed costs closely, because it appears that the peak of the cycle of milk prices has been passed. Retail Trade.
