NEW YORK, December 30.—Opening FHG~SAIINAS DO There was not the smap displayed in the wholesale shopping district this Transamer (31.60) .., briskly but irregularly, the curb today continued that trend as trading pro- gressed and volume increased. A combination of market factors, such as tax selling, resumption of Lon. don trading and specific news develop- ments had varying degrees of influence on_quotations. The biggest opening transaction was 12,000 shares of Electric Bond & Share at 79%, up %. The greatest number of large lots in the forenoon was regis- tered by Commonwealth and Southern ‘warrants, with several lots of more than 3,000 warrants, one of 13,000 and one of 21,000. This selling represented the Inr!n of losses for tax purposes. ax um.nx was apparent also in North American Aviation, which fell to a record low price, in Blue Ridge com- mon, Johnson Motor, Cables and Wireless B, Goldman Sachs and dozens of other issues which had sold at much higher levels earlier this year. A bankruptcy petition flled by three creditors against Stutz Motor Car Co. of America in Indianapolis today sent the common shares down from 34 to & low of 1% within two hours. Early in the year Stutz sold at 34. Last De- cember the company offered its stock- | holders the right to subscribe to new stock at $25 a share and even as late as October the company’s sales were reported increasing. During the famous Allan Ryan corner in 1’20 Stutz sold on the New York Stock Exchange as high as $724 a share, the low that same year beinl $70. United Gas Co. offered to Houston QGulf Gas minority stockholders the right to exchange two of their shares for one United Gas common. With Uni Gas, which holds more than 64 per cent of its subsidiary’s common, selling at 195; and Houston Gulf bid around 7, traders saw an op{ommny in the latter and promptly went after it. Houston Gulf opened up 2% % and soon hit 10%. ' A string of Glen Alden Coal - tered & jump of 5 points in that stock. Fajardo Sugar, which recently reported |a deficit, hit a new low record and a similar feat was performed by Bick- ford’s. Crocker ler came out at 217%,°up %, and then reacted. Deere & Co. jumped 14 points and Tubize moved within a range of 7 points in the first few hours, Special Dispatch to The Star.

CHICAGO, December 30 (#).—An un- expected big decrease of the United States wheat visible supply total hoisted wheat prices temporarily today, but selling increased, and the market re- % |ceded. The _decrease was 3,049,000 bushels, and many traders had figured upon less than 1,000,000 bushels de- crease. An outstanding bearish in- fluence was that export business in North American wheat today amounted to_hardly 300,000 bushels, ‘Wheat closed nervous, ¥ to 3 cent a bushel lower than Saturday's finish. Corn closed 3 to 2%, cents down; oats, }; to 214 cents off, and provisions unchanged to & setback of 10 cents. STUTZ HOTOR BANKRUPTCY.

Note,—The following ls Jeorinted from 4n article in the New ¥ ] 2 15 ewd ‘of ony of tha's advertising agencles in the United Biates: Business is only going to be good next year for those who make it good. Sales will not be poured out of a .| cornucopia into the laps of the un- deserving. ‘They will be squeezed out of a tough tube, a sale at a time. Leaning on Washington, D. C.—not necessarily the Washington of this mo- ment, but any Washington at any time —is iike leaning on a rubber ane. Of all the great aids given to by Government, the ml'elt in ;u mb- abllity are the tariff sound money system. Buz the surest way for any business to get the fl‘elmt good even out of these twin ai they did not exist—as though the busi- ness did not derive a dolllu worth of benefit from them—as though its ul- timate net B:oflt depended enelrcly upon indé&dull itiative and intelligent ad- ver Pl(fl'nlll.sm or bureaucratic ald is the rubber cane of business. Sane, sensible ldv:nhlfll 1s its strong l‘;’l?w.mh thing vitally wrong wit Te not g ly business, but quite a good deal that Is wrong with its management. For instance, if the automoblle busi- ness became top-heavy in recent times, it was partly du: to the fact that it was overweighted with swollen heads and swollen fortunes. All of the motor companies had and have huge markets, but what they wanted was not a huge market but & hog market. Perhaps the worst feature of the re- cent upset is the fact that it gives guilty managements and feeble executives one more opportunity to enter an alibi.

Trading in meats was fairly brisk, meats usually being in demand for the ' New Year dinner trade. An easing of the butter and egg market was res+ ported today, dealers predicting a sub- .;unml drop in egg prices in the near future. “The egg market is due for & good drop,” remarked a merchant. “There has been a drop of 2 or 3 cents a dozen in New York and Chicago, and the local market is bound to follow.” Receipts on the farmers' line thi morning were about as light as the: average Monday receipts, growers in nearby Maryland and Virginia gather-, ing practically no crops on Sunday ex-' cept during the Summer season, wheti'” % Sunday work is necessary to save crops. il Quanitics ot pouiic. - ehiefly smy quantities of chickens and ducks, veg few of them | ving any turkeys. the commission house dealers had their accustomed .m-uuv;"’ %% | displays of ‘fruits and vegetabl to, claim attention of retailers.
