Scattered Advances Are Re- corded Mainly by Group, With Others Narrow. BY BERNARD S. O'HARA, Associated Press Financial Writer. NEW YORK, December 15—Scat- tered improvement, largely in special- ties, occurred on the Curb market to- day. Dealings wenpe fairly large for a two-hour session. Leading utility, oil and metal issues were narrow. The list was steady at the opening and prices shifted about within a fractional range throughout the trad- ing period. Ainsworth Manufacturing advanced | some 3 points. Sherwin-Williams got | up nearly 2, while advances of nround\ a point were recorded by Philip Mor-| ris, Carrier Corp., Montgomery Wward | A, Bell Telephone of Canada and | United Shoe Machinery. Among old-line leaders, final quota- tions were steady in Electric Bond & Share, American Gas & Electric, Dis- tillers Corporation-Seagrams, ~Lake Shore, Swift & Co., International Pe- troleum and American Cyanamid B. Transfers approximated 112,000 shares, compared with 137,000 & week | ago. Baltimore Markets Special Dispatch to The Star. BALTIMORE, December 15.—Ship- ment of poultry, both live and dressed, for the Christmas holiday should be timed to arrive here beginning Tues- day and gradually increased until Sat- urday. Turkeys naturally will be the prin- cipal attraction and large, fat birds, especially, are wanted. Unless the weather turns warm, liberal shipments of dressed turkeys are advisable, but in case of warm weather live stock will sell to better advantage. In shipping dressed turkeys, only large, fat stock should be shipped, in order to maintain bast market values. Commission men will be open Christ- mas eve, but no large shipments should arrive that day, as most of the retail trade will already be supplied. While prices show no advance so far an increase on all poultry is looked for starting early next week. Young live hen turkeys, 9 pounds and over, are bringing 22 and 23 cents a pound, and | gobblers, 10 pounds and over, 18 to 21, with old hens and old toms selling | mostly 18 to 20. Young chickens hold steady to firm at 16 to 18 for stock weighing 2 pounds and over, but Leghorns will not bring over 13 and 14, and all poor, thin stock hard to place at 10 to 12. Old hens in liberal receipt and values # shade lower at 12 to 17, with Leg- horns selling mostly 11 and 12, and all poor light fowl under 3'> pounds, as well as old roosters, hard to place at 9 to 11, Ducks and geese are steady and un- changed at 11 to 14 for the former and 12 to 16 for the latter, but stock under 4!, pounds generally neglected at 9 and 10. Market for guinea fowl also steady at 40 and 50 each for young birds and 25 for old, with pig- eons in ample supply and slow sale at 15 a pair. Egg Market Easy. Under liberal receipts from all sec- tions the egg market rules easy and values show a decline of 2 to 4 cents at 28 and 29 a dozen for current re- ceipts and 28 to 30 for hennery whites, but pullet eggs will not bring over 24 and 25. Market for white potatoes is steady under moderate receipts and a good demand at 75 to 80 per 100 pounds, but mixed and poorly graded stock will not bring over 60 to 70. Sweets and yams are in better demand and market is steady at 50 to 60 a hamper and 1.00 to 1.15 a bushel for the for- mer and 2.00 to 250 a barrel for the latter. Under generally light receipts, the market for native and nearby garden truck is firm and values show a slight advance at the following quotations: Carrots, 1.50 to 2.00 per 100; kale, 40 to 65 a bushel: Savoy cabbage, 30 to 50 a bushel: spinach. 175 a bushel, and washed turnips, 25 to 40 a ham- per. Live Stock Quiet. The live stock market on the wharves is quiet and little improve- ment is looked for until after Christ- mas. Receipts are mostly of common n-between knds, whch move slowly at inside prices.

McGILL, Editor, McGill Commodity Service, Inc., Auburndale, Mass. AUBURNDALE, Mass., December 15 {#).—Commodity prices at the end of the second week in December showed a very moderate downward trend. This slight downward movement was caused principally by the agricultural and live stock groups, as industrial products moved upward quite gener- ally, in line with seasonal improve- ment in industrial activity. Out of 14 individual groups 6 registered ad- vances, 4 declined and 4 remain un- changed from last week. Industrial products increased fur- ther during the past week due prin- cipally to higher prices for hides, lum- ber, steel scrap and certain fine tex- tiles. Farm Prices Decline. Agricultural prices registered the first decline, although only very slight, since the first week in October. This was due to quite a substantial de- crease in the price of corn, as well as oats, rye, eggs, flaxseed and butter. This decrease more than offset slight increases in such items as wheat, cot- ton, hay and beans. Live stock prices recorded ansther downward trend during the past week. Increases in hogs and sheep were not strong enough to offset decreases in cattle and lambs. Building material prices showed quite a substantial increase due en- tirely to higher lumber quotations. Hide and leather prices also record- ed a substantial gain due to another 1,-cent increase in the price of hides end a cent increase in union sole leather. Ferrous metals have moved up very gradually for two consecutive weeks. This increase was due entirely to steel scrap prices. Fine Textiles Higher. Fine textiles showed a considerable gain during the week just closed. This was caused by slight increases in cot- ton and a further strengthening in cotton yarns and silk. The most im- portant change in this group was noted in rayon yarns which for the first time since last May have ad- vanced. This advance took place principally in the viscose yarns amounting to anywhere from 2 to 3 cents. Non-ferrous metal prices moved downward slightly due to lower quo- tations for silver and tin. The other group which recorded a decrease was coarse textiles. Most. important price changes in the McGill Weekly Price Index (1926 equaling 100) were as follows: Last All, commodities Industrial Agricultural Live stock Hides and ieather. Vegetable oils ..

Profit-taking sales on bulges turned wheat and corn each down- ward at the last.

Profit taking was prompted | by an advance of 6 to 9 points and prices reacted after the more urgent demand had been supplied with later fluctuations rather irregular. The re- Iatively easy tone of January was at- tributed to liquidation partly from abroad, while yesterday’s reduction in the October discount evidently at-| tracted some selling of that position and readjustment of switches. ‘The amount of cotton on shipboard awaiting clearance was estimated at ¥ (S 115,000 bales, against 107,000 last year. | 11 December ...

NEW YORK, December 15.—Cau- tion was the keynote of most stock market opinions today. Frazier Jelke & Co.—Stocks fluc- tuate in narrow area in quiet trad- ing, but the undertone of the market remains good. Abraham & Co—The market has shown neither trend nor decided tendency over the past few sessions. Apparently traders are unwilling to commit themselves pending the presie dential address. Hornblower & Weeks—We “could continue to conserve purchasing power while waiting for the trend to more definitely assert itself. Lamborn, Huchings & Co.—Senti- ment still seems rather more hopeful than cheerful, but until the current immediate downtrend shows more definite signs of being reversed we suggest a neutral position.
