New York, Dec. 29.—The marked strength of today's market as general- 1y construed as an/ indication of the fin- ancial community’s optimism concerning the industrial and business outlook for the next year. The bidding up of stocks was accomplished in the face of a heavy volume of cash sales resorted to in or- der to establish tax losses, higher call money rates and the restriction of out- of-town business by the crippled wire service resulting from the storm. Speculators for the advance paid lit- tle attentlon to outside news develop- ments although buying of railroad shares undoubtedly was influenced, in part, by the betfer November earpings statements and the record-breaking car loadings for this season of the year. The apparent hitch in the Lausanne peace negotiations because of the inability of the Turks and British to agree on the disposition of the Mosul oil fields failed to materially ‘af- fect either the foreign exchanges, which fluctuated irregularly within narrow lim- its, or the wheat market, which was in- clined to ease. A brisk rise in the steel shares in the final dealings was due to a run-in of the short interest, particularly in the independent issues, and fresh buying bas- ed on_the steadily improved conditions in the industry. Crucible, Bethlehem B, | Replogle, Midvale, Republic common and preferred, Gulf States and U. S. Steel common 2ll closed 1 3-8 to 4 points high- er. Bquipments were less active and moved within_ a narrower range than yesterday, Baldwin, American Locomo- tive and American Car improving frac- tionally and General Electric closing 1 1-8 higher. - Oil shares were in good demand. Ac- tivity and strength of Callfornia Petrol- eum, which scored a net gain of 2 points, accompanied unconfirmed reports of its possible absorption by Pan-American or Standard Oil of California. General Producers and Re- ; Pacific Ofl, 1 g¢ California, 1 clair moved up more than a point on ru- mors of higher dividends. Lehigh Valley and Norfolk and West- ern, each up two points, led the ad- vnnee in railroad shares, other strong spots in-which were Atlantic Coast Line, Atchison preferred, Erle first preferred St. Paul common and preferred and Chi- cago and Northwestern, all up a point or more. Considerable interest was aroused in railroad circles by the pub- lication of statistics showing that- the average monthly traffié on the Panama Canal . increased from 828,873 tons in 1921 to 1,278,006 in 1933. _The principal railroad systems affected by this water competition are the Canadian Pacific, Great Northern, Southern Pacific, Union Pacific, and Northern Pacific. ~ There wero a number of strong Spe- cialties. “~“Woolworth jumped 4 points in Tesponse : to. reports of record-breaking Christmas sales. North American ad- vanced 4 1-4 points in speculative ex- pectatipn ‘of an early increase in divi- dends.

Values at the close were unsettled, 3-4c to 2 1-2 cents net lower with May 1.22 1-4 to 1.22 3-8 and July 1.12 1-4 to 112 3. Corn finished unchanged to 1 cent higher, oats down 1-2@8%-Sc, ns. off 5 cents to 22 cents. Heavy selling associated with the pronouriced bearish opinichs which were attracting general notice put the’ wheat market on the down-grade from the out- set. < Most of the selling appeared to be for ‘eastern and Chicago holders and aft- er the close it was estimated that fully 20,000,000 bushels -of wheat owned by such interests had been liquidated in-the last three days.
