NEW YORK, Dec. 30—The strength j •which prevailed In the trading yesterday was maintained at the opening of the ; stock market today, with the railroads ; again prominent and establishing fur- ; ther material advances.

The steel industrials were also ac- j tlve and strong, but made only moderate gains, compared with the railroad group, i Steel common rose % to 79%, and; Baldwin 1 point to 85. The motor stocks were more active. The oils were generally heavy. Mexican Petroleum, after advancing % to 156. cropped to 154%. and Royal Dutch yielded 1% points to 63%. Texas Company made an opening gain of % of a point to 43% and then yielded to 42%. , After the first fifteen minutes stocks were In supply, the advances being In most cases materially reduced. The reactions that occurred after the end of the first fifteen minutes were followed by moderate rallies, but only a few stocks made further gains from the early high range, while many of them were In supply at concessions and an Irregular tone prevailed. Atlantic Gulf was the sublect of general comment, that stock falling from 53% lo 77%. a net loss of nearly 7 points. Southern Pa. Ific, after Its advance to ; 100%. dropped to 99% and other rails j generally moved In the same way, with the exception of Missouri Pacific, whim . advanced further to 13.

(Rv Thomson A McKinnon.) —Dec. 30Yesterday we had a market sufficiently steady to encourage the market’s friends and attract new ones. It has been the best market we have, had In some time, with improvement noticeable in every department. but particularly In the rails, where we have been favored with an Investment demand that promises to continue and there is every reason why this should be so. The present reaction in business, as has been stated. Is enabling railroad management to oieate efficiency nr.d eeont omy that will In the end be productive * of "more profits. In the industrials, liquidation appears to have run its course. YV have discounted a more serious and a more prolonged period of depression than we are likely to exi>erlence. It is but seldom that investors are af forded such mi opportunity as they have now to accumulate stocks at such prices, and unless we are very much in error Investors will continue as they have, during the last week and accumulate.

GRAIN MARKET SHOWS STRENGTH Price Changes Irregular in Practically All Quotations. CHICAGO, Dec. 80.—Price changes were Irregular on grain options In trade on the Chicago Board of Trade today, with the trend toward a stronger market. There was a little selling o' wheat at the opening, due to the drop of 8 cents In the Buenos Aires market but this soon was absorbed and a general strengthening followed. Provisions were irregularly higher. December wheat opened up 1% cents at $1.71, nnd gnlned another point later. March wheat opened unchanged at $1.66%. but gained 2% cents later. Mny wheat was unchanged at the opening at $1.61%, advancing 2% cents before the close. December corn was unchanged at 73c at the opening, and held that figure. May corn opened up %c at 75%c, dropping %e later. July corn was off %c at the opeuing at 75%c, and remained unchanged in later trading. December outs opened unchanged at 47%c, losing %e subsequently. Mn.v oats opened unchanged Rt 49%c and held that figure. July oats opened unchanged at 48%c, later losing %e. (By Thomson A McKinnon.) —Dee. 29 YVhent—Basing ideas upon the number of people seen in retail stores h*ge. It would seem that we are about to experience a broadening of demand for commodities. This condition seems to be developing In wheat, there being a number of Items from the Southwest telling of Improved flour sales and milling demand. It was also noticeable that Indiana and Ohio millers were buying wheat In the Chicago market Further than this the continuation of export business during the holidays 1* attracting considerable attention because It la out of the ordinary. If the mUilug demund broadens, a* U now indicated, the market will respond readily as the accumulation now in sight are thought to be owned by exporters. Corn—Foreign demand for corn has again appeared. Bt. Louis reporting 64,000 sold. Inquiries were In this market, but no business closed, or at least noue made public. The foundation of export demand and the reluctant selling by the producer, should within a moderate time induce a broader demand from the dltrlbutlng trade and result lu higher prices. Oats —The comparatively small response to strength In corn made by oats, Is accounted for by the lack of Interest In the market not by any underlying weakness. Some advices are creeping in from the country to the extent that reserves of oats are not as large as commonly expected. CHICAGO CASH GRAIN. WHEAT— Open. High. Low. Close.

Heinie Oroh is sticking nrourd Cincinnati because the pressure of 150,000 iron men can’t pry him off Garry Herrmann's roster. The loud voice of $150,000 Is also failing to work the hearing organs of George Washington Grant for Rabbit Maranviile.

Sky high prices are not confined to the two major league*. Over in Baltimore Jack Dnnn has two Orioles who weigh in at five figures on the scales. Jackson and Bentley are being sought by every major league team in both circuits. Dunn could turn the pair into cash at close to $150,000, but he's holding on and laughing away offers that started at $50,009 and are mounting higher day by day. Dunn chuckles at the wrath of the International League owners, who throw it up to him that he has a major league team in minor society. PRATT SAYS IIE MEANS IT. NEW YORK, Dec. 30.—According to word received here Wednesday, Del F’ratt, the star second sacker of the New York Yankees, who was involved in the big trade with the Boston Americans, will stand pst on his announcement to the effect ’ that he is through with baseball forever." The news is of particular interest to Indiana polls fans because It was regard-g ed as practically certain that if Fratt changed his mind about the matter and would consent to sign with the Red Sox, Cliff Brady of the latter club would be sent to the lloosiers. In the big deal made recently, Pratt, Vick, ltuel and Thormahien were traded by the Yanks for Harper, Hoyt, Schang and McNally, the biggest swap in busebal! of the year. * CUBS SIGN ARMY' STAR.

Upon hi* return to the United States Alexander recommended Kenney, who la a right-hander, 22 years old and 6 feet 2 inches big He pitched semi-profes-sional bail around Chicugo. Durant and ‘Kick’ Are Being Doped as Likely Starters Here Next May The auto racing railbirds who sojourn at their various clubs these chilly evenings have a uew entry for the ninth international YOO-mile race 4sT tie held at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, Monday. May 30, 1921 They advance the belief that the Sheridan Motor Company of California will enter a car. And all this because Cliff Durant, popular race driver, Is president id the company and the fact that Capl. Eddie Rickenbarber, auto race driver aud ace of the Yankee air force In the late war, is Tice president aud general manager. The dopesters claim that with this lair in the organization it is practically assured that a Sheridan racer will scam per around the Indianapolis oval next Mny when the crack drivers of two continent* will compete for glory and gold Durant, who is wealthy, always has been a speed demon, nnd his friends here say It is not unlikely that he will drive, if a Rheridnn is entered. Although Rh’kenbacher lias not returned to the raclnc wheel sinc. his activities In France, Ms nny admirers in this city would like to g>t a glimpse > f-him e-ating up spa* in the eonilug race.
