STOCKS TOUCH NEW HIGH LEVELS Recessions Touch Market in Early Part of Final Hour. NEW YORK, Pec. 30.—The stock market closeil steady tod; y. A number of issues -old at new highs for the year in the early part of the last hour, recessions of about 1 point occurring at the close. Sears-Roebuek was run up to a high of 67%. but yielded at the close to 64%. American Locomotive reacted nearly 2 points to 10'% and Crucible Steel, after selling up to G7'4. fell back to Gti. Steel common finished at So r i. Mexican Petroleum, after selling above 115. dropped to 111. Government bonds were unchanged and railway and other bonds steady. Total sales of stocks for the day were 790.900 shares; bonds, $14,702,000. (By Thomson A: McKinnon.) —Dec. 30Today’s stock market session proved to be a more interesting one than ordinarily might have been anticipated and no doubt reflected a considerable volume of purchases and sales of an evening up character. The noticeable feat ire was the absence of offerings, except ‘luring the strong moments and even tht n was limited in extent. A good many of the day's transactions were for immediate delivery, this showing clearly the character of the business. To the public, however, the matter o fimportance is not -o much what has transpired today, or that will likely transpire tomorrow, but what will we have in the new year. During the early days of tie year many owners of securities may fee. disposed to accept profits. This will apply to such holders whose Income tax payments are of such amounts as to make the saving of even a moderate percentage an important Item, but this is merely a theory, since, when you consi ler the outlook from a practical standpoint those who are fortunate enough to own stocks at lower prices may feel just cs we do on the proposition, anticipating still higher prices and therefore, those who are counting upon increased offerings during the early days of the year may be disappointed. Rooking beyond the matter of temporary flnctua’ions. we can see nothing that would warrant a change of opinion. We regard the outlook for the coming year as good, warranting an optimistic position in the market and would therefore he prepared to take advantage of such reactions as may occur from time to time.

GRAINS REGISTER SHARP DECLINES News Failure of Brokerage House Causes BreaK. CHICAGO, Dec. 30.—Wheat prices registered sharp declines on the Chicago Board of Trade today. The oversold condition of the market coupled with last minute news of the failure of K. W. Wagner & Cos. caused the break in the market. Other grains and provisions were lower. December wheal opened at $1.13%. up %o, and closeil off lc. May oats opened at $1.10%, off %o, and later slumped D%c. July wheat opened at SI.OO, off %c, and closed 2e lower. December corn opened at 48c, off Vic, and closed off %c. May corn was %v lower when it opened at sU)ic and closed "ie lower. July corn opened off %c at 50c and closed %c lower. December oats opened at off %c. and closed off lc. May oatts opened unchanged at 39*,4c and later dropped %c. December oats opened at 40c, off Vfcc, and was %c lower at the close. (By Thomson & McKinnon.) —Dec. 30— Wheat—There being nothing aggressive in the news on the buying side and the holiday spirit 111, ,re or less in evidence in the iioucnminital attitude of the trade, the market dragged early, without much support. The first indication of weakness brought heavy and persistent local professional selling and on the weakness developing on this selling, several prominent commission houses turned heavy sellers of boih wheat and corn, which was thought to be ‘in the way of liquidation of long lines. Support was almost entirely absent as no one care 1 to take any particular stand over the impending holidays. Cables were higher. I’riiuurv receipts smaller. The cash demand was slow. The persistent selling by commission houses that savored of liquidation continued its course during most of the session. The decline was severe enough finally to run into some export business ou resting orders. The prominent selling outlined above had its source in the subsequent announcement of an asslgumet by a leading firm. The market will take its tone next week from the foreign demand and the domestic movement. Should the foreign buyers hold back, some further temporary easiness may be seen. Corn and Oats This country was a heavy seller "f corn on over-night bids and this, with the weakness in wheat, precipitated a lot of miscellaneous liquidation of long corn, several commission houses being prominent iu it. Oais weakened in sympathy. I’rovisions—With h"gs 35c to 50c lower, product was easy. The weakness in craiii was a further reason. The cash demand f. r product still continues good.

Many ol the department stores are making ft surprisingly good showing. Sentiment in local circles is still favorable to the market and in all likelihood advantage will be taken of every opportunity during the uew year to advance values further. LIVERPOOL.
