ERIE COMMON IS MARKET VEHICLE FOR FRESH RALLY Strength of Low-Price Carrier Furnishes Background for Advance. The WALL STREET JOURNAL NEW YORK. Dec. s.—Stocks developed strength in the early dealings today, reflecting the satisfaction felt in Wall Street over the compromise with the house radicals which appeared to assure the re-t lection of Speaker Gillett. Together with President Coolidge's victory pver Senator Johnson in South Dakota this was taken as a highly constructive development, from a conservative standpoint and active issues scored sub stantial advances in the first fifteen minutes. continued the spectacular feature of the rans, the common reaching anew high on the movement above 21. First Hour Stocks maintained extraordinary activity in the first hour, stirred up by the huge turnover in Erie common, which went through the 1920 high to the best level since 1918. This display of strength was followed by bullish demonstrations in many sections of the list Mack Trucks featured the industrial specialties, recovering the loss suffered as a result of the disappointment over the failure to enlarge the dividend return this week It was felt that action regarding the increase couid not be long postponed in view of the company's earnings. Second Hour Buoyancy continued to characterize the general list in the late morning, fresh forward movements starting in various groups when the earlier favorites hesitated. A further shrinkage in the Powell field crude oil production. which dropped to 120,000 barrels a day against a recent high of 325,000, formed the basis for a renewed upswing among the oils under the leadership of Standard Oil of California. Maraciabo Oil reached new high ground above 27, reflecting the bringing in of two wells of high gravity oil in the Buchivaco district. Twenty active industrial stocks on Tuesday averaged 92.68, up .04 per cent. Twenty active rails averaged 51.25. up .32 per cent.

CURB STOCKS HIGHER WITH FEW EXCEPTIONS Carib Syndicate Features Oils—Peerless Makes Gain Hu United Financial NEW YORK, Dec. 5. —With a few scattered exceptions stocks on the curb opened higher today on a fairly brisk turnover, reflecting beliet that the deadlock in the House will end today. Carib Syndicate, which led the South American oils yesterday, fol lowed up its gain with an advance to five. Atlantic Tobacco common was strong, gaining to 2%, while quarter to half point gains were made by the better known members of the Standard Oil Group. The douhle opening in Radio Corporation common from 3*4 to 3% rep resented a small gain on the latter price. Peerless Motors was the only other prominent industrial issue to show in the early dealings, and it recovered % of Monday's loss to 28. The noon market was firm.

Lights subsequently lost their advance and soon dropped back to a steady plane and late sales of hogs of that weight might have shown a slight loss As a whole the market was quotably steady to 10c lower, though some traders expressed belief that some sales might have showm a 15c loss. Opening prices for lights were $7.20 and $7 25, but later sales were at $7 10 and $7.15, while medium and mixed sold from $7.20 to $7 30 and heavyweights from $7 30 to $7 40. The bulk of sales was made between 57.20 and $7.30 Sows and pigs dropped a quarter, sows selling down from $6 25 and pigs down from $R 60 A1 together 20.090 hogs were offered for sale, inclusive of Tuesday's carry-over of 550. A few shippers were In the market, but their orders were not large and the market was left pretty largely In the hands of local killers, who. for the first time In several weeks, left the purchase of heavy hogs until the last. Trading in the cattle market was of a mixed nature with some classes of stock, such as yearling steer*, sell ! Ing steady while other grades, lnciud- j lng common and medium grass stock. 1 sold lower. Altogether about 1.200 cattle were offered for sale, attract- j ing attention of large buyers who were disposed to he ohoicy In their selections and indifferent in their com mitments. Call prices were steady with choice veals selling at sl3 and the bulk from sl2 to $12.50. Receipts. 700. Tiie sheep and lamb market was quiet, but trading was at steady prices with lambs selling at a top of sl2 and sheep at $6 down. Receipts, 100.

The cost of linoleum at the store varies greatly, according to the grade The reason for this is shown In fig ures gathered by the United Sta'es Government. According to these fig ures 57 cents out of each dollar which the linoleum maker receives goes for his materials. Thirteen cents more represents wage* and 30 cents goes to profit and overhead, including taxes Increase the cost of materials n hnoleum 10 per cent and you add 6 7 cents for each dollar the manufac turer receives.

CORN IS LEADER IN EARLY TRADE Wheat Traders Adopt an Awaiting Attitude, Hu United Financial CHICAGO, Dec. s.—Grains ruled irregular at opening of the Chicago Board of Trade today. With both buyers and sellers displaying an awaiting attitude, wheat prices opened unchanged. Consider tible attention, however, was being paid to dispatches from London that a German representative received as surance from Lord Curzon that Great Britain would consider supporting an American proposal to advance $30,000,000 to $70,000,000 in secured food credits to Germany. December corn led that market in an early advance. Unfavorable weather over parts of the central area where heavy rains fell through out the night brought on some buy ing. This added precipitation will further damage corn in the shock and retard husking and shipping. Oats were practically unchanged on a featureless market. July showed Vh advance, but traders could attribute no reason for the advance.
