STOCKS CLIMB TO - NEW OIGOIEVELS ON CURRENTRALLY •Oils Attract Greatest Attention as Groups Moves Steadily Forward, The WALL STRFEX.JOURNAL NEW YORK, Dec. 14. —Overnight reflection upon significance of week’s advances in crude oil prices and the remarkably favorable showing of the November foreign trade figures furnished the motive power for a continuance of bulilsh_demonstrations in general industrial list on stock exchange at opening today. The sugars were especially buoyant, Punta Alegre und Cuba Cane preferred reaching new high ground on the movement. Oils were strong with Standard Oil of New Jetsey and Sinclair in particular active. While Baldwin was the outstanding feature of the industrial leaders. First Hour Industrial stocks continued to display marked buoyancy through the first hour. Seme of the old-time lenders like Baldwin and American Can returned at the head of the forward movement, which broadened further under the influence of their leadership. New high ground on the current upswing was reached by industrial Alcohol, Cast-iron Pipe and Numerous s ecialties. The oils were the strongest group, moving ahead uniformly with the Standard stocks in the van. ] In Sinclair ‘he turnover reached enormous proportions, the stock attaining its best levels in many months. Second Hour Operations for the rise continued in imprest ve fashion in the late morning under the leadership of big industrials like Baldwin, American Can, Steel and Studebaker. With these Issues restored to the head of the upward move, confidence in the stability of the advance was heightened and commission houses reported the best demand for outside accumulation since the current rise started. This week will close with a fair-sized public interest in the market. Public I baying has not reached large propo r - j tions. but it had been increasing week I by week. Noon Hour No let-up in the general advance of j the market occurred in the noon deal-1 tags in which ali out the rail group! vigorously participated. Some selling j was in evidence among a few of the j weaker carrier stocks but the bulk j of trading favored rising prices and j the list moved steadily forward. If there was any preference of groups or j classes of stocks, such might have found expression ,n the unique action of the oils which all day ljad moved under the stimulus of the gen ; •rally better feeling manifested by the industry's leaders as to the outlook for 1924 business. Fourth Hour Industrials maintained a strong j tone in the early afternoon, stimulated j by anew high for the year in Ameri- j can Can at 106 Vi, a record high in ; Corn Products at 148 v and a ; spectacular spurt of IS points to 205 ' In United Cigar Stores. Rails were held back by selling of ! Northern Pacific, which broke over j 2 points to 51 s . But this heaviness proved no handicap to operations for the rise in various industrial groups, i Oils were strengthened by the be- | lief that recent advances in several I grades of crude oil would be followed { by a general upward revision of midcontinent prices. Twenty active industrial stocks on j Thursday averaged 94.70, up .59 pe*- i cent. Twenty active rails averaged ! 81.15. off .02 per cent. ■ Local Bank Clearings Indianapolis bank clearings Fiiday were I $3,523,000: bank debits were 55.503.000. i - New York Money Market Bu United Financial NEW YORK.

FAIR BUYING IS BOONTO WHEAT December Corn Also Improves —Oats Open Strong, By United Financial CHICAGO, Dec. 14.—Grain prices opened generally unchanged on a dull market today. Nearby deliveries, however, showed fractional gains. Wheat met a fair class of iocal buying, .vhich rallied prices slightly above Thursday's close. December was more accive and scored the most gains, reflecting an advance in the same delivery in Liverpool. This was due to better demand by millers for i-by ice supplies in both markets. Buying in December also featured the corn market, and a fractional gain was made at the opening. Deferred months were unchanged. Buy ing in the cash month was induced by the strength in wheat, small export business and general belief that fair deliveries on December contracts would be made before long. v December oats opened strong. Buying was induced by wheat strength and light receipts. Others were unchanged. Provisions were helped by sharply Higher hogs. Chicago Grain Table At il 45 Dev. 14 WHEAT— Prev. Open. High Low.

Grain Briefs

CHICAGO. Dec. 14.—Despite persistent report- that Norm America is doing no export business, cltaram-es continue heavy, showing that u *uod trade must be passing. The floating oats supply is being kept pretty well cleaned up by commission house demand. More than 4.000.000 bushels of grain cleared from Ft. William and Ft. Arthur Wednesday. Vessel men declared it will take the remainder of the week to clear pu the charters. Farmers are reducing their hog receipts rapidly which indhat-s they will have more corn to feed or to sell than expected. Interests of grain trade now centers in corn With wheat and oats showing little life, there is strongly divided sentiment in corn with sufficient arguments on both sides to make for rapid flutuations.

Economists can judge the trend of all business by the piosperity or the dullness of the steel business. The largest private corporation in the world, the United States Steel Corporation Is engaged In its manufacture. Out of every dollar the manufacturer receives for his crude steel, 79 cents goes to pray for his material — his coke, ore, etc. Nine cents pays the labor, while 12 cents is left for profit and overhead, including taxes. There was a recent 20 per cent wage increase to steel workers. Assuming that this applied to ali workers the wages boost added 1.8 cents to the cost for every dollar received by the manufacturer. A similar increase in the cost of materials would add 16.8 cents. NEXT: Cheese. LIMELIGHT OF CURB IS TURNED ON OIL SHARES Advances in Pennsylvania Crude Reflect in Early Bidding.

The early sharp upswing was brought about by unusual activity of shippers, but after their orders had been filled, buyers for Kingun & Col, refused to follow up the advance and left the yards when traders declined to accept lower bids on their stock. Asa result, the market was at a standstill for more than an hour, but sales around 10:30 o’clock were Reported at the prices established on the decline, Early sales of heavies at $7.35 to $7.45, were 25 to 30 cents higher, but sirffilar kinds later sold at $7.25 to $7.35.

The bulk of sales was registered between $7.10 and $7.25. Sows held steady at $6.50 down, but pigs advanced generally a quarter at $6.75 down. Kingan buyers maintained that the advance was out of line with other markets. The day's receipts touched 12,000, inclusive of 187 hold-overs.
