INDUSTRIALS ARE AT BEST LEVELS SINCE LAST MAY Stocks Close Week at Highest Point Reached in Many Months. The WALL STREET JOURNAL NEW YORK, Dec. 15. —Despite heavy profit-taking in Friday s final dealings, the industrial average closed in new high ground lor the current upswing, encouraging confidence regarding the market s ability to absorb realizing sales. Weekly trade reviews reported active holiday trade with cheerfulness in .arge industries Prices in early trading today con tinued under influence of the irregularity prevailing at the previous close, but a strong underto le was in evidence in the general iist. First Hour After early selling had been taken care of, the general market developed a better tone under influence of conspicuous strength in the whole oil group. New highs on the movement were reached by the Pan-America ns, Pacific Oil and most other representa tive issues. Invincible was a leader in the low-priced class, reaching its best price of the current recovery. This strength was based on belief of interests connected with the mapage ment that the stock has *been selling out of line with other oils on the basis of comparative property values. Closing Hour Stocks maintained a strong tone In the final dealings and closing prices were at the week’s best levels, with the industrial averages in the highest ground sen since May 29, when the break from the March peak was well under way Pronounced strength in Houston and Pacific Oil kvpt the oil group at the head of the upturn in the general list and Pacific Gas and Electric was featured in the public utilities, reaching new high ground for the year at 93*4 in response to the establishment of an dividend basis earlier in the week. Twenty active industrials stocks on Saturday averaged 95.23, up .30 per cent. Twenty active rails averaged 80.65, up .25 per cent.

Formerly the American people seemed to prefer the foreign product but when Importations were cut off they found that the home-produced cheese were quite as good. As in other dairy products the cost of materials is the principal factor In cheese making. According to figures gathered by the United States Government 90 cents out of each dollar the cheese manufacturer receives goes to pay for his materials. Four cents pays labor while 6 cents Is left for profit, overhead and taxes. A 25 per tent wage increase among cheese workers would add 1 cent on each dollar of the selling price while a 25 per cent increase in materials woudl add 22% cents.— Next' —Airplanes.

These prices represented a loss of 10 to 15 cents over Friday’s opening market established by shippers. The top price p>aid for heavies was $7.30, while lights sold up from $7.10. Practically all grades of hogs, however, sold at a flat price of $7.15, only light lights and perhaps the finished medium and heavy hogs commanding other figures. The bulk of sales was made between $7.15 and $7.25. Both sows and pigs wefb weak to 25 cents lower, due to lack of competition, pigs selling from $6 50 and sows down from $6.25 The day’s receipts touched 15,000, inclusive of Friday’s carryover of 886. Local packlnp interests were active buyers in the day’s trading, as were the shippers, due to a light run in Chicago, but competition lacked the keenness displayed early Friday and trading was of a more stable nature. Prices at the close of the day’s mar ket showed an advance over last Saturday of generally 30 cents as tin- result of lighter offerings. Only 200 cattle were in the pens and no real test of values could be made, but traders generally regarded tit* market as steady with Friday's close which represented some losses for the week. Steers were quoted from 50 to 75 cents lower, some cows rhout a quarter lower, heifers 25 to 50 cents lower and canners and cutters steady for the week. Steadiness prevailed in the calf market. choice veals commanding $11.50 and the bulk $10.50 to sll. Re eeipts, 250.
