However, trading lacked its usual snap as many traders have left the city to enjoy a prolong week-end 'visit until after Christinas day. Absence of traders, however, was not accompanied by any selling pressure by professionals. ('losing Hour Stocks developed’ more signs of life in the final dealings under the stimulus of a hurst i' strength in the motor shares under the leadership of Studebaker and Chandler. This class of stocks is being acclernted on the theory that a bullish demonstration will be staged before the automobile show In January.

CHISAGO GRAINS CLOSE IRREGULAR Liquidation in December Contracts Lowers Values, Bv Unit'd Financial CHICAGO. Dec. 72.—Grains closed irregular on the Chicago Board of Trade today. Heavy liquidation in December wheat and December corn sent those deliveries tumbling to lowest figures in several months. There was no speculative demand to take care of wheat offerings at the pit. and prices slumped. Idick of export demand, heavy increases in stocks at outside terminals and disappointment over the possibility of any action by the tariff commission in Washington before February brought disappointed longs into the market. liquidation In December corn was responsible for values in that month reaching new low levels, although cash premiums showed sharp breaks and larger movements were anticipated for next we* k. Oats displayed atstuhhom undertone. December, with some buying by Eastern Interests, scored a slight advance at the close. I'm kern complained of pre-holldav dullness in the provisions market.
