BUSINESS NEWS OVER WEEK-END sOOSTSSTOCKS Anthractie Strike Settlement Buoys Speculative Sentiment. Average Stock Prices Average price of twenty industrial stocks for Monday, was 153.81, up .54, Average price of twenty rails for Monday, was 110.87, off .04. Hu United Press NEW YORK, Dec. 21.—Business reports in industrial centers over the week-end were highly optimistic ,ind speculative sentiment was additionally encouraged by the concerted efforts toward a compromise in the anthracite coal strike. Asa result stocks displayed a very confident tone in the early dealings, with continued pressure on the motor and rubber shares, offset by sustained strength in the rails, oils and merchandising shares. Woolworth featured the latter class of stocks, spurting 1U to anew high on the movement at 208. v Prices fluctuated in bewildering 'in late morning due to the divergence prevailing in the speculative community regarding the immediate future of the market. Movements in the automobile shares were especially confusing owing to heavy selling of Chrysler coincident with the urgent buying of Hudson. Chrysler broke nearly ten points to 183 >i, while Hudson ran up sharply to 105%, a gain of 3%, in response to the publication by DowJones of reports that Hudson and Ford might pool material purchases in 1926. Such an arrangement would manifestly enable Hudson tr reduce costs and would strengthen the theory that the relations of Hudson and Ford are much closer than appears on the surface in spite of continued denials from Ford officials.

Indianapolis Business News Trade Forecasts and Comment on Local Market Conditions.

By Rader Winget, 1 • l RICES on peppermint oil have 13 advanced from $4.30 a pound to as high £ts $32 a pound within the last six months. This unusual jump in value seems unexplained, even t 6 local consumers. If quotations keep advancing, the flapper gum chewer and the candy kids will be hard pressed for the proper flavor for their pastimes, it is predicted. Consumers of the oil, such as candy manufacturers, chewing gum companies and manufacturing chemists, have difficulty in obtaining enough for every day use, the supply being short as well as the price being high. The law of “supply and demand” controls the quotations and the problem confronting the users of the oil is to increase the supply and lower the price. This Is practically Impossible to do, however. A corner on the market was one theory for the high prices advanced by a local whilesale druggist. He maintained that a large manufacturer of cold remedies has obtained all of the available supply of peppermint oil from which menthol, used in cold medicines, is abstracted. Most of the cold medicines formerly were made with a Japanese oil, but the American product was found more satisfactory. R. A. Doud, manager of the Betsy Ross Candy Shops, said weather conditions affected the price of the peppermint oil. An early frost this fall, in the middle western States, ruined the plants. About 60 per cent of the world’s supply of peppermint comes from northern Indiana and southern Michigan and the frost did considerable damage. The new crop will not be ready for harvest until the latter part of the summer, and no oil can be obtained until then. If the next crop is below par there will be practically no limit on the value of peppermint oil. Further price increases over the present rate might even be made. ”1 would say there could be a 25 or 50 per cent increase in the price of peppermint oil before the next crop is gathered,” said Doud. Local candy companies are not affected to a great degree by the big price jump, as they only consume about fifteen or twenty-five pounds of the oil in a year. The price increase has been absorbed by the manufacturer and has not been passed on to the consumer. Many candy makers are taking a larger loss because they use more of the flavor. Some them consume as much as 1,000 pounds in the manufacturing of peppermint candie#. Chewing gum companies are large consumers and consequently take large losses on the material. A good crop in *he fall will equalize the market and prices will naturally go back to normal, is the optimistic opinion of peppermint oil users.

Hu United Press CHICAGO, Dec. 21.—Grain futures developed a strong undertone In opening dealings on the Chicago Board of Trade today. Buying power In wheat was greatly Increased by the return of commission houses into the pit. They were heavy buyers, due to greater Liverpool strength and appreciable advances in Winnipeg. The continent also has done heavy buying, cables stated. Demand for cash wheat in various markets was slightly Improved. Buying by local corn operators was based on the unfavorable weather and reduced movement from the country. Oats followed other grains on a featureless market.

Members of the State legislative finance committee have encountered considerable difficulty In finding an attorney willing to press the suit to enjoin State Auditor L. S. Bowman from paying public service commissioners their statutory salaries of $6,000 a year, it was learned today. State Senator Robert L. Moorhead, a member of the committee, today persuaded Judge Harry O. Chamberlain to withhold decision on demurrer by public service commissioners until Wednesday evening. Moorhead immediately called on Governor Jackson and sought the later’s assistance In obtaining an attorney. The suit was brought by Lowell H. Patterson, a taxpayer, to force Bowman to pay the commissioners $5,000 a year instead of $6,000. Bowman has continued to pay the higher salary on strength of an opinion by Attorney General Arthur L. Gllliom.

The oyster Is like milk and eggs, a bilogically complete food. In a great many kinds of food there are too much of a few things and not enough of other essential elements. The oyster, according to such authorities as Milo Hastings, director of a physical culture food research laboratory, is perfectly balanced In food essentials.” Anyway, when you want a quart of the freshest, finest oysters go over and let Everingham crack a couple dozen shells for you.
