BULLS BUOYED BY RECOVERY OF MAIN LIST Buying Takes Place as Stock Market Opens.

Average Stock Prices

Average price of twenty industrial' stocks for Wednesday was 153.91. up 1.58. Average price of twenty rails for Wednesday was 110.34 up .24, Bu United Press NEW YORK, Dec. 23.—Bullish enthusiasm was stimulated by the convincing character of yesterday’s recovery in the general list and further urgent buying took place in the early dealings imparting a buoyant tone to the whole market. American Can continued to head the forward movement among the industrials forging into record territory at 268%, up 2% net. Motor shares also pushed ahead rapidly, Chrysler gaining 3 points to 197%, General Motors % to 115% and Mack Truck 1% to 219%. Call money again renewed at 6 per cent. Speculative sentiment received additional encouragement in the late morning from optimistic conditions in the steel authority expressed by the Iron Trade Review. The Review declared the demand for steel was remarkably heavy, despite* seasonal 1 influences, and that production was continuing at a record pace to meet orders on hand. This prosperous situation sought further buying into the industrial list, which particularly favored issues likely to benefit from large earnings of the steel workers. SearsRoebuck, in this category, spurted 4% points to 232%, while Webber & Hellbroner reflected the unparalleled volume of its December business in a spurt to new high ground on the movement at 100, where it was only half a point from the year’s high.

Across the Desk With Busy Men Wholesale Grocery Business Reported Good for 1925.

By Rader Wlnget GENERAL business conditions for the wholesale grocer have . been very good for the past year, according to reports from local jobbers. The price trend has been firm in the greater part of the commodities handled, but several special lines of goods show surpris-, lng changes. Sugar Is at the lowest point reached for several years but the price will go no lower, jobbers predict, because it now is practically below cost. The latest quotation on sugar is $5.82 for a 100 pound bag. For this time last year the price was $7.25. This condition has been, reached because of the enormous crop now being put on the market. The supply exceeds the demand and the slump was inevitable. URING the war it will be remembered sugar was whole--8 saling at $29 a 100-pound -bag, and it was extremely difficult to get the usual amount for a morning cup of coffoe at any price. But the conditions then were distorted and never return in peace times. Spices are an the upgrade as an indirect result of the Stephenson restriction act on rubber. The Chinese find they can get more money by raising rubber on their land than they can be raising spices. Many of them have turned to the rubber trade and the spice supply has suffered accordingly. The pres ent crop is only about one-half nor mal, local jobbers say. Pepper has jumped more than any other spice. It now sells at 40 cents a pound, representing an increase of 150 per cent ’over last year. The price still is advancing and a definite limit cannot be set. spices have been drawn (J) higher by the rise of pepper ■ I and many of them are quoted above normal. Indianapolis jobbers are reluctant to forecast the market ‘trend Buying of holiday goods practically is at an end, as all retail grocers have put in their supply of Christmas goods. The regular buying spurt started about three to five weeks ago and the volume was the same as last year, say the majority of the jobbers. After this buying will return to normal. That is, normal for this season of the year. Between Christmas and the first of the year most of tjie retailors buy light because of the approach of inventory time.- After that they will start again. Collections are reported as being only fair as is usual with this particular season, and the few weeks preceding tax paying time. Spring is expected to find collections back to the average scale. In the Sugar Market (By Thomson A McKinnon) NEW YORK. Dec. 23—-Apparently a stalemate has been reached in the sugar market. Unfavorable factors in the form of the labor settlement in Cuba and exceptionally g-ood progress in harvesting; the new crop have failed to influence prices adversely. On the other reduction in th“ estimate of the European beet crop has failed to be a bullish stimulant. In the final analys's the undeniable fact that another record crop is before us will be the determining factor.

Bu JfEA /Service NEW YORK, Doc. 23.—Longerliving, loss sensitive radio tubes are predicted with the announcement that solid thorium filaments will soon be made. This prediction is made by Prof. J. H. Morecroft, past president of the Institute of Radio Engineers, in the December issue of Radio Broadcast Magazine. ’The res. arch laboratory of the Westinghouse Company,” writes Morehouse, “announces that thorium is now available in such quantities that the filaments of vacuum tubes may be made of pure thorium instead of thoriated tungsten as is now the practice. “The present tubes have a layer of thorium about one atom deep. If the filament is Improperly used this thin layer of thorium disappears and practically no electron emission remains. By considerably overheating the filament, without B batteries, anew layer of thorium may appear, this new thorium diffusing to the surface from inside the filamwit. "Nqw, it is announced, solid thorium filaments will soon be available which is a real advance because the possibility of the disappearance of the thorium atom-deep layer no longer threatens. "The new tubes will very likely have much longer life than the present ones and not be so sensitive to improper adjustments."
