IS ii Tint ted Press NEW YORK, Dec. 3.—Weekly Federal reserve statements clearly pictured the rapid accel ation of retail trade with the approach of the Christmas season. A,t the New York bank the reserve ratio dropped to 79.5 per cent from 81.6 a week ago, while the percentage for the whole system was down to 72.2 'rom 73.3. These shrinkages reflected the heavy withdrawals for commercial purposes, but the fact that the main trend in the money market was toward lower interest rates, as emphasized by the continued advance in bond prices. The fact that there was nothing in the Federal Reserve position to change this prospect was mirrored in a buoyant tone in speculative leaders at the opening of the market. Rails were surprisingly strong in the face of an announcement of further wage increases, moving ahead under the leadership of Atchison. which spurted 1% to 157%. General Motors was the feature of outstanding strength in the industrial list, advancing lVs to 141%. Stocks continued to display a strong tone around noon under the stimulus of confident behavior on the part of accepted leaders of the industrial class. Steel and General Motors were in good demand around the best levels of the current forward movement and sharp advances occurred in various issues.

PROSPECTS BRIGHT FOR COMINGYEAR Future and Current Business Reported Sound. Bu Times Special NEW YOKK, Dec. 3.—Business prosjiects for the new year 1927 are bright and current conditions are sopnd according to reports made to the National Cash Register Company by the organization's Divisional sales manager. These sales executives who arc now holding their year-end conference at the company's head quarters at Dayton, 0., represent every section of the country and Canada. Particularly optimistic was the report regarding the northetistern section of the Fnited States. In the coal fields of Virginia und Kentucky the situation has been substantially improved as a result of tho shortage of coal by the British strike. The prospects on the Pacitiflc Coast, and in the west in general are better than at any time in fifteen years. Representatives from Chicago, Milwaukee and Minneapolis re port general business conditions sound, despite the fact that agricuttured in some sections has suffered from droughts and floods. Due to financing of a large part of the cotton crop, the price slump in the south, caused by the recordbreaking crop, is not expected to have as unfavorable effect as first feared.

Bn United Press NEW YORK, Dec. 3—To f.tabilize the price of crude rubber a $40,000,000 credit is understood to have been established bv several of America’s largest rubber manufacturers, Dow, Jones & Cos. have announced. The United States Rubber Company, B. F. Goodrich, Goodyear, Firestone and Fisk are said to be among the eoncerns guaranteeing the credit. It is estimated that the purchasing power of the pool will exceed 50,000 tons of crude rubber. The funds, it is asserted, may be employed to buy crude rubber to forestall sharp price declines, which might lead to further tire price cutting. It is the intention, if possible, to maintain the price at such levels that the additional 10 per cent restriction in production under the British Stevenson act will not be necessary Feb. 1. To do this it is pointed out that the price would have to be stabilized above 21 pence, or 42 cents, against 18 pence, or 36 cents, a pound now.

NEED OF PRESENT DAY POINTED OUT Must Look to Future, Implement Men Are Told. John W. Gamble, manufacturer and banker, Omaha, Neb., speaking Thursday night at the dinner of the tenth annual convention of the Indiana Implement Dealers’ Association at the Claypool, asserted that we are In the midst of the most remarkable changes imaginable, brought about through recent in-, ventlons in the business and manufacturing world. "Enterprising men must look to the future and not to the past for the solution of their problems,” he stated. "Take for Instance Germany, one of the foremost nations of the world now, whose Inventions will revolutionize the industries of all countries.” Gamble went on to explain that Germany has recently invented a liquid coal and anew kind of fertilizer which will cause drastic changes in their prospective fields. Following the election of officers and the reports of the committees the convention came to a close at notn today. Dr. W. E. Taylor, Moline, 111., delivered the final address, "Efficlnecy In Agriculture." OIL EARNINGS HIGHER Equipment Concern Income Three Times 1924-25. Bu Timra Bnrrinl NEW YORK, Dec. 3.—Figures just released by the National Supply Company, the largest manufacturer of oil equipment and supplies in the United States, show a net Income for the nine months ended Sept. 30, of $3,157,969 as compared with $2,014,756 for the Entire year of 1925.

HUGE PROJECTS CAUSE ANXIETY IN STOCK MART Rubber Combine and Another Issue for 50 Million Announced. By E. Waiter MocUler NEW YORK, Dec. 3. —Most of the really important news in Thursday’s market happened outside of the market. Details of a huge rubber combine leaked out into the street and started what Is likely to be quite a furore before it is finished. According to such details as are now available, a group of rubber companies, including Fisk, Firestone, Goodyear, United States Rubeber, Goodrich, Kelly Springfield and many others are linked up with a powerful group of automobile interests, including General Motors, Studebaker, Packard, Dodge, Willys-Overland and many others in a huge combination which has as its basis a plan for the purchase of a substantial amount of crude rubber which could be used to forestall any effort on tho part of those in control of the market to ad/ance the price artificially through restriction plans, as has been done in the recent past. Obviously it is the banding of .American distributors to the greatest rubber consuming market in existence, to guard against the effects of the Stevenson plan as operated by British interest in control of the Far East rubber supply. To Exert Influence With all of the companies bound together by a contract which stipulates that each will bo assessed a nominal amount for the purpose of accumulating capital tho ramifications of the combination are potentially enormous. The General Rubber Company, subsidiary of the United States Rubber Company, lias been selected as the sole purchasing agency for the entire group. This company will do the purchasing in the open market, financing the rubber through the banks after the operation has been completed. It is understood that the National Bank of Commerce will do the financing, which will run in the neighborhood of $40,000,000. From now on it appears that America, the world’s leading consumer of rubber, is going to exert some influence in the shaping of prices for the commodity. Stunduid Oil Issue Another Item of more than passing importance developed after the actual close of the market, although indicated before that time. This is the coming issue of $50,000,000, twen-ty-five year 4Vfc per cent debentures for the Standard Oil Company of New York. Incidental to this issue, Standard Oil Company of New York makes a formal application to the stock exchange to list its common stocks. The importance of this issue is emphasized by the fact that the whole Issue Is being taken by one house, Dillon Read & Cos., and that Clarence Dillon Is offering the bonds at. 97%, to yeld about 4.67 per cent. This is the lowest price that Standard Oil has ever paid for money. While this financing is In no way connected with the recent issue of $120,000,000 5 per cent debentures for Standard Oil of Jersey by J. P. Morgan & Cos., the* rush of preferred stockholders to get aboard the offering of new 58 at par Indicated the standing of good oil debentures In this market and undoubtedly encouraged standard of New York’s bankers to bring out an even lower yield. Money verified the expectations of most market judges by dropping from the peak attained earlier in the week. The 544 and even the 5 per cent rate had brought floods of funds this way and this accumulation forced a further decline in the posted rate to a basis of 4 J 4 per cent at the close today.

In the Sugar Market

(By Thomson & McKinnon) It is evident that the Cuban authorities In conjunction uith tho sugar producing interests there, do not intern! to make too hurried a decision with retard to 1927 crop restrictions, all the facts bcarinir on the situation are being- carefully weighed. But it is safe to assume that a practical plan eventually will bo adopted. Meanwhile. sugar futures are sensitive to both the prospect of reduce/1 supplies and differing ideas as to price in trade channels. I see no weakness in the situation, how. ever.^and believe that future developments wall bear out th? opinion that futures, at the levels prevailing today, should be bought

NEW BARRAGE IS SET OFF AGAINST MERGERPEION Attorney for City Files Motion —0. of C. Employ# Accountant. Jurisdiction of the public service commission in the hearing of the amended petition asking for a merger of the two local electric utilities into the Indianapolis Power and Light Company, with capitalization of more than $55,000,000 is attacked the three counts in a motion filed with the commission today by Attorney Charles Mendenhall, aid of City Corporation Counsel Alvah H. Rucker, in fighting the plea be fore the commission. Another step in opposition to the merger was taken by the Chamber of Commerce today, with the employing of Benjamin Perk, attorney and public utility accountant, to assist Fredei-ick E. Matson, special counsel, In the case. Perk has been a specialist In utility matters for nine years, serving as special accountant for the ajjjy in the Indianapolis Water Company rate case. Perk conferred today with Earl Carter, public service commission engineer, who has been working on the appraisal figures of the t.\/o electric utility companies. Mendenhall’s Contention Mendenhall's motion contends that the commission has no jurisdiction over the subject matter involved in the petition; that it is not a real “amended petition,” but just the old one revamped, and that it cannot be a petition in fact because the Indianapolis Power and Light Company has not complied with the Indiana public utility acts. Other attacks on jurisdiction may be launched by attorneys for the various interests opposing the merger. Jurisdictional contest on the original petition was won by merger opponents when the commission, on advice of Attorney Arthur ],/. Gilllom, ruled that the petition was not within the commission’s jurisdiction. Amended Petition Filed Tn the interim the amended petition had been filed and anew hearing must be held in the matter. Commissioner Frank Wampler is to set a date for the hearing. Besides the attack before the commission, Rucker has brought suit to restrain the commission in Marion County Circuit Court. Here the jurisdiction of the court has been attacked by utilities attorneys and a hearing on this question will be held before Circuit Judge Harry Chamberlin Monday morning. SHERIFF IN ILLINOIS WAR WILL RETIRE Bu United Press MARION, 111., Dec. S.—One of the picturesque characters of the southern Illinois district will pass out of official recognition next week when Sheriff George Galligan leaves office Dec. 6. He will he succeeded by Sheriff Oran Coleman, who was elected at the last general election. Galligan has been actively connected with the peace affairs of the district for several years. During the Klan trouble which marred the peace of Williamson County, Galligan was one of those in the thick of things. lie attempted to placate affairs. He was fired upon by raiders and his home just off courthouse square was on© of the allegedly marked spots for the opposition bullets. Once after S. Glenn Young and Ora Thomas were killed in a duel, Galligan took a “leave of absence”— which Gov. Len Small thought would be best for the county—from duty so that the smouldering hate spirit could die down. When Galligan leaves office he will return to his former occupation, mining. He has been hired as superintendent of a mine near here. INDIANS RANKED LOWEST Cleveland brought up the rear in the American League last season when it came to smashing out. home runs.
