STOCK PRICES IRREGULAR AND SOMEADVANCE Radio Corporation Is Under Pressure as Pool Withdraws.

Average Stock Prices

Average of twenty Industrials Thursday was 193.58, off 1.85. Average of twenty rails was 140.05. off 1.04. Average of forty bonds was 99.28, unchanged. y Bu United Press NEW YORK, Dec. 9.—Stock prices continued irregular in early dealings today, but pivotal shares made narrower movements and several special shares moved forward sharply. Radio corporation was under pressure as the pool which has been supporting the stock was withdrawing. The first sale was at 85, off 2%, with 5,000 shares involved. Later the issue firmed up a point from its low. United States Steel opened steady at 138%, unchanged, and then rose to 138%, General Motors initial sale was at 125%, off % and then rose to 126. Greene Copper established anew record at 115, up %; Curtis Aero was in demand at its peak of 54%. Eiquid Carbonic made a record high at 61%, up %; Atlantic Refining again met heavy selling pressure, dropping to anew low at 104, off 2%. Bullish sentiment was strengthened by impressive resistance to selling pressure displayed by the principal speculative leaders. With these stocks refusing to break on declining car loadings and steel production and rising brokerage loans, the bear crowd became increasingly nervous. Urgent short covering came into the market around noon and vigorous recoveries took place in Steel, General Motors and other leaders. This rally was given stimulus by the growth of the idea that the current recession in general business had practically run its course and that substantial improvement was in sight in particularly the steel and automobile trades. , Further heavy selling was precipitated at the opening today by an increase of $52,000,000 in brokers’ loans reported for the week ended Dec. .7. Bearishness was also inspired by a decrease in the reserve ratio of the Reserve Bank of New York reflecting the recent loss of gold. These factors were taken advantage of by professionals working for lower prices to launch another severe drive on pivotal shares.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

In the Sugar Market

(By Thomson Sc McKinnon) NEW YORK, Dec. 9.—lt Is evident that the recent developments as to sugar restrictions have made an unfavorable impression upon Europe, as advices from that side continue bullish. Representative Wood’s resolution introduced In Con?ress advocating free admission of sugar rom West Indian republics other than Cuba Is regarded merely as a political Sesture. The market here shows a tenancy to respond easily to bullish Influences and I continue In the belief that the late crop months should be bought. Bn United tress NEW YORK, Dec. 9.—Raw sugar futures opened unchanged to 1 point higher: December. 2.80; January, 2:85; March. 2.87; May. 2.98; July, 3.03; September. 3,10.

In the Cotton Market

(By Thomson & McKinnon) NEW YORK. Dec. 9.—The cotton mar. ket Is being sold on the theory that retail dry goods establishments, with the possible exception of those with mall order departments, are doing a poor business. The possibility of some curtailment In production bv southern mills is also a factor. A short interest D building up and plenty of food trade buying orders are still on brokers' books. The situation is mixed and prices may work a little lower. Bu United Press NEW YORK. Dec. 9.—Cotton futures opened higher: December, 18.80, up 4; January. 13.75, up 2: March, 18.93. up 5; May, up ?'• J ‘y. 1912 - up October, 18.67, UP 5.

In the Stock Market

(By Thomson Sc McKinnon) NEW YORK, Dec. 9.—The further increase in brokers’ loans draws attention to the already huge totals outstanding on stock exchange collateral. We keep wondering when the limit will bo reached, but the bank3 as yet have given no' sign, unless President Mitchell’s remarks are to be construed as a friendly warning. He discussed the question last night at Chicago from an academic standpoint, although lie id suggest that loans were expanding too rapidly; but until mere is a concrete action in the form of increased rates and scarcity of fund:, we must assume that we are with n the limit. Nevertheless the gitct total stands as a menace, for no one can foretell the moment the readjustment may come. There are no new developments of a bullish nature in the nr-.": :!:ate trade situation,

GRAIN PRICES UNCHANGEU IN INACTIVE PITS May Wheat, March and May Corn Show Only Changes. Bu United Press CHICAGO, Dec. 9.—Trading in all pits was inactive and prices were practically unchanged, at today’s opening on the Chicago Board of Trade. May wheat and March and May corn were the only futures to show any change. Com tended nearer, with March M cent off and May % cent off; May wheat was % cent higher. The technical position of wheat this morning was stronger. Liverpool was slightly higher than expected, and the buoyancy at Winnipeg Thursday gave promise of continuing today. Export trade was disappointing. Supplies of wheat in all countries excepting Australia appear to be quite ample, but experts predict a very tight adjustment ot world supply and demand before the end of the season. Corn conditions were mostly bearish, belt weather settling down to temperatures low enough to be fine curing, without hindering marketings liquidation Thursday was led by tired holders who were disappointed in the private reports. The trade as a whole was inclined to be cautious, awaiting the Government report due in ten days. Oats continued to disregard fundamentally .bullish conditions, and follow other grains up or down. Provisions opened stronger. Chicago Grain Table WI.EAT— ~ Dec ' prev. High. Low. 12:00. close.
