Average Stock Prices

Average 30 industrials 278.26, up 5.38; 20 rails 143.74, up .1; 40 bonds 95.09, up .03. NEW YORK, Dec. 15.—Airplane stocks and a few special issues enlivened an otherwise dull stock market today. Wright Aero and Curtiss rose 10 points each, American Radiator more than 8 and Pittsburgh Coal 6 points. Dealings were on the smallest scale since August, traders holding off on expectation that next week would bring a sharp turn in the call money situation because of payment of checks on the mid-month settlements, which were mostly for the government and amounted to nearly two billion dollars. Inroads on call money also are expected to be made shortly for year-end payments. Many Sell Holdings Asa result of this expectation many sold their holdings with the plan of remaining out of the market while it went through the credit stringency. This brought down prices of such stocks as Packard, U. S. Steel, Kennecott, Greene Cananea, Anaconda, A. M. Byers and several others that recently were in demand. Railroad issues moved up, under the lead of New York Central and Erie. Great Western preferred rose to anew high for the year. Radiio and Victor Talking Machine were sharply higher in early dealings on expectation of an official announcement of a merger of the two companies, but they later sold off on profit-taking. Bonds were irregular in a narrow range, while curb stocks were mixed with airplane issues in demand. Cotton declined on week end selling, while grains advanced, helped by better cables. Sales are Light Sales for the session amounted to only 1,290,850 shares, the lightest Saturday since August 18 when sales were 920,900 shares. The market closed irregular with United States Steel at 15114 off 1%; General Motors, 184% up %; Chrysler 116V 2 off Hi; American Can 9612 off %.

In the Stock Market

(By Thomson & McKinnon) NEW YORK, Dec. 15.—We are all more or less victims of habit. Every year at about this time we Instinctively turn our thoughts to the new years as if the last day of the calendar year marked a definite change In our affairs—a change in the •tastes and the needs of the people, a change in the purchasing power of the feople. Asa matter of fact we all know hat such changes as are to follow will be such as have been arranged for: merchants have long before this placed their orders for what they will want for spring, manufacturers have planned for a long time changes that they contemplate making. Aside from the holiday business the only important thing at the year end are the financial changes—the payment of debts to become due, the payment of interest, the payment of dividends and the plans for reinvestment by the fortunate receivers. All of this, of course, requires preparation by the banks to meet the requirements an das a result we expect, as a matter of course, more or less stringency in the money market. This year the problem of preparation is made more difficult on account of the large sums that have been • borrowed during the year to take care of the purchase of securities and this of course, creates a problem that can't be solved in a few days or in a few weeks. We will have this to deal with for into the coming years. Technically the market has been very much improved by the recent liouidation and an undoubted increase in the short interest as well as by the comparative dullness during the last few days.

WHEAT HIGHER ON BULGES OF CORNFUTURES Sharply Reduced Estimate Is Bullish Factor for Ail Grains. By United Press CHICAGO, Dec. 15.—A sharply reduced estimate on the corn crop stimulated unusual activity in the corn pit today and all deliveries gained. Advances lent strength to wheat and oats. At the opening corn was % to 1% cents higher, wheat was unchanged to V 4 cent up and oats were up Vi to % cent. Provisions were unchanged. The final government report on the 1928 wheat crop is regarded as a stand-off, as there is little change from previous estimates. There was no significant foreign news. Liverpool was unchanged. The report on corn is construed as bullish, for it shows a decrease of about 55,000,000 bushels from earlier estimates. Supplies of corn at primary points are small and condition 1 ! are favorable for absorption of increasing receipts. The estimates on oats were unchanged and this grain is being traded in only moderate quantities. Bu Times Special CHICAGO, Dec. ,15. —Carlots: Wheat, 12; corn, 452; oats, 48; rye, 2.

RADIO, VICTOR IN BIGMER $116,000,000 Deal to Combine Companies Reported. Bn United Press NEW YORK, Dec. 15.—A merger of the Radio Corporation of America and the Victor Talking Machine Company was reported under way today. This understanding, which will link properties valued at the close of 1927 at $116,000,000 was reached after negotiations of nine months. Details have not yet been worked out. The plan approved by the two companies consists in a complete merger of the properties and not in the creation of a holding company. On this basis, it is assumed that the plan calls for an exchange of Radio stock for Victor stock. Strong gains of the securities of both companies were made yesterday, when "Wall Street anticipated the merger. The merger will be one of the most decisive in a series of important steps taken by the Radio Corporation this year in its participation in the amusement industry. Radio controls the National Broadcasting Company, R. C. A., Photophone, Inc., and is allied with the Radio-Keith-Orpheum Corporation. In the present merger Victor’s contracts with many musical artists will become available for sound pictures and broadcasting. Victor’s experience in the production of music will be used in making sound pictures. Radio - Keith - Orpheum's chain of theaters will be an outlet for the pictures.

In the Cotton Market

(By Thomson & McKinnon) NEW YORK, Dec. 15.—Compared with the market we had in the early part of the week, cotton was dull this morning. As the week closses contracts are so well held that no decline of importance is at all likely. The public, as well as the spinners, feel that money invested in cotton is a very stable proposition, the strength of which should increase as the actual passes into trade channels. Disregarding the ebb and flow of speculation, there is always the fact that spinners must fix the price on the big supplies they are taking on and this means buying contracts. We think that cotton bought on declines vill be taken during the periods attractive to the trade and have that insurance behind it. NEW ORLEANS High. Low. Close.

King, secretary of the state board of health, today cited the current influenza epidemic as a reason why the coming legislature should pass his bill to provide for full-time county health officers. “At the present time there is no public health machinery to cope with such an emergency,” King declared. “There should be fully supervised measures, including school inspections and the ’":e. During the war such things were possible, through the financing of the Red Cross, but since that time there has been no public provision made for such activities. “If counties were permitted t,o have full-time' health officers the work would fall under their direction and in my opinion the results would be very beneficial.” King says that while there are numerous cases of “flu,” thus far the epediemic has not proved fatal as in 1918.

MYSTERY DEATH OF UNIDENTIFIED COUPLEPROBED Man and Woman Found Near Abandoned Bungalow, Murdered. Bn United Press FRANKLIN SQUARE. L. 1., Dec. 15.—The bodies of a man and woman, both unidentified, were found today outside a bungalow near the Hempstead-Jamaica turnpike herei Both had been shot through the head with .45 and .38 caliber bullets. Police said the two had been murdered. Ten barrels of red wine in the stable were found near by. The bungalow supposedly had been vacant for months. All Identification Gone Police believed the man and woman had been surprised in a tryst and shot down while both were running. All identification marks had been removed from the bodies after the shooting. The man’s pockets had been ripped out. There was the mark of a wedding ring on the woman's finger, but the ring was gone. The woman's face was disfigured by bullet wounds, but races of finely-chiseled features remained. She was a brunet about 25 years old, weighing 140 pounds. She wore a blue cloth coat over a brown costume and had tan lingerie of good quality. The man, dressed In brown, was somewhat older, police believed. His head was torn by bullets, and another slug had ripped diagonally through the body.

FEED ON~HORSES’ EYES WASHINGTON, Dec. 15.—Nightflying moths that alight on the eyes of horses and suck up the moisture they find there are the grotesque curosities discovered at the Ignazu Falls in Argentina by Dr. R. C. Shannon, American entomologist, now engaged in public health work for the Argentine governemnt. Dr. Shannon has reported his observations in the technical journal, Science. He was first informed of the strange phenomenon by the keeper of the hotel at the falls. Somewhat skeptical, but nevertheless interested, he watched some horses during his nights of study of the mosquito population, and finally succeeded in collecting eleven distinct species of moths showing this strange pervession in appetite. The insects were so numerous at times they caused eye irritation and even temporary blindness in the horses.
