STOCK MARKET GAINS MADE IN EARLY TRADING Radio Common Improves After Absorbing Heavy Sales at Opening.

Average Stock Prices

Average of twenty industrials for Tuesday was 249 58, up 3.70. Aterage of forty bonos was 93.37. off 1.7. Bit United Free c NEW YORK, Dec. 18.—Speculative Interest in the stock market fell to a minimum today as prices settled into an extremely narrow trading range. Professional selling was partly successful in forcing substantial recessions. Selling was light, however, and most of the leaders held close to their previous closes. Aside from a sharp break in both Fox and Loewes, losses were unimportant. United States Steel dropped below its previous closing level after early 2 point advance, while General Electric, Westinghouse, General Motors, Amc lean and Foregin Power and Otiie; leaders moved narrowly. Some speculative demand was in evidence in United States Industrial Alcohol, United Corporation and United Gas Improvement, all these issues moving ahead moderately. Radio common improved alter heavy selling at the opening. Selling operations were pressed in the petroleum shares toward the end of the first hour and losses of l to 2 points were forced in leaders. They rallied moderately toward noon. Rails and utilities, with the exception of United Corporation and United Gas Improvmeent, aroeared on the tape infrequently after early activity and changes for the most part were decidedly narrow. J. I. Case was a firm spot in the higher-priced issues, running up nearly 5 points. General Electric and other higher-priced issues were quiet. Motors were featured by quiet buying of General Motors and Nash, and Columbia Carbon we firm. Little Interest was displayed on the over-night announcement of the formation of the Republic Steel Corporation through a consolidation of Republic Iron and Steel, Central Alloy Steel and other Independents. Most of these shares met profittaking.

In the Stock Market

IBy Thomson A McKinnon) NEW YORK, Dec. 18.—An excellent carloading report, . comparatively speaking, is probably the most encouraging news we have had in some time. While the assumption that the loading report indicates a benefit, turn for the bettering of business might be premature. The fact that the improvement is so pronounced should do much to further allay fears that we are passing through anything more serious than a moderate recession in business. Consummation of the merger of the middle-western steel companies and the decidedly optimistic views expressed by the head of General Motors afford additional reasons for assuming a decidedly more cheerful atiitud toward the security market. We see no reason for altering our friendly attitude toward the market.

Bv United Press MILWAUKEE, Dec. 18.—The old adage that finders are keepers does not apply here Leon Dixon discovered after picking up a $lO bill from the street Fred Darr had lost a $lO bill and was searching for it when he saw Dixon make the find.

At the end of that time if the owner is not found the money may be divided evenly with the county treasury.

WHEAT PRICES 1 STEADY AFTER PROFIT-TAKING Corn and Oats Are Stronger Than Major Grain in Early Trade. Bv United Press CHICAGO, Dec. 18.— Wheat opened unevenly higher to lower on the Board of Trade this morning. The failure of Liverpool to follow the advance here was discouraging ana caused some profit-taking. Corn and oats were slightly stronger than wheat. At the opening, wheat was \l cent lower to % cent higher, corn was unchanged to % cent higher and oats was unchanged to 1% cents higher. Provisions were firm. Liverpool opened lower than expected this morning, but rose rapidly to stand about % cent to 1 cent higher at noon. Buenos Aires advanced again this morning and was 1% cents up at the opening. The prohibition of gold export by the Argentine government is an indication of the serious damage to this crop, as wheat is the chief exporting medium and a shrinkage in that means a like shrinkage in gold coming Into the country. Tlie blizzard over the corn belt is expected to strengthen com this morning, inasmuch as the country offerings to arrive have been very small, and this weather will further curtail them. Sale of 1,000,000 bushels of oats Tuesday by an Omaha grain merchant to the head of an elevator company with elevators in Texas and Louisiana was one of the largest single sales ever made and gave the market its late strength.
