STOCKS BREAK 1 TO 5 POINTS AFTER OPENINC Anaconda Copper Forced to Lowest Levels Since 1927. Bjl T'nitrrl Prrri NEW YORK, Dec. 23.—Stocks broke one to more than five points today as heavy selling swept over the stock market. Trading was quiet, however, and tickers easily kept abreast of the market. United States Steel broke through 160, but met support on the decline around 159, where it was off four points. Another wave of selling came into Fox Film, and the issue broke more than four points. Utilities were weak, with American and Foreign Power and Standard Gas dropping more than four points each and Columbia Gas about four points. Mail order shares mercantile stocks, motors and even the rails joined the decline. Leading shares like American Can, American Telephone, Bethlehem Steel and Radio were off sharply from their earlier prices. American Telephone lost all of a 42-point gain. General Motors was st* ng in early trading, but it lost its gain and sold off nearly a point from the previous close. Heavy buying of the issue was noted on the decline, however. Anaconda was a weak feature in the copper division, dropping to a new low since 1927. Other coppers sold off in sympathy. Goodrich was depressed to anew low in the rubbers. Call money ruled firm at the renewal rate of 5 per cent.

In the Stock Market

(By Thomson St McKinnon) NEW YORK, Dc. 23.—Thus far a comparison of existing business conditions with those following previous financial panics has been none too convincing. Unlike the depression of a decade ago when burdensome inventories brought about almost complete stagnation, we have the marked advantage today of a liquid condition in general business that could hardly be stronger. Hand to mouth buying has replaced the unwholesome policy of stacking up. It is this strong fundamental condition that will probably temper and gradually reverse the tendency on the part of business to permit existing conditions to obscure the prospect for decided improvement with the turn of the year. The virtual stand-still in the automobile industry will soon come to an end, which should mean a revival of steel buying and at the first sign of the stepping up in steel production we anticipate a gradual spreading of expanding operations in other industries, which should do much in reviving confidence generally. Investors still have a wide selection of excellent opportunities. The year-end reinvestment demand should be a stabilizing influence.

GRAIN FUTURES OPEN HIGHER IN CHICAGO BOARD Strong Foreign Markets Are Chief Factors in Wheat. Bv Unitrd Pres* CHICAGO, Dec. 23.—Wheat prices were up fractionally on the Board of Trade at the opening today. Strong foreign markets were the chief factors in the rise, causing scattered buying. Buenos Aires was up 1 cent just before noon and Liverpool stood at 2 to 2'A cents late in the day. Trade was slow, due to the approaching holidays. Corn and oats were unevenly higher to lower. At the opening wheat was up % to 1% cents; corn was ! s cent lower to "s cent higher, and oats was % cent higher to 1% cents lower. Provisions were steady. Liverpool opened considerably better than was expected this morning and held a strong tone during the session, being 1% to 2% cents higher shortly after noon. Reports are that stocks there are decreasing rapidly. Traders were more cautious, after week-end strength showed the advisability of not going short on the breaks, especially now that farm board support has entered the market. Com is maintaining a firm tone, with stocks small and an open interst of more than 6,000,000. with but a few trading days left. While temperatures are higher, snow is reported in parts of the belt. There has been some buying of oats on the shortage in feed grains, with most of the selling lately by the northwest.

CANADA GIVEN HIGH HOPE BY CROPREPORTS Drop in Wheat Yield Seen for Both Australia and Argentina. MONTREAL, Dec. 23.—1f the report of the United States department of agriculture on the wheat •crops In Argentina and Australia is correct there will be much relief felt in Canada. The report places the combined yield of the two countries at 200,000.000 bushels less than last year. Under normal conditions the report would be read with interest in Canada, chefly as a guide to tire probable demand for the Canadian crop for the coming year and as an indication of eh increase or decrease of the probable acreage to go under crop in the coming summer. But with a carry over of more than 100,000,000 bushels of'the 1928 wheat crop still in the Canadian elevators, and with the very great bulk of the 1929 crop still in the country and unsold, not yet indeed offered for sale, a drop of 200.000,000 bushels in the world supply for next year may make a great difference to the wealth of Canada. More than half of all wheat grown in Canada is controlled by the wheat poolfc or co-operative marketing organisations of the western Canadian wheat growers, and while they do not directly control the other half, the policy they adopt is bound to have its effect on those independent operators who do control it. The wheat pools so far have refused to sell their wheat and are sticking to it grimly, in a belief that the price is bound to rise. Pursuance of that policy has so far meant a big loss to transportation companies, both by land and water.
