Average of twenty utilities was 59 18. off .68, Average of forty bonds was 93 28. off 45. By United Press NEW YORK, Dec. 12.—Appearance of important support in many of the higher grade issues prevented reactionary tendencies from gaining force in the early part of today’s Stock Exchange session. Uneasiness over the closing of the Bank of United States Thursday naturally was in evidence, but leading shares held close to their prejvious levels in relatively quiet trading. Traders were reassured by indications that the local banking situation was rapidly clearing up. Strong buying was evident in Steel common during the first two hours of trading, which buoyed sentiment considerably and prevented reactionary tendencies from gaining force elsewhere. Steel Runs Up Steel ran up more than a point <o 141 shortly after the opening, tnd held that level throughout the morning. Other issues which met excellent support included American ;an, Westinghouse Electric, General Electric, Vanadium end Union Carbide. Gains tn these shares ranged up to a point. Ability of the list to hold firm in the face of Thursday's adverse news was regarded as a good sign in trading quarters and incurad buying. Further weakness in the coppers was largely ignored. Utilities as a group displayed a firm tone and recent liquidation in many of the railroad shares appeared to have lifted for the time being at least. * Utilities Gain International Telephone was a spot in the utilities, advancing a point to 24 in reflection of the notion of directors in maintaining the current $2 annual dividend rate at their meeting Thursday night. Gains of nearly a point ea£h were held through the greater part of the morning by American Telephone, Consolidated Gas, Columbia. Gas and National Power. New York Central was about the only weak spot in the carrier session, breaking nearly 2 points to 317 !4. Pere Marquette fell a point to anew low for the year, but other leaders like Erie, Pennsylvania, Chesapeake & Ohio and Missourt-Kansas-Texas were able to hold above their previous levels.

GRAIN FUTURES HOLD TC FIRM TRADINGRANGE Lack of Influential News Responsible for Dull Market Action. By United Press CHICAGO, Dec, 12. Grains opened steady in a light trade on the Board of Trade this morning, with only moderate buying and selling. Com showed some strength and was fractionally higher on fair support., with no pressure. Liverpool was steady on reports of less favorable weather in Aregntina. Oats were practically unchanged. At the opening wheat was % cent lower to I* cent higher, com was unchanged to % cent higher and oats were unchanged. Provisions were firm. Liverpool was about as expected and stood unchanged to % cent lower at mid-afternoon. Buenos Aires exhibited some strength and was 14 cent higher. Many traders believe that July- wheat, which is not under stabilization influence, has been oversold, due to the poor export demand, and that good buying would bring a sharp advance. There has been no disposition on the part of the farm board to bid old December up but the open interest in this month is 6,636,000 bushels, and should shorts cover a sharp upturn would follow. The same is true of May. The weakness *in stocks affected com Thursday and many holders sold. Support was fairly aggressive on the decline. There will be no large increase in the country movement unless prices rise. Feeders in lowa have been taking corn in good amounts. Oats continued to receive good support on the declines. The movement has been decreasing steadily with the cash demand active. However, the market is swayed by the action of corn or other influences. Chicago Grain Table —Dec. 12WHEAT—(oId). Frey. Hizh.

Giant Ships to Come Here Indianapolis may glimpse one of the twi big thirty-passenger Fokker F-32 planes, now in use by the Transcontinental & Western Air Company on the west coast, as soon as the New York to Los Angeles sky highway is lighted completely. An efficiency record for multimotored planes has been established in the past seven months, according to Jack Frye, vice-president of T. 6 W. A. in charge of operations. The two F-32s have averaged five hours flying time daily since they were put in service last May. In Europe, Frye pointed out, records of one or two hours daily have been considered excellent. Oh! Such Is Fate BvNEA Service SAN DIEGO, Dec. 12.—When Charles Lindbergh came to the Ryan factory to pick out the plane with which he would fly the Atlantic. he saw two alike. He took one, “The Spirit of St. Louis,’’ and that piane now rests in a national institution for the reverence of all who see it. The second, after being used by Frank Hawks, finally found its way to Bernard Law, who still uses it. It’s use, however, isn’t the most pleasant job in the world. It is used to transport fish between Sosa de la Marina in Mexico and the. cities of Brownsville and Matamoras. It’s a very smelly job, too, and the plane is shunned bv all except those who work in it, ft

_ C. R, Akers were the victims of the Standard Oil during the Universal League contests on the Pritchett alleys, losing all three games. The interesting contest of Thursday night was the battle for first place between the Mallory-Weiland and Coca Cola teams. Mallory-Weiland Increased their lead by taking the last game. 962 to 951, to win the rubber. Blue Point Service Station dropped to 860 In their third game to ruin a chance for a 3.000 total. Blacker'* Chill bovs were on the job and avoided a shutout, copping the last one by a wide margin. Claman Lunch nosed out S. S. Service each time, taking the last bv two pins to sweep the the series. Outlaws were the winners of the first two games, but fell to 821 In the third, which Kavo. collected on. Auto Equipment copped the odd game from Emrich Hardware, taking the rubber game by a margin of five pins. Weigel, anchor for Emrich Hardware, failed to nit the 600 mark, which spoiled his record of five totals over this mark in a row. Individual scoring was led bv Sloan, who had a total of 639 with games of 255, 221 and 163 Runvon rolled 622: Maurer. 608; Brill. 615. and Hickey. 603.

Sunday afternoon the B. and O. team will travel to the St. Cecelia alleys, where they will tackle the Community Drug team of the South Side Druggist League. This game should be very Interesting, as both clubs are evenly matched. The Drug store boys will use Harmening. Oberfelt. E. Weimer. Hartnlch and B. Weimer against Stephenson. Kuhn, Wehlage, Beck and Partlov for the railroaders. Meeker-Burnett and Fullmer-Meyer teams were the tig winners during the Women’s Doubles League se.ries. taking three games from Hohlt-Johr.s and M;-Carty-Alllnder. while Craig-Baxter won two from Stuart-McAnly.

The Citizens Gas League, which boasts an entry of twentv-slx teams, the largest in the city, is rapldiv returning to a higher scoring combination. An addition of eight teams to any factory league would naturally lead to lower scores at the start, but the beginners are now starting to hit the pjns and close interesting games are the result.
