WALZER United Press Financial Editor NEW YORK, Dec. 11.—Stocks dropped to new low levels for the mejor decline in all the principal groups today after a brief period of resistance to pressure. Steel common rose to 48 1 , its previous close, after opening with a fractional decline, then dropped abruptly to 46%, off 2 Va . Steel’s weakness brought the whole market into reverse and around noon losses were in the majority, ranging to 2 points. New lows were made by a long list of issues. A few shares broke sharply, including Remington Rand, second preferred, whiih hit 15, off 14 points, and Standard Gas 6 per cent preferred at 60, off 14%. New lows v ere made by several of the lowpriced issues, including Fox Film A, Transamerica and National Cash Register. Railroad shares made a better showing than other groups. Pennsylvania and Great Northern preferred held small gains around noon, while only fractional losses were noted in New York Central and Chesapeake <fc Ohio. Union Pacific and Atchison lost more than a point. Conflicting reports were circulated regarding the probable outcome of the conference of railroad union leaders at Chicago. One report expressed belief the workers would reject the proposed 10 per cent wage reduction. In such case, it was said, the railroads would immediately issue a thirty-day notice of a 15 per cent reduction and proceed to direct negotiations with the men. If negotiations failed the question then would go to arbitration. Other reports said the workers had agreed on a reduction. Some selective buying came into various individual issues during the first two hours of trading. Consolidated Gas met support after a decline of nearly 2 points to 62%. American Telephone resisted pressure and held above its low of Thursday. Electric Power and Light and Columbia Gas were carried down to new lows.

Indianapolis Livestock Review

WEEK ENDING DEC. 10 Bv U. S. Dept, of Agriculture HOGS t There has been no improvement in the hog situation during the past week and the downward march of prices still continues. even if it is in a mild form. In spite of the narrow range of daily price movement, usually within a 5 to 10 cent spread, a net loss of around 20 cents has been uncovered. A slight decrease in local receipts as compared with last week was not sufficient to offset the lack of confidence of many associated with the indusWhile local packers and order buyers are striving to maintain prices for hogs and pork products on a profitable basis, other depressing factors have exerted a marked influence Bulk prices today were $4.15 to $4.30, for weights from 160 to 300 pounds, the latter price paid generally for 160 to 200-pound operings. This compares with a spread of $4.35 to $4.50 for the same weights last Thursday. For some time pigs and light lights from 100 to 160 pounds sold on a parity with weights over 160 pounds, but a shift in the schedule Thursday placed weights irom 130 to 160 pounds 5 to 10 cents under those weights, with pigs under 130 pounds usually 25 cents or more under desirable lights. Packing sows cashed generally from $3.25 to $3.75, a few light butcher sows up to $4. CATTLE Forgetting the upper crust of strictly choice long fed steers, which have been in the minority at all major markets this week, and have been conspicuous at Indianapolis by their total absence, the week’s trade has been a series of disappointments to the selling side. Encouraged perhaps by the extremely high valuation placed on long fed and thoroughly finished steers recently, some producers and salesmen have undoubtedly overestimated the worth of short fed and warmed up steers of comparable quality but lacking finish. This condition has been evident here and around the circuit during the past week. Numerous loads of near good cattle have been offered and the trade was apparently not prepared to absorb them except at substantial price concessions. At times buyers and sellers were so far apart in their idea that a common meeting place could hardly be expected. However, with concessions on both sides, bulk sales for the week figure from 25 cents to $1 lower, with the average loss 25 to mostly 50 cents. Camparisons with two weeks ago and a moncli ago make prevailing prices seem unusually low. but when killing and marketing costs are considered, in connection with a variable eastern outlet, the net return to packers may be as little or less than that received by the producer of these seemingly low priced cattle. For the week, steer sales bulked from $4.75 to $7.25, the weight ranging from 920 to 1,220 pounds. Common killers sold downward from $4.50. A sprinkling of lightweights, mostly odd head, in a range of $8 to $lO were not obtainable in sufficient volume to affect the average cost. Beef cows changed little, if any. during the period, although some daily fluctuations were noticeable, due latgely to restricted supplies or urgent demand from local sources. Better grades cashed from $3 to $4 with a few to $4.25 and $4.50. Low cutters and cutters bulked at $1.50 to 52.75, not many below $2. Heifers lost a little ground but probably "not enough to justify comment. Bulk of the available supply cashed from $3.40 to ; 6.50 and a few desirable lightweights cleared in a small way from $7 to S8"50. Vealers moved within a dollar range during the period under review. Starting with a 50 cent decline last Saturday which was retained until Wednesday, when a 50 cent untur.n was recorded, bringing the top price back to $7.50. Aonther 50-cent advealers selling up to SB. Good and choice ' ealers selling up to SB. Good and choice handvweights have sold from $6.50 to SB, closing at the full advance, lower grades on down to $4 and less. SHEEP Last Thursday's level for lamb nrices has been consistently maintained in the face of normal marketing. There seems tc be a dependable outlet for all available offerings at Drices on a Darity with competitive markets, especially when daily marketings are reasonably uniform in volume and consist. For the Thursday to Thursday period, good _ and choice lambs usually realized $5.75 and $6. mostly the latter. Several westerns and a few nat : vas sold up to $6.10 and an extreme top of 6.25 was recorded. Throwouts ranged downward to $4 pnd less. Ewes held to tb- old price level, mostly $1.50 to $2.25. with a few lightweights higher, and common kinds under SI.OO. New York Bank Stocks tßv Thomson & McKinnon 1 —Dec. 10Bid. Ask.

WHEAT SHOWS WEAK TONE ON ‘ FOREIGN NEWS Irregular Securities Trade Is Factor in Early Sales. BY HAROLD E. RAINVILLE United Pres* Staff Correspondent CHICAGO, Dec. 11. Wheat opened unevenly lower on the Board of Trade today, but the losses were mostly in the minor fractions. Easiness at Liverpool and an irregular stock market were not encouraging ! to buyers, but selling was only scat- ! tered. Liverpool had a better demand, but prices dropped. Corn took its cue from wheat and was lower. Oats was easy in a dull trade. At the opening wheat was unchanged to % cent lower, corn was unchanged to lower and oats 14 cent off. Provisions were weak. Liverpool was lower than expected, although the drop in sterling was partially responsible for the to % pence decline by mid-after-noon, equal to 14 to % cent. Wheat is ruling erratic and follows the trend of stocks rather than news individual to itself. The cash corn situation is having a strengthening effect on the futures. Corn is moved westward from Kansas, Colorado, lowa and Nebraska to the Pacific coast and liberal amounts are said to have moved by gulf. Rains were general I this morning particularly in lowa. Oats traders spend most of their 1 time watching the major pits and | the market for the most part remains under the guidance of wheat. Operators are waiting for some incentive to move the market either way. Meanwhile, trade is running light. Chicago Grain Range —Dec. 11— WHEAT— Prev i__ High.

(Bv Thomson & McKinnon) NEW YORK, Dec. 10.—Aside from a little professional selling and a few casual buying orders from the trade, nothing occurred in the cotton market this morning. The : range was less, and the volume 1 smaller than for any other day we recall for the entire year. There was a good turnover in actual cotton in the Liverpool market and the major part of it was American for the reason that we are underselling the rest of the world. The south isn’t saying much about acreage reduction, but our own advices are to the effect that the movement is gaining strength and will be much more of a serious matter than the trade believes at the present time. The same difference between spots and contracts exists and one need look no further for the reason w’hy so little is doing in hedge selling. CHIICAGO —Dec. 10High. Low. Close.
