COMMODITY
HUE MORE STABLE
Advance Not Sufficient Yet to
Stimulate Buying.
UPWARD MOVEMENT SLOW
monthly. Stocks of burlap at Calcutta arc
I estimated ts amount to about one month's
! production.
Underlying; these figures Is the fact of
a small yield of Jute this year, which is
! expected la affect prices before a new
I yield Is possible. The mills at Calcutta
reoently agreed to continue a four-day-a
week working: schedule indefinitely, with
the right to five notice of a change 00
days in advance.
Soon after the news of a light yield of
Jute was confirmed, the markets roe
rapidly, but have since receded to levels
about as low as at any time this year.
A great deal of the war-time speculation
In burlaps has been eliminated by the
low prices and uncertainties of the p
few months, and the larger and older Im
porting houses are becoming more confi
dent that the market will soon enter upon
a period of greater stability.
RULE AT CLOSE
General Price Ijevel About 3 Ter
Cent Above Low Basis
of July 1.
The trend toward Increasing .lability
of commodity markets, which has been
a recent Jcature, ts asaln evidenced In
Xun's Index number of wholesale quota
tions. If the advance becomes more pro
flounced, enlarged buying operations can
be looked for.
While the (tetters! prloe level, after two
consecutive month of recovery, is only 2.9
por cent above the low basis of July 1
last, yet even the small advance is sig
nificant o' 'he chanred situation that has
lately developed. Despite continued Ir
resularlty and weakness In some quarters,
the point Is being gradually reached where
nnsettlement Is diminishing, and the les
sening of wide price fluctuations Influ
ences sentiment favorably. Response to
the constructive factors present does not
eome quickly, but the more stable price
conditions should ultimately prove help
ful to buslnej?s.
At 1184.581 on December 1, representing
the wholesale cost per capita of a year's
supply of commodities. Dun's index num
ber is 0 6 por cent higher than the Novem
ber 1 figure, which, in turn, revealed a
rise of 11 per cent over the October 1
total. Comparing with a year ago, when
the tendency was nharply downward, a
decline of 22. 3 per cent Is disclosed, while
the current compilation marks a fall of
87.5 per cent from the top level estab
lished on May 1, last year.
After such a readjustment, with much
greater yielding In various Individual com
modities. It Is not strange that firmness
Is now replacing depression In different
markets. Of the seven divisions Into
which the Index number is separated, the
meat and metals clashes alone were lower
on December 1 than a month previous;
whereas, on the other hand, all groups
how reductions from the totals of a year
go.

INDUSTRIAL OUTLOOK 18 PROMISING
Retail Holiday Trade Gain In Activity;
Heavyweight Goods In Demand.
NEW YORK, Dec 16. Dun's Review
tomorrow will say:
With the year end only a fortnight dis
tant and holiday Interruptions Imminent,
it is obviously not the time to expect sig
nificant changes In business. Dispatches
from widely separated centers indicate
that retail trade has gained In activity
and distribution of heavyweight goods has
been quickened by sharply lowered tem
peratures In different sections. These are
purely seasonal phases, however, and the
fact is not obscured that most consumers
are purchasing with greater discrimination
and with closer regard tor pricea
The outlook In various basic Industries
remains more or less uncertain, but it is
not unpromising. "

Standard Issues Are Backward.
Lighter Demand for Bonds,
Which React on Realizing.
NEW TORK. Dec. 16. The aggressive
buying movement that featured yester
day's session of the stock exchange was
lacking today. Trading was fairly active
but ran more to speculative or selected
Issues.
Overnight developments, such as Ger
many's virtual default, the closing of coal
mines In the Pennsylvania district and
prospective reductions In automobile prices
were among the several Incidents calcu
lated to diminish bullish enthusiasm.
The cuts in prices announced by one ef
the chief subsidiaries of the United States
Steel corporation and further declines in
quotations for scrap Iron and steel were
Indicative of the backward trend in that
industry.
Foreign exchanges continued to be ad
versely affected by the German situation.
Coalers finally threw off professional
selling pressure, but njany of the lesa Im
portant industrials and miscellaneous
stocks reacted one to two points on moder
ate offerings.
Oils again supplied a disproportionate
bar of the dav'a business. eSDecially sec
ondary or low a-rade Issues. Steels and
eoulnments were mixed, as were also mo
tors and their specialties, but gains ruled
at the Irregular close. Sales were 850.000
shares.
Call loans opened and renewed Into next
week at S per cent, the rate later rising
to 6 against yesterday's maximum of 6
per cent. Quotations for time funds were
unaltered, but money was more ireeiy oi
fers1 for the shorter maturities.
There was a pronounced falling off In
the demand for bonds, most of which. In.
cludinx liberty issues, reacted on further
realizing. The new New iora city oo,-
000.000 offering sold at a slight premium.
The forela-n division was Irregular at nomi-
nal changes. Total sales, par value, (18.-
350,000.

Aside from the weather Influence, which
gave bears the advantage, attention In
the wheat pit focused chietly on the Kan
sas state crop report. During the early
trading, the enlargement In the Kansas
estimated yield, as compared with the
government August returns and with last
year's harvest, was something of a Mim
ulus to the bears, but In the last part of
the day was practically offset by knowl
edge that Kansas farm re-serves were rig'
ured as being oO,0H,000 bushels lens than
was the cane a year ago. Based on pre
liminary thrvhlng returns, the Argentine
crop was estimated today at lR7.0K,tH0
bushels a. atralnst 169.0UO.OOO hush els nar
vested last year. Taken as a whole, trade
lacked volume, and althougn riuctuations
were numerous they at no time got beyond
a range of lSic.
Corn and oats, like wheat, held within
narrow limits. For the most part, dealings
were of a local character. Slowness of ex
port call for corn was a subject of com
ment, but value were upheld by prospec
tive Ruaslan relief demand.
Provisions showed no derided change.
Packers sold. Eastern interests were buyers.
The Chicago grain letter received yes
terday by the Overbeck &. Cooke company

due to selling Inspired by the unsettled
weather In the southwest and a Kansas
state report Increasing the yield of the

bushels. The latter was completely over
shadowed by a later report estimating
the farm reserves of thtit state at only

which would not be the case if offerings
of cash grain were excessive. Conditions
are shaping .more and more in favor of

Corn Very little feature to this mar
ket, futures ma in tain in g an undercurrent
of strength despite the sluggish demand
nd lower prices for the cash article. 1
Some report claimed Increased country ,
offerings, but on the average country sell-
1 ig was reported only moderate. This
condition will undoubtedly be a factor

we favor the buying side of futures at
this time. I
Oats Buying by shipping Interests was
the outstanding feature. Imparting
strength to this market. The cash mar-j
ket was heavy. The period of accumula
tion Is over as far as oats are concerned.
Any Important Improvement In the .de
mand for domestic or foreign account
