PACE TWELVE Profit Taking Cuts Leaders American Distilling : Breaks Sharply, Unsettling Others By BERNARD S. O'HARA NEW YORK, Dec. 13-W-Scat- tcred favorites . remained on the recovery Bide oX" today's stock market but profit taking , cut down many leaders. Prices began to wilt here and there after the opening and a sharp break in the recently buoy ant American Distilling, which finished down 9M points at 105, was an unsettling factor. Losses of fractions to a point or so predomi nated at the close, although oils and other assorted industrials managed to cling to small plus marks. Thefact that the list, on bal ance, had suffered only one losing session this month, inspired the lightening of accounts in numer ous cases, the theory being that the come-back had been a bit too fast. Year end tax adjustments were more or less negligible and reinvestment demand propped in dividual issues. Expectations of important European war moves served as a purchasing handicap. Oils were aided at the last by action of the house in calling up for immediate action legislation that would strip the OPA of its authority over petroleum ceilings and pave the way for a lift in crude rates. The Associated Press 60-stock average was off 2. of a point at 49. Of 842 issues appearing on the ticker tape, 398 were down, 233 up and 211 unchanged. Thansfers totaled 731,010 shares compared with 866,540 last Friday. J. I. Case got up a point at a new 1943 top but ended unchang ed at 131. American Airlines con ceded 2. Off a point or more were Western Union "A," Du Pont, In " ternational Harvester, Eastman Kodak, Allied Chemical and Cerro De Pasco. Lesser recessions were shown by US Steel, Southern Pa cific, Santa Fe, Sears Roebuck, "Montgomery Ward, United Air craft, Sperry, Anaconda and US Rubber.

Deferred Oats Gain 2 Cents New Peaks Reached But Buying Light, Offerings Few - By WHXIAM FERRIS CHICAGO, Dec,; . 13-ff)-De-f erred deliveries of oats advanced as much as 2 cents today, reach ing' new seasonal peaks, on a small amount of buying which found the market with few offer ings. Other grains, however, met profit-taking . and generally dis played an easier undertone. At the close wheat was low er to higher, December $1.70, oats were unchanged to "2 higher, May 80-79, rye was un changed to, b lower, December $1.21, and barley was unchanged to lower,' December $1.27. De cember oats were quoted alf day at 82 cents, the ceiling. Strength in oats was based upon the strong cash market. Predictions of a cold snap for New England may result in an in creased feeding demand for oats in that area, many traders felt. May and July wheat established new seasonal highs in early deal ings before encountering fairly liberal prom-taking. Some buy ing was attributed to milling ac count. The food distribution ad ministration asked for offers- on 33,000 barrels of flour and the bureau of agricultural economics estimated wheat carryover on July 1, 1944, at 300,000,000 bu shels compared with a carryover of 618,000,000 bushels on that date this year.
