Adverse Factors Continue
at Work on Stocks.
NEW YORK. Dec. . Additional
depreciation of quoted values on the
stock exchange yesterday was accen
tuated by a continuance of the many
adverse factors which have kept the
securities market In a state of fer
ment for the past month.
Standard or representative shares
werej relatively steady hut speculative
issues, including numerous specialties
which are likely to modify or suspend
dividend payments, broke 2 to 8 points.
Pierce Arrow preferred was in a class
by itself, sustaining a gross decline of
almost 20 points, but regaining about
half.
Concrete examples of dividend pol
icy were furnished by Stromfterg Car
buretor, directors of which ordered a
50 per cent cut in the quarterly dis.
bursement, and United States Food
Products, whose executive commit.tce
recommended the passing of the cur
rent dividend on that stock. There
was heavy selling of Mexican Oil and
Pan American- Petroleum at extreme
ercessions of 8 and 4 points, respec
tively, based in part fi the failure of
the latter company to announce its
'dividend accompanied by rumors that
proposed absorption of Mexican Oil
was off. Other oils fell 2 to 7 points
and motor accessories 2 to 5. Steels.
Including Vanadium, which announc
ed an Indefinite suspension of domes
tic operations, broke. 1 to 5, and reces
sions In food, metal, chemical and fer
Itiliser Issues ranged from 2 to 5
! points. Irregular rallies at the close
I were most effective in Investment
stocks. Included In the few actual
gains of the session was People's Gas,
which rose four points. Sales amount
ed to 865,000 'shares.
The noteworthy feature of the mon
ey market was the absence of new of
ferings of time funds, all accommoda
tions being limited to renewals. For
eign exchange was a trifle steadier,
Scandinavian rates rallying sharply.
Local tract is were the weak fea
tures of the bond list, where lower
quotations prevailed. Total sales, par

wheat market average lower Wednes
day notwithstanding several lively bul
ges. It was not definitely known un
til long after the close that meanwhile
purchasing for shipment to Europe
had been or. a mucn larger scale than
usual. Prices closed settled, 2-4 to 1
1-4 net lower with Dec. 1,69 and
March l.H S-4 to 1.67. Corn finished
3-8 off to 6-8 up, oats gained 1-4 to
1-2. In provisions the outcome was
unchanged to 25c lower.'
Opening prices for wheat had a no
ticeable upward swing, chiefly as a re
sult of rains in Argentina and of at
tention given to Indianapolis dispatch
es about plans to finance exports. Ad
vances In the markei, however, were
soon more than wiped out through the
enlargement of selling pressure and
through opinions which were rife that
urgent foreign buying in the U. S. was
nearly at an end. Removal of hedges
on Canadian wheat taken by the Brit
ish doyal commission tended to lift
prices later, and so too did talk of
placing an immediate embargo on
wheat imports Into this country. Nev
ertheless gains failed to last. It was
nearly nightfall before estimates were
out putting European buying of do
mestic wheat at 1.50o,0f 0 bushels and
of rye at 40,000 bushels. Xew Re
quirements of Canadian wheat for
Great Brita'n were said to total 2,000,-
000 bushels..
Corn and oats were steadied by re
ports that the movement of corn waj
not increasing to the extent that many
traders had looked for.
Provisions fluctuated in line with
the hog market, closing weak.
