points throughout the general list.
Altogether tho movement was the
most constructive ' of any In several
weeks and indicated consideration of
unusual investment values.
The Improvement was the more
noteworthy because of its almost un
interrupted progress. Occasional set
backs were nominal and mainly due
to desire to muke profits secure, but
the tone at the close was strong.
Sales amounted to 1,100,000 shares.

Several Factors Combine
to Roost Wheat Prices '
. CHICAGO, Dec. 24. Wheat scored
a sharp advance In price yesterday,
helped by progress of emergency farm
relief measures and by renewal of
stock market strength as well as by
large export sales. Tho finish although
unsettled u 4 to 514 net higher,
with March 1.66 to 1.66 4 and May
1.62 to 1.62 M. Corn gained 1 3-8
to 1 3-4, oats Vi to lc, and provisions
27 to 3c. .
'Decided upward swings began In the
wheat market as soon as trading open
ed. The chief impetus appeared to
come from the House vote favoring the
enactment of a tariff on Imported farm
products. It was known that export
business had been done overnight but
the estimated amount as at first an
nounced was small; later in the ses
sion, however, the total was greatly
expanded, reaching 3,000,000 bushels
and this circumtrtance, together with
material advances In security values
gave a fresh advantage to the wheat
bulls. Evidence that foreigners were
after rye counted also as a stimulus to
the rise in wheat.
Corn and oats reflected the strength
of breadstuffs notwithstanding that
receipts of coarse grain showed con
siderable ' enlargement. Provision?
were lifted by the Jump of cereals and
hogs.

SAX PKANCISCO. Dec. 24. (A P.)
A ."torm of erratic tendencies Which
struck the Pacific coast recently and
subsequently curved back out over
the ocean, moved on the coast again
yesterday, causing rain from Central
California northward over the western
sections of Oregon and Washington,
the weather bureau announced last
night.
Tho storm was accompanied by
gales which caused southeast storm
warnings to be posted from Point
lleyes to Point Tatoosh island. An
other result of the disturbance was
the deepest snow pack In more than
14 years at Summit,, where several
inches were reported on the gratis.
