'Strongest Sank in Gastern Oregon' Traaiiortalton Shares Infuse Strength In Stocks, NB WTOllK, Dec, SO. Substantial Inquiry for transportation shares Infua ed appreciable activity and strength into the stock market Wednesday aft er an irregular opening in which aev. eral new low records for the year were made. Buying of rails was most marked In the dividend paying issues at gains of 1 to points, but secondary or reor ganised properties of roads, traversing rich agricultural sections of the west and southwest were not neglected. Oils, steels, equipments and motors displayed greater stability than at any time since the recent upheaval and various speculative specialties in the tobaccos, food, chemical and utility groups scored advances. Altogether the movement went far toward confirming the impression that much liquidation of the last fort. night had its inception in definite purposes to establis htax payments for the eypiring year. The day's budget of news again Included backward con ditions in the industrial situation, the Iron Age for example, seeing no pros pects of a "buying spurt" for several weeks. It is believed however, that the first few months of 1921 will wit ness a general demand for supplies, es pecially railway equipment. . Best prices of the day were register ed in the last hou rwhen rails, under the guidance of Northern Pacific, ov ershadowed all other issues and drove the shorts to cover in many ldnustrial stocks: a strong tone ruling at the close. Sales amounted to 1.100,000 shares. Trading in bonds, especially the con vertlble or speculative issues, was in keeping with the demand for stocks, bu tliberty bonds and most Industrials were Irregular.

Bull Ish sentiment revived In the wheat market Wednesday owing more or less to word that a large number of vessels had arrived at Galveston and would load out 6,000,000 bushels within the next few days. Prices closed firm. 1-2 to 40 net higher, with March 1.68 1-4 to l.( 1-2 and May 1.61 1-4 to 1.(1 1-2. Corn gained 1 6-8 to 2d and oats 5-8 to l-2c. In provisions the outcome varied from 2 l-2a decline to 20c advance. At first the wheat market showed a downward tendency largely as a re sult of apparent absence of any sign of new export depression. later, how ever, liberal clearances of wheat and flour from the seaboard attracted ex. tensive notice, and together with the numerous vessel arrivals at Galveston. put the bears at a distadvantage. A broader domestic milling demand for whet was also reported, and country offerings were small despite an ad vance of le for shipment to the gulf. Talk of competition ahead from Ar gentlna failed to act as an offset. Indication of a relatively light move' ment next week helped to strengthen corn after a weak start. There were signs too of a little European buying at both Chicago and St. Louis. Oats followed corn upgrade. Provisions averaged higher with grain, despite lower quotations on hogs. iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii!iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiitiiiiiiiiiiim!iiiiiiiiiiiniiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii 1 Closing Out Our Entire Line of j 1 Phonographs I !
