Press NEW YORK, Aug. 29.—Buoyancy in United States Steel, General Motors and other pivotal shares brought a better tone into the stock: market today after early irregularity. However, buying activities were confined 1b a comparatively small number of issues and there were numerous declines, some of them of wide proportions. United States Steel crossed 145 to new high ground, while General Motors made a record above 251, the new above 126, and General Electric above 138. Du Pont soared more than 3 points to record territory, and new highs were scored by American Can, Kelley Springfield issues and National Cash Register. Timken rose 8 and held most of the advance, while Wright Aero gained consistently, as did Atchison, American Smelting and Harvester shares. Investigation Hurts Vulcan Detlnning, being investigated by the New York Exchange, dropped 10 points in odd lot transactions. United States Cast Iron Pipe sold off sharply, making anew low for the year at 197. Mack Truck was among other Issues presenting an easier tendency. Describing the market, the Wall Street Journal’s financial review said: “Conflicting opinions existed In the financial community at the start of the new week regarding fall business prospects. Pessimists called attention to the la ik of any signs of seasonal acceleration in basic industries, particularly Steel. Await New Ford But interests with a hopeful attitude ascribea the dullness in steel trade prinoipally to the hesitation in tpe automobile industry. It was predicted that this wouki disappear when the uncertainty regarding the new Ford model was eliminated. Meanwhile the demand for structural steel products Continued good, as did the buying in merchandising and general lines. In view of the low ebb of inventories, many bankers held to the belief tjhat an upward .turn in business activities during the autumn months was virtually assured. That the most Influential Interests were in an optimistic frame of mind was demonstrated by the action of the principal industrial stocks. Aggressive professional attempts to start a reaction in these issues were overcome, and the leaders continued upward with Steel common displaying impressive strength.

In the Sugar Market

By Thoinson & McKinnon) NEW YORK. Auk. 2B.—Several Motors have contributed to the stronger position ot the sugar market as It has recently developed. confidence seems to have been restored and- there has been good trade and speculative buying. The long overdue demand for refined has made Us appearance with active buying of Cuban sugar by foreign markets. There Is apparently a much stronger position among the Cuban holders who are evidently In much better shape to dictate prices than they were a short time ago. Indications are that there will be a moderate reduction In European crop estimates as compared with a short time ago. Speculative opportunities In the later months are more pronounced.

WHEAT DROPS THRUOUT GRAIN TRADE SESSION Closes Nearly 4 Cents Off —Smaller Losses in Other Cereals. Bn United Press CHICAGO, Aug. 29.—Futures in all grains took a decided slump at today’s session on the Chicago Board of Trade, wheat closing sharply 3% to 3"4 cents lower than Saturday’s close; corn 2% to 3% cents down, and oats % to 2% cents lower. The opening found wheat 1% cent lower and the price went steadily downward all session. Losses were due to extremely low Liverpool cables, better weather in both Europe and America, and extensive movement of new spring wheat to the Minneapolis market. There was no export business. The visible supply increased 3,000,000 bushels. Receipts here were 239 cars. The cash market was 2% to 3 cents lower. Corn lacked support when weather in the belt was reported good and crop progress excellent, and declined throughout the day with the weakness in wheat. Receipts were 370 cars.
