Average of twenty Industrial Saturday was 194.11, up .75. Average of twenty rails was 139.41,-up .64. Average of forty bonds was 98.96, ofT .01. Bu United Press NEW YORK, Nov. 14.—After holding at fractionally higher levels in the first few minutes of trading today leaders began a slight decline. A large amount of profit-taking was making itself felt. Steel common opened up % at 139%, but dropped to 139%, while General Motors dropped from 138%, up %, to 132. Mack Truck, Nash and North American, Houston Oil and quite a number of other issues were fractionally lower. International Harvester soared to anew high at 242, up 2% points, and held the gain. Mail order, department store and tobacco stocks continued in demand with American Tobacco B up a point. Railroad issues gained under the lead of Atchison. Bethlehem Steel led independent Steel issues with a gain of 34 at 54% Improved sentiment regarding business conditions brought an accumulation of buying orders over the week-end and stocks displayed a buoyant tone at the opening of the market. Demand converged uargely on issues whose earnings are feeling the stimulating influence of larger purchasing power in the agricultural sections and expanding sales with the arrival of more seasonal weather. International Harvester spurted 2% points to 242, Associated Dry Goods a point to 49%, and Arnold Constable a poinrto 50%. Bullish Trend at Noon Speculative attention around noon centered on vigorous bullish demstrations in special groups, including copper, farm implement and equipment shares. Copper shares were stimulated by further price stiffening. At 13% cents copper is at its most profitable level for producing companies in many months. This caused a spurt of a point in Kennecott, which sold at 80%, while Calumet & Arizona jumped 2% to 92%; American Smelting, 1% to 172%; Anaconda, 1% to 49%, and Magma, 1% to 51%.

In the Stock Market

(By Thomson & McKinnon) NEW YORK, Nov. 14.—News developments over the week-end have not been of a nature to induce a change in market sentiment. The present market position is a logical one. While speculation demands further assurance of trade recovery, investment demand is content to ignore momentary price changes in favor of the income to be derived from seasoned securities, forming the basis on which the market is now depending for support. In the meantime there is a distinctly better tone to trade. There is no reason to expect any immediate change in the money situation. Should the call money market be disturbed by Government operations, it will be of only momentary duration. I regard the trend of events as leaning to the constructive side and believe good stocks should be bought. SARGENT CONFERS ON RELIEF FOR VERMONT Coolidge Emissary to Flood Area Ik aches Montpelier.

WHEAT IS ONLY GRAIN TO OPEN CHANGEDJODAY Major Cereal Begins Session Over One-Half Cent Lower. Bu United Press CHICAGO, Nov. 14.—Wheat was the only grain future to change from Saturday’s closing prices, at today’s opening on the Chicago Board of Trade. Wheat opened V*c to %c off; com unchanged to %c lower; and oats %c off to %c higher. Despite the sharp rally caused Saturday by the lowering of the Canadian government wheat estimate, traders were beginning this morning to awaken to the fact that even the low estimate was a large figure. The trade was eagerly awaiting the visible report, and an increase probably would cause further pressure. Liverpool was about as expected. Canadian weather was cold. Corn traders were looking for a continuation of the heavy trend of Saturday’s market. There was little news in the pit. Temperatures over the belt were higher than Saturday night. The crop movement figures were conceded to be the real price factor in today’s trading. There was no news in oat** and prices were expected to trail with corn and wheat. Provisions opened lower.
