STEEL COES UP WHILE GENERAL MOTDRSDROPS Fear of Increase in Brokerage Loans brings Irregularity.

Average Stock Prices

Average of twenty Industrials Wednesday was 194.53, off .84. Average of twenty rails was 139.46, off .07. Average of forty bonds was 99.13, up .07. r • Bu United Press NEW YORK, Nov. 17.—Fears that brokerage loans would show a substantial increase in the report to be issued after the close of the market today brought selling at the opening of the stock market and early dealings were marked with irregularity. However, changes were relatively small with more gains than losses. General Motors and United States Steelmove in opposite directions at the outset with Steel off and Motors up. Later they reversed these positions with Steel rising in good demand and Motors under pressure. Motors Up Again Motors and motor accessories were again bid up. Reynolds Spring came into prominence with a gain of % to %. Reports are current that a group is seeking to raise this issue above ten. Irregularity which characterized Wednesday’s market was in evidence in early dealings today. Steel common, Union Carbide, American Can and other leaders sold off. However, offerings were largely for the short account, representing efforts of the bear crowd to start a fresh reaction. Irregularity Continues Irregularity continued through the second hour despite the better tone in Steel and General Motors. Commercial Solvents dropped 4!4 to 156, Loew’s % to 55%, Houston Oil a point to 156%, and Missouri Pacific preferred fractionally. However, the main body of stocks maintained a confident tone and many issues were sharply higher. Demand developed for Radio Corporation, carrying the price to 83, up 2 points from the previous close, and within a fraction of its high record. National Surety spurted % to 317%, anew peak and General Electric continued in strong demand around 131%, up nearly a point. Copper issues were strong and motor issues held early gains.

In the Stock Market

(By Thomson & McKinnon) NEW YORK, Nov. 17.—The pressure of the investment demand was shown in Wednesday’s large turnover of bonds. It was shown in the active demand for dividend paying stocks. It will continue this pressure for the supply of funds seeking re-employment will increase rather than diminish during the remainder of the year. It is accomplished by more favorable news developments, the upturn in steel production, improvement in general trade, gradual shaping of railway consolidation policy, the removal of French tariff discrimination an(f the growing belief that 1928 is to be another highly prosperous year. There are bound to be periods of profit-taking and irregularity, but I believe a strong market is gradually getting under way and would suggest keeping pace with it.

In the Sugar Market

(By Thomson & McKinnon) NEW YORK. Nov. 17.—Despite the nervousness due to various interpretations of the Parte dividend payments, there is a stronger undertone to the sugar market than has prevailed for some time. Prominent sugar house in analyzing the latest Cuban statistics finds that there will remain available for sale, after the allotment to the export commission, etc., only about 426,000 tons. Os this a part is reserved for refining in Boston and Philadelphia under special contracts with the balance controlled by large interests who have confidence in the market. I think we wIU sea higher prices. Bu United Press NEW YORK, Nov. 17.—Sugar opened 1 to 2 points higher. December, 2.90; January. 2.93; March. 2.89; May. 2.97; July. 3.04; September. 3.12.

(RAIN PRICES UP LITTLE IN DULL_SESSIUN Foreign Wheat Displays Strength During the Day. Bu United Press CHICAGO, Nov. 17.—Today’s session on the Chicago Board of Trade was dull, with grain prices late in the day slightly above Wednesday’s close. - Wheat was Inactive, the initial upturn at the opening being practically the only price movement of consequence up to the last hour. Locals were bearish, but the country at large was inclined to buy on Winnipeg and Liverpool strength. Winnipeg was strong on a Canadian export business of 1,000,000 bushels. Liverpool worked higher on good continental demand. Receipts here were eleven cars and the cash market was unchanged. The uncertainty of husking reports and the absence of other consequential news made corn traders cautious and kept the range narrow. Some points reported disappointingly small yields and poor quality grain. Weather was unsettled, with more snow over the belt. Receipts were small at seven-ty-one cars and cash corn was steady. Oats were dull and featureless, although Northwestern and other outside interests showed signs of buying early In the day. Provisions worked lower. Chicago Grain Table —Nov. 17WHEAT— Prev. High.

PREDICT END 1 urn RULE Senators Say Majority to Nominate Democrat. Bu United Press WASHINGTON, NOV. 17.—Senate* Walsh, Montana, and Senator Caraway, Arkansas, predicted today that the next Democratic presidential candidate will be nominated by a majority instead of a two-thirds vote. Chairman Clem L. shaver of the Democratic national committee is here conferring with party leaders on the subject. Walsh said privately he favored abolishing the two-thirds rule, which tied the last Democratic convention in a long deadlock. He said abrogation of the rule is “very likely.” Caraway went further. He said his information was that a majority of the national committee was ready to adopt a resolution to that effect at the meeting of the committee next January. Later, the chairman of the convention, he said, will declare it to be the rule of the convention. If objections arise a majority vote will be sufficient to sustain the chairman. In this way it will be unnecessary for a two-thirds vote to repeal the rule, Caraway pointed out. Shaver is represented as believing the rule will not be abrogated.
