In the Stock Market

(By Thomson & McKinnon) NEW YORK, Aug. 30.—A fair analysis is of the stock market each day. carefully scrutizing every move and recording every idea published would, if reduced to simple words, make the same story every day. This statement, we think, would embrace the market during the past few weeks. There is only this difference, that our operations' consist of buying A, B and C on Monday and X, Y and Z on Wednesday. When profits are taken they sell off some, but the general level is not' materially impaired. We don’t see the end in sight, though we do see likelihood of an increasing desire to take profits and we approach the end of the month. Money needs an extra holiday before us. As to the brokers’ loan report to be published this afternoon we don’t think there is any question but that it will' show a fair-sized increase, subect only to such modification as may result from some changes in the bond market.

Two persons were missing today after the steam tow boat Aliquippa of the Vest Company overturned in eighteen feet of water in the Ohio River near the Aliquippa plant of the Jones and Laughlin Steel Company. Sixteen other persons, who were aboard the vessel when it overturned, reached shore safely. The two reported missing are: Christine Denlocki, 25, a chambermaid, and William Atkins, 30, a deckhand. The craft was 165 feet long. Shortly after 1 a. m. it sought to hook on to several barges loaded with steel for Mississippi points. She was about 100 yards off shore and officials of the Jones and Laughlin Company said apparently the boat struck a snag. It overturned immediately, and a few minutes after the accident all that was visible was the flat bottom of the tow boat.

LEVY CUT HITS STREETPLANS Widening Is Curtailed by Budget Slash. Curtailment of the street widening program contemplated by the city plan commission in 1929 will be necessary under the reduced budget ordered by the city council. The city plan commission recommended the maximum thoroughfare fund levy of 3 cents, but only a ..015 rate has been approved by the council. The Sixteenth St. widening project will be the first to be underI taken, according to Macklin Mack, j city plan commission engineer. The ! board of works contemplated the ! widening of the thoroughfare from Delaware to Northwestern Ave. and elimination of the Illinois St. jog at a cost of $352,000. The city will pay 75 per cent and property owners 25 per cent of costs. There is a balance of $207,000. This with the SIOO,OOO available in 1929’, will enable the city to make two smaller improvements, Mack said. The contemplated widening of Michigan as an east and west artery and several other important jrojects wil! be delayed, Mack said. It is hoped that the removal of a jog on Cruse St„ between Maryland to Bates and elimination of a point on Shelby at Prospect St„ can be accomplished with the Balance to develop the southeastern artery.

WHEAT PRICES EASE AS BEARS RULE TRADING Buyers Predict New Drop in Wheat: Corn Is Irregular. By United Press CHICAGO, Aug. 30.—Bearish sentiment prevailed at the opening on the Board of Trade today and wheat prices eased slightly. Sep- 4 tember corn continued weak, but the deferred months held firm. Oats was little changed. Wheat opened unchanged to Vic lower, corn ranged from lc off to %c up and oats was unchanged to %c off. Provisions were slightly lower. At the close Wednesday, wheat traders were of the opinion that prices would work lower for a time unless weather conditions in the Northwest change and buying power here improves. Liberal deliveries of cash wheat on September contracts are expected Saturday, as elevator interests are said to be well satisfied wjth prices. No deliveries of September corn are expected on Saturday. September has been pursuing an erratic course, fluctuating rapidly under only a light trade. Weather over the belt continues favorable, except in Nebraska, where firing was reported. Oats receipts have been below expectations and the belief has prevailed that farmers are holding out for better prices. Chicago Grain Table —Aug. 30— WHEAT— Prev. High. Low. 12 m. close.
