In the Stock Market

(By Thomson & McKinnon) NEW YORK, Oct. 4.—Wednesday we found as unduly bearish apparently in suggesting that the market may have to stand 15 or 20 minutes of selling to respond to loan figures. It looks as though about four minutes were sufficient and everything In regard to loans and advices from bankers were forgotten, the market went ahead as usual. Evidently the people are perfectly willing to pay any sort of interest for the privilege of carrying stocks and as long as that continues, so long as that sort of an attitude is maintained, why we don’t know what is to stop it. Suppose we will go right ahead until we run into one of those vacuums that we strike once in every so many years when somebody will try to dispose of a few thousand shares and suddenly discover that there isn’t a bid in sight. So all we can do in the meantime is to proceed cautiously.

U. S. CANADIAN WHEAT EXPORT PRICE J PAR High Corn Futures in Argentine Promise Good U. S. Trade. By United Press CHICAGO, Oct. 4.—With nothing in the news to prompt material buying or selling, wheat futures took an irregular trend on the Board of Trade today. Corn continued its upward movement. Oats was steady. Wheat opened V*c off to !&c up, corn was up Va to %c, and oats was unchanged. Provisions were not quoted. December wheat in the market here is selling at about the same price as October and December wheat at Winnipeg, and is therefore on an export basis with the Canadian grains. Bulls believe this factor will strengthen the market. The situation remains basically bearish, however, due to the enormous receipts in Canada and the northwest. In the southwest continued dry weather is impeding planting of winter wheat. The pit element sells corn on bulges but commission houses and eastern concerns have been steady buyers of the December delivery. Argentine corn is now at a higher price than the American grain which would result in good export trade. Strength in corn has been aiding the oats market. Traders predict that oats receipts w’ill Increase as soon as new crop corn begins to move. Chicago Grain Table —Oct. 4 WHEAT— Prev. High. Low. 12:00. close.

HEAVY BUYING FAILS TO BOOST STOCK PRICES Grain of 2.2 Per Cent in September Falls Below August. By 7'imrs Special NEW YORK. Oct. 4.—While many four million share days featured the stock market last month, prices made surprisingly little progress. The aggregate market appraisal of 100 common stocks increased $616,138,000 from $27,589,401,000 on Aug. 31, to $28,205,539,000 on Sept. 29, according to monthly compilation of Frazier Jelke & Cos. This is a gain of but 2.2 per cent and compares with a gain of 8% per cent, or $2,219,835,000, during August, when market activity was much less pronounced. Moreover, approximately 40 per cent of the grain in market valuations indicated for the month of September is traceable to increases in the number of shares outstanding rather than to advance in quotations. Twelve oil stocks appreciated 10.34 per cent last month, twelve motors gained 9.23 per cent, six food product Issues advanced 8.09 per cent, two coppers jumped 5.10 per cent, and four steels were selling 3.95 per cent higher at the end of the month than at the beginning. Changes of less than 3 per cent were indicated for the merchandising, miscellaneous, industrial, chemical, rubber, equipment, utility and rail groups. Without allowing for capital increases, the thirty rail stocks were selling at almost exactly the same price on Sept. 29, as on Aug. 31. The following table shows changes in market value since June 30.

My suffering was so great, nights seemed like years because I could not sleep,” says Mr. Kirby. “However, it was my good fortune to meet the VerWilKo man one day while making the rounds of the Goldsmith Drug Stores, and he told me of the wonderful results received by hundreds of Indianapolis people through the use of VerWilKo. so I decided to try It. After a very brief course of treatment I was entirely relieved. My appetite has also improved and all signs of constipation, gas pains, etc., are gone. “Knowing what I <lo of VERWILKO and the experience of numerous friends, I would suggest to any one suffering from Stomach. Kidney or Liver Trouble, Rheumatism, Neuritis, Catarrh, Constipation. Nervousness or Indpure Blood to take VERWILKO—it’s the most successful medicine known today.” VERWILKO is not a patent medicine, but a prescription used with wonderful success by Dr. J. C.
