July 29—Indications of an approaching flurry in call money and uneasiness over the action of the general market exerted a powerful bearish influence on Stock Exchange operations today ano the entire market received its first substantial reaction in many weeks. Heavy blocks of the principal trading stocks poured into the market throughout the session and the entire list displayed a heavy tone. Rome short covering came into evidence at intervals, but only served to check the downswing. Losses of 2 to 6 points were scored in leading issues like Allied Chemical, Consolidated Gas, North American. New York Central. Alleghany Corporation and Bendix Aviation Action of American Telephone and International Telephone was particularly disheartening to the bullish forces, both issues dropping sharply. United State steel, however. met strong support at a small recession. Some attempt was to rally the list in the early afternoon, but, this met with failure when call money was advanced to 10 per cent shortly before 2 o'clock from a renewal rate of 9 per cent. Radio common stood out as a solitary strong spot, holding a point gain through most of the session. Eastman Kodak also showed independent strength, moving up tour points on reports that the company planned an offering of additional stock to present holders at $l5O a share in the ration of one new share for every ten shares held. Utilities and rails bore the brunt Os the selling, although high grade Industrials like American Can, General Electric and Johns-Manville were conspicuously weak. Oils were quiet and mixed.

CANADIAN GRAIN INDICATIONS ARE BELOW AVERAGE Practice of Mixed Farming Relieves Situation to Certain Extent, Bn F'nifrrl Pr< NEW YORK. July 29.—Although indications are that Canada's wheat and coarse grain crop during 1929 will be considerably below the average due to adverse weather condition in the west, the rapid industralization of the dominion makes this less serious, economically, than would have been the case some years ago, says a bulletin oi the natural resources department of the Canadian National Railways. The general practice of mixed farming embracing stock raising, dairying and horticulture, along with a crop of grain, gives grounds also for the belief that the individual farmer will not suffer as in previous years when his whole capital was invested in wheat and coarse grains. Governmental and railway agencies have encouraged mixed farming for many years. Some hint of the industrial expansion which is taking place in Canada is given by the figures for automobile production during 1928 when 242.054 cars were produced, with an agggregate value of $162.867.495, showing an advance over 1927 of $34,166,931. During the first four months of 1929 Canada produced for export 38,377 cars, against 17,298 during the corresponding period of 1928. A bright spot in the 1929 agricultural prospects of Canada lies in the promise of a recoi'd apple crop. This is expected to approximate 3.600,000 barrels, which will be an increase of 11 per cent over 1928. The bulk of this increase will be from Nova Scotia and Ontario, where the orchards are in excellent condition.

LACK OF RAIN REPORTS SEND GRAINS HIGHER Complaints of Firing in Corn Belt Starts Upturn. By Vmte4 Prcst CHICAGO, July 29.—Lack of any soaking rains over the North American spring wheat areas and some bullish reports coming from Australia gave the futures market a sharpTY higher opening today. Complaints of firing from parts of the corn belt boosted that grain. Oats followed with a strong opening. Opening wheat was up % to 1 1 s cents; corn was up 5 i to 1 cent, and oats were 1% cents higher. Provisions suffered a drop. Bull traders are still confident of higher prices in wheat, although periodic recessions are expected. Some, however, believe that the grain has about reached its highest level and that conditions in the northwest and Canada will not affect the wheat from now on. Long trading in corn tends to be more active, due to reports of late crops and firing in some districts. The coarse grain has, in a measure, followed wheat in its climb. The short oats crop has brought this grain to higher levels, though trading has suffered from lack of interest. Late in the day profit-taking had pul'ed wheat back from its top figure. but December was still selling at $1.56%. or 2% cents above Saturday's close. September corn was up to SIOB% and December oat* brought 56% cents. Drought is reported to be datnag'ng wheat in Argentina and Australia. Predictions for a world crop over 650.000.000 bushels less than in 1928 are made.

1 Bv Thomson A- McKinnon ! NEW YORK. July 29.—With the possible exception of the customary month-end tightness in money rates nothing of a disturbing nature is discernable. We can accept the reviews of several of our leading banks as to the present and prospective bright outlook without going into well-known details. Without the aid of the reserve banking interests have succeeded remarkably well in keeping interest rates from mounting to those heights which completely chilled the security markets earlier in the year, and we doubt very much if rates will be permitted to exceed current levels to any great extent. Corporate reports covering the first half of the year will probably continue to absorb the investors attention and with the steel corporation about to report the highest earnings in history an incentive is furnished which we do not. think will fail to stimulate the general market and revive enthusiasm. The past week's reaction has done much to strengthen the technical position and the good stocks, particularly those in the railroad group should begin to retrace lost ground.
