PROFIT-TAKING FAILS TO SEND STOCKSLOWER Many Sales Express Desire to Get Out of Market Over Holidays.

Average Stock Prices

Average for twenty Industrials for Wednesday was 372 06. oIT 1.73. Average of twenty rails was 184.87. up 2 25. Aver, age of forty bonds was 62.40, up .17. Bu United Press NEW YORK, Aug. 29.—Although there was much profit selling by traders desirous of being out of the market over the three-day holiday, the stock list today gave a good account of itself. Ma~ - ies were carried to new high ground with gains ranging from five to thirty points. Dealings fell off in volume, but there was considerable activity in a few special issues. Rail shares held strong, with the leader, Atchison, rising to anew record. Pennsylvania was whirled to 110, anew peak, and other issues of the carrier group made substantial gains. Utilites were coming back to favc" ’"te in the day and wide gains wc scored in such stock as International Telephone and Telegraph, National Biscuit. Freeport Texas and Montgomery Ward. Advances of 6 or 7 points were scored by a dozen or so issues, and the widest advance of the day was made by Pere Marquette, which was forced up 30 points, one-third of which was held. At its high of 260, Pere Marquette holdings of Chesapeake <fc Ohio were enhanced by more than $10,000,000. and this stimulated buying of C. & O. Amusements Strong Negotiations for acquisition of Hartman Corporation, operators of a chain of forty-four department stores, by Montgomery Ward helped that company's stock. Rumor that negotiations for the merger of Paramount and Warner Brothers were nearing completion helped stocks of both those companies into higher ground.. Best gains were made by Air Reduction, Allied Chemical, American Type Founders, Associated Dry Goods, Columbian Carbon, Fashion Park, Loose Wiles, Macy. National Biscuit, National Lead, Standard Gas, Stone & Webster, and Union Pacific. A fair number of small losses were dotted about here and -there in the list in the late afternoon as profittaking became more severe. But call money ruled at 9 per cent and there appeared to be a plentiful supply, this factor helping stay the recession. Buying, however, went ahead in the leading issues of the final gong. American Telephone was a stock to meet lighter demand today. It hovered around its previous close most of the session. United States Steel declined at the outset, but rallied later. General Motors eased off.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

WEAK CABLES SEND FUTURES MARKETDOWN Embargo Is Lifted at Northern Cities; Oats Up. Bu United Press CHICAGO, Aug. 29.—The weakness of Liverpool cables sent wheat slightly lower again today. The British market has been effected by the immense shipments of grain into England, and the bearish wheat crop news from the continent. At the opening wheat was % to 1 cent lower, corn was unchanged to % cent down and oats were unchanged to % cent up. The embargo at Minneapolis, Duluth and Superior has been lifted on oats, rye and barley, thus indicating that the congestion has been relieved. Weather over the wheat belt remains warm and without rain. Only light rains were received in Argentina, Decrease in receipts here is creating the belief among the trade that the farmer is about through shipping old corn to market and this is expected to aid prices materially. Wheat continues to exert a depressing effect. The strength of oats Wednesday due to a material decrease in receipts attracted the attention of the trade.

Installment selling is rapidly spreading throughout the major world countries, and aided by American finance companies is destined to increase notably the general level of purchasing power and produce a wide market for American products, according to B. Hwoschinsky, assistant vice-presi-dent of the Central Hanover Bank and Trust Company, writing in the current issue of Forbes magazine. Raw silk futures with an approximate value of $13,221,000, establishing anew all time high record, have already been traded on this month at the National Raw Silk Exchange in New York, according to Jerome Lewine, president.

It is a marked improvement over other models. Production will start within a few weeks. The Pines Winterfront Company is the largest manufacturer of automatic radiator shutters. In the current issue of Barron's Financial Weekly, the Trader again cites ‘‘the opinion expressed now and then by certain important banking interests that the market was too high but was probably going higher.” At present, speculation shows a tendency ■‘^o , rely on market momentum rather than on the Imminence of unusually stimulating developments. That is why, until there are definite signs of an impairment of earning power, speculation may continue to rage until It gets out of hand.” The market list is. however, vulnerable to any concerted wave of profit-taking, for “the rise In values in the past two weeks has been so rapid and refusal to liquidate so general as to weaken the technical position on the market." At a regular meeting of the board of directors of the W. A.

In the Stock Market

(By Thomson & McKinnon) NEW YORK. Aug. 29. Opinion seems to be unanimous that another substantial increase in the loan statement will be shown this afternoon, but the impression Is quite general also that the reserve statement will disclose that the money market has been helped rather than hindred so as to provide sufficient funds to prevent unusual disturbance in rates over the month-end. The fact that the English rate has been left unchanged, with intimations that an advance is unlikely for another month at least, removes another element of uncertainty which has undoubtedly acted with some restraint on the security markets. Trade developments are uniformly good, with perhaps the most interesting at the moment the voluntary action upon the part of oil producers in certain fields to agree to 100 per cent curtailment for a reasonable period to restrict production. All rail reports lend color to the accepted theory that a trade reaction is not yet in sight, although there appears to be a slight falling off in steel operations. From what we can learn, the technical position of the general market has been greatly strengthened and a resumption of large scale buying by investment trusts and investors generally would probably disclose rather limited offerings. We still favor the rails and the oils as having the better prospects with risks minimized.

CORN MAKING FINE SHOWING. SAYSBUREAU Exceptional Progress Made by Southern Part of State.

Corn crops made good progress this week, according to a survey announced today by the United States weather bureau. The report stated that com and other growing crops in the southern part of the state showed exceptional progress. “Generally fair to very good progress was reported in the state with the exception of upland acres in south central and west central portions, where the crops deteriorated due to lack of moisture,” the report continued. "Corn is in the roasting ear stage in the north, while in the central and south some corn is hard enough to feed or is denting. “But in all sections, uneveness continues and some late planted and stunted corn will only make fodder. “Seed clovers, for the most part are in fair to excellent condition; Buckwheat in southern growing area needs rain, and tobacco is being cut in poor to fair condition owing to previous dry weather. “Marketing of melons and peaches in the southwest continued and northern reports on mint showed a light crop, in average to poor condition. “Rain is needed in most sections to condition the soil for plowing."
