MOTORS GROUP STRONGEST IN STOGK MARKET Specialties Get Attention in Irregular Trading.
Average Stock Prices
Average of twenty Industrials for Tuesday was 381 17 up .84 Average of twenty rails was 189.11 up .35. Average of forty . bonds 92.20 up .04 by I nil’ll Pm** NEW YORK, Sept. 4—Stock prices moved irregularly today with only a few bright spots, notably •Radio Corporation and General .Motors, aiding the market. Trading was lighter than Tuesday although tickers had a harder time keeping up due to .-elling of smaller lots. From a market of universal strength during most of Tuesday’s session, the list today turned into a , specialty affair. Even the copper group failc-a to live up to expectations and heavy selling broke out in Anaconda. Oils met selling due to recent reductions in gasoline prices. Steel sold off and so did most of the other blue chpis. With General Motors and Chrysler strong the motor group made the best showing of any section. Motor companies are stepping up production with new models meeting good demand. Dupont Advances pther issues to advance included Dupont which gained with General Motors of which it hold large amounts of stock. Best and Company, Cannon Mills, Glidden, American Sugar, Grant Greuger and Toll, Motor Products. Otis Elevator and several others made gains of 2 to 5 points. Several of the rails were in dethand, notably Reading and Southern Railroad, the former making a new record. New York Central Canadian Pacific and C. & O. barely held steady. Elsewhere in the list losses were freely distributed. These ranged to 7 points and were Jn greater amount numerically than the gains. Declines were experienced by Westinghouse Electric, Auburn Auto and Simmons Cos. Radio was the feature of the day. The stock at one time touched 105 ’ ~ •up 7% points. This was anew high on the movement and within about 6 points of the peak for this stock. Buying in Radio reflected renewed pool activity.

WHEAT WEAKER ON LOW CABLES ! AND CROP NEWS 1 / Substantial Rains Through Northwest Regarded as Bearish Factor. Bn Unit nil Press CHICAGO, Sept. 4.—Weak cables from abroad and substantial rains over the northwest last night sent ! wheat prices on the Chicago Board of Trade decidedly lower at the ! opening today. Corn was fractionally ' lower due to the good rains in parts of the belt, and oats were weak with the other grains. As the market opened wheat was i to 1 cent lower, corn was unchanged to % cents off, and oats were !4 to % cents down. Liverpool was much lower than expected today, and with good rains imported last night over the northwest which will aid grain not yet harvested, somewhat lower prices are expected at the wheat trade here today. With private reports out of the way the market probably will be narrower until after the government reports are out. No rain was reported in Argentina, and the weather was said to be cold and dry.

CALSHOT, Eng., Sept. 4.—Home-ward-bound Americans on the liner Majestic saw Lieutenant Monti of the Italian Schneider cup team escape death three times in a short test flight today.

In the Stock Market
(By Thomson fr McKinnon) NEW YORK, Sept. 4.—The formation of another gigantic holding company in the utility field and the unexpected advance in copper prices following enormous sales of metal during the past few weeks are probably the outstanding favorable factors in the financial news. Apparently influential banking sources feel that profit possibilities in the utility field have not yet been exhausted in spite of the substantial price enhancement in this group of securities. The change in the situation in the copper industry is probably as good as any other business barometer we might mention as an indicator of what is to be expected in the way of further expansion in general commercial activity as the fall approaches. There is but one element of uncertainty which calls for a more cautious attitude—the probability of an advance in the English bank rate, the announcement of which may come before tomorrow’s opening, and the brokers loans statement, one due today and the other Thursday. Better buying opportunities may develop once these uncertainties are removed.

Aviation NEW YORK LEADS IN NUMBER OF PLANESIN USE California Second: Only Two Licensed Ships in Nevada. Bn Beripps-Noirnrd \ < per W/i,,,;.. CLEVELAND. 0.. Sept. 4.—Despite the amazing increase in flying recently and the obvious advantages of air travel in the rugged southwest, there are only two licensed airplanes in Nevada, and only three In New Mexico. This was revealed Friday at a meeting of the Aeronautical Chamber of Commerce being held here in connection with the national air races and aeronautical exposition. In contrast to these two states. New York boasts the dazzling figure of 753 licensed airplanes, and California is second with 519. This means the East is forging ahead in the use of the airplane, for California has been the leader, heretofore. Arranges Many Figures The Aeronautical Chamber of Commerce has been busy this week, dishing out figures and making plans to give aviation a big push all over the country. Here arc some of the new figures: In the first six months of 1929, 3,500 airplanes, worth $25,000,000, were built in the United States. Production of all types except military planes increased over 1928. The open cockpit biplane was the most popular, with 1.623 being produced. The cabin monoplane was second, with 884. Eighteen seaplanes and flying boats were made, and fifty-three amphibians. Military planes in the first six months totaled 527. 232 Approved Types There are now 232 approved type airplanes from which the American public can choose its flying vehicles. Representatives of most of these types, which have passed the rigid tests of the commerce department for certificates, are on exhibition at the big aircraft show at the Cleveland auditorium this week. Biplanes lead in the approved list. There are 144 biplanes and eightyeight monoplanes bearing the United States stamp of approval. Cabin ships are gaining in popularity. The approved list includes 120 open cockpit planes and 112 cabin planes.
