This greatly unsettled the market and erased early gains in many pivotal ah a res A number of leaders were able to hold well above their previous closing levels, however, and'offerings of stocks were well aborbed. Steel, which had featured trading In the first four hours, broke to around its previous closing level and Montgomery Ward, United Corporation and General Motors displayed heaviness. Adams Express held a 60-point advance, however, and Kastman Kodak continued buoyant. Profits Are Taken The late selling was attributed to extensive profit-taking on the part of traders who bought for supoprt purposes on last week’s dips and generally was characterized as of poor character. There was also considerable selling from professional sources. Amusement issues and public Utilities withstood selling in the late trading, many of them holding substantial gains. Motors, however, were weak, while Case Threshing Machine broke 30 points. Pacific Lighting was the outstanding feature of strength in the utilities, running up 7 points to anew tecord high, while North American, Columbia Gas, American and Foreign Power and Consolidated Gas all scored gains of 2 to 6 points. Call Monev Easier 4 An easier tone in call money—in large supply at the renewal rate of 6 per cent —stimulated buying in the late afternoon and restored confidence. Simmons Company, Best & Cos., and a number of oils were firm in the late trading. Weakness in motors had comparatively little effect on dealings elsewhere, Radio recovered sharply from its recent selling wave. Renewed demand for public utility shares was stimulated by the offering of additional stock by North Arm-lean Company at SIOO a share in the ratio of one new share for every ten shares held.

WHEAT PRICES DROP AS RAINS BENEFIT CROP Favorable Reports Come From Argentina and Australia. BY WILLIAM P. McKENNA United Press Staff Correspondent CHICAGO. Sept. *24.— Beneficial rains over the wheat provinces of both Argentina and Australia, which brought sharp declines at Liverpool today, caused wheat futures to open fractionally lower on the Board of Trade here. Australian and Argentine spot wheat was quoted 3% to four cents lower at Liverpool. Corn weakened with w'heat and because of the free country offerings. Oafs were uneven. At the opening, wheat was *4 to % cent lower, corn was Vs to % cent lower, and oats to % cent higher. Provisions were unchanged. While there have been estimates of a 35 per cent decrease in this year’s Argentine wheat crop, and early predictions indicate a 50 per cent yield for Australia, foreigners have maintained a waiting attitude and bought sparingly of North American shippers. Now, with conditions in the southern hemisphere considerably improved, sentiment of traders is swinging sharply to the bear side of the market. Holders of September corn have unloaded freely as the last delivery day approaches and this has unsettled the pit situation. No great change in factors affecting the new crop has taken place. Oats have shown more resistance to the weakening influence of bearish corn trading and buying on the depressions continue good. Commission houses are fair supporters.

In the Stock Market

(By Thomson & McKinnon! NEW YORK. Sept. 24.—Foreign financial affairs have apparently obscured all other subjects that might have a bearing on our own security markets. The Hatry affair in London has been reflected in other European financial centers, necessitating rather heroic measures upon the part of bankers in Berlin. Undoubtedly our market has also had to absorb substantial European selling and there is increasing apprehension as the fortnightly settlement day approaches! which incidentally falls on Thursday, when the question of the English bank rate will again be brought forward. It therefore appears idle at this time to give proper consideration to a statement emanating from our own treasury department on the bright business for the balance of the year. Government officials anticipate no let down in business and look forward to a tremendous Christmas business as a fitting finish to an exceptionally prosperous year. This subject we feel will receive more attention when we are assured that foreign financial centers have recovered their equilibrim. The trend of foreign markets should be carefully watched as our market is likely to respond quickly to any recovery abroad.

NEGROES URGED TO USE BRAINS IN BUSINESS Efficiency Is Called Great Need of Race; Program Given at Church. A large group of citizens attended the industrial community program at St. Paul Temple, A. M. E. church. Twenty-fifth street and Manlove avenue, Sunday afternoon. The program was conducted by leaders of the St. Paul church, of which the Rev. Walter Chenault is pastor. Dr. D. F. White, pastor of Witherspoon Presbyterian church, who addressed the meeting, urged those present, to lay aside personal and racial prejudices and suppoit all business enterprises that are fair to members of the Negro group. Dr. White asserted. "Members of the Negro race must learn not to be offended when referred to as Negroes.” "Newspapers." Dr. White said, "that capitalize the word Negro in their headlines deserve far more respect than those papers which print the word Negro in small letters. We are Negroes.” Dr. White pointed out. "and are not merely members of a colored race.” Efficiency Is Urged Robert Pinn, representative of the Victory Life Insurance Company, which employs a large number of Negroes, also spoke. Pinji urged members of Ms race to become efficient in all lines of work to meet 4he demands of modern business. The speaker gave statistics to show that more businesses of the Negro grojip fail because of a lack of efficiency than through dishonesty. Other speakers on the program included J. F. Johnson, and V.
