In the Stock Market

(By Thomson de McKinnon) NEW YORK, Oct. 3.—Considering the extensive declines during the past week, the latest loan total comes as an unpleasant surprise and in a measure verifies the general impression that stocks have been passing from strong to weak hands. Perhaps equally disconcerting is the belief that the loan report due this afternoon will also emphasize the fact that stocks have been coming out of strong boxes in quantities and finding their way into marginal accounts. Managements of leading investment trusts have been quoted recently as indicating that substantially more than 50 per cent of their assets are now in cash, further verifying the fact that recent selling has probably been much more influential than the buying. Judging the situation from all angles we can find nothing that Is particularly inspiring for the constructive side of the picture, and until we get decidedly more encouragement from both credit and trade conditions, it appears the best policy to continue using such technical rallies as may occur to further reduce long commitments.

WHEAT IS FIRM AT OPENING ON CHICAGOBOARD Corn and Oats Are Shade Higher; Irregular at Liverpool BY WILLIAM M’KENNA United Press Staff Correspondent CHICAGO, Oct. 3.—Liverpool’s irregular wheat market did not prevent a firm opening on the Chicago Board of Trade today, as action abroad had become better as the session progressed, the support of London firms tending to offset the effect of larger Danubian shipments. Corn and oats were a shade higher at Chicago. At the opening, wheat was unchanged to one-quarter cent higher, corn was unchanged to one-eighth up and oats were unchanged to oneeighth higher. Provisions were unchanged. Short interest in wheat has been •reduced considerably on recent advances, but the expectation of an enlarged export demand from Europe when Argentine shipments decline is keeping the trading sentiment fairly bright. Cash wheat markets are showing a decidedly better tone. No. 2 red now is selling at the strongest basis on the crop. Light stocks of corn at terminal markets and reduced country offering has created a more friendly feeling for the buying side of the futures, but there still is plenty of selling on the bulges. The crop is made in most sections. Chicago operators have been selling oats, with commission houses taking their offerings. Prices have held with narrow limits in recent sessions. Shipping sales Wednesday were 26,000 bushels. Chicago Grain Table —Oct. 3 , Prev. WHEAT— 'High. Low. 12:00. Close.

AUTO MAKERS SEE GLOOM IN WINTERTRADE ‘Wildcatters’ Cause Grief In Used Car Business; Sales Heavy. By United Press DETROIT, Oct. 3.—While every automotive manufacturing record has been broken quarter by quarter and the 1929 total production will set another new record, dealers report some pessimism toward the winter outlook. The movement of cars at retail, as well as used cars, has been dropping of late. The main trouble reported by dealers is the situation created by the used car business. “The wild-catters,” dealers commented, “are scalping the country, making large trade-in allowances and then selling the second hand cars less all but $lO or sls of their commission.” The Hupp Motor Car Corporation this week announced it will have a new eight-cylinder car in the medium price class to be manufactured in five body types. The car marks Hupmobile’s entry into the medium price field with an eightcylinder model, selling from $1,595 to $1,670. Two months ago the company announced a six in the SI,OOO class. Chevrolet* Go Fast More than 1,200,000 new six-cyl-inder Chevrolets have been sold since the first of the year. This tops the Chevrolet record for all of 1928, and their factories are continuing on the biggest fall production program eVfer undertaken. Chrysler reported that September shipments brohght their nine months total this year to 392,465 units, compared with 375,264 in the same period last year. The Packard Motor Car Company shipped 37,975 cars the first nine months. A year ago there were 35,033 shipments. Buick Motor Company shipped 26,500 Buicks and Marquettes in September, practically the same as in September last year.
