WHEAT FUTURE MARKET OPENS SHARPLYHIGHER Board of Trade Is Under Influence of Strong Bull Reports. Bv T'nited Press CHICAGO, Nov. 18.—Wheat prices opened sharply higher on the Board of Trade here today, under the influence of numerous bull reports. Liverpool was up and Buenos Aires opened 2% to 2% cents higher. Black rust reports in Argentine were confined and more areas there are being suspected of harboring the blight. Com and oats followed the advance of wheat. At the opening wheat was % to 2V* cents higher, corn was up 7s to 1% cents and oats was Vt to 1 cent higher. Provisions opened steady. Exports in the last week have exceeded expectations. Liverpool opened sharply higher again today, as it has done for the past several days. At mid-session the prices were up 3% to 4 cents. The comeback of late last week brought forth large buying offers in the belief that the burdensome surplus on hand would show a sizeable decrease. Department of commerce announces a 12 per cent reduction in 1929 wheat production in thirty-three countries. Corn has had a better feeling due to the strength in wheat, but the trade is very cautious because of the large movement that has been delayed two weeks or more by unfavorable weather. There was considerable rain over the week-end in the belt. Department of commerce figures show an increase in world production of 1.9 per cent over last year, and farm stock on hand In United States on Nov. 1, as 76,719,000 bushels.

In the Stock Market

(By Thomson & McKinnon) NEW YORK, Nov. 18.—In reviewing week-end news* items, we are impressed with the encouraging note sounded as to the general condition of the country’s basic economic structure. The growing realization that the stock market crash was not due to over-production of goods, to inventory accumulations, to unhealthy business conditions, to money stringency, or to business depression finally appears to have resulted in a psychological change in public sentiment. Correspondingly, fresh investment demand has been created, and confidence in security values revived. President Hoover’s economic conferences, being convened for the purpose of stabilizing and assuring a continuation of prosperity, should result in beneficial developments of great importance. Reports from the steel industry are cheerful, with demand for railroad and structural forms indicating, for the present at least, a continuation of production at around current levels. Revival of demand from the automobile industry is anticipated in the near future. Competent observers expect a material stimulation of building construction, as a result of the easing money rates, which likewise will contribute to an improvement in other types of business activity. That our position in foreign trade is being maintained in a gratifying manner is revealed clearly by the October reports just released. We can see no signs of critical conditions either existing or developing in the countries basic business structure, and we believe that the acute situation in the market has been remedied. Therefore, we recommend that advantage be taken of present opportunities to accumulate attractively priced dividend stocks for investment purposes.
