(By Thomson Ac McKinnon) NEW YORK, Nov. 25.—The present week gives promise of following closely that of the one just past at least one important detail, that constructive developments will predominate. The program under way to keep business at an even keel has had the effect of dispelling pessimism and with big business cooperating whole-heartedly we are safe in assuming that from present indications any business recession that we may experience will be of very moderate proportions. With a long list of excellent securities selling at abnormal yields at a time when money is a drug on the market, the thought is unavoidable that there has been an over discounting of any depression that is likely to prevail. Investors still have a wide selection of good securities at attractive levels, particularly so if prospective purchases are timed, to take advantage of the natural reactions that are to be expected. Due to the success of conservation plans, we particularly like the better grade of oil securities at this time for a long term holding.

HEAVY SELLING FORCES STOCK MARKETLOWER General Electric Heaviest Loser on New York Exchange
Average Stock Prices
Average of twenty Industrials for Saturday was 245.74. off 2.71. Average of twenty rails was 148.36. up .52. Average of forty bonds was 93.34, up .26. Bu United Press NEW YORK, Nov. 25.—Resumption of the selling, in progress at the close last Friday, brought prices on the Stock Exchange down 1 to 11 points today. General Electric was the heaviest loser, at one time being off 11 points at 210. United States Steel broke to 16414 from its opening of 165%, off 74. Heavy selling orders accumulated over the long week-end. At the opening declines of 1 to 3 points were made in the majority of issues. A few groups made gains and individual stocks here and there were up fractions to a point or more. In the first fifteen minutes or so the list was steady around the previous close. Then Steel began to decline and the whole market turned down. There was nothing in the news to acount for the decline. The reason was found in the market itself. Last week the industrial average rose 17 points net and in the opinion of many observers this recovery was too fast, warranting a technical reaction. Call money held at 47* per cent, unchanged from the rate in force over the week-end. Supplies oi money were plentiful for stock market purposes and the tone of the money market was described as easy. Trading was light, sales during the first half hour totaling 556.000. against 759,300 Friday. Bond sales were slightly above those of Friday and bonds generally advanced, especially the railroad issues. Curb stocks moved about the same as the issues on the big board.

GRAIN FUTURES ARE UNEVEN IN CHICAGO MART Argentina Rust Damage Still Is Influencing Foreign Markets. Bu United Press CHICAGO, Nov. 25.—Wheat prices opened uncertainly on the Board of Trade here this morning. Early strength at Liverpool and Buenos Aires was offset somewhat by the liquidation in December 1 wheat. There was also a slight reaction from top figures abroad. Com and oats were as uncertain as wheat. At.the opening wheat was % cent higher, corn was % cent lower to % cent higher, oats was off % cent to Vs cent up, provisions opened steady. Liverpool opened strong this morning, there being very little pressure and influenced by the late strength here Saturday. Prices shortly after mid-day were 1% to % cent higher. Buenos Aires opened % cent higher. Argentine rust damage is still influencing foreign markets. If they become panicky large American exports may be expected with resultant higher prices. Liquidation of December contracts is expected to make the local situation uncertain. Cash corn has been greatly weakened due to the large receipts, and while this has been partially offset by a big shipping demand, prices in the futures have fallen. Congestion here has been holding up shipments to Chicago, though the crop has moved to outside markets. Oats receipts have been light and the trade expects them to decrease more rapidly from now on. A good cash or futures interest would give the trade an upward tendency. Chicago Grain Table —Nov. 25WHEAT— Prev. Open. High. Low. 12:00. close.
