GRIDLEY United Press Financial Editor NEW YORK, Nov. 27.—New construction and improvement programs in the United States during the coming year will aggregate more than $9,000,000,000, divided among industrial, public utility, railroad and state and municipal programs, according to a survey by the United Press. These figures were compiled from statements of Governors, industrial leaders and railroad executives, following President Hoover’s series of business and economic conferences at the White House. Asa result the nation is facing the greatest building program in its history in 1930. Next year’s construction program is estimated as follows: Industrial corporations, $3,500,000,000; public utility, $2,000 000,000; state and municipal, $1,291,800,000; railroad, sl,250.000,000, and federal government, $750,000,000. Total, $9,421,800,000. In addition to the programs already announced, a number of incompleted projects might be undertaken within the coming year, which would swell the construction total to more than $10,000,000,000. American Telephone and Telegraph is listed as the largest spender, the company stating that the Bell system would authorize a total of $700,000,000 for construction throughout the country. The state of New York is estimated to spend $250,000 0?0. the Pennsylvania railroad $200,000,000, and the federal government not far under $1,000.000,000.

THE INDIANAPOIISTIMES

STOCKS TURN HIGHER AFTER WEAK OPENING Utility Companies to Spend Two Billions to Make Improvements. Average Stock Prices Average of twenty industri*-® for Tuesday was 335.35. off 6.09. ♦ verage of twenty rails was 145.60, off 1.93. Average of forty bonds was 93.89 up .05. Bn United Press NEW YORK, Nov. 27.—Pledge of huge sums for new construction and improvements in 1930 by utility companies was considered bullish for the stock market and prices turned upward sharply after a lower opening and irregularity in early trading. Before the noon hour had been reached the list was up 1 to 5 points, whereas in the early trading prices ranged from gains of 2 points to losses of more than 3 points. Dealings continued light, how•ever, due to the impending fourday holiday beginning Thursday. Trading in the first half-hour amounted to 365,300 shares, against 310,300 in the same period Tuesday and 556,000 Monday. According to a United Press survey, utility companies will spend in excess of $2,000,000,000 in the coming year for improvements. Stocks Carried Higher The effect on the stock market was Electric. Utility shares were carried up several points from early lows to net gains of 1 to 4 points. American and Foreign Power rose more than 2 points; American Telephone jumped 5 from the opening to above, 222; International Telephone rose 2% net, and others made proportionate gains. Copper stocks whose companies would benefit from expansion by utilites firmed up after their sharp declines of the last two days on fears of price reductions. Anaconda was up more than 2 points and substantial gains were made by others of the group. General Electric was a feature of the advance. After touching a low of 207 3 4, the stock shot up to 214, where it was up 5% points from the previous close. Its business is electrical equipment, and it would also profit handsomely from additional orders from utility companies. Expenditure of around $9,000,000,000 in all forms of construction work has been pledged so far, including railroad equipment, public buildings and the like. This would mean heavy employment throughout the country in the building trades electrical equipment work and similar lines. Mail Shares in Demand Hence the purchasing power of labor would be enhanced. On such assumption traders bid up prices of mercantile stocks. Mail order shares were in demand after early irregularity. Amusements also were taken. This advance in the utilities and stocks that would profit from their vast expenditures obscured for a time advancing tendencies in the leading industrial issues. United States Steel, which was selling ex-dividend $2.75, rose 3 points to 162%, a price equivalent to 16512, without deducting the dividend. American Can rose 3!4 points to 113%; Radio, % to 34; New York Central rose a point to 176. Call money renewed at 4® per cent and was in fair supply at that figure. The average renewal rate for call funds on the Stock Exchange for November was 5.38 per cent, the lowest since April, 1928.

In the Stocks Market (By Thomson Sc McKinnon! NEW YORK, Nov. 27.—From the standpoint of the security markets as well as the outlook for business, pessimism was undoubtedly most prevalent during the week when stock prices were making their extreme lows, yet the latest railroad carloading report covering this period shows a falling off of only slightly more than 5 per cent. Curtailment in the steel industry, too, has been very slight and largely the result of seasonal contraction. Considering all conditions we feel that we have witnessed a discounting process which according to past experience has been overdone. In previous panicky periods corporation executives have pursued a policy directly opposite to that which is now being followed, namely conservation of cash resources, whereas now we find r more liberal dividend policy being inaugurated by many companies. Although the action of the market is at times discouraging, we must bear in mind that following such a sharp recovery as w T e have had since the culmination of the decline technical conditions within the market, rather than business fundamentals are likely to be the immediate determining factor. We still adhere to the opinion that splendid investment opportunities are offered by these reactionary periods. WOMAN TAKES POISON Mrs. Jordan in City Hospital; Motive of Act Unknown.

SHORTS SEND GRAIN FUTURES TRIFLEHIGHER Spreading Operations Have Influence on World Wheat Market. Bu United Press CHICAGO. Nov. 27. Wheat prices opened unevenly on the Board of Trade here today. Liquidation in December held that month down, but the strong tone at Liverpool caused the deferred deliveries to rise. Short covering gave Liverpool strength at the opening / and near midday prices were up 1® to 1% cents. Buenos Aires opened fractionally higher and at midsession was % cent higher. Argentine news dominates the market. Corn and oats advanced with wheat futures. At the opening, wheat was % cent lower to % cent higher, com was % to 1% cents higher, and oats was % off to % cent higher. Provisions opened steady. Spreading operations are having considerable influence on the world wheat market, but the difference in the May delivery at Liverpool and at Chicago amounts to less than 8 cents. Bullish crop news and a strong, domestic cash market did not bring much buying support because of Europe’s failure to import in quantity. The movement of corn is still not as large as it is to be expected. The storage situation has improved somewhat with the movement of wheat to the east and to domestic millers. Trade In oats is running light and long supplies continue to appear on the bulge. There is some buying on resting orders which counteracts this. Chicago Grain Table —Nov. 27WHEAT— Prev. Open. High.

They had gagged and bound an airport attendant at Kansas City at daybreak Tuesday after tricking him into servicing the plane for a 500mile flight. Shortly before dark their motor hummed over the field here and the plane leveled down neatly before a hangar. “Fill her up,” they shouted. “We’re off to a hotel for sleep and will be ; back in the morning.” The pair, one red-headed and freckled and each about 25, had scarcely left the field when the attendant was notified that they were wanted for stealing the airplane. He identified the craft by its license number and its yellow and maroon trimming. Police searched the town, but found no trace of the men.

‘BULL’ DURANT HOLDS HIS OWN IN STOCK MART Twice Ruined in Market, the Motor Man Now Is ‘Street’ Fetish. Bu Times Special NEW YORK, Nov. 27.—What haupened to the greater bull oi then! all in the bear market, Wall Streel has been asking itself? What dic| William Crapo Durant, twice heacf of General Motors and master stocl| manipulator, do? According to John K. Winkler, fa-, mous for his “Portrait in Oils” ofi John D. Rockefeller, who contributes a sketch of “Durant-Bull” to thq current issue of Popular Biography| probably he came through with fowl losses. Mr. Winkler describes him as the gray fox of finance and the’ eel of the water world. He says: ; “Durant weaves and trims and dodges, never risking the greater portion of his roll on a single stroked He has a passion and a genius lor, stock speculation. A cold, humor-j less little machine of a man, with keen features whose edge has not! been turned and piercing eyes undimmed by the passage of the years. Out of Proportion “The large, graying head seema absurdly out of proportion with the slight, dapper frame. He weighs 118 pounds. His office is high up in the Fisk building, at Broadway and lifty-seventh street, a pebble toss from the General Motors building. “Behind the ticker, in Durant's office, is a stand of telephones, connected by private wire with twenty or more downtown brokerage houses. When the market is bubbling Durant buys and sells shares by the tens of thousands. Only he and one or two close associates know all the trends and slants of his speculations. “Since he went into the market on a huge scale in 1921 Durant has become a Wall Street fetish, though he is personally unknown in the Street. Often stocks move in great bursts on the mere rumor that Durant is trading in them. The little man in the Fisk building grins a toad-like grin and reaps full advantage of his prestige.

Backed to Wall “Wall street places Durant’s winnings of the last seven years high in eight figures. Only Durant knows the exact amount. Unlike the Goulds and the Harrimans, the Gateses and the Drakes of the past, Durant is an adroit profit-taker. Twice ruined by over-optimism and a thirst for quick expansion, he has grown cagy. He is a plunger in no sense of the term. “For example, he has gambled in. General Motors stock a dozen timcM in and out, since his unprecedent financial collapse late in 1920, vviyf the du Ponts and J. P. Morgan® Cos. backed him to the wall if forced him out of his great combination.” The writer in “Popular Biography” believes that Durant hopes some day to seize again the reins of General Motors. He has solidified his financial position by formation of an investment trust and a national bank—the Libeity—which has grown encouragingly. To come back in the motor world, he realizes he must have huge funds at his disposal. So he has taken in a group of former Dodge Brothers executives to manage Durant Motors Inc., the while he himself carries on his stock manipulations. POINCARE IS RECOVERING Former French President Soon Will Resume His Active Life. llu United Press PARIS, Nov. 27.—Former President Raymond Poincare, who has undergone two operations within the last few months, is near complete recovery and shortly will resume his active life, physicians stated today. “At the moment when Poincare is about to resume his active life as in the past, we are happy to affirm that two operations he underwent were successful and that the infection necessitating the operations Is not now able to cause the slightest complications in the future.” TWELVE BANKS CLOSED Assets Not Easily Liquidated or “Frozen” Found in Oklahoma.
