ItV 1 sited Press NEW YORK, Dec. 9.—Heavier demand for money for the stock market caused a firmer tone in both time and call money rates. But this did not deter buying operations, which went ahead at such pace that tickers were forced behind nearly a half hour before noon. A few stocks made substantial gains, but on the whole the market moved narrowly, with the majority of issues headed higher. There were a few losses due to profit-taking. A move in the motor shares got under way, with General Motors soaring more than 3 points. United States Steel rase more than 2 points and gains ranging to more than 2 points were made by American and Foreign Power, Vanadium, Missouri-Kansas-Texas, American Telephone, Montgomery Ward and American Can. Joining Genera] Motors in the first real rise in the motors in many weeks were Chrysler, Hudson, Nash, Packard, Willys-Overland, Studebaker and Mack Trucks. Auburn Automobile soared s’i points to 21C around noon. The issue also was strong on the Chicago Stock Exchange. Auburn earlier this year was as high as 514. In the recent break it dropped to 120. At today’s price of 210 the issue had recovered 90 points of its loss a few weeks ago. On the losing side of the market were Standard Brands, General Electric, International Telephone and Standard Oil of New' Jersey. Firmness in call money w ; as also caused by preparations of the banks for the Dec. 15 requirements which will involve many millions. Sales at, noon totaled 2,500,700 shares, compared with 3,002,500 in the same period Saturday, and 1,775,400 on Friday.

In the Stock Market

(Bv Thomson & McKinnon) NEW YORK. Dec. 9.—The movement toward split ups and stock dividends gives promise of spreading, and during the coming week it would not be at all surprising if announcements from one or two other of our larger companies followed the lead of National Biscuit and General Electric. Naturally, companies whose shares are selling around or above the S2OO level will be the first to inaugurate recapitalization plans. This evidently has been the basis for the rapid recovery in the values of the highpriced stocks in the moderately priced stock, particularly in the motor and copper groups, have made only a feeble response, but we feel that readjustment in the price of many of them will sooner or later get under way. Copper companies have succeeded in maintaining the 18-cent. level for metal and with one of the principal units in the automotive trade advancing prices, investors are quite likely to be attracted to the exceptionally high yields still obtainable in these groups. It is quite possible, also, that the railroad consolidation plan will be announced during the coming week and a better demand for railroad shares would be the logical result. All in all, the market acts well and we still feel that moderate recessions should be used for purchases.

Sisson, widely known New York economist and banker. ‘‘The small investor is, to a large extent, the victim of his own imagination,” says Mr. Sisson in an analysis of the market decline published in the current issue of The Review of Reviews. “To suppose that the selling wave of the past few weeks was due to adverse developments of corresponding importance in the general business situation would be a fundamental error,” lie adds, estimating that “even in the absence of a pronounced increase in recent weeks, the general level of industrial operations appears to be approximately equal to, or possibly slightly above, that of a year ago.” Business Progress Real Tracing the phenomenal rise in stock values which reached its peak soon before the crash, Mr. Sisson observes that a part of it was justified by the real progress of the nation’s business. “But this normal movement was exaggerated immensely by the changed character of the investing public,” he adds. Millions of persons who never had before considered such speculation were attracted to the market by the fact that they had surplus incomes for the first time, he says, and security dealers established branches' throughout the country to profit by this new market. Thus the public that has to a considerable extent determined the course of the market in the last few years is a public uninformed as to intelligent procedure in buying securities,” his Review of Reviews article continues. “The small investor’s attitude toward the market seems to have been based on the view that there was no limit to the process of increasing corporate earnings, reinvesting the profits, and thus still further increasing earnings. But the country’s business concerns obviously can not go on indefinitely fulfilling the demands of the public imagination. Investor to Be Educated “When the realization finally came that prices of many securities were out of all proportion to any prospective earning power, the reaction was similarly exaggerated. Not only did the fear of loss impel a rush of liquidation, but the disorder was increased by the fact that innumerable small speculators, unable to supplement their impaired margins, were precipitated into the market as sellers against their wills.” This new investing class, or a large proportion of it, will continue to figure in the market of the future, however, Sisson believes. He adds that “there is a likelihood of improvement with the gradual education of the investing public in business conditions and in market behavior,”

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

WHEAT PRICES TAKE DROP DN CHICAGO BOARD Liverpool's Weakness and Large Offerings Are Main Factors. Bu United Press CHICAGO, Dec. 9. —Wheat prices opened lower on the Board of Trade this morning as a result of the weakness at Liverpool. Prices there were cents to I*l cents lower, due to pressure of large offerings of new and old Argentine wheat. India was reported buying wheat from Australia, helped steady prices here. Corn and oats were down with wheat. At the opening, wheat was Vs cent to % cent lower, corn was % cent lower to Vs cent higher, and oats was Vi cent to % cent lower. Provisions were steady. Liverpool opened lower than expected this morning, while Buenos Aires was unchanged at the opening. The action of prices at Bueos Aires have been disappointing to the bulls, refusing to rise, despite condition of the crops in Argentina. Export business has been below’ expectations and statistical data is of a bearish tinge. The country has been offering corn freely, but so far has been asking figures higher than the buyers are willing to pay. The increasing arrivals are having a depressing effect, but the stocks of old corn at all markets are very low and in need of replenishing. Oats has been holding in narrow limits. Receipts, mostly from the northwest, have been sufficient to fill all the deliveries. Chicago Grain Table —Dec. 9—• WHEAT— Prev. Open. High. Low. 12:00. Close.

STOCKS FIRMS WILL GET NEW SPEED TICKERS High-Geared Machines to Be installed in City Soon. Inauguration of a system of new high-speed stock tickers in New York today by the Western Union Telegraph Company was the first step toward bringing Indianapolis and other cities of the nation apace with Wall Street’s era of 8.000,000share trading days. Six brokerage firms in Indianapolis will be equipped with the high-speed tickers. They are: Thomson & McKinnon, Jas. T. Hammill & Cos., Roberts & Hall, Prince & Whitely, Jas. E. Bennett <fc Cos., and Blythe & Cos. The volume of business on the New York Stock Exchange in the past five years necessitated the telegraph company’s expenditure of $4,500,000 in circuit and ticker changes. To Be ‘Broken In’ Installation of the new style takers in Indianapolis will begin in 1930. To prevent discrimination, the new’ tickers, while capable of 500 characters a minute, will be operated at exactly the same speed as the old ones until all of the old tickers in the country have been replaced. Some 3,000 new tickers will be installed on Western Union circuits in New York in about four months. At least six months longer will be necessary to rush work in the balance of the country tc completion, indicating the operation of tickers at high speed in the United States and Canada in about ten months. Installed on Pedestals The tickers will be installed on new modernistic mahogany or walnut pedestals with a sixty-pound metal base to insure stability. Pedestals will be 3Vij feet or 2Vi feet high, according to brokers’ wishes. The old tickers were operated by current sent over two line wire, while part- of the mechanism of the new ticker is operated by an electric motor on the ticker thus requiring only one transmitting wire. Line interruptions to old tickers resulted in an average loss of 250 characters because the ticker was thrown out of synchronism. At a cost of a half million dollars, Western Union is training 800 maintenance men for the new ticker system at schools established for that purpose alone in New York, Chicago, Cleveland, Atlanta and San Francisco.

Bv United Press DETROIT, Dec. 9.—The automobile industry entered the final month of 1929 last week with production for the year expected to total less than 5.600,000 units. The figure is the estimate of automotive industries, trade authority, based on the present curtailed schedules still in effect as the month opened. “The present modest level of activity in the industry,” the magazine continues, “is looked upon with favor in numerous quarters where large stocks of new and used cars are considered a major problem.” Authorities differed slightly as to the prospects for next year. George Graham, president of Willys-Over-land, said: “Fewer autos will be produced In 1930, fewer will be sold, and the prices will be higher. Henry Ford probably will stand alone in the matter of price cuits. Overproduction in the current year, when more motor cars were made in the first nine months than in the whole of 1928 will result in lesser volume next year. With fewer cars being manufactured and sold, there must be a bigger per unit profit to maintain dividends at present levels.” Finance companies indicate that there has been a seasonal decline in new , retail paper purchased, but none of them indicate any loss further than that anticipated as normal declines for this season. Most are optimistic as to the sales future. The new Cadillac sixteen-cylinder car will be shown for the first time at the National Automobile shows beginning with the thirtieth annual automobile show in .New York city, opening Jan. 4.
