In the Stock Market

(Bv Thomson & McKinnon! NEW YORK. Jan. 3.—The Fox episode, which has been overhanging the security markets for some little time, has probably now had its full effect and will cease to be a disturbing element. Selling based on the statement which was Issued Thursday by the attorney for the minority stockholders has more than likely run its course, and at the same time created a short interest in the general list which should strengthen the market’s technical position. The increase in the loan total, while not wholly unexpected, is offset by the further reduction in the bill rate and improvement in the gold ratio in the federal reserve weekly report. While there are as yet no definite indications that the market will move out of a trading range, the investment buying which continues on all depressions leads us to believe that this will not be long delayed. Technically the market is in a position to reverse Thursday’s downward trend. FINED ON LICENSE LAW Employe Who Urged Driver to Operate Car Is Punished. First fine since the driver’s license statute went into effect, imposed on an employer for urging an employe to operate a car without a license, was levied today by Municipal Judge Clifton R.

BOND MARKET SHOWS LOWER TRENDJNI929 Traders to Replace Funds Taken by Heavy Margin Calls From Brokers. BY OTTO E. STURM. NEW YORK, Jan. 3.—The outstanding development on the bond market during 1929 was the renewal, late in the year, of investment interest in bonds and the turning point in the long downward trend of prices for fixed interest bearing securities. The old axioms about the safety of bonds were forgotten as the speculative fever spread and 5,000,-00-share days became commonplace on the stock market. With stock prices advancing steadily over the aforementioned period and the end of the big bull movement apparently never to come in sight, the popular desire to get rich quick by speculating in stocks placed the conservative policy of purchasing bonds more and more into the background, and consequently prices for representative issues on the bond market showed a steady downward course for more than a year. The decline in bond values for the first nine months of 1929 is illustrated by a study of the Dow-Jones average of forty representative bonds listed on the New York Stock Exchange. Then came the first results of the inflation in stock value and a sharp break in the share market was followed by a slump in call money rates. A biisk rally took place in the average that carried the figure up from the year’s low to 93.80 near the end of October. The average took another si imp in the first half of November as the result of heavy liquidation of bonds on the part of traders trying to replace funds being eaten up by the heavy margin calls from stock brokers around the 15th of the month the figure had sagged back to 92.00 Public Takes Advice Stimulus was provided this Improvement by the accelerated pace of trading, which indicated that the investing public was beginning to take the advice given by various economic authorities earlier in the year that bonds were attractively priced for buying at the levels to which they had been depressed by the protracted downward movement. Furthermore, accumulation of fixed interest bearing securities was stimulated by the drop in call money rates to the lowest levels in more than a year and the many corporations during the boom period in stocks had placed huge sums in the demand loan. While the prospects of the seasonal year-end credit stringency brought a temporary halt to the renewal accumulation and advance in bonds, the situation at the end of the year was highly favorable and the bond market enters the new year with the value of sound fixed interest issues again firmly established and with every prospect of climbing to higher levels in 1930. United States government securities and the list of high-grade and legal investment issues in the railroad, industrial and public utility categories which had been 'the most lethargic during the period when the stock market dominated the financial spotlight were the first to respond to the changed state of affairs late in the year. The government issues, carried to new lows during the first half of the year as a result of the stringency in credit, quickly responded to the precipitate easement in the money situation and advances to new high peaks were scored by such issues as Fourth Liberty 4Vis, Liberty 3Vis, First Liberty 4*,4s and several of the treasury certificates.

Railroad Bonds Higher The highest grade railroad bonds came to the fore in the late upswing, due principally to the strong position these issues were placed in by the favorable earnings of the leading carriers in the first half of the year. High spots in the group included St. Louis-San Francisco 4145, Atchison general 4s, Missouri Pacific issues, Missouri-Kansas-Texas 4s, New York Central. New Haven, Baltimore & Ohio and Chesapeake & Ohio issues. The long-neglected high grade industrials and utilities came to life during November and a steady advance was entered into by such issues as Bethlehem Steel 6s, Standard Oil of New Jersey ss. National Dairy Products 514 s, Consolidated Gas 5145, Philadelphia Company ss, Brooklyn Union Gas 5s and New York Edison issues.

Convertible bonds had their Inning in the first half of the year when the advantages to be derived from investment in the share privileges were enhanced by the rising stock market. The outstanding issues of the share privileges for strength and activity were the convertible communications, American Telephone 4 1 £s, and International Telephone 4*4s, both with attractive stock conversion features. Trading in the foreign obligations during 1929 was comparatively moderate in volume, but renewed interest was stimulated by final settlement of the irksome question of German reparations. South American loans were irregular and, near the end of the year, were heavily depressed by the closing of the gold exchange office at Buenos Aires, a development which caused Argentine issu*es to slump to new low levels -and depressed the entire list of South American governmental loans.

GRAIN FUTURES TAKE SLUMP IN EARLY SESSION Corn and Oats Slightly Off With Major Grain; Pressure Weak. Bit United Press CHICAGO, Jan. 3.—Wheat prices were down fractionally as the Board of Trade opened today. Disappointing cables caused some scattered selling. Liverpool was lower, due to action here and at Buenos Aires, which opened lower and stood cent down near noon. Pressure vas not heavy, but there was no buying power to absorb the sales. Com and oats were slightly lower with wheat. At the opening wheat was Vi to Vs cent lower, corn was down % to cent and oats was off Vi to V 4 cent Provisions were firm. Liverpool opened lower and late in the afternoon prices were down 1% cents. Action of the market Thursday was somewhat discouraging to bulls, but no marked setback is expected because of the fee ng that Europe will buy in such a case and aid will come from the farm board. The big discount on cash com as compared with May makes some operators bearish and tends to restrict country offerings. Prices, however, are holding a narrow range with the market responding mostly to the action in wheat. Weather is colder over the belt this morning with snow. Oats trade is of a local character, which makes for a narrow range. The major grains are the dominating influences on the market. Chicago Grain Table WHEAT— 3 ’ Pr#v Open. High. Low. 12 00. close!
