In the Stock Market
(Bv Thomson & McKinnon) NEW YORK, Feb. 19.—Business gives evidence of encouraging conditions prevailing throughout the country, which points to an early and rapid return to normalcy, according to reports reaching the chairman of President Hoover’s business conference. Similarly there is a noticeable growth of reassurance and this suggests an acceleration in the recovery movement as the return of seasonable weather makes outdoor construction work more feasible. Coming after distinctly favorable reports as to the further improvement in the steel industry, such expressions of confidence'seem to us most convincing. The continued weakness of foreign exchanges, in the opinion of wellinformed observers, suggests the likelihood of substantial gold .imports. Such shipments would emphasize the ease in monetary conditions here, further strengthening the credit base and correspondingly afford additional stimulus to the undertaking of constructive operations, both in business and in the market. Our friendliness toward investment stocks is strengthened by the satisfactory reports of business conditions whit’ll come to our attention. We feel that other than for momentary corrective movements, which we must expect occasionally. so that the market may be kept in a healthy technical position, leading stocks will continue to discount the improving status of the country’s economic' structure.

WHEAT TRADE OFF ON WEAK FOREIGN NEWS Liverpool Sells After High Opening: Corn Prices Strong. Bu United Press CHICAGO. Feb. 19. —Wheat opened weakly on the Board of Trade today, losing fractionally on the foreign cables. Liverpool was easy with Argentine offers meeting the market and no demand apparent, while Buenos Aires sold off to cent lower after a firm opening. The market is highly nervous and easily affected. Corn and oats were off in the minor fractions with wheat. At the opening wheat was % to 1 cent lower, corn was % to % cent lower and oats was unchanged to % cent lower. Provisions were easy. After following the rise here and opening higher, Liverpool sold off to about the previous close during the morning and fell 14 to % cent lower in the afternoon. Exports were over 2,000,000 bushels Tuesday, the first foreign taking in volume, this combined with the sharp recovery from the new lows established Tuesday, caused sentiment to become somewhat more cheerful. A narrow market i£ expected with exports dominating. The action in wheat ruled corn Tuesday, but that pit closed strong and good prices are .expected temporarily, inasmuch as the light run indicates the farmers are not satisfied with the present prices. Weather over the belt is spring-like. Oats made a good recovery Tuesday after its break to new low figures at the start. Traders believe that a definite turn in the market has been reached, but the major influences are still wheat and corn. Chicago Grain Table —Feb. 19WHEAT— Prev. High. Low. Close, close.

INSULL SEERS FALLS Kentucky Cataract Would Be Made Useful. Bu United Press FRANKFORT, Ky„ Feb. 19.—Efforts of the Insull utility interests of Chicago to acquire Kentucky’s famous cataract, Cumberland falls, as the site for a power plant met with anew obstacle today, as jthe Kentucky house of representatives voted to sell the falls to former Senator T. Coleman Dupont of Delaware, who proposes to include the cataract in a state park. The house passed a bill accepting Dupont’s offer of $230,000. and sent it to the senate, which also was expected to pass it. Governor Fiem D. Sampson, however, is opposed to the proposal and has indicated he will veto the measure if it receives the senate’s approval. The Insull interests have been seeking the falls for years, proposing to erect a huge generating plant which would supply electrical energy to a large area in the south. Building Permits C. M.
