In the Stock Market
(By Thomson Ac McKinnon) NEW YORK, Sept. s.—An item conveying about as much encour- 1 agement as anything voiced recently is the statement of the president of the National Association of Purchasing Agents. This official informs President Hoover that hundreds of millions of dollars will be spent for public utility supplies with the next few weeks. He adds that purchasing agents of railroads, electric companies and large municipal corporations all suggest extensive purchases will be made, due to the favorable commodity prices. * Bankers confirm this change of policy and have already commented upon a large electrical equipment company beginning to place orders for its future copper and pig iron requirements. Apparently the warning recently issued by an important oil company has had effect. Curtailment in refining operations has found response in the first gasoline price advance in the midwest after nearly a year’s steady decline. The casualties of the business depression in the shape of omission and reduction of dividends should now be pretty well known and reckoned with. The stock market has taken such developments with surprising equanimity. The loan statement reveals little of interest, except to bring to our attention that brokers’ loans are precisely five billion less than a year ago. We view the current market reaction as largely corrective, and therefore it seems should be only temporary.

STRONG CABLE REPORTS SEND WHEATUPWARD Liverpool Starts Higher on Good Buying Demand; Oats Firm. Bu United Press CHICAGO, Sept. s.—Unexpectedly strong foreign cables gave wheat an uneven and sharp advance on the Board of Trade today. Liverpool started strong on an improved buying demand that gave evidence of an oversold condition and prices there rose sharply. Shorts came into the local market at the outset on the Liverpool news. Corn followed wheat upward, but more conservatively. Oats was firm. At the opening wheat was unchanged to 1% cents higher; com was % to Ivs cents higher, and oats were %to % cent higher. Provisions were firm. Sentiment Bearish Liverpool started slightly better than expected and climbed rapidly during the day to stand cent higher at mid-afternoon. Sentiment locally is so bearish that traders are proceeding with extreme caution, fearing that the market is much oversold and that a bullish development would cause a quick upturn. Liverpool Thursday was 2 cents under the dollar mark, while September here was 8116 cents, or within 5 cents of the low of 1914, and very near to the all-time low of 1907 when it sold for 78% cents per bushel. The financing and marketing of the Canadian crop remains the chief unsettling influence. Shipping Sales Up The open interest in September corn runs around 7,500,000 bushels. The cash premiums advanced to about 2 to 2 M cents over September for number 2 yellow Thursday. Shorts are becoming anxious as to how they will fill their contracts with the very email stocks on hand. Sentiment in the deferred deliveries
