WHEAT SHOWS STRONG TREND ON BULL NEWS Slackening of Russian and Canadian Pressure Is Price Factor. Bv United Press CHICAGO, Sept. 30.—Wheat prices shot upward on all world markets this morning, prices on the Board of Trade scoring good gains at the start. Avery strong and rising Liverpool market gave traders encouragement. The English market was affected by short covering and a slackening of Russian and Candian pressure. Corn and oats rose strongly with wheat. There was much more optimism among traders at the start. At the opening wheat was % to 1i,2 cents higher; corn was 1% to 2% cents higher, and oats were : to I'4 cents higher. Provisions were sharply higher. Caution Expected Liverpool opened unexpectedly and sharply higher and advanced steadily during the day to stand 1% to 2c up by mid-afternoon. Buenos Aires also opened higher, 1* to lTic up. The unprecedented situation in the wheat markets of the world has not only led to more caution in making commitments but to a reluctance to forecast the trend of prices. r i e two bearish factors are the rec rd breaking supplies in North An erica and the pressure of Russian wheat, the latter coming in direct competition with Canadian, wheat abroad. Good Bi ying There was a good class of buying In corn Monday, especially when May established its seasonal low. Tne bullish fundamentals are appreciated by the trade, but with wheat so low they are afraid to buy. The average price for wheat in the country is 66 cents per bushel, while corn averages 88 cents. This encouraging of heavy feeding of wheat but discourages speculating in corn Interest has been light in oats. There has been no news of interest, except a 2 cent drop in Buenos Aires Monday, being the largest in months. Chicago Grain Table —Sept. 30WHEAT— „„ Prev. Hifth. Low. 11:00 close. December ...

.SEPT. 30,1930

YEAR'S RISE IN STOCK MARKET IS WIPED CUT Recent Decline Brings List Close to Low Points of 1929. Bu United Prefix NEW YORK. Sept. 30.—The stock market las now wiped out all oi the gains of 1930 and the industrial average is within 9% points of t \r low of 1929, made on Nov. 13, ol that year. At the low point fouched Monday the Dow-Jones average for thirty representative industrial stocks stood at 208.14. just 66.93 points under the 275.07 high for the year, made on May 29. A year ago. the market was in the midst of the heaviest decline in its history. From Sept. 3, 1929, when the industrial average touched 318 17 to Nov. 13, the decline was 182.48 points. The rally to May 29. 1930. was 76.38 points. All but 9.45 points of this was wiped out up to the close Monday. Paper Loss Great The paper profit loss can be conservatively estimated at $25,000,000.000 or S2OO for every man. woman and child in the United States. Many issues are now selling at new lows ior all time, and hundreds are selling at new lows for the year. The majority of market observers do not see the end of the selling and brokers generally are urging caution in placing commitments. Shorts are not planning any haste in covering their sales which now net them a hndsome profit on paper. As a matter of fact many are scanning the list for further short sales. Simultaneously with the market's break there is further selling in the commodities. Cotton Too High Wheat, cotton, sugar, rubber, tin, copper, silk have touched new lows for many years, some for all time. These declines mean reduced purchasing power for farmers and those handling the commodities. In well informed circles, the price of cotton is still considered too higli as compared with other commodities, and a further decline is expected. Predictions have been made that the price would sink as low as 7 cents a pound, a figure that would bring ruin to the south. There is one comfort for the constructive forces and that is the fact that business has already had a severe decline, far greater than the stock market. It has been burned out and a strong foundation laid for EIGHT SAVED FROM SEA Fishermen Adrift in Open Boats After Schooner Burns. Bu Unit'd Prefix PROVINCETOWN, Mass., Sept. 30.—Adrift for two hours in open boats six miles off Cape Cod after a mysterious fire had enveloped their schooner, eight fishermen were picked up at sea today by another schooner and landed at this port.
