WEAK FOREI6N • REPORTS SEND WHEAT LOWER Ail Grains Dip on Bearish Cable News and Light Demand. BY HAROLD RAINVILLE United Press Staff Correspondent CHICAGO. Nov. 12.—Extreme weakness abroad sent wheat prices crashing down 1 to 2 cents as the Board of Trade opened today. Liverpool was very weak on large Russian shipments, a bearish French report, lower Buenos Aires prices and a smaller demand, despite Argentine frost damage. The recession of Tuesday was furthered with more long liquidation and profit-taking. While support was fair on the way down, it was not sufficient to stem the downturn. A heavy rain in winter wheat sections was another depressing factor., Corn slipped with wheat and coasted downward. Oats lost ground fractionally. At the .opening wheat was -14 to 2L S cents lower, corn was % to lti cents down and oats % to % cent off. Provisions were active and unevenly steady.

MAP POLICY ON FOREI6NGOODS Britain to Announce Stand on Dumping. By United Press LONDON, Nov. 12.—The government will announce its policy on the dumping of foreign products in Great Britain before conclusion of debate on the king’s speech, Premier J. Ramsay MacDonald told a questioner in the house of commons today. Sir Walter Runciman, president of the Board of Trade, told a questioner that merchandise imports into the United Kingdom in the nine months ending Sept. 30 exceeded exports by 281,000,000 pounds sterling. Washington; Nov. 12.—Proposed restriction on English imports of “luxury” agricultural products were regarded here as a blow at several new lines of business which have been developing recently in this country. It was said at the department of agriculture that many products such as apples, pears, grapefruit and early California plums, not regarded as luxuries here, can come under that classification in England if there was a demand to give preferential treatment to the products of . British colonies. Grapefruit, while served generally in homes of the United States, is available only in hotels in England. Restrictions in the case of this product would damage the export trade being developed principally by Florida interests.

By United Press WHITE SULPHUR SPRINGS, W. Va., Nov. 12.—President Hoover’s move to stabilize banking conditions through the national credit corporation was hailed as contributing to improve conditions, in a resolution adopted today by the Investment Bankers Association of America as it adjourned its five-day • session here. The corporation, the resolution said, “bids fair to measurably and promptly correct a difficult credit situation.” A moderate increase of taxes at the coming session of congress was urged. The increase should be mostly an emergency measure until revenues return to their normal level and should be so spread out that the burden will not be heavy upon any particular industry or class, the association held in adopting a report of its federal taxation committee.

In the Cotton Markets

(By Thomson & McKinnon) NEW YORK, Nov. 11.—The cotton market drifted downward this morning six or seven points in a thin business, due to lack of arbitrage between markets. New Orleans and Chicago being closed, most of the selling was professional, although some of it seemed to be coming from Liverpool due to lower sterling. In the outside market, silver was reported somewhat lower. The south is holding temporarily and it has reached such proportions that the government has issued instructions on the proper method of storing on the farm. We see no change in the general situation other than the present enlarged size of the crop. Cotton is still selling below cost and the longer it continues to do so the surer it is that something drastic in the way of acreage reduction will occur next spring. A modest position on the long side, should prices decline, is suggested. NEW YORK —Nov. 11— High. Low. Close.

WALZER United Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, Nov. 12.—Failure of wheat to rally from declines ranging more than 2 cents a bushel had an adverse effect on the stock market during the morning trading today. Prices moved up to gains of fractions to more than a point in the first hour. For a time, the decline in wheat, and other grains was ignored and leading issues met support. But later the whole market sagged off and was moving irregularly around noon. Railroad shares lost early gains. Radio Corporation equaled its low for the year at 10%, off 1%, and its 25 per cent owned Radio-Keith-Or-pheum made a record low at 4%, off %. Case and the mail order shares slipped back with the grain market. Coppers held well in the face of reports the copper conference on curtailment would end in deadlock. Oils held about steady and utilities were hovering around the previous close. Meantime the bond market turned irregularly lower in quieter trading. German bonds, bolstered up in early dealings by reports that the French and Germans had agreed bn an international debt conference, fell back again when these reports were neither confirmed nor denied. Around noon Steel common was holding near its previous close of 71. American Can was at 84, off %; Auburn 134, off %; Case 53%, off 1; Allied Chemical 94%, up %, and Chrysler 17%, up %. In the copper group, American Smelting was at 32%, off %; Kennecott 15%, up %; Anaconda 16%, up %, and International Nickel 10%, off %. Standard Oil of New Jersey lost part of an early gain, but was holding around 35%, up %, while Sinclair eased off fractionally to 8. In the rails New York Central dipped to 52%, off % net, after touching a high of 54%. Postal Telegraph preferred again featured the communications, rising 1% to 13%. American Telephone was up % at 143.

Pi/ Science Service WASHINGTON, Nov. 12.—Planes from the tropics probably will carry on their sides, along with the fire extinguishers, spray guns for killing insects. This innovation is to be expected as a result of studies of mosquito transporation by airplanes, announced by the United States public health service here today. Because a certain type of mosquito carries the virus of yellow fever, which still occurs in parts of South America, the public health service investigated the possibility of these insects getting a free plane ride into the United States and bringing the disease with them. Certain types of airplanes do carry mosquitoes, Dr. T. H. D. Griffitts and J. J. Griffitts of the U. S. public health service found. These investigators put stained mosquitoes on to planes leaving San Juan, Porto Rico, and recovered a certain number when the p’anes arrived at Miami, 1,250 miles away, that same day.

GOLD FLOW OF WORLD AGAIN TURNSTO U. S, Confidence in America Is Restored by Upturn in Business. By United Press NEW YORK, Nov. 12—World confidence in American finances has been restored by recent business developments which have turned the outward flow of gold back into this country. Day by day, since Nov. 1, the net gain to the country’s gold stocks has piled up as foreigners who hysterically drew upon American supplies during September and October have returned gold and released that which they had “earmarked” for their account. Following suspension of the gold standard by Great Britain in September and consequent upheavals in the world's security and commodity markets, withdrawals began to deplete American gold supplies. Stocks on Increase But the sensational and sustained rise in wheat and other commodity prices, advances in stocks and bonds on American security markets, and a vast improvement in financial sentipient became apparent late in October and early November. Since Nov. 1 American gold stocks have increased by $44,514,200. Receipt of gold withdrawn from the United States before the gold movement came to an end more than a week ago swelled the Bank of France's gold hoard during the last few days. The bank’s condition statement as of Nov. 6, made public today, showed record holdings of $67,580,000 francs ($2,655,894,000) against 64,648.000,000 francs ($2,540,666,400) on Oct. 30, the largest single week’s increase in the history of the bank. Shipments Improbable The further sweeping increase in gold holdings does not indicate any further movement of the yellow metal from the United States but merely represents receipt of gold shipped to France at the height of the recent movement. No gold has been withdrawn for the account of France for more than a week, nor are any further shipments likely in the immediate future. Because of the further increase in gold holdings and another slight increase in circulation the ratio of gold to circulation in France rose from 56.3 to 59.82 per cent.

In the Stock Market

(Bv Thomson & McKinnon) NEW YORK, Nov. 11.—In the absence of stimulating news, reactionary tendencies continued to rule the market. A further drop in silver, and intimations of discussion among the copper producers on a program of curtailment were depressing factors, especially with the mining stocks. On the other hand, the railroad shares for a time displayed individual strength, due to the feeling that the carriers were making progress with the commission on the pooling plan and with the unions on the questions of voluntary wage adjustments. Another influence in favor of the railroads was the impression that no change in the Union Pacific division w’as contemplated. The rails, however, were unable to maintain their strength, which fact contributed to more general weakness. In volume, the pressure was unimportant and suggested really nothing more than a temporary absence of demand. Some of this hesitation may have been associated with the German financial situation, about which Premier MacDonald was quite outspoken. Berlin advices, however, were encouraging, stating that France and Germany were ready to make concessions in order to solve the complicated reparations problem. It is easy to become impatient with the market. But we must be ever mindful that it reflects human emotions. We become enthusiastic over events one day and somewhat perplexed the next, which feelings give the market an irregular trend. Generally speaking, however, confidence seems to dominate, apparently based on the theory that betterment is setting in. Sharing this belief, we feel that set-backs will not be enduring.
