Nov. 18.—Stocks Jlluctuated irregularly in a narrow range at the opening of the New .Yor Stock Exchange today. Steel common was up !i at 35 %, %hile the preferred lost a point to *72. American Telephone rose % to 108 and American Can % to 54. Railroad issues were firmer. Trading was light. Small gains were noted in Case, Dupont, Commercial Solvents, Anaconda Copper, North American, Lorilllard; United States Industrial Alcohol, Union Pacific, New York Central and Pennsylvania railroad. During the early trading a firmer tendency was noted in Chrysler, American Telephone, Case and other leaders. Volume continued small. Before the opening here, London reported another break in sterling which had an adverse effect on giltedged bonds. Sterling firmed up more than a cent in New York to $3.29%, following a break of nearly 3 cents Thursday. Londoners feared that in the event the American government would insist on full payment of the Dec. 15 war debt installment, the equalisation fund would be depleted and the pound sterling thus placed in a precarious position.

POLICE ROUT MINERS Tear Gas Used in Clash at Illinois Shaft. flii United Press SPRINGFIELD, 111., Nov. 18.— State police and “striking” miners clashed again today at the Cora mine of the Peabody Coal Company, fourteen miles north of here, and again the officers drove away the pickets with tear gas. Forced off the highways by the gas attack, pickets stood on snow banks in corn fields and jerred and booed at men who, protected by the state police and deputy sheriffs, went to the mine to work. Seven pickets were arrested. GOLD STANDARD SCARE OF HOOVER ATTACKED Economist Says Nation Has Been in No Danger in 36 Years. By Soripps-Uotcard Xetc*paper Alliance WASHINGTON, Nov. 18.—President Hoover’s statement that the United States w-as within two weeks of being forced off the gold standard by foreign pressure and the domestic crisis is resoundingly refuted by Dr. Benjamin M. Anderson. ecoomist of the Chase National bank, of New York. Dr. Anderson states in the Chase Economic Bulletin, just out, ”our gold standard has not been in danger for thirty-six years,” and this year less than on several occasions preceding the depression. "Our gold position through the whole of this trouble,” he asserts, "remained stronger than it was in 1928 or 1929, and far stronger than it was in 1920 or even in 1919.” PREACHER IS FARMER Harvest Crop From 10,000 Sweet Potato Plants.

FAITH IS LOST IN ‘SUPERMEN’ Europe Draws Moral from Kreuger, Insull Crashes. Bn United Press LONDON, Nov. 18.—Europe is learning to regret the faith which it has placed so implicitly in business supermen. The story of Samuel Insull, following closely upon the Ivar Kreuger collapse, from grace of Lord Kylsant and a dozen other episodes has sharpened the disillusionment of millions in industrial giants whose feet have turned to clay. Insult's career, the crumbling of his enterprises and his journey to Greece have been followed with as much interest on this side of the Atlantic as in the United States. And, with few exceptions, the lessons and observations drawn his story were the same as those drawn in the case of Kreuger, of Kylsant and the others. Liberal and labor opinion, in particular, feel that the economic storm has served to deflate, perhaps forever, the legend of the supermen in business. So prevalent was smallpox in the eighteenth century that a French physician said one-fourth of mankind either was killed by it or crippled or disfigured for life.”

On request, sent with stamped addressed envelope, Mr. Ripley will furnish proof of anything depicted by him.
Following is the explanation of Ripley’s ‘Believe It or Not” which appeared in Thursday’s Times: The Letterless All-Conference Quarter Back—Though "Boob” Nash, star quarter back of Lon Morris college, Jacksonville, Tex., excelled on the gridiron to the extent that he was chosen for the all-conference eleven, his classroom standing prevented him from receiving his football letter last season. The college required all athletes to make a passing grade in no fewer than three courses before a letter is given, which Nash failed to do. SATURDAY—“A Painful Diet.”

GRAIN FUTURES SHUW GAINS UN HIGHER CABLES Scattered Buying Advances Prices on Lack of Sales Pressure. BY HAROLD E. RAINVILLE United Press Staff Corresnondent CHICAGO. Nov. 18.—Unexpected strength at Liverpool gave wheat a firm opening on the Board of Trade today. Stocks were irregular but had a firmer undertone. With an absence of selling pressure at the start scattered buying advanced prices fractionally. Liverpool had more confidence and the reduced Argentine estimates gave the market strength. Corn was firm with wheat. Oats was slightly easy but rye also was up. At the opening wheat was unchanged to % cent higher, corn was % to \ cents higher, oats unchanged to % cent lower and rye was % to % cent higher. Provisions were steady. Sentiment Is Bearish Further weakness in sterling was a factor in limiting the decline at Liverpool to 1 g to r * cent on the old contracts and to cent on the new at mid-afternoon. The market failed to reflect the sharp downturn here Thursday. Sentiment among local traders is bearish and they anticipate no change in the outlook until after December liquidation has been cleared up. This will hang over the market for about two weeks, it is thought. There is some selling of small long accounts built up on the recent advance. Action at Winnipeg and Liverpool is being watched closely. Com Under Pressure Liquidation of December is keeping corn under presure. Despite the 2% cent a bushel advance in cash prices, the country has failed to offer freely. Sales are in good volume. Action of other grains exerts a large influence on the trend. Oats displays more firmness than wheat or corn. The market remains small, but prices easily recover from downturns. Rye and barley partake of the general trend but trading is very dull.
