WALL STREET TRADING
MATERIALLY LESSENED
Large Lots Do Not Figure as Often

Opening.
Moderate Recoveries, Some Complete
and Some Only Partial-Clos-

was the natural result.
The reduction IN trading was noticed
elsewhere throughout the list, while
the attendance of traders at brokers
offices was materially lighter than for
months past.
Much of the trading after the firm
opening, was accredited to the selling
out of the Hughes bulls. 1t is not ex-

based on anything approaching fact,
was an announcement to speculative
traders to take the bear side.
The opening showed gains, but was
quickly followed by weakness which ex-
tended throughout the entire list, the
almost anything else on the entire list.
Before the end of the first hour, de-
clines in rails and industrials averaged

Some Slow Recoveries.

small fractions.

Not of Much Avail.

That section of the federal reserve
act (section II, paragraph k) giving
the federal reserve board the right to
grant authority to member banks to
exercise trust company functions
when not in contravention to state
laws has not resulted in many of the
in business.
In Washington two or three applica-
tions were made for the authority and
granted by the reserve board, but the
exercise of the functions has evidently
been avoided on legal advice to the
effect that such action would be in con-
travention to the local laws, which
provide that trust company must
have as minimum capital of 81 0OO-
600.
There are two national banks in the
city that have this capitalization,
neither having asked for trust COM
pany privileges.
A recent decision of the supreme
court of Michigan holds that the grant
ing OF trust company functions to ma
tional banks is in contravention of the
state laws OF Michigan, and also that

CHICAGO, November 13.-Bullish
foreign advices gave a fresh upward
swing today to the wheat market here.
Liverpool sent word that arrivals OF
wheat are much under requirements.
and that stocks were decreasing.
furthermore, damage to the Argentine
crop continued owing to frost. drought
and locusts. 1t was said the locusts
had spread into Buenos Aires province.
Opening prices, which ranged from
X to 2A higher, with December at 1.91
to 1.92A, and May at 1.94 to 1.s5 Is,
were followed by a reaction, but then
rise higher than before.
May corn reached to within fraction
of 81 a bushel. but industries remained
free buyers. The close was nervous to

Corn Prices Also Lifted.
Unfavorable Argentine conditions tend
ed to lift corn as we'll as wheat. Offer
ings were light. and corn went to the
highest prices yet this season. After
opening Is to 1ss up. the market sagsed
little and then scored decided addi-
tional gains.
Oats like corn and wheat, ascended to
new high price records for 1916. Nearly
all commission houses were on the buy
ing side. owing largely to the bulge In
corn.
Liberal receipts of hogs throughout
the west weakened provisions. The
chief selling pressure was on lard.
Wheat values surpassed the highest
records in many years. being fmpelled
upward by active export demand

supply total. however. led finally to a
setback, which was Increased by asser-
tions that Argentine flour could be de-
