Profit Taking and Buying

Chicago, Oct. G. Strength in
wheat under profit taking by shorts
and buying for foreign account led
all grains to sharply higher levels
on the Board of Trade today. Final
prices were near the best of the
day, December wheat showing net
gains of 9& to 80 cents and March
Sla to 8 cents after an erratic ses-
sion marked by numerous violent
dips and rallies. Covering of large
short lines of wheat and corn In
the final half hour carried prices
in all pits to new high marks for
the day
Bulges were sharp all along the
line at the opening on a rush of
orders from shorts to cover. Re
actions were sharp when this de-
mand was filled.
Fluctuations in corn were as
rapid as in wheat. over a range
of around 3 cents. Spot prices ad-
vanced. but premiums were low
cred L to l cent.
Cash houses sold oats freely on
the bulges, but the trend was
strong in sympathy with other
grains. Spot prices followed the
futures up.
The close left December wheat
with a net gain of 9S4 to 10 cents
and March with SI2 to 9 cents. De-
Cember corn moved up 3 cents. May
rs to cents. and October 22
cents. oats gained IL to IL cents

selling at the start, but later the
pressure from that source was
much less active. This. with cover
ing Of shorts and support from q

about 40 to 54 points net higher

off toward midday and prices
showed reactions of some Is to 25

BROKER LAUDS
LOEW'S ACTION
N. Y, Broker Declares Pub
lie Ownership is Sign Of
H.. The Times.
PRINCIPLE IS ECONOMIC

Weapon in Combating
Bolshevism.
PRINCIPLE IS ECONOMIC

Financial circles in Washington
are entirely familiar with Marcus
LOew's offer of stock to his theater
patrons at s22 per share, payable
81 down and SO a month for six
months. Few. perhaps. appreciate,
however. the full significance of
Loew's offer. Few. perhaps, see in
this a trend which is shaping up
on the part Of big businesses to-
ward greater public ownership. A
prominent New York broker. in
town yesterday. when approached
regarding Loew's latest action,
commented as follows:
This move on the part of Marcus
Loew is a sign of the times. More
and more we see the people of this
country taking the ownership of
our important businesses out of
Wall Street into their safe deposit
boxes. More and more we find our
selves progressing toward that goal
of cooperative business where the
user and consumer of the products
Of industry gets back part of what
he pays in the form of dividends
on his investments. This is the
true and sound economic principle
of cooperative business.
Take the case in question. Every
patron stoCkhOlder of LOew's the
aters gets back part of his admis-
sion price in the form of dividends
on his investment. The per cent
dividends now paid represent at
least per cent more than a saw
ings bank return. This ) per cent
therefore. is the stockholders extra
return in the business which he
helps make successful.
The idea of stock ownership by
employees have become a recognized
economic principle. and all OF OuI
large corporations are fostering il
The idea of stock ownership by
patrons is a step further. and a
sound principle because public own
rTship of this kind does not inter
fere with efficient management and
does insure public interest and sup
port \ man who owns stock in
our nations Industries pays little
attention to the false doctrines OF
FuIShevism."
