UP WARD MOVE |S' ON FIRM BASIS.
New Factors Only Can Dis- turb Steady Advance
 In Stocks
Fly WALTER H. BROWN NLe0sed Wire To The AEe-Hcra


 NEW YORK, Nov. 16.-Granting that the impulse to the upward move ment of stocks in the last three weeks was artificially prepared, the question arises as to whether there existed sufficient basis to sustain it, Thus far the facts have proved that the basis did exist and that it is likely to continue unless it is disturbed by the intervention of new factors.
 Domestic trade conditions are fa- year. and especially In the last few months, has been conducted in a man. her somewhat different from usual, in that industrial buying has been in what is commonly described as a hand mouth fashion. In other only their current needs and have been afraid to anticipate future re- quirements.
 There has been a peculiar psycho- logy back of this based upon the bit ter experience of the buyers strike of 1920. Those who have studied the situation have realized that higher prices for commodities generally were inevitable. The movement of the commodity index has verified this be- lief. Distributors themselves have realized this probability, but have been held back by the fear that the buying public would resist the ad- vances, as was done in 1920.
 As has been so often pointed out in this correspondence, conditions are not parallel. There are no large in- Ventories; there is no unemployment, and no lack of buying power. Ad- vances are based not upon the specu- lative conditions, but on increased costs of production-labor aud ma terials. These higher costs are legitimate In the sense that they are the result of the operation of supply and demand.
 In the textile department, in par ticular, some embarra ssment is likely to result from the fact that when the demand really awakens there will not be sufficient manufactured stocks to draw from, with the result that for time, at least there will be an artificial shortage until manufactur- CTS &Sl catch up.
 CosA spending conditions prevail in regard to practically all other classes of manufactures. There has been lit- tie or no buying ahead and 1t is doubtful if there ever was a time when inventories were so completely down to bare bones as they are now.
 One of the chief contentious on the part of the bears in the stock market, particularly ill reference to indus- trials is that production costs are too high to allow fair margin of profit. There are two reasons to this. One is that selling prices will have to be advanced accordingly, and the buy ing public will have to be educated to them. The other is that these fears are unfounded, as is indicated by the declaration of increased dividends by one after another of the industrial concerns.

CHICAGO, Nov. 16.-Wheat: GaVe a rather poor account of itself, although 1t had fair rally from the early low point. News from seaboard was little better with about 500.000 worked. The trade, however, continued to give very little at tention to news from abroad. The market is very nervous and becomes congested easily in either direction. It has the earmarks of an irregularly lower trend.
 Corn: Met with local selling. Principal support was covering by shorts. There are many who believe corn will eventually be higher, but are awaiting the effect of q movement and also what effect further break in wheat may have. Country offer ings do not show much increase.
 Oats: Inactive with no particular price change. Commission houses were fair buyers. supposed to be for northwestern account.
 Provisions: Firm with packers princi- pal buyers. Trade In lard more active. Hogs 10c to 15c lower, but closed strong at the decllna. Top. S6.90.

KAHN BROS. & VIRGIN STOCK

NEW YORK, Noy.l 16-The feature of trading today was Davison Chemical, which opened up points and advanced to 65 on publication of news items that an important contract had been entered into with the Vacuum Oil company. The bal ance of the list developed a lazy dispo- sition and there was considerable selling on slight bulges. Whether this was due to natural profit taking apprehension regarding conditions abroad could not Joe determined, but no doubt the foreign stu- atlon had a depressing influence.
 Industrial leaders suffered the grea test declines apd at the same time the upward move in the rails was checked despite the continued record car oadings.
 Baldwin Locomotive was the strongest stock during the day due to the techni- cal ,position and big earnings. The float ing supply Is very small and the short interests persist in selling it so that at times it becomes very Interesting Studebaker was as weak as Baldwin was strong. for which there was no apparent reason, as MaxwelL Motors A was moved upward more than two points.

DUN's REVIEW

NEW YORK. Nov. 16.--Dun's tomorrow will say:
 Except for natural growth of retail demand with the approach of winter, business Is without essential change. The same irregularities and contrasts that have marked the situation in recent months are still present in different quar- ters Proposals for d reduction of federal taxes, however, have occasioned wide fla vorable comment, and further gain in some interests. Yet the sharp rise in stock prices of a fortnight. ago, which apparently helped sentiment has been fol pression in foreign exchange has con tirued. One of the most significant of the current movements is the price yield ing which appears Tn hides and leather. pig iron, some kinds of building materials and various other commodities, and whiclf Is again reflected in the excess of de- clnes in Dun's list of wholesale quota tions.

 HUBBARD BROS. & CO.'S LETTER
 NEW YORK, Nov. 1s.--(special.)--Liv erpool was stronger again this morning, partly due to the matter of sterling ex- change. which in the past few days has moved sharply against the English mar ket. On the other hand, there is no doubt that Manchester is. doing a good at the higher level of prices. This buying Is reflected in fthe spot markets south. Hssa the market opened higher in re- sponse to cables and to low crop esti- mate from the National Ginners associ-s alton, but little excitement followed the publication of these figures and 1t Is be- coming increasingly evident that the trade has definitely made up It's mind to a crop around or slightly under ten million.

plan for this purpose. 1t appeals to
people whose only reason for not
owning a car was because they did
MT happen to have the first payment.
A broad application of the thrift
movement to car purchase will be
strongly supported by the banks
because II. tends to swell their Sd
wings accounts. The Ford plan ra-
Their ingeniously links the savings
idea to the Ford car and virtually
ties the prospective purchaser TO
the purchase as soon as he begins
to save for the first payment. The
position OF the dealer and the Ford
company, aside from any increased
sales resulting, will be strengthen
ed because cooperation of local
banks will be sought in determining
the credit risks OF prospective pur-
chasers.
In effect the family which takes
advantage of the plan is merely
starting a savings account pledged
to the purchase of an automobile.
lnstallment purchase upon the
whole has not stimulated extrava-
gance, and has undoubtedly made
thrift attractive with an object for
saving.

A Ford Considered as
An Object of Thrift

A weekly purchase payment plan
forF ordca RS increases the amount
of credit available to purchasers by
reaching down to the family savings
in the home and at the bank. It
does not secure delivery of a Ford
car upon payment of a minimum of
$500 down and $500 or more
weekly, as seems to be supposed.
Changing status of the automo-
bile is indicated in tho way the mo-
tor is passing from the luxury class
into that of necessities. With a
large part of the rural public, "Own
your own automobile" ranks with
own your own Home" in a family
budget policy.
In the days of high wages, savings
banks deposits show some but not d
increase. Thrift is
as little universal as it ever was.
AS wages and salaries are received
in growing amoutns, more ways are
found for spending them. Although
automobile manufacturers generally
have directed their efforts toward
1iverting these spendings toward
of their product, Ford
seems to have devised a practical
