STOCK VALUES
 WILL HOLD OWN,
 BUYERS THINK
Prices Continue To Rise Despite Lack Of Wild
 Outbursts
By EDWARD J. CONDLON

Leased
 NEW YORK, Nov. T.-Those who bought stocks, when the present bull movement first started on the Wednes- day following election day and who have stuck by their guns and have not yielded to the time honored custom of taking profits after a rise in the market, ap- pear more confident over the ability Of present prices to hold if not move for ward to higher levels. Certainly buyers on Monday made commitments with cal culating coldness. There was none of the wild enthusiasm which characterized the sessions of a week or ten days ago, but prices continued to rise just the same.
 Railroad securities were again in the lead, with New York Central leading the van, reaching the best price in two years. Talk of increased dividends for central and several other roads has been the motive power behind the mar ket. With the directors of Missouri, Kansas and Texas going on record at their meeting late Monday afternoon as favoring the payment of dividend on the preferred at the rate of $5 annually as soon as the figures on the years business are ascertained, it is not hard to perceive in what direction the car rier stocks are headed.
 Call Money stiffens
 
 were well down from the highs of the day was due primarily to the stiffening of call money late in the day to 2h per cent against the per cent renewal rate which was also the prevailing rate over the weekend. Incidentally, rates on commercial paper were advanced A Of 1 per cent, and the dicount rates on bankers acceptances h of l per cent, except 180-day bills, which were up A of 1 per cent. This firming up of the money market was ascribed to mid month settlements.
 French Loan Due
 It would appear that the decks are being cleared in bond circles for the $10O, ,O00, ,00O French loan. According to the latest reports from Paris, where ne- gotiations are now in the final stages, offering of the American section will be made here Thursday, or if arrange ments are not complete by that time, then next week at the latest. It is un- derstood that the loan will carry per cent coupon and will be offered on about a 7h per cent basis.
 It has been suggested that the Fed eral Reserve bank celebrate it's tenth anniversary this week by increasing the rediscount rate at the Wednesday meet ing, but in view of the extremely light borrowing of member banks from the regional institution, such suggestion at once appears ludicrous.
 The commodity markets were not par ticularly interesting in the opening ses- sion of the week. Wheat was a shade lower, while small advances were re- corded in corn and oats. The easier tone in cotton was due in part to a private crop estimate by a well-known spot firm which made the yield more than 13,000 900 bales, which would make the largest crop since the 13.250, ,000-bale crop of 1920. A sharp break in coffee prices followed private advices that the recent rise in prices was caused by manipulation in Brazil and not to a shortage of coffee.

chart, can well be interpreted as an in- dication that additional opportunities for trade expansion with our northern neighbor await development.
 With a wealth of natural resources and a comparative small population, Canada's per capita foreign trade is large-roughiy, three times as large for both imports and exports as that of the United States. In the last two years, exports have exceeded $1OO per capita while imports have nearly reached that figure.
 The feature of Canada's foreign trade is of major importance to business in- terests of our own country Is that Can- ada buys the very things which we are best fitted to supply. Of raw ma terfsIs-vegetables, animal and forest products-Canada has superabun- dance, but of manufactured goods and supplies needed for the definite indus trial development of the country, her wants are sufficiently greater than production capacity to make that coun- try one of our most valuable markets.

Better business is already here.

Before me are spread comprehensive =Tecords of last weeks significant and @fmportant industrial, financial, agricul- Fural. commercial and such like devel- Eopments. What do they show?
 Employment has made headway. There were 54 price advances and tonly 15 declines during the week. N Demand for iron and steel has in Ecreased causing an advance in the in- 5dustry's price index for the first time sn months.
 Railway freight reords surpassed any thing ever, experienced during the core #sponding week in any previous year ssEquipment orders reported last week Preached the unusual total of $21, ,000, ,000 Our exports during the last ten z.months have expanded more than $3O0,- 100000, while imports have declined $235, 100000. Our favorable balance last Hchiefly to enormous shipments of grain Hand the heaviest shipments of cotton Fever made in any one month. # Sterling is at practically the highest Gpoint touched in recent years and the Bother principal foreign exchanges are also doing better notwithstanding Flu. Esrope's enlarged buying here. Our enor mous foreign loans manifestly have <been a factor in enabling Europe to in.
  ucts.
 The recent decline in cotton has had a distinctly stimulating effect upon manufacturing. Production of finished goods is now very close to the rate o1 a year ago. Last week brought a rath- CT sharp advance in cotton, but this commodity cannot be regarded as sell ing out of line.
 DIh's Says:
 "Wholesale dealers report the receipt of many orders that have been held in abeyance and note an increasing ten dency to anticipate future necessities despite a general upward trend in prices"
 The copper industry has taken on new life and quotations, consequently, have stiffened.
 Reads one newspaper headline: Rush to buy rugs for spring season nothing to compare with the interest in floor coverings since war days" Other items:
 Wool is in keener demand. President Small, of the American Express com. pany, reports an increase in business and earnings. So does Vice President Welliver of Western Union. Postage stamps sales are expanding
 There were more customers in the market than during this week last year." reports Marshall Field & Co Bank clearings last week were 25 per cent greater than year ago, due part ly, of course, to Wall street boom. Yet the Federal Reserve bank added to its percentage of reserves.
 The government marked up it's esti- mate of the corn yield by 19,000, ,00( bushels, but corn quotations rose sub stantially. Wheat and oats, after ir. regular fluctuations, showed little net change for the week. A violent break 1T coffee was one salutary incident. Presi. dent Murphy, of the New York Lumber

o YER two-thirds of Canada's total foreign purchases are made in the
 United States, the volume of these purchases being equal to 15 per cent of all our exports. And we, in turn, buy 40 per cent of all the materials Canada has to sell, which is equal to Il per cent to IA per cent of our total im- ports. These last figures are exceeded only by the United Kingdom.
 Economically and socially, Canada may be considered as a northern exten- sion of the United States and our trade with Canada is more like our own i'm terstate trade than our foreign trade with any other country. The movement of industrial raw materials from Can ada into the United States and the re- turn flow of a miscellaneous assort- ment of partly or wholly manufactured goods Is not unlike a. similar flow be- tween the west and south and the more industrialized northeastern part of the United States. Viewed in this light, the situation, pictured in the above

NEW YORK, Nov. 17.-It has been a day of reaction in the cotton market. The trade was a good buyer, taking most of the contracts thrown on the market. The shadow of another gov ernment report is across the market and this is causing liquidation. Friends here from the south all seem convinced that the government has overestimated the crop and state that many gins are idle. Rumors were sent south of a probable increase in the Federal Re serve rate but inquiry made here of the reports show there was nothing in the rumor. The trade was big buyer near the close.-Fenner & Beane to Kahn & Virgin.
