WHEAT PRICES
REACH NEW
HIGHS
BY CHARLES j. LEYDEN
Universal Serxice Sfaff CarreSnondenf


CHICAGO, Nov. 21.-Surprising
and sustained strength in foreign
markets at Buenos Aires and Liver
pool renewed the bull market in the
local wheat pit today, prices reach
ing new tops on the movement.
Profit taking cut short part of the
advance at the last. The character
OF foreign news and the persistent
rise in prices in foreign exchanges
TO many indicated that the Argentine
wheat crop was facing disaster, but
Notwithstanding many of the big
longs took advantage of the bulge to
accept handsome profits as the week
ended.
Generally the impression seemed to
prevail that while damage has I'M
doubtedly been experienced in the
southern hemisphere the extent OF
deterioration and probably further
losses has been grossly exaggerated,
and on this theory many longs
wavered. However, the market had
plenty of snap and recovered rapidly
from the depressions. Corn was sick
and lower at the last.
A good export business in wheat
was put through, the Seaboard con-
firming sales of 100000 bushels, some
business done in other grains. Liver
pool wheat closed IL to 3 rs pence
higher. Buenos Aires closed to 8
cents up.
Locally wheat finished Is to 3 IA
cents higher, corn ga to IL cents
down, oats Is to IA cents lower and
rye 1 to IA cents higher.
Corn sagged through a dull session
to lower levels. Speculative buying
in corn is very laggard. and cover
ing by shorts in sympathy with the
great strength in wheat seems to be
the sustaining influence.
Weather conditions over the corn
belt have improved materially the
last week and during the enxt ten
days primary markets are ligely to
receive large increase in the receipts
of new crop grain. The cash basis To-
cally was very weak today.
Oats were in light trade and fin
ished a trifle lower.
Rye trailed the leading cereal to
higher levels.
Provisions finished irregularly.
enough support centered in the cur
rent delivery to effect moderate gains,
but the late months sagged more for
the want of buying than anything
else.

CURB MARKET DOWN
SLIGHTLY AT OPENING
AND RETAINS LEVEL

NEW YORK, Nov. 21.-The Curb
market opened today with recessions
of about point in many higher priced
issues. The selling was not sufficient
to cause any excited unsettlement, but
indicated an inclination of buyers to
place sliding orders in acquiring new
holdings.
Although reports were received of
advances in gasoline and kerosene
rates in several sections the market
in those stocks failed to respond.
Vacuum Oil opened up a point, but
losht that improvement later.
The weeks trading included several
days of acute settlement and uneasi-
ness, chiefly due TO the sharp declines
in many groups of stock on the New
York Stock Exchange, which impaired
accounts in which Curb securities were
carried. This naturally forced liquida-
ton in those issues.
The market, however, has moved in
a manner to foreshadow a receding
period and a supply appearing when
ever public interest seemed to he on
a larger scale. Toward the end of
the week, however, there was a moder-
ate recovery, rejecting efforts to COW
er shorts put out in the early de-
clines.
The dealings In the utility stocks
were wide.
A feature OF the oil stocks was
heavy trading in Salt Creek Products,
which ranged from 30 rs to above
81.

COTTON JUMPS

NEW YORK. Nov. 21.-Cotton
prices jumped Immediately after the
market opened as the result Of the
bullish flavor of the ginning report.
Gains ranging from $3.50 to more
than S. bale from the early low
levels were registered on the advance.
But around the 81 cent level for De
cember contracts. the market en-
countered heavy hedge selling and
liquidation from local interests. This
resulted in a moderate reaction from
the early high levels.
Weekly reviews of the dry goods
situation indicated that business was
comparatively quiet owing to the fact
that the majority of trade interests
were withholding new business pend
ing the publication of the government
crop estimates.

CHICAGO. Nov. 21.-The wheat
market bounded forward nearly 4
cents in the initial dealings here to.
day. The July position showed the
most strength, touching one of the
highest levels of the year.
The entire buying movement, de-
scribed as one of the broadcast in q
long time, was attributed to reduced
crop estimates in other wheat growing
countries. Argentina especially report
ed a decrease in the expected yield.
Reactionary tendencies after the
first upward squirt failed to lower the
market much.
Corn. oats and rye were quick to
respond to the gains in the leading
cereal.
The close found the coarse grains
at good gains over the previous days

BE CAREFUL.
Beware, therefore, of oil, gold and
other stocks coming under this CLASH

The records show that tobacco

safest. For every dollar lost by
tobacco shareholders, nearly $50 was
made. None of these other industries
approach this wonderful showing.
Small investors are extremely fool

who ring door-bells. Such gentry
lie without hesitation. Their sole
aim is to get money, and to get it
they will say anything.
These who are well informed about
stocks and bonds should first consult
nearby banker or write to some

Investigate before you invest.
Above all, never "fall for" oil or

1T will be recalled that the National
Negro Business League met in this
city at the Wendell Phillips High
School building the middle Of August,
1924, and the Saturday before its meet
ing this newspaper was the only news
paper in this city to get up special
issue Of the paper on that grand and
historic event. The best Of Aberdeen
book paper was used and four beauti
ful double column halftone newspaper
cuts occupied its front page, namely,
the late DR.. Booker T. Washington,
the late Mrs. Booker 4. Washington,
pr. Robert R. Motion and Mr.. Jesse
Binga.
No other newspaper in this city pub
hshed in the interest of the colored
race in this city came within one thou
sand miles Of approaching it.
On Tuesday morning before the first
session Of the National Negro Busi-
ness League was opened up for busi-
ness we took much pride in presenting
pr Motion with copy Of that issue
OF the paper with his picture on its
front page. He looked at it for few
moments before he was able to speak;
then he declared that that was the
best and finest piece Of newspaper
work that he had ever come in contact
with" Then he walked away without
saying thank you or offering to pay
10 cents for the copy of the paper.
Later on his eyes opened real wide
when he beheld four or FIVE little col
ored boys distributing one thousand
copies among the delegates and the
others who attended the opening ses-
sion Of his personal National Negro
business League.
