CHICAGO. November 24.-Soaring

5 cents a bushel higher today almost
az soon as trading began. December
shot up to 1.63A, as compared with
158A to 1.59 at yesterdays close
Reports were current that crop dam
age was spreading from the north
into the center of Argentina.
Corn and oats sympathiZed with
wheat strength. After opening Is to
y higher-December, 72B to 73A-
corn scored a moderate further ad-
vance.
Oats started u to q up.-December,

Provisions were responsive to the
upward trend of grain and also of the
hog market.
Unusual activity and sustained
high prices characterized the wheat
market as the day continued. Ac-
cording TO views expressed In some
quarters, crop failures in many sec
tions Of Argentina would largely
change the world supply and demand
situation. and would intensity the
consequences of relative scarcity of
wheat in the United States.
On the other hand. enormous re-

cited as likely to offset any probable
shortage in Argentina, and it was

French Liens Again Weak-Do-
mestic Issues Quiet-C. & O.
Elves Improve.
BY GEORGE T. HUGHES.

Special Dispatch to The Star
NEW YORK, November 24.-Fur-
ther sagging of French bonds, more
pronounced in the municipal and rail-
way issues than In the direct obliga-
tions of the government, was the fea-
ture of the bond market today. The
greater relative weakness of the
French Cities 6s and of the Seine Is
was explainable on the grounds that
they had not been so largely affected
by the selling on Monday.
Trading in the balance of the for
eign list was not Influenced so much
by the weakness in French issues as
on Monday Austrian rs got down
to par and German rs dipped below
101, but generally speaking other
European bonds were steady.
The factor operating adversely to
the bond market as a whole, and not
simply to the foreign department. was
the increasing number of new offer
ings. Today bonds to the amount of
$27 100000, not counting municipals,
and on Monday to the amount of S10,-
100000 were put out, and while these
sums are not large in themselves,
there must be added the stock offer
ings. many of which appeal to the
same clientele.

STOCKS IRREGULAR
/ |NF|NAL TRADING
Motors Most Active During
Last Hour-Many Early
Gains Are Later Lost.
BY STUART p. WEST.

Special Dispatch TO The star.
NEW YORK, November PA
highly irregular movement of prices
characterized operations on the Stock
Exchange today. The market at the
start was bid up rather sharply, but
as the session progressed further sell
ing came in and in the early after
noon the greater part of the list had
lost all and in some instances more
than the early Improvement. In the
last half hour, however, buying was
renewed, especially in the motors.
Jordan Motor and Willys-Overland
were little changed. and this was true
Of Packard also. On the other hand,
the severe fall of the previous days in
Hudson and in White Motors natural
" invited profit-taking by spectators
who had been operating on the short
side.
Corn Products Active.
Corn Products was actively bought.
and at the time it sold above 40 it
was up nearly , points. The stock
was being bought on the knowledge
that there has been a decided
change for the better in the earnings
situation. which during the first six
months of 1925 was not satisfactory.
Phillips Petroleum was moderately
responsive to the announcement that
the stock had been put on So divi-
dend basis, the dividend including the
new 25 per cent additional issue, as
we'll as the old stock Other oil shares
were only slightly changed.
Metal Prices Weak.
The disappointing action of the
conner market, where the recent rise
was stopped and prices were obvious
" sagg!ng, had its effect upon the
copper group. Anaconda, around 46 y,
was down a point on the day and D
points from its recent high.
Railway shares showed no indica-
ton of reSuming the bull movement,
which for few days a week and two
weeks ago looked rather promising.
Stocks like Great Northern preferred,
Northern Pacific and New York Cen
trail were up fraCtionally, but without
developing any further activity. The
fluctuations in Baltimore and Ohio
reflected uncertainty as to whether
the expectations of an extra dividend
would be borne out.
Holders Anxious to Sell.
Wall Street had much overdis-
counted the effect upon stock prices
of the various capital split-upS and
other extra disbursements to share
owners. They had been talked about
for months and furnished the ammu-
milton for the great upward swing
which started in the first week of Sep
tember and kept on into early No
Tember. But when the news finally
was out, it was found that people
were not anxious to buy, but, on the
contrary. We're waiting to sell. 1t was
simply the familiar instance of favor
able development which everybody
had long awaited, proving to have
been overmeasured in the speculative
operations which went before.

Competition Vital Factor.

Bankers who oppose and dislike
branch banking are being driven TO 10
by competition. One of the greatest
national banks in America is now
awaiting the action of Congress at
this session before it decides to sur
render to the competition of the State
banks.
Unless branch barking is forbidden,
now that the roots of it are well set
and it's works gainging favor in the
banking world, it may be expected
that If it is not checked by law it will
in time GUST the local unit bank. as 1t
has in every other country in the
world once permitted. Whether branch
banking be good or bad of itself, 1t is
certain that it will undermine if not
wipe out the national bank system
unless the banks of that system be
permitted to fight fire with fire. And
when the national banks are elimi-
mated or even substantially reduced
the Federal reserve system becomes
a phantom or a hollow shell.
