cross currents of prices ran through
this weeks financial and commodity
markets Stock prices drifted down
ward, while bond quotations rose to |
record high levels. Wheat prices re-
acted sharply, cotton futures held
steady and raw and refined sugar were
marked UP to new high levels for the
season. In the foreign exchange mar |
ket a sensational advance in French
francs contrasted with a sharp decline
in sterling.
The reaction in stock prices appeared
to receive it's impetus from the opera
tion of bear traders, who took advan-
tage of the extreme lack of public par
ticipation. "BulP' quotations succeed
ed in marking up over score issues
to new high levels for the year, but
persistent selling of United States Steell
common and General Motors eventually
unsettled the general list. While there
is still wide divergence of opinion
as to the future trend of prices, most
market observers are agreed that the
next definite trend undoubtedly will
be determined by the course of winter
business.
The strength of bonds reflected the
relative ease of money rates and the
heavy demand for mortgage obliga-
! tions inspired by the uncertainty re-
garding the future trend of stock
prices The enormous demand for the
next Standard Oil Company of New
Jersey debentures even before the of

fled to the hug volume of funds still

Wheat was heavily sold as result
of the upward recessions of previous
estimates of the size of the worlds
crop. Heavy buying by mill interests
acted as a steadying Influence on the
price of cotton. The sharp advance
decree by the Cuban president limit
ing the crop in that country to A.,
100000 tons.
The rally in French francs reflected
! the return home of French capital as
result of the confidence engendered
! by the finance measures submitted to
the chamber of deputies by President
Poincare. Shifting of capital from
! London to Paris also accounted for the
! weakness of sterling. Italian eX-
changes showed tendency to heaVi-l

sponse to the prospective ending of the
