CHICAGO, November 10.--Fine
weather in Argentina led to early

Starting unchanged to IL cent lower
the Chicago wheat market underwent

subsequently scoring an all-around

With Government crop report due
after the close today and with tOmor-
row a holiday, grain traders showed
considerable inclination to assume a
waiting attitude. In the case of wheat
this was especially noticeable, infiu
enced somewhat by renewed asser-
tions that the British coal strike was
near to an end and that some loosen
ing Of ocean freight rates for Decem-
ber and January was probable
although strike settlement was
likely to have no nearby influence.
Fresh strength which showed itself
at times in the corn market today was
more or less related to the fact that
the volume of country offerings of
corn appeared to be moderating. Be
sides, shipping demand here for corn
was improved, according TO cash

Street Mostly Interested in
Steel Untitled Orders and

BY STUART r. WEST.
Special Dispatch to The Star.


NEW YORK, November 10.--Wall
Streets interest was chiefly occupied
today with the United States Steel
Corporations monthly report on un'
filed orders and the action which
General Motors directors were sched
uled to take tomorrow on dividends.
The increase IN steel tonnage during
October was distinctly less than eX'
pected and Steel shares We're actively
sold on the publication of the figures.
General Motors went through er-
ratio fluctuations, rejecting the vary
ing opinions as to whether there
would be an extra dividend. and if so
whether it would be So, 81 of SIS a

was decided upon at this time, it
would mean merely q short postpone

Shares Are Unsettled.
An unsettling effect was created by
the weakness in industrial shares
which at one time or another in the
last few months have been prominent
objects Of speculation for the rise.
Among these We're Fox Film "A,
pathe Exchange class "a" which
had another bad sinking spell Postum
Cereal came down for Il time and so
did Allied Chemical and Famous Play
ers. Warner Brothers a. ran into a
good deal of stock after it had again
crossed 50.
L. S. Rubber stood out strongly but
for no new reason. The expectation
is that the more stable conditions now
existing in the industry will be re-
'ealed particularly in L. S. Rubber,
because Of it's ownership of a consid
s,rable percentage Of crude rubber.
A feature Of the day was the
strength in some Of the lowpriced
public utilities. like Electric Power
and Light, National Power and Light
and American and Foreign Power
Good opinion is that this class of stock
has been overlooked in comparison
with other members of the public util
:ty group which are paying dividends
and are selling much higher. Most
sf these companies are reporting a
steady increase in earnings.
Oil Shares Inactive.
OIL shares did little and the cop

afforded a preteXt for offering down
