ADVANCE CROP NEWS
GIVES WHEAT BOOST
Argentina and Australia Reports
Stimulate Buying of Grain
in Chicago Today.
By the Associated Press.

CHICAGO, November 8.-Adverse
crop reports both from Argentina
and Australia had much to do with
an early upturn of wheat values to.
day. Damage from drought and
frost were noted in the western part
of North Argentina with premature
ripening in some provinces of Aus
tralia. Opening / to 2 cents higher.
wheat held near to initial figures.
Corn and oats were firm, corn start
ing, % to 20 up. and soon overcoming
setbacks. Provisions tended to sag.
According to crop experts here the
part Of Argentina where damage from
drought and frost are reported is In
Cordoba. This IS the most important
Northern province with more than
5,500.O 900 acres. Today's reports We're
taken as showing definite crop losses
in that territory.
Advices from Australia today said
that as a result of premature ripening
of wheat the yields are expected to-
be below average except in New South
Wales. News today of Wintry wealth
er in Canada tended further to lift
wheat values at times. and eager
watch meanwhile was given to con
fiicting reports as to likelihood of
quick settlement Of the British coal
strike.

RAIL AND COPPER
/ Stocks LEADERS
Selling Breaks Out in General
Motors-Atchison in New
/ II High Ground.
BY STUART p. WEST.
Spedal Dispatch TO The Star.

spedal Dispatch to The Star
NEW YORK, November Sin to-
days stock market the strength Of
tonne of the dividend-paying rails and
- the copper shares were the out
sianding features. These strong
points were partly offset by selling
which broke out from time to time
tn General Motors.
Speculative circles profess uneasi-
,tess over the General Motors divi.
dend meeting later in the week. The
idea was that while some were looking
Jur an extra S. and others were talk
siig about no extra at all, the real
decision was not likely TO be made
until the directors actually assemble.
The Street could see little in the
WAY Of immediate possibilities for the
motor shares except as they might
become oversold and rally In SYM
rathy with the buying movement
SlSeWhere.
The taking mp of tho copper shares
Mas a popular incident in view of
Tne Widespread public interest irl
these stocks. Nevada Consolidated
and Ray Consolidated made new highs
1ur the year and so did Kennecott.
The Eennecott meeting Is scheduled
Tor November II and 1t is expected
that then the stock will be put on a
g.. basis against the present 81. Ne
Vada Consolidated was bought again
on talk Of an increase in it's dividend
from the current 81 a year. American
Smelling went up with the coppers.
The Improvement In the copper situa-
rlnn was illustrated by the third quar-
Tel report of CRANKY Consolidated,
showing profit of S595,565. against
>533.4 .413 the year before.
Atchison went into new high ground
n all time, stimulating the rumors
y nich have been around for SO long
a. 3 stock dividend. The shares of
+hp Northern carriers were in some
demand, as they were toward the end
s,f last week-Chicago and North
western, Great Northern preferred
and Northern Pacific.
The rise was based less on agricul-
fural prospects than on the attractive
I oss of the interest yield now that
the dividends Of these companies can
le regarded as reasonably secure.
The Government cotton crop report
with it's huge estimate of 11,9lS,00o
tales had no effect upon the stock
market because 1t appeared to have
been discounted in the cotton market,
shares of the Southern rails were not
conspicuous, but Atlantic Coast Line
went up and Southern Railway dur
ing the greater part OF the time held
firm. There was no suggestion in
the movement of these stocks of any
serious fear about the consequences Of
the cotton situation. although 1t is
recognized that the Improbable prices
of cotton might make themselves felt
later on upon business conditions.
Woolworth' had q sharp run up.
Radio Corporation was actively bought
ior a while, and so was Freeport,
Texas. But the industrials were not
as prominent as were the rails. Equip
inent shares like Baldwin Locomotive
,noved uncertainty. American Sugar
was strong in reflection of the Wv
that the SIS dividend would be main.
tained indefinitely and that as a S.
dividend payer the stock was low in
the present money market.

mon was advanced to 80 today, with

Treasury Surplus Permits Refund.
Secretary Mellon is convinced that
the Treasury can afford to give a re-
fund or rebate on taxes paid the
Federal Government during the year,
| because revenues have run far in ex-
| cess of estimates and also we'll ahead
Of expenditures. II Congress acts be-
/ fore December Is, it will be possible
| to allow taxpayers to take credit on
their last installment payments, there
| by saving the mailing of checks to

| necessary in the case Of refund. A
direct refund would be a tremendous
and costly undertaking.

| One of the first of the railroads to
make public an estimate of October
gross earnings is the Western Mary
land. Swelling revenues from the
rush of coal shipments make the 81

average railroad will show. Gross for

pared with $1,732,316. Coal and coke
freight alone leaped ahead 103 per
cent.

department, and. while hundreds
looked on, a little girl from the
audience drew out name. 1t was
