WHEAT SCORES GAIN

Hesitating Start Followed by Ad-

By the Associated Press.

CHICAGO, September 28.--Wheat
prices scored an early advance today
after hesitating start that was as
sociated with better weather in Can

and in some quarters there was an
evident disposition to regard all bear
factors as having been well dis
counted. Opening at " decline to a
shade advance, wheat soon rose all
around. Corn started 70 to 1h off,
weakened a little more and then re-
covered. Oats were firm. Provisions
also tended higher.
Upturns in wheat values today
were in the face not only of improved
weather for threshing and crop move

Rallies in the corn market today
were ascribed largely to an unofficial

LONG SIDE RULES
. ON CURB EXCHANGE
Utilities in Persistent De-
mand-Price Moves in Oils
Highly Irregular.
BY WILLIAM f. HEFFERNAN
,pecial Dispatch to The Star


NEW YORK. September 2s.-The
element favoring higher prices had
everything their own way in the curb
market operations today. Profit TAX
ing which made itself felt early in the
week evidently had run its course yes
terday, and the ensuing rally which
set in just before the previous closing
was continued during the greater part
Of today's session.
The most noteworthy incident today
was the persistent demand for public
utilities, particularly the lowpriced
issues. There was nothing new in
the affairs Of this class Of companies
to account for their strength. They
were merely considered attractive at
the current levels on an earnings and
assets basis.
A block Of 81 900 shares of Lehigh
Power changed hands at 81, after
which the price rose. Electric Invest
ors sold at new top when it crossed
421a on an enormous turnover
American Super Power issues reached
new highs and Empire Power, South
eastern Power, Northeastern Power
and other loW.priced issues were ac-
tive at better prises. Northern States
Power featured the higher-priced is
sues, selling into new high ground and
carrying with it the convertible bonds.
The urgent demand for this issue was
based on the contention that it was
far behind others because of earnings.
Assurances that New Haven is to
receive a full subscription to the new
preferred was accompanied by an ur-
gent demand for the issue at new high
prices around 1091a. Despite denials
that merger negotiations were in
progress, Murphy Co. continued in de-
mand at an advance of more than 3
points, where it was at it's highest
prices. Bucyrus- Erie new, represent
ing the stock to be issued under the
consolidation plan, reached new top.
Holders have until October IS to make
the change of present shares for the
new issue, but 1t is thought that the
time for exchange will be extended.
Bucyrus Co. new went forward SYM
pathetically to it's best at 10, where it
was up from 66h.
1t was difficult to attract a genuine
public following in the oil stocks.
Humble and Imperial Of Canada were
most active. but price fluctuations
were highly irregular. Bunker Hill
and Sullivan among mining issues
sold at its highest at 1856.

NEW YORK, September 2s.-The
