OLD RECORDS FALL
ON CURB EXCHANGE
Prices Surge Forward, Ig-
! noring Bear NeWs-Ford
Il Influence Is Felt.
BY WILLIAM #. HEFFERNAN.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, November 30.-It was
another record-breaking day Of activ-
ity and strength on the curb market.
Ignoring everything that might have
oeen construed as unfavorable, even
to the matter of the extent of the re-
cent Improvement, prices surged for
ward.
The most significant incident was
not the fact that the leaders were able
TO establish new peaks, but that the
Improvement was almost as pro-
nounced as at any other time, despite
profit taking, which was heavy at in
tervals.
Ford Trade Is Felt.
So much has been said concerning
the Ford influence that repetition is
hardly necessary, but it was the issues
which stand to benefit through Ford
contracts that commanded a promi-
nent place in the upward movement.
Ford of Canada itself scored an over
night gain of 10 points to 725, new
high record.
.Firestone Tire, although 1t did not
establish a new high, gained more
than Z points. crossing 1877. Firestone
has as it's principal customer the Ford
Co. and despite the shutdown at the
Ford plants was able to make good
money during the current year.
Heavy buying at new high prices
of Trico Products followed the action
of directors in placing the stock on
annual dividend basis of $3.50 by dec
laration of a quarterly dividend of
621a cents a share.
U. s. Freight Is Feature.
United States Freight, despite the
fact that it was selling ex-dividend,
reached a new peak Hershey pre-
ferred evidently was being groomed
for early listing on the Stock Elk.
change and reached its best prices.
Bancitaly, on rumors of another stock
dividend, which would bring total
stock distributions this year to 25 per
cent. went into new high ground above
1870. Tubize Artificial Silk, after
having absorbed recent heavy profit
taking, rose spectacularly almost 80
points.
Reports that one Of the most power
ful banking groups was again active
on the buying side of Johns-Manville
were accompanied by an upturn of
points to it's best. Others that stood
out strongly at top prices included
Bohn Aluminium and American Roll

WHEAT VALUES SAG
ON FOREIGN REPORTS
Drop in Liverpool Quotations and
Increased Argentina Crop
Estimates Factor.
BY the Associated Press,

By the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, November 30.-Fresh
downturrs in wheat values here took
place early today, rejecting lower
quotations at Liverpool than were
due. Increased estimates of Argen-
tine wheat production continued to
exercise bearish influence. Opening
at a to l cent off, Chicago wheat
held near to the initial range. Corn,
oats and provisions were also inclined
to sag, with corn starting unchanged
to "a cent down, and later showing a
setback all around.
Weakness of the Liverpool wheat
market today, which had depressing
effect on the Chicago pit, was asso-
ciated with liquidation of December
contracts abroad. heavy tenders of
red Winter grades at Liverpool being
looked for tomorrow. Besides, indica-
tions pointed to dearth of immediate
new export business in wheat from
North America. On the other hand, it
was announced that European import
requirements for the season would
total 633, 900 bushels against 597,-
$4,000 bushels last year.
Cold wave predictions gave a down
ward impulse to corn values much of
the time today. Husking returns, how
ever. were reported as continuing to
indicate that final official figures on
corn yield will have to be substantial
ly reduced from those Of November l.

IN COTTON MARKET
Private Crop Estimate and
Price Difference With
Liverpool Factors.
BY the Associated Press.


NEW YORK, November 30-The
cotton market opened steady today
at an advance Of 8 to points and
soon showed net gains of 13 to %
points, January selling up to 1915
on covering and Liverpool buying.
The relatively firm showing of
Liverpool and recent broadening of
differences between that market and
New York appeared to be attracting
considerable buying here against sales
abroad, while there may have been
some covering on a private report
estimating the crop at 12,583,OOO
bales.
Private cables reported trade call
ing, covering and continental buying
in the Liverpool market and a good
