WHEAT HAS SETBACK;
CORN AND OATS EASY
Failure of Argentine Government
to Prevent Low Export Prices
Has Bearish Effect.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
CHICAGO. January 19-Indications
that no definite steps have been taken
to prevent low prices on Argentine
exports gave wheat an early setback
today. Liverpool quotations lower

ing.
Advices In reply to inquiries about
reports that the Argentine govern
ment intends to take official action to
support wheat prices said that al.
though the government will endeayor
to prevent the Argentine wheat crop
from being exported at a low price
nothing definite had yet been ATTEMPT
ed. Word from other sources was that
rumors of an advance to farms by the
Argentine government were without
foundation, and had been put out by
interested parties.
Wheat traders here leaned to the
view that wheat supplies in Argentina
must be proving burdensome if gov
eminent aid is necessary to support
the prices. 1t was also pointed out
that although Chicago stocks are
small. the United States still has
wheat left for export and that domes-
tic prices are above world parity.

NEW YORK, January 19-The
buying wave in the railway stocks
finally overcame today the elements OF
opposition which it had been encoun

Yesterday the rail buying had been
matched by the selling of the indus
trials. Today selling of the indus

sharp rebound in the steels, motors,
equipments and other groups which
had previously been weak.
The three motives underlying the
movement in the railway shares re-
manned as they have been all along,
IN overflow Of investment buying
from the bond market, the expecta-
ton of DIVIDEND increases in stock
dividends, and the possibilities arising
ont of the merger projects. OF these
three the investment factor is the
most important Buying of stocks

cific today was plainly of an invest
anent character and it was investment
buying which showed also in other
standard dividend payers like South

Iouis-San Francisco.
Regrouping of railway systems,
which it is felt will be carried forward
during the year, was the particular
influence in the case of Baltimore and
Ohio. Pennsylvania continued to hold
around top figures. Bangor and Aroo-
stock went across so for the first time
sn over a year. More buying came
into Missouri Pacific preferred on its
stock dividend possibilities, and Rock
Island was strong again.

expression of optimism regarding

Fuel and Iron was stronger. Liquid
Carbonic, among the specialties, had
