The rise in stock prices appeared
to receive its chief impetus from pow
erful financial pools as commission
houses reported little interest on the
part of small traders and investors.
In the last half of the week, General
Motors issues contributed about one
fifth of the entire volume of trading,
soaring to new peak prices coincident
with the publication of record-break-
ing August sales report. Copper and
public utilities also displayed better
evidence OF group strength, but the
oils were again sluggish. Numerous
soft spots cropped out throughout the
week
Cotton declined in the face of a
bullish consumption report and pre-
dictions of unfavorable weather. The
December option closed at 21.39 cents
a pound, as against the weeks high
of 2284 cents and last weeks close Of
2290 cents Wheat futures declined 5
to Z cents a bushel, with selling in
spired largely by a sharp increase in
the Canadian crop estimate. Other
grains declined in sympathy.

Douglas daily dispatch., 1927-09-18


NEW YORK, Sept II P9-Heavy
selling pressure which developed after
a morning of irregularity, turned
prices toward lower levels in today's
stock market Numerous extensive
gains were wiped out and frequently
converted into losses in the last few
minutes of trading.
Earlier in the session, renewed buy
ing of General Motors issues carried
the prices to new peaks, along with
several other prominent shares. Trad
ing was heavy for a half holiday ses-
sion, the total sales aggregating about
100000 shares, of which approx
mately one-fourth was in the two
General Motors stocks. General Mot
orS old stock closed 21a points lower,
after touching new top at 27714, and
the new reached a new peak at 139,
closing at 1851, off liz points net
. Prices apparently moved in disre-
gard of current news developments,
market commentators, however, put a

President Coolidge believed sub
Stantial tax cut possible despite in
creased army and navy appropriations,
and on the reported quickening in
wholesale trade and industrial activity
during the past week.
Pools, influenced probably by the

Canadian prairie provinces would total
ponly 100000 bushels less than the
latest government estimate.
Closing quotations on wheat were
heavy, 1%c to 2Ac net lower, corn
11sc to 2Ac down, oats Ac to q at
&c off, and provisions varying from
E25 cents decline to rise of 1Oc.
Inasmuch as general trade expecta-
tions was that the new Canadian crop
figures would be curtailed 24,000,000
bushels instead of only 100000
bushels, sellers became numerous, and
buyers we're relatively scarce.
The fresh unofficial estimate was
generally regarded here as virtual
, confirmation of the Canadian govern
ment forecast, the accuracy of which
has been much in question. In the
face of these developments, word Of
unwelcome rains and of probable frost
in Canada failed to rally the market
except for brief transient interval.
December wheat here closed at the
lowest price of the day and also at the
lowest point which that delivery has
touched this season. Temporary rail-
les were more than offset by talk of
an impending big movement of Can
adian wheat down the lakes the next
few months. Besides, arrivals of new
wheat today at Minneapolis and Du-
luth were more than twice as large as
the total year ago. Meanwhile, ex-
port demand for North American
wheat today was only fair, with sales
of but 100000 bushels, in all posi-

Corn values declined chiefly as a
result of fine weather and owing to
Likelihood of seasonable temperatures
ahead. Indications were also for quite
liberal receipts of corn next week.
Oats were firm early but weakened
later with other grain. Expected buy
ing on bullish reports about the Can
adian oats crop turned out to be
chiefly a myth.
For the most part, provisions we're
easier, sympathizing with the action Of

|DORAN SUSPENDS
NEW YORK AGENT
Official in Third Degree Case
to Be Dropped if Charges
Are True.

DIR. J. NJ. Doran. prohibition COM
missioner. yesterday suspended Maj.
August Heise, prohibition agent for
New York City, from the service and
pay, following charges of third-degree
methods on prisoners. His purpose is
to drop Heise for good Monday If
the information as to his conduct Is
confirmed. Coupled with this action
came the announcement that Chester
r. Mills, prohibition administrator for
New York City, haG been transferred
to the position of zone commissioner
and will be succeeded by Maurice
Campbell Of Pelham, N. Y.
In giving out these changes, DR..
Doran said:
"Dr. Campbell has been zone super
visor of the Great Lakes zone and
later of the Eastern zone and is
familiar with the problems of law en-
forcement and administration which
will confront him in New York.
"a. Heise. enforcement assistant,
New York. has been suspended from
duty and pay and, if later investiga-
ton confirms reports now before me,
he will be dismissed from the service"
DR. Doran said that he would not
stand for any such practices as those
by Heise.
Prohibition Bureau and Depart
ment of Justice agents say that they
have no power to prosecute Heise for
giving the third degree, but his vic
tim can prosecute criminally or sue
for damages in the State courts.
G. c. Hinckley, secretary of the
Association Against the Prohibition
Amendment. said he had looked
through his files to see if a similar
case to that of Maj. Heise had been
reported.
"Wanton killings have come to our
knowledge" he said, "but this is the
first case of such cold blooded bru-
tality brought to our knowledge"
Maj. Campbell. the new dry admin
istrator for New York City. has been
in New Jersey recently, helping to
straighten out the situation there.
He was sent up there from here just
before Ira l.. Reeves. prohibition adj
minlstrator. went out. There arose
friction between Campbell and
Reeves. but the Prohibition Bureau
has confidence in the ability of the
former and gave him the New York
assignment after elaboration.
