WHEAT MARKET
TREND HIGHER
Unsettled Argentine Weather
Sends Prices Up; Corn Be-
comes Easy

Chicago, Nov. 22.-(AP)-Asser-
tions that the wheat crop in south
crn Argentina has suffered damage
from hot winds led to brisk up
turn in the wheat market today.
However, the reports were disputed,
increased selling especially by the
northwest took place on the bulge,
and gains called to hold we'll. Con-
siderable selling of corn against
buying of wheat developed, and
there were reports that ownership
of between 100000 and 100000
bu. of corn taken Of late for deferred
shipment to Europe had been trans
ferred back in the last 48 hours to
the former holders.
Wheat closed unsettled at the
same as yesterdays finish to 3-8c
lower, dec. 116 SIS to 3-4, March
121 Ia to 3-S, May 1873 7-8 to 124) !.
Corn 1-2c to 7-8c off (Dec. sc 3-4
to 3-4 to 7-8, March 8S 1-2 to SIS,
May 81 Ia to 3-8 to 3-S).
Oats closed unchanged (Dec. 46
3-4, March ~, May AZ 3-4) and
provisions unchanged to tic down.
Upturns today in wheat quotations
here took place Notwithstanding that
the Liverpool market was lower than
due and despite the fact tina. some
authorities were circulating en-
larged estimates Of the Australian
wheat yield. On the other hand. in
addition to reports Of adverse wealth.
er for the Argentine harvest. advices
were current that wheat consump-
tion in Europe is heavy and that
wheat stocks there are not accumu-
lating. Besides, some messages to-
day from Argentina said crops in
the south were being damaged by
hit winds.
Commission houses were quite
general sellers of corn today at
times. Aside from clearing weather
in the corn belt talk was heard that
in some cases Europeans had can
celed recent purchases Of corn. As
against .uch factors, friends of
higher prices pointed out that ship
ments Of feeder cattle into the corn
belt this season show an increase Of
Il per cent, and that farm feeding
OF the 1928 corn crop began 80 days
or more, earlier than usual.
Corn was ..nder pressure early,
and declined only to rally later.
Profit-taking and selling on resting
orders checked the bulge.
Oats were firm, with March and
May selling at a new high on the
crop.
Provisions reflected decline in
the values Of hogs.

FINANCIAL
NEWS
STOCK MARKET
VIOLENT AGAIN
Speculation for Advance Re.
sumed After Sharp Break
Yesterday

new 10rk, Nov. ZZ.-(A)-Specu
lation for the advance was resumed
in a violent manner in today's stock
market, after yesterdays sharp set
back. Powerful pools brought for
ward at least q dozen high-pficed
specialties and whirled them upward
5 to nearly 35 points, presumably at
the expense of an overcrowded short
interest. With the exception of the
motors, which were again under
pressure, the general list joined the
upswing.
Although there was still a wide
spread divergence of opinion as to
whether yesterdays reaction had
sufficiently corrected the weakened
technical position of the market.
there was no question but that the
market had developed an enormous
reserve of buying power. There was
a marked scarcity in the floating
supply of high grade issues. tending
to confirm the belief that investors
were not yet ready to sell and that
large blocks Of these securities had
been taken out of the market by in
vestment trusts.
Fears of an increase in the Bank
Of England rediscount rate, which
might result in , withdrawal of for
eign balances from New York,
proved to be unfounded. Call money
renewed unchanged at 6N per cent,
but time money was firmer as a re-
suit of approaching holiday demands.
Widespread curiosity developed as
to what the weekly brokers' loan fig
ures would show.
Ordinarily, an advance such as
that of the past week would bring
about huge increase, but the rel
atively insignificant gain last week
made guessing a futile pastime.
Many bankers are of the opinion
that loans are being arranged
through private. corporate and for
eiCn sources which do not appear in
the federal reserve totals.
Wright Aeronautical furnished the
main pyrotechnics Of today's session,
soaring 34A points to a new high
record at 255A. Midland Steel Prod
ucts preferred ran up 27h points,

The brisk demand for the Coppers
was inspired by the raising Of the
annual dividend on Greene Cananea
from 81 to $6 and the resumption
of payments at the rate Of So an
nually on Inspiration, which paid
its last dividend, Of Is cents, in the
spring Of 1927.

M'NARY URGES
QUICK RELIEF
BILL PASSAGE
Congress Must Pass Farm
Measure at Regular Session
to Do Good

Washington, Nov. 22.-(P-Dec-
laration that farm relief legislation
should be passed at the coming reg
ular session of congress rather than
be held up for special session was
made today by Senator McNary, of
Oregon, before the National Grange.
"1f this thing is delayed until
spring any legislation that congress
passes will not go into effect until
1929 and that is too late," he said.
"Of course, for political reasons,
congress does net get around to it
this term, then it must be dealt with
at an extra session called for the
purpose"
Declaring that he was for any
measure that would bring relief to
agriculture, Senator McNary said he
would continue support of the equal
ization fec until it was proved that
it could not be passed. Then, he
said, he believed consideration of
the Oranges export debenture plan
would be advisable.
The report of the committee on
transportation was before the dele
gates today.
"The entire freight rate structure
must be investigated" the report
said in dealing with railroads, "with
the idea of revising it to reflect alb
solutc fairness to agriculture before
any increases in freight rates on the
products of agriculture be granted.
Agriculture is not m position at
the present time to stand any in
crease in freight costs.
"The National Grange welcomes
the establishment of truck and bus
transportation upon our highways,
but we maintain that motor trans
portation is not matter of federal
regulation but rather should remain
under the jurisdiction of our state
regulatory bodies and that prefer
cnce should be shown to motor
trucks handling highly perishable
agricultural products such as milk
and cream"
The report affirmed the Oranges
former stand on the opening and
maintenance of navigablc streams,
the development and Improvement
of the merchant marine and the ex-
pansion of air transportation.

Greater North Dakota
Membership owing
as 5000 Is Collected

While no reports are available to-
day on the amount collected here in
the Greater North Dakota associa-
tion membership drive, indications
are the drive will reach it's quota of
$1,000 in .Mandan early tonight, ac-
cording to officials of the drive.
Between $500 and 81, 900 was COL
lected in Mandan yesterday and this
forenoon and members of the COM
mittees working on the campaign
were still tC visit some of the larr-
er houses in the city.
The drive has progressed satisfac-
torily in Bismarck. according to j. p.
Wagner. who is handling the drive
in this city in cooperation with other
members of the association.
Many of the local business men
are not in ths city. he said, and
subscriptions have been delayed
from many of the houses. Indica-
tions are the drive here may not be
completed until the end Of the week
due to that reason, Wagner said.

years Of heavy production in certain
areas, effective rules might be cs
tablishcd by cooperation between the
growers, the trade and the govern
ment by which all types of Gull po-
tatoes would be left on the farm and
the rules for u. S. No. might be
strengthened to include only the
especially select potatoes and thus
culling out enough potatoes so as
not to over supply the market.
Smaller Wheat Acreage
"Thc wheat situation is quite df
ferent due to wheat being Il nom
pcrishablc product. One solution
would be to develop among the pro-
duccrs, in cooperation with the grain
trade and the government, policy
pointing toward acreage reduction,
so that farmers of the United States
would not have to dump periodic
surpluscs on the world market for
two rcasons-first, because by doing
that we not only arc compelled to
accept the world market as il basis
for our entire crop. but we constant
ly tend to dcpress the world market,
thus pcnalizing not only ourselves
but the growers in all countries. If
we could avoid this dumping Of pc
riodic surpluses our own producers
would then be in position to take
fuller advantage of the tariff which
has long since been established aS
q national policy and is now ap-
proved by both political parties Of
this nation.
wheat acreage is being reduced
through the fact that dairying. sheep
raising and beef cattle production
are on Il domestic basis and arc being
increased, requiring land formerly
in wheat for pasture and feed crops.
This process, could be greatly speed
ed up by a federal farm board which
could aid in the development Of other
substitute crops, including flax, etc.
IF this does not work out, then
two other methods Of attack are
available. One is the more economic
production of wheat on our Amer
ican farms and if this cannot be done
then some system of bonus to Amer
lean Farmers would have to be
adopted or the least efficient in
many districts must either abandon
wheat or sink to lower level Of
living than other groups in the
nation"
