fBv Thomson & McKinnonl

NEW YORK, Oct. 3O.-Can you
find in all your experience in novel
or drama anything more interesting
than what has taken place during
the past few years in the stock
market? Market management, if
such term is permissible is equal
if not superior, to any stage craft
that we have ever witnessed. The
succession of interesting incidents
daily hold the public spellbound. One
can't turn an eye for fear of missing
something. Over a thousand stocks
from which to choose, half dozen
of them leaders in week. 1t will
take months and months to go
through the list and by the time the
folks here are one-tenth of the way
its time to begin again on the first
ones, and 1929 is almost here with
that great railroad market that we
think is coming. We guess we are
fearfully old-fashioned because all
the stocks look so high to us and at
the same time the entire world keeps
on buying. They think everything is
all right. Guess we lose.

TRADERS MAKE

WASHINGTON, Oct. 30.-Swings
in the price of wheat are directly
affected" by the activities of big
grain speculoators on the Chicago
market, the department of agricul-
ture declared today.
1t made public the results of a
study of 1926 trading operations in
the Chicago market, by DR.. ]. w. T.
Duvel. head of the grain futures ad-
ministration and G. Wright Hoff-
man, consulting economist.
Without the heavy concentrated
trading of the spectators, price
changes would be more gradual and
would move more nearly in line with
fundamental market information" it
was said.
Paying particular attention to the
operations of five leading speculat-
ors, the bulletin showed that one of
these men was 100000 bushels
short of wheat on one day and an
other was 100000 bushels short.
Days on which net trades of the
five we're 100000 bushels or more,
numbered twenty-eight during 1926
1t was said. On twenty-four of these
days the market moved in the same
direction as the ret tradc-. On fifty
six days their net trading was 1,000,-
600 bushels or more, and the market
moved in the direction of the net
trades on forty-four of these days
The authors also found that forty
two men during 1926 bought or sold
as much as 100000 bushels in fu-
lures on at least one day.
The movement of prices is "by no
means a coincidence" declared
Durvel and Hoffman" the outstand-
ing fact is established that the
large-scale trading of leading specu-
lators directly relates to price to a
marked degree"

BUYING SENDS
wheat FUTURES
UP A FRACTION
Fasteners Have BuIIisf
Effect on Market;
Corn Steady.
By United Press

By United Press
CHICAGO, Oct. 30.-Large pur-
chases by easternu houses sent
wheat fractionally higher on the
Board of Trade today. Corn showed
strong tone and scored moderate
gains. Oats were steady.
Wheat opened 1s to 4 cent high
er, corn was up 4 to u cent, and
oats were unchanged. Provisions
were slightly lower.
Sentiment in wheat is mixed due
to bullish reports from abroad and
the bearish situation in North
America. Hedging pressure from
the northwest has been heavier re-
Gently, but the movement in that
section is about finished. The
southwest had beneficial rains over
night. A report from Liverpool said
that European supplies were so de-
pleted that buying could not be de-
ferred much longer.
The cash market in corn has
suffered from the increasing receipts
but the futures have held up fairly
well. Arrivals here yesterday in
cluded some new corn that graded
No. 2 yellow. 1t is believed that the
crop will prove to be of exceptional
quality.
Oats continue dull. Fundamentals
in that grain are practically ignored
while the market follows the other

NEW YORK, Oct. 3O.-Espe-
~ cially radiant because she
had put her makeup on in
rather dark Pullman, Miss Texas
Guinan, queen of New York's

the unusual sensation of seeiig her

of smoke.
What a place; why drink Sec

Miss Guinan became conhden-

to California. Say, they'll sue
you out there if you miss a golf

A cabaret out there sued the
$4,000. But she came right back
and sued a California express
company for 100000 after barg-
ing into one of its trucks, or being
barged by one Of its trucks. This
matter is yet to be Strengthened

Of law suits. I've been out among
the clover-kickers so long that I
don't know when I'm being
kidded. But the truck hit me,
see? And it wasn't a milk wagon,
either"
The bubbling Miss Guinan
seemed not at all worried by the
fact that she was due to appear
in federal court because prohi-
bition agents raided her night
club. Neither did she exhibit re-
lief when she learned the pro-
ceedings had been postponed for
a few days.
please don't talk court to this
little sweet pertater," she pleaded
coyly, thoughtfully selecting a
midiron from her bag of golf
sticks and swinging at a reporter
with it. Cant you see I'm
