CORN PRICES GAIN
IN EARLY TRADING
Market Advances After Higher
0pening-Wheat and Oats
Firmer.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, November Corn prices
displayed strength early today in the
face of unofficial crop reports showing
available supplies 70,000,000 bushels
larger than last season. A leading ex-
pert, however, figured the yield per acre
as cne-half bushel less.
Opening 1s to "a higher, the corn
market afterward scored decided addi-
tional gains. Wheat and oats were also
firmer, wheat starting ls to * up and
then reacting somewhat, but later out
doing initial gains. Provisions went
lower.
According to monthly private crop
reports issued today the average esti-
mate of the corn crop and carryover,
plus the visible supply makes the total
available supply of corn for the 1929
season 2978, 100000 bushels, COM
pared with 2,908 100000 bushels the
previous season. The average of the
unofficial corn crop estimates today
was 2912,000,000 bushels. and of farm
reserves was 64,000,000 bushels, against
an average production estimate of o.
969,000,000 bushels last month.
Corn traders construed today's crop
estimates as bullish, inasmuch as al
though larger than at this time last
season, the probable yield is $1,000 900
bushels under last months figures. In
this connection It was emphasized that
the estimate of yield per acre is ap-
proximately one-half bushel less than
was indicated on October /. circum-
stance attributed to hte fact that ears
are trif1e smaller than expected and
because of severe dry conditions at a
critical time over e wide area west of
the Missouri River

Low COUPON BONDS
DISPLAY STRENGTH.
Speculative Issues Also Re-
vive-Copper Convert
ibIeS in Demand.
BY CHARLES F. SPEARE.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, November 1.--Again to-
day there was surprising display OF
strength in low coupon bonds, in spite
of the fact that money rates began the
month at a high level. At the same
time the speculative issues revived un-
der the influence of a broader and
stronger market for stocks.
There has been a gradual creeping
up in prices for the first mentioned
group, until some of them we're today
at the best figures in six months. Con-
spicuous in this list for strength were
Frisco prior lien Is, which sold at d
parity with the 4 l2s; Baltimore & Ohio
first Is, Northern Pacific first As. Union
Pacific new 4s, up nearly point, and
the Az per cent issues of the Wabash,
Rock Island, New Haven, St. Paul, Fris-
CO, Missouri-Kansas-Te and Buffalo,
Rochester g. Pittsburgh.
The copper convertibles were helped
by the Pennsylvania electrification an
nouncement. This also brought about
a revival of speculation in Public Serv-
ice of New Jersey convertible 4l2s, with
a maximum gain in them of points.
Anaconda Is advanced 3% points and
Andes rs points. Both of the Barns
dali issues were buoyant. The convert
ible 6s advanced points, and the
bonds without warrants, on an even
larger turnover, were up ga points.
Sinclair issues were fractionally higher.
International Paper 6S declined to par
in sympathy with the weakness in the
company's stocks. They sold at one
time this year above los.
Foreign convertible bonds were quiet
but strong.
The Fiat Is gained a point, but the
non-convertible bonds were off still fur
ther and about points under their re-
cent price. In the days financing was
one small issue by one Of the political
divisions of Colombia. Other important
offerings were those of airplane stocks
and investment trusts. The total issues
of bonds in October was approximately
100000, with an even larger volume OF
stocks.
Bond dealers report an excellent de-
mand for all of the new issues and
maintain that they are not able to get
enough in the way of new securities to
satisfy their customers. The Federal
Land Bank Offering of $15,000,000 4A
per cent bonds had practically been COW
cred before the subscription books
opened On account of the high rates
of money, dealers are not, however,
accumulating bonds to any extent, for
while they are bullish on the outlook
they are not willing to stand the present
high carrying charges on the type OF
bonds for which there is now and likely
to be later the best demand.

CURB PRICES RISE
IN HEAVY BUYING
Market Generally Higher as
Traders Pile Up Orders
for FavoriteS.
BY WILLIAM r. HEFFERNAN.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, November If the
election influence was a factor in Specu-
lative calculations today, it had the
effect of bringing in enormous buying
orders in the curb market favoriteS.
Those who had previously been dis
posed to even up accounts over elec-
ton day hurried to get back their COM
mitments, with the result that prices
were bid UP sharply.
Expectations of a decrease in the
brokers' loans statement and belief that
a good-Sized short interest had been
built up as a result of the recent selling
were additional influences making for
higher prices.
Practically every group was repre-
sented in the improvement. Among the
outstanding features which attracted
most attention were st. Regis Paper,
Rainbow Luminous Products, Marmon
Motor. Newmont Mining and United
Gas e. Improvement. The spectacular
advance to a new high in the first
named issue was the most noteworthy
because of the recent pressure eXerted
against the market for related issues
during the past week on the Stock EX-
change. The common conclusion drawn
from the action of the stock was that
it was the result of technical corner.
Awarding of two important patents
to the Rainbow Luminous Co. by the
United States Patent Office was the
incentive back of the demand for that
stock, which carried it from the pre-
vious final of AZ to a new high around
As. United Gas & improvement was
influenced as were many other power
properties by the announcement of the
electrification plans Of the Pennsylvania

was the cry which accompanied demand
for the Standard Oils. Action along this
line was taken today by the Illinois
Pipe Line directors. 1t took the form
of a declaration of a Semi-annual
dividend of $1O thereby placing the
stock on an annual $40 dividend basis,
against Sl2 previously paid.
The market for Illinois Pipe Line
swept forward for a gain of almost 20
points when it changed hands at prac
ticaliy its highest around 245. Standard

taking for time, but rallied later. In

Newmont Mining featured it's group
and at one time was up over points,
discounting the price appreciation in the
market for securities held in the COM
pany's treasury.
