WHEAT is HIGHER
ON INITIAL TRADING
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, November 19.-UneX-
pected firmness of Liverpool wheat
quotations, together with rain reports
from Argentina, tended to lift wheat
prices here today at the start. Offerings
increased on the advances here, however,
and reaction ensued. Opening un-
changed to IA up, Chicago wheat after
ward showed something of setback
all around. A forecast of fair weather
helped to ease corn, which opened un-
changed to u higher and subsequently
reacted. Oats were steady. Provisions
advanced.
Decreasing stocks of wheat at Liver
pool, as we'll as advices of unfavorable
harvest weather in Argentina, received
first attention of Chicago wheat traders
today, but the bullish effect of such
advices failed to hold we'll in the face
Of enlarged selling here. It was pointed
out in this connection that world ship
ments of wheat continue heavy and
have approached nearly to record
figures.
Corn belt weather reports dominated
the corn market much of the time to-
day, especially an official prediction of
clear skies ahead. Earlier, the chief
influence was prevailing moist condition
unfavorable for the progress of husking
and hauling. Meanwhile, arrivals Of
corn in Chicago today were liberal, 329
cars, against 88 cars year ago.

BOONE'S MISSOURI

INDUSTRIAL ISSUES
LEAD INVESTMENTS
Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW VOPK N0Ver1her 1Q-7

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, November 19.-The at
tention of the financial community in
Wall street was still focused today on
the unprecedented volume of business
transacted last week in the speculative
industrial favorites. The stock market
went ahead under the momentum gath
cred early in the week. All this was
brought about without any specific
change in outside business conditions,
which could possibly be ascribed as a
basis for the frenzy which has gripped
the speculative public.
Prolonged bull markets in the past
have almost invariably eliminated with
the taking up of the copper stocks. But
in the present case it has been the
coppers that have been among the out
standing leaders. They are faced with
the prospect of considerably higher
prices for the metal before the first of
the year, which naturally will have its
reflection in increased earnings per
share during the final quarter opera
tions. The question uppermost in the
minds of the more conservative ele-
nent. however, is how far the market
for copper stocks has already gone in
discounting improvement, present and
prospective.
The week end reports from the steel
trade were not as optimistic as they had
been throughout the greater part of
October. The slight contraction in pro-
duction at the steel centers was nothing
more than seasonal and is not consid-
cred significant, especially when con-
sideration is given the remarkable ac-
tivity throughout the previous month.
Wall Street was much interested in
the report of the formation of one of the
largest investment trust organizations
in the world While negotiations have
not been fully consummated, it is esti-
mated that the deal will involve upward
of $500 100000 in security holdings of a
number of the foremost operators in the
campaign for high prices during the
past two years. The names of Fisher
Bros. and Arthur Cutten are mentioned
as the leading interests in the transac-
ton.

AVIATION is THIRD
HOBBY OF CLOTHIER
Other Two Made to Pay, He Ac-
quires Airplane Sales
Agency.

KANSAS CITY CP).-Having turned
two hobbies to profit, Herbert M. Woolf
has new one-aviation-and he in
tends to put it on a dividend basis.
Vocationally, Woolf is a mems clo-
thier. Years ago he became horse
man, so he could enjoy outdoor recrea-
ton. This hobby led to the establish
ment of 360-acre farm near Kansas
City, where he raises fancy horses.
Every year the Woolf farm sells 100 to
125 horses at prices ranging from $4,000
to $4,000.
Woolf then made hobby of the the
ater. Eventually, he invested in show
house, and this interest has grown into
a chain of So theaters.
After taking up aviation for the sport
of it, Woolf now hopes TO make this
new hobby source of pay as well as a
means of play. He has recently ac-
ouired the sales agency for an airplane
manufactured in Detroit.

cotton market opened steady at an ad-
vance of points to a decline of 4
points, with the Eregularity attributed
to further near-month evening up,

Reports of unfavorable weather in the

prices eased off few points right after
the opening under Southern selling and

trade buying, however, and the market
held fairly Steady during the first half
