In the Stocks Market
fBv Thomson & McKinnon)

NEW YORK, Nov. 27.-From the
standpoint of the security markets
as we'll as the outlook for business,
pessimism was undoubtedly most
prevalent during the week when
stock prices we're making their eX-
IRENE lows, yet the latest railroad
carloading report covering this
period shows a falling off of only
slightly more than per cent. Cur
tailment in the steel industry, too,
has been very slight and largely
the result of seasonal contraction.
Considering all conditions we feel
that we have witnessed discount
ing process which according to past
experience has been overdone. In
previous panicky periods corpora
ton executives have pursued a pol
icy directly opposite to that which
is now being followed, namely con-
servation of cash resources, where
as now we find 2 more liberal divi-
dend policy being inaUgurated by
many companies. Although the &C
ton Of the market is at times dis
couraging, we must bear in mind
that following such sharp recov-
cry as We have had since the culmi-
nation of the decline technical con-
ditions within the market, rather
than business fundamentals are
likely to be the immediate deter
mining factor. We still adhere to the
opinion that splendid investment
opportunities are offered by these
reactionary periods.

Nine BILLIONS
TO Be SPENT,
SURVEY SHOWS
Building and Improvement
Figures Are Compiled
From Statements.
BY RICHARD L. GRIDLEY
United Press Financial Editor


NEW YORK, Nov. 27.-New con-
Struction and improvement pro-
grams in the United States during
the coming year will aggregate more
than $9,000,000,000, divided among
industrial, public utility, railroad and
state and municipal programs, ac-
cording to a survey by the United
Press.
These figures were compiled from
statements of Governors, industrial
leaders and railroad executives, fol-
lowing President Hoover's series of
business and economic conferences
at the White House. AS a result the
nation is facing the greatest build
ing program in its history in 1890.
Next years construction program
is estimated as follows: Industrial
corporations, $500, 100000; public
utility, $4,000. 100000; state and mu-
nicipal, 1921 100000; railroad, ST.
250,000,000, and federal government,
S750,000,000. Total $9,421 100000.
In addition to the programs al
ready announced, a number of in
completed projects might be under
taken within the coming year,
which would swell the construction
total to more than $4,000, 100000.
American Telephone and Tele-
graph is listed as the largest spend
er, the company stating that the
Bell system would authorize a total
of $700,000,000 for construction
throughout the country. The state
of New York is estimated to spend
$3.50 900 ono. the Pennsylvania rail-
road S2o0,0O0,0o0, and the federal
government not far under $1,000
100000. The state of Illinois will
spend $114000,000.

AIR BANDITS FLEE
Leave Stolen Plane at Airport for

Leave Stolen Plane at Airport for
Service; Then Disappear.
BIZ United Press
MUSKOGEE, Okla, Nov. 27-Two
air bandits, first of their breed, who
landed with a stolen airplane at
Hatbox field here, were one jump
ahead of requests that they be held
which police in Kansas City had
sent to airports within radius of
500 miles.
They had gagged and bound an
airport attendant at Kansas City at
daybreak Tuesday after tricking him
into servicing the plane for a 500
mile flight.
Shortly before dark their motor
hummed over the field here and the
plane leveled down neatly before a
hangar.
Fill her up" they shouted. "We're
off to a hotel for sleep and will be
back in the morning"
The pair, one red-headed and
freckled and each about 25, had
scarcely left the field when the at
tendant was notified that they we're
wanted for stealing the airplane. He
identified the craft by its license
number and its yellow and maroon
trimming.
Police searched the town, but
found no trace of the men.

BULL DURANT
HOLDS HIS OWN
IN STOCK MART
Twice Ruined in Market, thu
Motor Man Now Is
Street Fetish.
BIZ Times Special

BIZ Times Special
NEW YORK, Nov. 27.-What hap
pened to the greatest bull oil then
all in the bear market, Wall Stree
has been asking itself? What die
William Grape Durant, twice head
OF General Motors and master stocE
manipulation, do?
According to John K. Winkler. IA
nous for his Portrait in Oils OF
John D. Rockefeller, who contributes
a sketch of 'Durant-Bull" to the
current issue of Popular Biography
probably he came through with few
losses. Mr.. Winkler describes him
as the gray fox of finance and the
eel of the water world. He says:
"Durant weaves and trims and
lodges, never risking the greater
portion of his roll on a single Stroke.'
He has a passion and genius Tor
stock speculation. A cold, humor-.
less little machine of a man, with.
keen features whose edge has not
been turned and piercing eyes lm-I
dimmed by the passage of the years.
Out of Proportion
1.-The large. grazing head seems
absurdly out of proportion with the
slight, dapper frame. He weighs 118
pounds. His Office is high up in the
Fisk building, at Broadway and
Fifty-Seventh street, a pebble toss
from the General Motors building.
Behind the ticker in Durants
Office, is a stand of telephones, con-
nected by private wire with twenty
or more downtown brokerage houses.
When the market is bubbling Du-
rant buys and sells shares by the
tens of thousands. Only he and
one or two close associates know all
the trends and slants of his specu-
lationS.
"Since he went into the market on
a huge scale in 1921 Durant has
become a Wall Street fetish, though
he is personally unknown in the
Street. Often stocks move in great
bursts on the mere rumor that Du-
rant is trading in them. The little
man in the Fisk building grins a
toad-like grin and reapS full adj
vantage Of his prestige.
Backed to Wall
wall street places Durant'S win
nings of the last seven years high II
eight figures. Only Durant knows
the exact amount. Unlike the
Goulds and the Harrimans, the
Gateses and the brakes of the past.
Durant is an adroit profit-taker.
Twice ruined by over-optimism and
thirst for quick expansion, he has
grown cagy. He is a plunger in no
sense of the term.
For example, he has gambled in
General Motors stock a dozen times
in and out, since his unprecedente@
financial collapse late in 1920, VIII
the du Points and j. P. Morgan
Co. backed him to the wall 4
forced him out of his great mo
combination"
The writer in Popular Biography"
believes that Durant hopes some
day to seize again the reins of Cen
eral Motors. He has solidified his
financial position by formation of
an investment trust and national
bank-the Libel (which has
grown encouragingly.
To come back in the motor world,
he realizes he must have huge funds
at his disposal. So he has taken in
a group of former Dodge Brothers
executives to manage Durant Motors
Inc, the while he himself carries on
his stock manipulatiOnS.

SHORTS SEND
GRAIN FUTURES
TRIFLE HIGHER
Spreading Operations Have
Influence on World
Wheat Market.
BIZ United Press
~--~

Bu United Press
CHICAGO, Nov. q. - Wheat
prices opened unevenly on the
Board of Trade here today. Liqui-
dalton in December held that
month down, but the strong tone at
Liverpool caused the deferred deliv-
cries to rise. Short covering gave
Liverpool strength at the opening
and near midday prices were up 1 Il
to IL cents. BuenoS Aires opened
fractionally higher and at mid
session was II cent higher. Argen-
tine news dominates the market.
Corn and oats advanced with wheat
futures.
At the opening, wheat was *
cent lower to q cent higher, corn
was g to rs cents higher, and oats
was 1s off to 4 cent higher. Pro-
visions opened steady.
Spreading operations are having
considerable influence on the world
wheat market, but the difference in
the May delivery at Liverpool and
at Chicago amounts to less than
8 cents. Bullish crop news and a
strong, domestic cash market did
not bring much buying support be-
cause of Europe's failure to import
in quantity.
The movement of corn is still
not as large as it is to be expected.
The storage situation has improved
somewhat with the movement of
wheat to the east and to domestic
millerS.
Trade in oats is running light and
long supplies continue to appear
on the bulge. There is some buy
ing on resting orders which counter
acts this.
