Wheat Unchanged
In Early Trading

CHICAGO, Sept. "a. (IN.S.)
Wheat was unchanged to Sc
lower in early trading today. Sell.
ing was inspired by O break Of

was only fair here as the general
trade was very nervous.
The Winnipeg market was IA
to Iac lower. Crop news was
rather featureless.
Corn was a to lae off with
selling on favorable weather con-
ditionS over the belt. Shorts gave
the market some support on the
break. Oats ruled A to &c low,

The Raid !

Yesterdays break was well ad
vertised. The street heard in ad
vanee that stocks would be
cracked early in the afternoon
and the raid came off according
to schedule.
r. was interesting to watch the
selling storm blow from stock to
]. stock, Steel, washington Can,
Foreign Power, Vanadium and
others. AS one got a resting
spell another would be singled
OUT The big bears were at 1t
again. I hear, especially Dan
forth who was said to have ham
rnered Steel down.
Odd lot houses are heavily

the amateurs are trying their
luck on the short side again

Steel showed q lot Of fight
when it got down to 100, fluctuat'

day, and 16012 in the last Is
minutes. This would indicate
better buying than the stock has
seen since the break started.

at current rG'ices. 1t should earn
at least SO for the year. Con

industry the company's great

American Tobacco
The American Tobacco issues
have been under noticeable pres
sure for more than a week.
am told this is due to selling by
fixed trusts. Charters Of these
trusts limit the holdings of any
one stock. The tobacco split.np
doubled these holdings, and they
are compelled to sell. One trust
alone had 5000 shares to go. and
the total for all must be consider,
able.
Charter provisions of these
trusts require sale within 80 to
so days, which would mean that
tobacco isn't likely to do anything
on the upside until the middle
of next month. Those close to
the stock believe it will fluctuate
in perhaps a five-point trading
range until the selling is over.
Tobacco B and A, however, are

are willing to be patient. The
company's earnings are still run.

Specifically, Biscuit would
seem to be one of.rthe legion Of
stocks selling far too high on
earnings and dividend yield. Yet
those close to the inside air the
suspicion that the company is
not telling anything like the com.
plete earnings story. They point
out" that BISCUIT last year paid
out 80 per cent of its reported
net in dividends.
Earnings for 1880 were only
1928 per share when reduced to
the Split-up stock, yet this year
Biscuit will pay $3.50 in divi-

management is pretty canny as
