CORN CROP LOOKS
BIG DESPITE LOSS
Sellers Strike Among Grow
ers Appears LikeE" Because
of Low Prices.
BY JOHN P. BOUGHAN,
Associated Press Market Editor

CHICAGO, August 15.-Foramost I'M
oficial authorities say corn looks like
big crop when compared with last
year, despite a loss OF almost 200, 600 900
bushels during July. In territory i'm
medietely adjacent to Chicago, trade
reports are that corn has a splendid
promise. notwithstanding that in parts
Of the West, Southwest and Northwest
the outlook is poor.
Regardless of the outcome of the new
crop. however, corn at present is down
to basis where prices bid on new
No. grades for December shipment
from the country are only 20 to 25
cents a bushel, figures fer below produce
ton costs. Likelihood of a sellers strike
among corn growers is seriously talked
of as a result

Auspicious weather that has prevailed
since August is generally regarded as
more than counterbalancing the effect
of the latest Government report, which
suggested virtually 100000, 900 bushels
corn crop less in July owing TO hot dry
weather. Some advices. though, indi-
cate that drought still persists over
considerable area, and that return Of

Expect Big Year.
While 1t is possible 70 practice
economy in many industries. the food
products business is a notable excep-
ton. AS a rule, depressions affect them
less seriously than other enterprises
To bear out this view, the II. J. Heinz
Co. is expecting the biggest years busi-
ness In history, according to Howard
Heinz, president Of the company. Mr..
Heinz points out that the unit output
has shown steady growth; and that,
with the introduction of new products
IN the Fall, there Is every reason for
optimism about the future.
Similar views are expressed by Ed
ward @. McDougall, president Of Libby,
Mcneil 81 Libby, who reports that the
company had shipped more cases of
canned food during the first seven
months of the current year than in the
same period Of any year in its history.
Would Not Help Cotton.
Americans have often been accused
Of working without plan. To q GER
tain extent, this seems true, even
though it is generally recognized that
even a poor plan is better than none
at all, because what may appear poor
today may be the right plan tomorrow.
The proposal by the Farm Board to
growers to destroy every third row Of
new cotton in return for the holding
of Sterilization Board cotton of the
market is not likely to help the cotton
situation. 1t may afford temporary re-
lief, at best. We do not, therefore,
share the hope of Chairman James c.
Stone of the Farm Board, and are in
clined to accept the view of men like
J. H. Hutton, president of the Houston
Cotton Exchange, and ]. w Evans
former president, who are unqualifiedly
opposed TO the proposal.
Tin Stages Sharp Advance.
In the expectation that further
drastic restriction of output will be
effected by the tin-producing countries
at the next conference, called for
August 81, the prices of the metal
staged rather sharp advance. Heavy
buying is reported to have taken place
in London. where the overnight rise
amounted to so points

CURB CLOSES DAY
At HIGHEST PRICES.
Trading Highly SeIeCtiVe
With Some Realizing at
End of Session.
BY JOHN A. CRoNE.

Special DlSphhCn 10 Inc StdFs
NEW YORK, August l5.-Despite a
slight amount of week end realizing In
the final half hour, today's Curb Elk
change session finished at virtually the
ton levels of the day. Trading was
highly selective.
Electric Bond & Share was up about
q, half point most of the session. while
Cities Service held around its previous
close. In the miscellaneous induStrials
a late rise in Woolworth, Ltd, common
was q feature and In the higher priced
utilities Commonwealth Edison and New
England Telephone came in for quick
ened demand. Standard Oil of Ohio did
not open until well into the second
hour when 1t appeared at 40, up 8, and
subsequently widened that gain. Buck
eye Pipe Line also spurted.
Invitations for bids by the Muscle
Shoals Commission to American Cyana-
mid Co. and Alumtpum Co. of Amer
lea proved offsetting corporate factors
in the market movement of these
shares. Improved earnings were said
to explain the unusual activity of Philip
Morris, Inc.
Standard Oil Of Indiana, worlds larg-
est producer Of gasoline, was the active
leader of the Standard OH group. In

Humble OIL. most important buyer
Of Texas crude, was up about a point
and Vacuum Oil rose more than a
point Standard of Ohio. which Is
merging with Solar Oil Refining, was
inactive, despite unconfirmed rumors
in the oil trade that as soon as this
consolidation is completed Standard of
Ohio will be linked to Standard Of New
Jersey.
It was the pipe lines, however, rather
than the oils, which, in point Of fluc-
tuation, attracted tape-readers' atten-
ton. Eureka Pipe Line opened up 2
at So National Transit started at
slightly higher levels, which also was
true of New York Transit.
The immediate cause Of the recent
furry in pipe line shares was the an
nouncement that Buckeye Pipe has re-
ceived an offer for some Of its prop
critics. The move in pipe lnS shares
was given a further stimulus by a
gain in deliveries Of crude oil by many
Of these carriers and the belief that
some of the unused lines will be
utilized as natural gas carriers.
