HANEY SKEPT|C
ON TREND Of
MARKET
Bulls Disappointed at Their
Inability to Hold Gains and
New Levels Likely, He Says
BY LEWIS HANEY
Director New York Universit'
Bureau of Business Research


Director New York University
Bureau of Business Research
At least two conditions have
been against the market recently.
The technical position had be-
come weak, and the business out
look has become distinctly disap-
pointing.
In the decline of the last few
days we again can see. evidence
of how little it takes to weaken
the market when it is as thin
as is now the case. BY the mid
die of August the pools and other
bull operators had shot their
bolt.
Couldn't Hold EN-
They had run the more active
issues up about five points, and
were able to hold them a little
above the average run of stocks
for about two weeks. But that
was all.
Then they found an almost
complete lack of buying. The
volume of trading fell persistently
from August IA to the very low
level of September /.
Furthermore, it seemed that
more people we're seeking to sell
miscellaneous issues than to buy
the pool favorites. So we find
that a large majority of the
stocks traded in have declined
since August 20.
Brokers' Loans Rise
Finally, we note that in each
Of the last three weeks brokers'
loans have increased. The
amount of credit required to hold
the speculative favorites UP
against the general trend toward
liquidation became larger and
larger. BY August IS brokers
loans were large enough in COM
parison with stock prices to indi-
cate weak technical position.
OF course, the pools and bull
operators started work early in
August with the hope that there
would be enough seasonal recov.
cry in business to support their
manipulative efforts. In this they
have been sadly disappointed.
If there has been any business
recovery at all it has certainly
been for less than usual at this
time Of year.
New Levels Seen
At present it looks like new low
levels between now and December.
Plenty of stocks are low enough,
but plenty are still too high for
investment. I would get out Of
the over valued utilities. Further
weakness in steels and coppers Is
to be expected.
About all you. can say for the
market is that Wall Street is now
so bearish that occasional rallies
on account of oversold conditions
are likely to occur.

WHEAT CROP IN
FLATHEAD VERY SHORT

Kalispell Monitor: Grain harvesting
is now going on in Flathead county and
wheat has been coming in for the past
week. This will be one of the short
est grain crops harvested in Flathead
county for many years, according to
the best information available gathered
from farmers and the grain elevators
in Kalispell. The crop actually harvest
ed will not exceed one-half of last
years production. There are a num-
Der of reasons advanced for this The
acreage devoted to wheat was con-
siderably less this year, the drought
greatly reduced the yield in some parts
of the county and the hail that visited
a fairly large area in June ruined a
number of fields that would otherwise
have yielded good crops, were chiefly
responsible for the pronounced short
age. The low price of grain was also
an important factor With the market
lowering below 50 cents per bushel
many farmers cut their grain for hay
Although there is some grain COM
ing in, many of the farmers will hold
their wheat, or part Of it, in the hope
of securing better price later in the
season.
1t is believed that the sterilization
department of the farm board will dis
pose of the 2O0,O0O,000 bushels of wheat
held by the board within short time
A deal has already been made with
China for 100000 bushels and it is
admitted that China could use to adj
vantage the entire amount if given a
number of years to pay for it. There
are negotiations now under way with
that end in view. If such d deal should
be corsummated, it is felt that wheat
prices would materially advance. The
surplus now held by the government
is viewed as an effective bar to the
price advance, and it is the general
feeling that the disposition Of this sur
plus would be Immediately reflected
in wheat prices all over the United
States.
