NEW YORK, June 26 Q.N.S0 q.
The public utility stocks replaced
the industrial as leaders in the
upward movement of prices after
the first hour today and new ad-
vances of l to points were re-
corded in the power, gas light
and telephone stocks. The best
: gains of the week were also
made by the automobile accessory
stocks, in response to the more
favorable reports from the center
Of the motor trade.
Industrials Open Higher
The leading industrialS scored
an overnight gain of l to 3
points on the prospect of gen.
eral acceptance of the Hoover
war debt plan, but the market
cooled down on realization that
considerable negotiating is yet to
be- done before the reparation
moratorium can be whipped into
final shape.
Stock sales at the noon period
totalled 100000 shares, against
2,3O0,O00 in the same period yes
terday, and many of the specula-
tive leaders failed during the
next three hours to improve on
the first prices Of the day.
Consolidated Gas rose to within
an eighth of 100 in a strong
buying wave, and Columbia Gas
sold at 34A, up>21a points each.
Standard Gas, Electric Power,
National Power, North American
and other we'll known utilities
commanded a strong market at

The high yields obtainable in the

However, in the bear market

WHEAT PLANTING
TO DECIDE POLICY
Farm Boards Plans for Sell.
ing 200, 900, 600 Bushels
Depend on Acreage.

BY the Associated Press.
HUTCHINSON, Kans., March 26.-
The amount of wheat planted this year
viii shape to q large extent the Farm
boards policy for disposing Of its
zoo 100000 bushels Of sterilization plir-
chases.
Chairman Stone, speaking today be-
fore q joint meeting Of the Farmers
Cooperative Grain Dealers Association
Of Kansas and the Farmers Co-opera-
tive Commission Co., said:
what wheat growers do ct planting
time this Spring and next Fail will be
an important factor in determining the
sales policy for sterilization stocks"
First Statement on Question.
Great interest has been expressed in
how rapidly and through what channels
the board would sell the cereal bought
to maintain domestic prices. This was
the first word in this connection since
the boards, announcement 1t would not
support the market after May. In that
statement 1t was said the stocks would
be sold so as Ito impose the mini
mum of burden on domestic and world
prices"
Should planting be smaller than
usual, the board Is expected to make
some sales. If the opposite should prove
true, 1t may agree to hold its wheat for
an indefinite period.
Defending resumption Of sterilization
operations last Fall, Stone said 1t had
been found necessary to protect the
market and banks from an expected
precipitate drop TO o price Of about so
cents.
Faced Financial Disaster.
when wheat prices dropped about
the 18th of November to q level close
to 10 cents In Chicago" he said, I'VE
found out definitely that II the market
dropped another cent or two per bushel
there were at least 40 10 so million
bushels Of wheat held by various parties
from the banks which would have been
dumped on an unwilling market at this
level to protect these loans.
"If this had been done, 1t was the
opinion Of some Of the best informed
grain men In the country that Anert-
can wheat prices would have gone con-
sideFably below 30 cents per bushel at
Chicago, which would have meant
financial disaster not only to the farm
ers who stu had their wheat on hand,
but would have meant the closing Of
hundreds Of banks In the Middle West.
Beard Leans sSI7.ese,T 4s.
''The damage this would have done Il
almost tncaleulable. II would have
reached and affected practically every
character Of business.
"It Is too early yet to cast up the ac-
counts in dollars and cents in this whole
matter" he said. we believe, how
ever, that q fair examination Of the re-
suits OF this action, when set against
the damages that were imminent when
the policy was inaugurated, win show
the credit side of the operation in actusl
dollars win be far In excess Of the debit
side, including any losses the Grain
StabiliSation Corporation may sustain"
Stone disclosed that the board has
loaned $217,909,T 4e to 10l co-operatives
associations. OF this $50, ,45e has
been repaid.
