AUTOMOBILE TRADE
OUTLOOK BRIGHTER
Stocks in Dealers Hands
Reported Lowest in
Many Years.
BY CHAS. p. SHAEFFER.

Associated Press Business Writer.
The immediate future for the auto
mobile industry is expected by the trade
to be distinctly brighter
Stocks of automobiles on dealers
hands are said to be the lowest in many
years, due to strict adherence of the
industry to manufacturing only enough
cars to meet actual demands. Replace
ment demand, it is said. after two years
of reduced buying, viii, in itself, call
for a great number of cars.
Trade and industry are expected to
be benefited more than ordinarily dur
ing the next few months when the mo-
tor industry makes its effort to close
the existing gap between dealers and
consumers through the medium of in
creased production.
Altogether though, latest estimates
by trade bodies and Government agen-
cies indicate this years production of
automobiles will not exceed 2,500,0 900
units, the smallest Of any year since
1921.
Octobers output has not yet been
officially announced, but is understood
to show the effects of the curtailment
that took place within the industry, due
to pared schedules and the preparation
being put on next years models.
The trade expects the month Of No
vember to show an expansion In produc-
ton efforts, in order to meet demands
for the annual automobile shows in
January Dealers will be supplied with
the latest types, and production for this
purpose is expected to maintain output
at a high level for several weeks.

STOCK PRICES SAG
IN LIGHT TRADING
UnfavorabIe Business Re
ports Result in Selling of
Pivotal Issues.
BY GEORGE T. HUGHES.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, November 25.-Once
more the stock market reversed itself
today. canceling all Of Tuesdays gains
and extending the main decline for
many issues into new low territory.
The outside news was most unfavor-
able Car loadinGs for the week ending
November "a were down 26,663 cars
from the week before, greater than
seasonal decline. October earnings
statements. coming to hand made the
usual poor comparison with those Of a
year ago Although the income &C
counts in 1880 at this time were rap
idly decreasing, the percentage Of de-
crease month by month shows little i'm
provement.
Steel Operations.
Steel operations were back where they
were two weeks ago, namely, at 20 per
cent of capacity, and there was no COM
fort to be had from that source. The
commodity markets started In lower
with stocks, and that had a depressing
influence.
AS usual, the rails led the downward
movement. Pennsylvania at $25 a
share was selling at the lowest since
1877. New lows for the bear market
were made by most of the active issues,
including Atchison, Union Pacific Balti-
more & Ohio and New York Central.
These new lows come with such mo-
notonous regularity that it is hardly
necessary to catalogue them.
Pressure was directed against the
public utilities, especially the commu-
nications shares. International Tele-
phone made new low and American
Telephone had yielded points by
noon. u. 8. Steel was the most con-
spicuously weak industrial, also in new
low ground. Substantial losses were
recorded by Allied Chemical, American
Can, Eastman Kodak and j. I. Case.
Westinghouse Electric made q new
low early in the day. The report that
the directors were to meet for dividend
action today, however, was an error.
The meeting will not be. held, until
sometime next month. American Loco
motive omitted the common dividend
due at this time, but that had been ex-
pected. Directors of the Superheater
Corporation put its common stock on a
81 annual basis against $3.50 previously
paid.
Trading Quiet.
Although q very weak-looking affair,
the market was quiet and orderly, and
operations were almost exclusively for
professional account. The declines were
the result rather Of lack of buying in
terest than Of any great increase in Of
feringS. Call money was in abundant
supply at az per cent, with little de-
mand.

CHILE ILLUSTRATES
CORNER IN WHEAT
Officials Believe Efforts to Force
Prices Upward Are Effectually
Blocked by Action.
BY the Associated Press.


SANTIAGO, Chile, November u.s.
Efforts to prevent corner in wheat in
Chile have been fairly successful, gov
eminent officials believe but a thor
ough census of the quantity of native
wheat on hand has been ordered
Reports of a corner began shortly
after wheat prices in Chicago picked up.
No foreign wheat can get into Chile
except by paying prohibitfve duty and
the home crop is supplying domestic
needs, so the government sees no reason
why speculation should increase Chilean
prices, no matter what happens to
wheat abroad
Several new stipulations have been
issued to regulate the price of wheat
and other cereals, and strict orders have
been issued that there must be no prof.
iteering. Prices here run higher as a
rule than in other markets of the
world, fluctuating from "a pesos (about
s4.08) for 100 kilos up to 81 pesos
(about $4.44. A heavy export bounty
is paid to shippers.
Predictions Of the size of the. next
seasons crop are conflicting, but it is
believed there will be but small por-
ton for export

Brokers' Comment

NEW YORK, November 25.-The
stock markets recovery yesterday was
technical in character, brokerage house
commentators pointed out today. Little
change in current market trends was
expected pending removal Of numerous
uncertainties.
Shields & Co.-Further pre-holiday
short covering may extend the rally
little, but in the absence of any impor-
tant bullish feature not much further
advance is to be expected. AS hurries
of this kind terminate without warning
there is no reason for abandoning trad
ing policy we have advised.
Hornblower g. Weeks-There was
nothing to indicate that the moderate
rallying tendencies which developed yes
terday afternoon proceeded from any,
thing other than technical considera-
tons.
Jackson Bros, BoeseI & Cocoon
centrated short covering Is not apt to
appear unless general fears OF railroad
insolvency are dissipated. Wall Street is
anxiously awaiting the formation of a
Federal credit pool to alleviate the
pressing railroad situation.
Thomson & McKinnon-Further i'm
provement in cotton, wheat and silver
would have cheering effect upon senti
ment and could contribute to some fur
ther rally.
Baar, Cohen g. Co.-An spectacular
rallies in the past have been followed
by disheartening declines. We never yet
have turned from a bear market into a
bull market in such manner as to
make it apparent to every one that the
transformation was taking place, and
in the past we never knew that the bear
market was over and bull market be-
ginning until after stocks were well on
their upswing, SO that any slow turning
movement should be viewed with greater
confidence than spectacular rallies.
Paine, Weber & Co-Yesterday
small upturn, principally in industrial
shares, and the accompanying small
volume of turnover and action Of rail-
road stocks. is not interpreted as mark
ing the end OF the recent declining
phase of the market. Liquidation in
volume has not yet made its appear
ance. nor have the rail shares given
signs of a reversal Of trend. Under cir
cumstances, as we view them, the main
trend is still downward.
Frazier, Jelke & Cot now appears
that the principal hope for early i'm
provement in prices must originate in
the technical position of the list and IN
the possibility of better tone in COM
modify prices.
Redmond & Co.-Until some of the
current uncertainties are cleared up, we
believe the best that can be hoped for
is q quiet trading market, but we have
not changed our opinion that many in
dividual issues have not yet seen their
low prices.

HAVANA, July 6.-Rumors OF forth
coming armed uprising against Presi-
dent Machado led the government to-
day to make extensive preparations to
maintain peace and security.
Five hundred trusted police reserves
were quartered at focal points in the
business section of the city and the
ordinary patrols were doubled. Machine
gun squads were engaging in maneuvers
to At themselves for shock troops in
case Of trouble.
A score or more of student and rad

Chief OF National Police Cabrera said
he had learned that opposition chiefs
were buying up available supplies of
blue shirts and trousers which would
be worn by revolutionaries to confuse
the police during an attack. He ordered
his men to fire on sight at any group
so attired.
Many government leaders were
said to have sent their families to the

FARM BOARD PLANS

BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Chairman Stone Of the Farm Board
today informed Vice President Curtis
and Senator Capper, Republican, Kan
sas, that the board would not make any
further changes in its sales policy for
sterilization wheat.
After comforting with Stone for near
ly two hours, Curtis said that Stone
had made it clear that the sale of
wheat would be conducted in such a
way as not to depress prices.
May Hold 200, OOO, 900 Bushels.
Curtis said the board evidently did
not propose TO unload any of the more
the market at the present range of
prices.
He added he would have preferred a
DEFINITE pledge to hold the wheat until
the price had reached IS cents or 81.
put that the July l announcement
made by the board was the best that
couio be obtained at present.
NO plans have been made by Curtis
and Capper to see President Hoover to-
Gay, put senator Capper indicated they
might confer with him later on.
Curtis said it was the unanimous
sentiment of Kansas wheat farmers
that sales be withheld until an 85-cent
price had been reached.
Grain Trade Blamed.
Chairman Stone last week charged
that the grain trade was responsible
for the widespread demand which was
brought to bear on the President and
the board for definite statement of
policy.
Curtis Said the grain traders did not
inspire their demands through himself
and Senator Capper. but that they were
speaking solely in behalf of wheat farm
ers.
Capper said the farmers were receiv-
ing from 80 to IS cents a bushel for
their wheat on the farms, price far
below cost OF production
The board. at the request of Presi-
dent Hoover, announced that it would
sell cumulative total Of 5000 600
bushels monthly. exclusive Of sales to
foreign governments now under con-
slderation. 1t added it did not intend to
authorize sales at the present range Of
prices or in such a way as to depress
them.
