OUTLOOK IN WHEAT
MARKET UNCERTAIN
Decrease in Acreage of
Winter Producing Section
Proves BuIIish Factor.
BY FRANK /. WELLER,
Associated Press Farm Editor.

A decrease of 100000 acres in do
mestic Winter wheat-producing areas,
with relatively unfavorable conditions
in Western sections, as opposed to an
increase Of around 100000 acres for
European countries, are the outstanding
features in new crop development.
The unsettled political situation in
the Orient and threatened damage from
lower temperatures to the unprotected
and growing domestic Winter wheat
crop influenced a rather sharp advance
in wheat futures during the close Of
the week.
Bullish trends found some counter,
however in the large European feed
1ngS, coupled with the more favorable
conditions existing in other countries.
France, Germany and Italy. all impor-
tant deficit countries, have increased
acreages, with conditions favorable,
Conditions in Spain are good so far, al
though recent weather has been change
able
Current Demand Moderate.
Some sources also minimize the in
fuence of war clouds in the Far East.
Although politically uncertain condi-
tlonS in the Sino-JapaneSe situation
tended to strengthen the general wheat
market current demand continued OF
only moderate volume, with European
requirements supplied chiefly from
Southern Hemisphere offerings Some
what more than half of the Is, 900 600
bushels comprising the world shipments
during last week was Of Australian and
Argentine origin.
Following futures. cash markets
strengthened but demand was not
compelling and the advance for the
week end was not sufficient to offset
earlier decline at some points.
Some trade opinion. watching foreign
markets, saw the possibility of an over
sold condition and further rally.
An important influence at work is q
feeling among many operators that
wheat prices are so low there is little
to be gained in forcing sales and lower
prices, All told, the market is largely
one in which the inclination is to wait
for developments. There is some opin-
ion that the market will sag unless &C
tive support appears soon. This IS
based upon European weakness, with
the Argentine pressing wheat at prices
substantially lower than in other coun-
tries.
From Ottawa comes an optimistic
outlook for the last half of the cereal
year, ending July 81 next The Do
minion Bureau of Statistics predicts it
will be period of radically diminish
ing stock of wheat.
Import Requirements.
Import requirements. the bureau
points out, must be filled from existing
stock in exporting countries The bu-
reau reviewed the general financial and
economic situation, the possibility Of
reduced import restriction in Europe
and available supplies in the Southern
Hemisphere.
While economic stress is retarding
factor, the bureau added, trade in
wheat will not be unduly affected.
Wheat trade technique has been able,
it is said, to adapt itself reasonably we'll

Brokers' Comment

NEW YORK, February 2-Brokerage
house market commentators viewed
the rally with mixed sentiments. 1t
was generally felt that prices might
settle back into a trading range. per-
haps after some further recovery had
been accomplished
Shields & Co.-There is little news
of importance scheduled for the imme-
diate future so that with the exception
of annual reports that will influence
individual stocks the market promises
to remain very narrow, difficult trad
ing affair. There is constant danger
of unexpected news from abroad, how
ever, that necessitates the utmost eau
ton in following rallies.
Redmond & Co.-The rally in stocks
appears to have gained sufficient mo-
mentum and therefore would not be in
clined to follow it too far. We have
not changed our opinion that new lows
are in prospect for many individual
stocks
Hornblower & Weeks-For the pres
ent we would assume that yesterdays
advance represented nothing more
than a technical rally aided by short
covering, and accordingly take advan
tage of a further extension of the ad
vance, which we expect should occur
today, to dispose of trading lines. There
should he annie opnortll0itV to re-enter
the market again after first noting the
character of resistance encountered
during the next selling movement.
Jackson Bros. Boesel & Cove per-
sist in the view that the formation of
the Reconstruction Finance Corpora
ton definitely ended the 19291932
panic. 1t seems to us that this view
is gaining ground and that general
gain in public confidence will come as
logical sequence of recent events. Ii
the view we're generally held that the
depression had spent its full force, then
we could logically expect boarded
money to come out of hiding and seek
investment in profitable channels. The
security and commodity markets would
naturally be the first to portray the
change in public confidence. We do not
countenance the view that yesterdays
sharp rallies were inspired by snort
covering On the contrary, we think
it is altogether likely that the short
interest was increased moderately.
Thomson & McKinnon-The calm
sentiment which the market rejected
yesterday, together with the respon-
siveness of stocks to encouraging de-
velopments, is impressive.
Evening star., 1932-02-02

Electric poWer-In survey forecast
ing reduced earnings in 1882 for the
electric light and power companies, the
Standard Statistics Co. points out that
the downward trend of electric power
production has become more pro-
nounced during recent weeks Output
for the fortnight ended January %
totaled 3,20O.683 900 kilowatt hours, a
decline of ST per cent as compared
with the corresponding period of 1880.
Railroad Manufactures
are represented as hopeful of a meas
urable improvement in railroad buy
ing as a result of the railway wage re-
duction agreement. They are, how
ever. conservative in their expectations.
because it is felt that the carriers will
not place equipment orders on large
scale until the traffic movement begins
to show signs of improvement.
Petroleum-Advices from Austin,
Tex, say that operators in the East
Texas field have petitioned the Cover
nor to reduce the allowable output 10
IS barrels per we'll daily from 100 bar
rels. The reduction is sought to better
balance output with purchases.
Wool-Wool Associates of the New

NEW FORD EIGHT TO MAKE IT'S
DEBUT TO NATION THURSDAY

DETROIT, March 30. Especial
The new Ford va will be shown
to the public of 200 cities in the
United States and Canada Thurs
day, March 81.
Announcement of the date, made
today by Edsel 3. Ford, president
of the Ford Motor company
brought to elimination months of
preparation on the part of the Ford
organization, which is giving en-
ployment to 100000 Ford Workmen.
Ford manufacturing and assembly
plants are supplied by $500 other
manufacturing plants throughout
the country.
One of the chief factors in the
Ford announcement is the conf
dence shown by Henry and Edsel
Ford, that a measure of business
revival is possible to the country
at this time.
I'VE know exactly what the car
will do" Ford said. "One of our
Cbjectives has been to develop an
eight cylinder engine with plenty
of horsepower and yet so simply
designed that its simplicity will be
as much q feature as its speed
and power. That enables us to
build and sell it at a price to fit
the average present American poe
textbook. I'll say candidly we have
quit figuring costs on the car. The
more you figure costs the higher
the price goes, and this is no time
for high prices. Time and money
have not entered into our calcula-
tions. We have believed it our
duty to do everything necessary to
start employment again. Now we
are ready to go ahead Next
Thursday the country may judge
our work.
I'm addition to our eight cylin-
der car OF 65 horsepower, we are
offering q new four cylinder car of
so horsepower. Either may be had
in IA different body types. Except
for the engines, there is but little
difference between the two cars.
Bodies and chassis are practically
the same. There will be, however,
a difference in price. For while
the V-8 will sell at low-price field
figures, the a will sell for still
less. That is our conception of
expanding service TO the motoring
public, particularly in the face of
present economic conditions"
simultaneously with the an
nouncement of the presentation
date, the Ford Motor company
