ECONOMIC PARLEY
SUCCESS EXPECTED
Securities Will Eventually Be.
gin to Discount ConStruc-
tive Developments.
BY DIR. MAX WINKLER,
Special Dispatch to Tn. Star.


NEW YORK, November 3.-While 1t
is undoubtedly true that fundamentals
are not likely to change drastically, re-
gardleSS Of the outcome in the i'm
pending national election, the American
investing public, as well as the trading
fraternity, prefers to wait for the final
result next week before making COM
mitmentS on a large scale.
II is for this reason that the turn
over ON the New York Stock Exchange
has been reduced to the level obtaining
several months ago, especially during
the days Immediately preceding the
Lausanne Conference.
Outside of the elections in the United
States and, to less extent. elections
in Germany, which may be assumed TO
have a certain bearing upon conditions,
the future trend of affairs will depend
upon what results the forthcoming In
ternational Economic Conference will
achieve. Despite the pessimism which
prevails. the conference is expected TO
be a success. 1t is expected confidently
that securities will sooner or later begin
TO discount constructive developments
which are bound TO take place when
the Assembly conVeres.

NEW YORK, November 3-A lower
level for many bond issues was reached
today, with selling spreading into the
semi-speculative public utilities and in
dustrials, though the most significant
declines were again those in the rail-
road list
While the lower-grade rails were

Among public utilities, distinctly

North American Edison IS gained ll2

WHEAT PRICE DIPS
TO TARIFF LEVELS
December Contract Declines
Close to 42-Cent Import
Duty Figure.
BY the Associated Press.

For the first time in the history of
this country, wheat has been worth no
more on the market than the amount
Of the tariff designed to protect it from
foreign competition.
The import duty on wheat is AZ cents
a bushel When prices were at their
lowest in Chicago on Tuesday the De-
cember contract for future delivery
dropped to 427s cents a bushel.
Thus the domestic price was less than
cent higher than the amount of the
tariff. Since the market price of wheat
and the tariff were virtually equal the
rate Of duty automatically approximated
a 100 per cent tariff.
Practically it meant that wheat was
worth no more on American markets
than it costs foreign competitor to get
wheat into this country, above its cost
to him. Since the foreign seller, to
make a profit, must first charge enough
for his wheat to get back the amount of
the tariff, the drop in domestic prices
closed the door completely to foreign
