Brookings Discovers
Weakness Of Small
Stock Traders
Buy Too Soon and Sell
Too Soon, Odd-Lot
Survey Shows
BY the Associated Press.

oy LuC ASSOClhLeO fIeSS.
A study issued yesterday by the
Brookings Institution indicated that
the small stock market trader
tends to guess wrong on trends of
share prices. He buys on declines
and sells on advances, but !"
buys and sells too soon."
Market movements tend to con-
tinue in the same direction for a
substantial time" after the little fell
low acts, the report said.
During the years 1920 to 1898, in
elusive, principal odd-lot concerns
of the New York Stock Exchange
sold 100000 shares more than
they bought. Can odd-lot concern
buys and sells stocks in blocks of
less than 100 shares) The institu-
ton expressed belief that the bulk
of the 100000 shares went perma-
nently into the hands of relatively
small buyers.
Mainly Speculative.
On the average the small trader
accumulated six shares of stock by
buying LOG shares and selling 100.
The fact that the net balance of
stock permanently retained by the
small buyers is always a small part
of total turnover indicates, the re-
port said, that a large part of odd
lot trading is speculative.
The study was made by Dr.
Charles O. Hardy in cooperation
with three large odd-lot firms.
These firms do 81 per cent of the
business transacted in less than
hundred-share lots on the New
York Stock Exchange.
mo basis was found for suspicion
that the big odd-lot dealers at
tempt to manipulate transactions
so as to make fractional profits
not justified by the actual price at
which round lots are being traded
the report said "a round lot is a
transaction made in units of 100
shares or multiples of 1909
During the last two years, the re-
port indicated, there has been a
substantial diversion" of trade,
especially in odd lots, from the
New York Stock Exchange to ex-
| changes in other cities.
Other Exchanges Gain.
In Boston, Chicago, Cleveland,
Detroit, Los Angeles, Pittsburgh
and San Francisco the percentage
of volume in stocks listed on the
New York Stock Exchange to the
total volume Of the local exchanges
rose considerably during 1888. In
one instance the rise was nearly
100 per cent.
1t was found that net profit to
| the odd-lot dealers is a compare
, lively small item in the total cost
TO the public of its stock trading
operations, averaging for the past
five years considerably less than
the transfer taxes which State and
Federal Governments impose.

Arqentino's Corn Crop
IS Far Below Normal
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
The Agriculture Department. es-
timating Argentina's eXportable
corn surplus at l60000,000 bushels,
reports that country's crop was ex-
pected to be larger than in the
1878 season, but still far below
normal.
The first official estimate of the
corn crop now being harvested in
Argentina" it said, lis for a har-
vest of only 213.OOO0OO bushels.
While considerably larger than the
very low crop of 174OO000O bushels
harvested last season 1937-38. it
is still SO per cent below the average
of 346 100000 bushels for the five
years ended with 1861"
Describing Argentina as the
worlds largest exporter of corn, it
said: European markets usually
take the bulk of the exports, al
though in short crop years in the
United States considerable quanti-
ties are shipped to American and
Canadian markets"
