SECURITY TREND

NY VICTOR EUBANK

NEW YORK, Oct. 21.-lREln'
vestment selectivity continued 10
rule stocks today and the mar
fet finished a rather sketchy week
without any real indication OF l1s
next shift.
Timidity Of potential purchasers
from Monday on was ATTRIBUTED
partly to the inability OF the av'
erages to break through the Z
year peaks Of last July. lnva.
sion Of the Philippines and good
European war news accumulated
conservatism marketwise on the
thought that. should the two con-
flicts end about the same time,
reconversion troubles might be
severe. Individual situations,
earnings prospects, dividends and
persistent hopefulness over the
election served as bullish factors.
The list slipped Monday, came
back in the next two sessions,
with Wednesdays volume OF
around 100000 shares the best OF
the six-day stretch, and did vir-
tually nothing on balance during
the remainder of the week. Mix
ed tendencies prevailed at the
start Of the final brief market and
the direction was cloudy at the
close.
The Associated Press 60-stock
composite was unchanged at 55.6
and On the week was up i OF a
point. Transfers for the two hours
totalled 356,53O shares against
549, $3.50 last Saturday.
| Among the days best perform
ers at tops for 1914 were Ameri-
can Airlines, apparently respond
ing to a proposal for a 2-for-1
splitup in the stock; North Ameri-
can Aviation, still buoyed by a
boosted dividend; Texas Pacific
Land Trust, again spurred by
word the conern had negotiated
profitable leases to two important
producers of petroleum; Marshall
Field, aided by pleasing sales fig
ures and suggestions the issue
, was behind the market, and Childs
Co. -:
| Modest improvement today was
retained by U. S. Steel, Santa Fe,
Southern Pacific, Standard Oil
(NJ), American Telephone, Good
lyear, General Motors and Mont
gomery Ward. Losers included
Chrysler, Anaconda, Westinghouse
Du Pont, Douglas Aircraft, Wool
worth and Philip Morris.

UNREST NOTED
IN GUATEMALA

GUATEMALA CITY, Oct. a.
(R)--Crowds in Guatemala's capt.
tai sacked the homes OF former
President Jorge Ubico and former
chief Of secret police Jose Bafnabe
Linares, as unrest continued today
after 4 l2-hour revolution in which
more than 1000 persons were
wounded and the government OF
acting President Gen. FREDERICK
Ponce overthrown.
The number slain was not i'm.
mediately known. Wounded were
given medical attention by the Req
Cross and at private hospitals.
Control Of the government was
in the hands Of a triufnvirate OF
two young officers and a civilian,
leaders of youthful officers and
university students who precipitat-
ed the revolution. There was no
indication Of a countef.revolution-
airy attempt.
Former President Ubico, who
had been accused Of continuing
control of Guatemala through his
successor, Gen. Ponce, was reports
ed already out Of the country, en-.
route to New Orleans. The chief
of secret pc ice took refuge in the
Peruvian embassy.
Acting President Ponce, now in.
termed in the Mexican embassy,
surrendered yesterday with his
cabinet and other high officials
after the revolItionaries, armed
with modern weapons and tanks,
blew up the forts Of San Jose and
Matamoros and threatened de.
struction of the national palace.
The new regime is headed by
Capt. Jacobo Arbenz, %; and
Maj. Francisco Javier Arana, 81;
Jorge Toriello, a civilian. The tri'
umvirate began today forming a
cabinet
Crowds milled tonight around the
national palace, while patrols Of
young civilians. armed with wea
pons, controlled the city. The po-
lice force was inerned in its own
headquarters, and civilians policed
the city, with Boy Scouts direct
ing traffic.
Gen. FREDERICK Corado, COM
mander Of the Guatefala guard,
was killed yesterday at the begin
ming of the revolt.

CHICAGO GRAIN

CHICAGO, Oct. 21.-(F-A bull
ish trade developed in rye TO-DAY
and the advance strengthened
other grain futures markets. CLOS,
ing prices for the brown cereal
were at the sessions high, up two
to two and one-quarter cents.
The trend in all markets was a
complete reversal Of yesterday s
action. There was lack OF sell
ing pressure and the trade in
wheat was neglected as interest
conferred in the rye pit.
Scattered buying Of rye started
at the opening when prices were
mixed. Brokers who at times act
for a large local operator turned
BUYERS and the demand disclosed a
lack of offerings. Prices ran up
quickly when spectators started
to reinstate lines sold out yester-
day. ~.
Traders predicted the domestic
visible supply of rye, to be an
|nounced Monday, again will show
a sharp reduction. Open interest
in December rye yesterday total
led 10, 734, 900 bushels. Local stocks
Most OF which are held tightly by
one or two interests, ARE estimated
at less than 10 million bushels.
Imports from Canada are restrict
ed by a shortage of elevator and
shipping space.
