NEW YORK, Nov. 18. Rejection by the
house of representatives of President Hard
ing's surtax recommendations, Judge
Gary's qualified review of industrial condi
t'ons and suspension of the United States
Industrial Alcohol dividend were among
development, which prompted moderate
selling in the stock market today. The
reaction was by no means, general, how
ever, as evidenced by the strength of cer
tain issues in the railway, shipping and
cetal divisions. Chesapeake & Ohio re
sumed dividends and retention of regular
disbursements by several of the Important
merchandising companies was indicative
of a more confid at feeling in commercial
circlea
Price movements were most confusing
among oils, steels, equipments and motors,
those issues showing mixed gains and
losses. Specialties of the paper, leather,
tobacco and utility types eased irregularly
In the absence of recent pool support.
Sales amounted t- 900,000 shares.
For the first time this week the money
matket evinced a tighter tendency, call
loans rising from their opening rate of
41 per cent to 514 per cent In the final
hour. This wa. unexpected In view of the
easier tone of time funds for the shorter
dctes.
Aside from the firmness of the London
rate, foreign exchanges were irregular,
leading continental bills reacting slightly
end German marks showing further weak7
ness on pressure of offerings from London
and Paris.
Domestic rail, and Mexican, were the
strong features of the bond market, to
gether with utilities, notably, the new
ifsue of the New York Telephone company.
Most of the liberty and victory issue, also
showed improvement over recent quota
tions. Total sales, par value, $17,850,000.

WHEAT TRADE BULLISH
REPORTS OF CROP DAMAGE IX
SOUTHERN HEMISPHERE.
Locusts Injure Grain in Argentina,
Australia Has Hot Wave; Mois
ture in Southwest Ignored.
CHICAOO. Nov. 18. Uneasiness over re
ports of crop damage In Argentina and
Australia had a bullish effect today on the
wheat market. Prices closed firm at 2'Ac
to Slic net advance. with December
$1.08 to 1.0S and May $1.11 to
fl.llH. crn gained, lc to IStilHc
and oat. io to lc. In provisions, the
outcome varied from unchanged fisures
to 10(812Vjc higher.
Crop damage In Argentina wa. attributed
tc locust, and In Australia to a hot wave.
With deterioration thus affecting both
the important wheat producing countries
of the southern hemisphere, the wheat
market throughout the day evinced a de
cided tendency to soar, for bears of late
have put considerable stress on prospects
of a good yield in the harvest now at hand
below the equator. Another atlmulua to
ward higher price, wa. the scantiness
of domestic receipts. The amount of grain
In transit in the northwest especially was
said to be the lightest at any time this
season. Word of snow and rain at many
place, failed to check the upward move
sent. The fact that ten loads of gulf
wheat had been taken for export at lo
better premium than yeaterday helped to
Inspire confidence among buyers
Government plan, to a.slst In financing
the domestic corn crop were given In
creased attention In the corn and oats
trade. Corn in particular was more In de
mand. One authority estimated that be
fore the end of the crop year the country
would face a shortage of 250.000,000 bush
els of corn and oats combined.
Provisions tended upward with hogs and
grain.

Corn Thl. market continued to show
Increasing evidence of assuming the
leadership of all grains. Bullish sentiment
Is spreading and the outlook from a supply
and demand standpoint is materially Im
proved One prominent statistician, in
analyzing the possibility, predicts that be
fore the end of this crop year there will
be an actual shortage of corn. It Is a
known fact that low prices Invariably
mean Increased farm consumption and If
the war finance corporation Is to extend
credit to the farmer to permit him to hold
hi. corn, there 1. no reason why he should
not take advantage of It. Some falling
off In export demand was reported today,
but this was greatly offset by a good
domestic Inquiry. This looks like an op
portune time to take hold on tho Invest
ment side of futures.
