S. C. & F. Dow Jones Summary of yeastedray's markets: To-day's market was narrowly irregular, except for steels, which reached new high levels In anticipation of higher operations. In other sections of the market there were but small changes. Utilites Sentiment were fractionally down. with regard to rails was mixed, Oil shares dipped. Building

Investigators Morning Comment:

Into the food situation bellove that the Ohio flood will probably be mo- derate. The netion of oil shares in- dicates that the current oil altuation pes- is too strong to be affectd by simizile comment. It is indicated that the January showing of the Boston-Maine Railroad is good. Traders are by no means generally bullish, although they expect a high- er market before the end of the year. S. C. & F. New York office cables: The market shows a Stocks: mixed trend and further irregularity Je indicated.

Colton: Aside from some delay in the movement of stocks, Memphis nd- vises that the flood will probably have but little effect on the baled cation stored there. Unless there are complications, the some further matikled mutilated carliness of the Mississippi food al- lows ample time for the planting of the new crop. There is some feeling that 12 cents for the distant posi- tions is high enough and profit- taking is appearing on advances, A settlement of the shipping strike on the Pacific Coast is reported to be imminent and this will probably im- prove exports.
