COPPERS AT TOP MARK Trading Assumes Huge Proportions and Advances Are Almost Con tinuousShort Selling: and Re alizing Have Iilttle Effect. NEW YORK. Sept. 22. Trie record of today's session on the Stock Exchange promises to form a part of the Important history of that Institution. Trading as sumed the huge proportions of 1.525.000 shares, making the fourteenth consecutive five-hour day in which operations have ex ceeded 1,000.000 shares. Almost from the outset the movement was led by United States Steel, wsiich scored an extreme gain of K points to the unprecedented price of 114H. Steel's contribution to the day amounted to about 20 per cent of the whole. New maximums were made by otKer mar ket leaders. Including Anaconda Copper at 0'. Utah Copper at W3 ana inspiration Copper at 641,.

Trading differed from that of the two davs Immediately preceding. In that little lregularity was perceptible at any time. The movement was one or almost steaay advances, although rails, which helped to buttress the market of the forenoon, sold off quite generally at the close. Prior to that time New York Central. Reading and Canadian Pacific had shown gains of two points ea-:h, with a point or more for Union Pacific. St. Paul, coalers and some of the minor road a Equipments. shipping shares, sugars. petroleums, with Texas Company, up seven points, helped to swell the enormous total. Unclassified shares of the more obscure variety augmented the number of different issues dealt in. these exceeding any ses sion of the last three weeks. " Realizing sales and short selling were almost continuous, but their effect, except In several Isolated instances, was almost necilgtele. News beating- upon the market was mainly favorable. Including the reports of mercan tile agencies, which referred to favorable trade conditions. Foreign exchange markets were duH. with no material alteration in rates. Bonds were strong, with total sales, par value. $4,935,000 United States bonds were unchanged on call. . CLOSING STOCK QUOTATIONS. Closing Bales. Hierh. Low. bid.

"Jobbers, wholesale dealers, retailers and manufacturers all share In the upward movement, and interior merchants, even in sones where the wheat and cotton crops are short, are buying freely, lest there be not enough goods to go around later on. Some cities report record sales by retail dealer Manufacturers in leading Industries are handicapped by lack of efficient labor and though shipments are heavy, order books remain clogged. "In that excellent barometer of conditions. the steel trade, higher prices rule, deliv eries are falling farther behind, domestic consumers fully recognize the futility of waiting for lower quotations and the situ ation seems to have arrived at the point where Europe stands ready to step In with well-nigh unlimited orders If assurances can be made that the steel will be forthcoming as neeoeo.

FRANCE BUYS WHEAT Broader Export Trade Stimu lates Chicago Market. SHARP GAIN " IS SCORED Bullish Enthusiasm Increased by Unfavorable Crop News From Argentina Dakota Mills Shut Down From Lack of Supplies. CHICAGO. Bept. 52. Aggressive buying of wheat resulted today from unfavorable crop conditions In Argentina and from export transactions tnat aggregated 1. 600.000 bush els. The close, although unsettled, was 3o to 8c net higher, with December at $1.63 to $1.53, and Mar at $1.53. Corn gained 4 to lc and oats to e. In provisions final quotations ranged from 12c decline to an equal advance- Except Just at the close, wheat prices were on the upgrade virtually throughout the session. A scarcity of offerings was evi dent right st the outset, and tt was not long before bulls were indulging tn a stam pede because of advices that rains in Ar gentina had failed to affect the drouth, the lack of moisture being In the north, whereas the rains had fallen In the south and west Further upturns In values came about from assertnns that mills In the Dakotas were shutting down owing to difficulty of obtaining supplies, but a greater stimulus lay In the fact that the export demand had broadened to a material extent and 'that a substantial part of the foreign purchasing was for shipment to France. One of the additional elements that gave strength to the wheat market was a state ment by a leading authority that the planted acreage was likely to show a material de crease this Fall tn the soft wheat states. The bullish effect of this forecast was only off set In part by reports that the Illinois area would probably beenlarged ss much ss 14 per cent. Profit-taking on part or early buyers wss In progress when the gong brought transactions to an end. Unfavorable croo reports from Ohio did a good deal to lift the com market- Wheat strength was also a bullish factor. Oats rose chiefly In consequence of the upturns In other cereals. Export houses were fair buyers of future deliveries. Provisions were Inactive. An advance In the hog market prevented any general set back in prices. Leading futures ranged as follows: WHEAT. Open.
