Quotations at the mills on minimum quan tities are unchanged, but the output is in creasing? and lower prices are expected soon. "Wheat receipts continue to increase, local arrivals for the day amounting to 88,400 bushels, against 24,700 bushels on the same day last year. M. H. Houser. wheat administrator, will appear before the members of the Merchants' Exchange at nooa today and explain, grain conditions. The feeling In the coarse grain markets was steadier. Local oats bids were raised r0 cents and offers for barley were $1 to Jl.no higher than on Monday. Eastern oats Bind corn prices were irregular.

The weekly crop report of the American Steel & "Wire Company says: "All reports Indicate that the weather conditions of the past week have been fa vorable for the development of the corn crop. The temperature being nearly, or lightly above, normal In the Central and "Western corn states: while the temperature was slightly below normal in the Eastern and Southern corn states, which in some Instances was accompanied by moist weather. In the states of Kansas, Iowa, Illinois Indiana. Northern Ohio, it will take from 10 to 1.1 days to fully mature the crop. Early corn In Kansas is safe from frost. In Iowa from one-half to two-thirds of the crop is now safe. Fifty per cent is safe In Indiana, a small proportion in Illinois and Xorthern Ohio requiring at least ten days of good weather to insure the crop. "There are reports of good yields of po tatoes in some sections of Wisconsin. Po tatoes -In the Hakotas and Minnesota were .somewhat injured in yield due to the early frost. I.ate potatoes are maturing well in the Central Rocky Mountain region. The harvest Is well under way In this section, as well as in the eKtreme Korthern states. In the New England states the yield is un even and below normal generally. An ex ception to this Is the state or New Toi-k and the Lake Region, which report good yields." NO SHORTAGE IX SIC.AR SUPPLY Members of Trade Aihil to Hold Down Orders to Requirements. "The. most mischievous influence that can possibly be brought to bear upon the sugar situation at the present time is the circula tion, encouragement or acquiescence in alarmist reports of an impending sugar shortage," says Facts About Sugar in Its current Issue. "While the relations betwe-n current demand and available supply arc nicely balanced as at present, a scare that would frighten consumers into increasing ru,,apS IOr the purpose of hoarding 1 might work Incalculable harm. Every day I ,1Moui any stimulation of de mand beyond actual day to day needs makes the situation easier. "Members of the sugar trade should make It a part of their business during the next several weeks to hold down orders to the level of actual requirements. to refute groundless reports of Impending shortage and to allay needless alarm among cus tomers." RECEIPTS OF RANCH EGGS SJULL I Storage Stock Is raaed to Supply Deficiency. Poultry Plentiful. Storage, eggs are evidently being used Ireely at this time, as receipts of ranch eggs are very small and plainly below lo cal requirements, yet prices hold stead-. At the same time no quotations on storage stork are given out. which would Indicate that these eggs are being sold as fresh As they have not been in storage, long - enough to acquire the storage flavor they are probably as satisfactory to buyers as the ranch article. Butter holds steady with light receipts of country creamery. Poultry arrivals were on a liberal scale and hens were weaker. Dressed meats were unchanged. II waco Cranberries Are in Market. Ilwaro cranberries made their appearance on the market yesterday, and were offered at 15 cents a pound. A car of Elberta peaches arrived from Yakima and one more car is to come. They sold at 7.1 j sr, cents. The demand for grapes was good and the three cars received Monday were closely cleaned tip. The market was almost bare of casabas. Bank Clearing.

NET LOSSES ARE RECORDED Steady Liquidation of Investment Issues Marks Larger Part of Ses Bion Call Sloney Rates Es tablished Bonds Heavy. NEW YORK, Oct. 2. The greater de pression which attended today's stock deal ings was again due mainly to familiar causes or conditions, namely, steady liqui dation of securities of a character hereto fore favored 'by investors. Recent severe recessions In rails were extended by one to four points, few Issues of that division escaping the process of at trition. No developments of a specific or definite nature were offered in explanation of the movement, but In well-informed cir cles the belief still obtained that the sell ing emanated from foreign quarters. Industrials and the various shares In cluded in the war group were plainly in clined to shake off the pressure against rails, but yielded with the general list until the final hour, when gradual improvement set in. United States Steel's course was again indicative of the general movement. From its lower level of I0SV4 Steel rallied two points, closing at llofe, a net loss of an insignificant fraction. Coppers were irregular at best, but ship pings and recognized pool shares were steady to strong. Total sales amounted to 735. otto shares.
