BUSINESS RECOVERY, IS PRONOUNCED Buying on Larger Scale, But Still for Current Wants. NEW TORK. Sept. 23. Dun'a Review tomorrow will aay: "After a period of alow and Irregular Improvement, added momentum to the business recovery has materialised with the-advancing aeason. While reports from separate trades and industries srs not yet of one tenor, encouraging features are in creasingly prominent and the outlook for continued gains Is favorabls. Except In certain speculstlve channels where prices havs fluctuated widely, cur rent developments are along conaervstlve lines, suggesting a purpose to svoid un wholesome excesses and to establish con ditions on a sounder basis. Evidence of such a policy appears In the prudent ac tion on the part of moat interests, who srs still limiting commitments olosely to sctual and weil-defined requirements sfter months of resdjuetment and liquidation. Ths number of spot transactions, how ever, la enlarging and there la alao less hesltstlon In some Instsnces with regsrd to anticipating ths wsnts of the future.

RAILS LEAD STOCK RISE MARKET IS STROXO IX AIX QUARTERS OF 1UIST. 'Ponds Continue to Advance Under 1 Influence of Lower Discounts. Exchange Rates Firm. NEW YORK, Sept 23. The stock mar ket todsy registered numerous substan tial gains on a large and varied turnover. Shorts fought the advance during the forenoon and towards the eloee, final prices showing Irregular recessions from top levels. Ths further reduction of rediscounts at Important reserve ceuters. coupled witn the Sbncouraging views of Governor Hard ing f the federal reserve board respect ing financial and trade prospects were noteworthy factors in the additional strengthening of quoted values. Ths market derived Its greatest Im petus, however, from ths prominence of rails. One block of 5000 shares of South ern Pacifio changed hands at an advance of 1 from yesterday's final price and kindred issues scored extreme gains of 1 to a points, junior rails following at a more moderate pace. Industrials continued to be featured by steels, equipments and oils with the usual sprinkling of unclassified specialties. In cluding rubber, food, lesther snd tobacco shares, Mexican Petroleum steered its re cent erratlo course, rising hslf a point, re acting 2 points and closing at a fractional fain. Sales were 835.000 shares. All call loans. Including renewals, were msde et 8 per cent, but slight concessions wsre reported on merchanie' paper and bank acceptances. Italy again was the only Important ex ception to the higher trend shown by for eign exchanges, although sterling receded later. The bond market again turned upward ttnder the Influence of lower discounts. Liberty Issues led. all except 3 Vis showing strength. Ralls and some industrlsls slso Improved, but Internationals were Irregu- lloStSo. " Par Va""- """i CLOSING STOCK QUOTATIONS. (Furnished by Overbeck A Cooke com pany.. Portland.) Agr Chem....

Prices Close Firm and Higher In Chicago Slarket Decline In Primary Receipts. CHICAGO, Sept. 23. Indications of good-sised export business had a bullish effect on the wheat market today. ' Prices closed firm, le to 2o net higher, with December 81.27 to 81.28 and May 31.31 to 8181. Corn gained 0e to 34c and oats 0o to c In provisions the outcome was unchanged to 80c lower. 'Wheat prlcea began to ahow an upward tendency aa soon as the market opened and. although moderate setbacks took place at times, tha finish was at the top level of the day. Offerings were light at the start and this factor encouraged buying In which a strong commission house acted as leader. Later, the signs of improve ment In export demsnd, especially the call fot hard winter grades to be shipped by way of the Oult of Mexico, became the chief stimulating Influence. Milling demand outlook was said to be picking up and there wss talk that even wlthput rejuve nation of export trade some domestic mills might find difficulty obtaining sup plies. In this connection. It was pointed out today that today for the first time In many weeks the primary receipts were mailer than a year ago. Cora and oats reflected the wheat ad vance. New Orleans exporters were said to bs outbidding Chlcsgo for corn in cen tral and southern Illinois. Provisions had a downward slant In Una with hog values. . The Chicago grain letter, received yes terday by the Overbeck A Cooke company el Portland, follows: - Wheat With exception of a small de cline early In the day. due to lack of out side buying, ths market had an exceed ingly strong tone and closed at the best prices of the day. There was mors bull ish news In circulation and .much of It of an Important sort. Perhaps the most encouraging feature of all was the in cresningly persistent evidence of a broad milling demand getting under way. The demand coming Just at the time when the urgent selling by the country is near Ins an end la apt to create a very strong situation, regardless of whether exporters buy or not for the time being. Europe will not be out of the United States mar ket for long. Canadian trade Journals re port more or less damage to wheat In the fchock. due to the heavy rains of ths psst two weeks. We resllse that the market will require Increased outside buying, but believe the trend is again In an upward direction and that new buying will de velop as ths market gains strength. Corn Receipts showed a decrease and cash prices firm at a fractionally higher basis. The primary movement Is now down to about the ssme proportion as last year, while the demand continues . to broaden. To sell corn at this level would. In our opinion, be contrary to conditions. Oats Selling led by northwestern In terests was well taken and the market strengthened at the close with other grains. News was devoid of feature, ths cash market being firm on receipts of 126 csrs. While there has been no export business confirmed recently, we hear rumblings dally out of which something may develop later. Rye Trade undertone waa strong.
