Depressed Market.
NO REASON FOR PRESSURE

Time Last Year,

The American Fsrm BurMH federation

to farmara to hold their wheal, according to
a. telegram from Chicago, received by the

The federation In Ita mesesgs to the farm
era. quotea an Interview with Herbert
Hoover, In which the latter says:
"We are over-marketing our wheat and
depressing prices unduly. Many eountrlea
tnuat carry larger stocks. At leaat 40 per
cent of the wheat crop paaeed out of tha
farmerv hands la tha 11 rat 80 daya of
tat crop year.
"There can he no serious resson for any
prsesurs en tha farmer to aall In view of
tha liberal provlalona for marketing credit,
both by tha federal reeerva board and the
war finance corporation.
"Tha outlook for tha export market la
In my mind aa rood aa laat year at thla
time. Tha potato outlook In Europe la not
o good aa laat year and wheat largely
luoatitutes for potatoes. Moreover, tha da
control of wheat In many eountrlea with
thla harvest neceaaltatea their carrying
larger atocka.'

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.
Recognition of the fact that existing un
employment has appreciably curtailed ths
publio consuming power makes for caution
In forward purchasing.

QUARTERS OF 1UIST.
'Ponds Continue to Advance Under

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

EXPORT TRADE IMPROVES
DEMAND FROM ABROAD HAS
BULLISH EFFECT.
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. Cash
rye was firmer at 1 cent over September
for No. 2 on track.
