NEW YORK. Sept. 18. The uneasi- Inesa of the near east situation was re- I fleeted in today's bond market, special losses being: registered by foreign secur ities, speculative railroad mortgages and few industrial issues. Liberty issues I moved with an irregular trend, varia tions ranging from 2 to 12 points, either way. In the foreign list recessions or l to 1114 points topic place in FreWh TAm, Belgium 78 and 8s, Mexican 4s, Jap anese '4s. United Kingdom 54s of 11)21 I and 1931.

T. certificate 7s led the reaction in the industrials and publie utility divisions. Total sales, par value, were tl2.B04.000. New offerings today exceeded $10,000,- 000. The principal ones were an issue of . $3,150,000 5 per cent equipment trust certificates of the New York, Chicago & St. Louis railroad, which were disposed of privately on a 5 per cent basis; $2,- 660.000 of Seaboard Air Line 0k per cent equipment trusts; $2,600,000 of Lin coin Joint stock land bank bonds, or fered at 101, to yield between 4.00 and 6 per cent; $1,000,000 issue of the lanl bank of the state of New York and city of Fort Worth.

Bear traders, taking, advantage of the market's top-heavy condition and of critical situation in the near east, had induced heavy selling in Paris and London exchanges, launonea successful attack on stock prices in ie local market, the declines of active fftrnien raneinar from 1 to 6 points. The veiling weakened- speculative accounts of outside interests, but wa cnecKeo to ward the close by short, covering oper- Lftnnt. Railroad shares proved much steadier than the industrials, the declines In that group ranging from 1 to 3 points. Cen tral Railroad of New Jersey, however, dropped nearly 14 points on a turnover of only 300 shares, no special reason be ing apparent for sueh a violent setback. - There were a few exceptions to the general downward trend, Loew's, Inc.. Improving fractionally on reports that tho company had wiped out its bank loans and that its theaters are now on a. paying basis, and Texas-Gulf Sulphur being pushed up to a n,ew high on un confirmed reports ol an eariy resump tion of dividends. Oil shares were active in response to reports that Standard Oil company of Louisiana had acquired an interest in that company, and some im provement was noted in -Sinclair shares. Selling of Studebaker, which was down 2, and some of the motor accessory shares was influenced by the announce ment of a drastic cut in motor car prices by the Willys-Overland company and the closing of the Ford plants. United States Steel -common sold off 1 "i4 noints. while losses of 1 to nearly 4 points took place in Bethlehem A, Republic and Gulf States steels. Lackawanna improved fractionally on announcement that its shareholders had approved the merger with the Bethle hem Steel company. Losses of 4 points and over took place In American Car & Foundry, American Water Works 7 per cent preferred, Kresge, Railway Steel Spring, Twin City Rapid Transit and a. few others. Total sales were 1,286,000 shares. Call money opened at 4 per cent, but fell U 3 la the third hour, where it held until closing. The time money and commercial paper markets were quiet, with no change in rates. Foreign exchanges were noticeably weak at the opening but they stiffened considerably later. Demand sterling was off about a cent from Saturday's price, and the decline in continental rates ranged from 2 to 11 points. German marks were firmer In response to cable dispatches, indicating that satisfactory arrangements had been made for fur nishing security for the German treas ury bills given Belgium.

Soaring prices and big buying In the wheat market to day accompanied word of great war moves on the part of Great Britain. The value of wheat rose nearly 6 cents a bushel, but' heavy selling to realize pro fits led to a material Setback before the day ended. Closing quotations were un settled at a net gain of 3 to 4 cents, with., December $1.05 $1.05 and May $1.09 $1.10. Corn finished to cents up, and oats up cents. In provisions, the outcome varied from 2 cents decline to a rise of 5 cents. Excitement in the wheat pit was a bit slow to become manifest, opening prices showing an upward tendency, but hardly more than a routine difference, from Saturday's figures. Before half an hour had elapsed, however, hundreds of trad ers were wildly bidding and the advance of prices was bordering on the sensa tional. Reports that the entire British Atlantic fleet was on the way to Con stantinople and that arms factories in Great Britain would work night and day at full capacity, stirred up wave after wave of buying orders for wheat, and although the market swung backwards at times, the top figures of the day were but little discounted until the final hour of the board of trde session was at hand. One of tho foremost speculatrs in wheat was said to have changed his position from the selling to the buying side as a result of the warlike develop ments In progress. The fact that for the first time in the last few days, the" Win nipeg and Liverpool markets .were ra pidly advancing tended further to accel erate the swiftness of the upturn and so did assertions that purchasing of wheat for shipment to Europe, Canadian wheat in particular, had reached a large total. Late denials which were current that the British Atlantic fleet would go to the Mediterranean and that Kuropeon buy-, ing bad greatly expanded, were more or less effective in easing the market after mid-day. Announcement of a small in crease of the United States visible supply was also of some moment In rendering the market less one-sided during trans actions at tho last. r Corn and oats showed' sympathy with the wheat advances, but only to a lim ited extent. The chief reason of the relative slowness was the shipping de mand for corn was less brisk than of late and that receipts ol corn here were heavy. v Provisions were governed by the action of the hog market. The Chicago grain letter received ' yes terday by the Overbeck & Cooke com pany of Portland follows. Wheat A broad buying movement led by houses presumed to be acting for leading snorts caused more activity than has been seen for many months. The buying apparently was based on the foreign news, although behind it all was the fact that for some time the market has been working, into a strong position. In face of the general cry about a car shortage, receipts at primary markets have been running above last year's and abeve a five-year average. At the same time accumulations at pri mary points have been unimportant. That the cash position is strong Is evi denced by the fact that September is selling at about the same price as De cember, which normally. should be at a carrying charge premium. This advance today is very apt to change the entire complexion of the market by encourag ing holding of cash grain off the mar ket and stimulating foreign buying which has been withheld for many months awaiting evidence that . the downward- tendency of prices had cul minated. Corn Trade in this market was rela tively small and the advance disap pointing considering the gain In wheat. It was rot because of any bearish news, but - simply that the market was ne glected with wheat occupying the at tention of the trade. Receipts of 725 cars met a . good demand at a firm basis. The statement of hog supplies giving the number of hogs on farm as of September 1, at 60.500,000 against 55, 916,000 did net receive as much atten tion as it should. With a smaller com crop indicated and more livestock to feed, the present level of corn prices looks very low. Oats Followed the general trend of corn, reflecting the advance on selling by longs, aside from which there was little pressure. Cash prices were 10 to 11 higher with the trading basis firm. Ship ping sales reported 550,000 bushels, mostly to domestic, consumers. Tho mar ket has a strong foundation". Rye Ruled strong with little pres sure in evidence and some improvement in outside buying, together with a de mand from the Beaboard presumably re flecting export sales. Cash rye was relatively steady. The visible supply showed a small decrease in face of lib eral receipts last week. Leading futures ranged aa follows: WHEAT.

Action of the wheat market today in advancing T9o from the recent low point was taken as fully demonstrating" the recently expressed belief of traders that the entire world had become en tirely too bearish as to the ultimate price. The war scare, wnicn is still not taken very seriously abroad, has served to call attention to the fact tnat prac tically all of the depressing Influences are known, and to some extent have lost their influence. Technically te market was regarded as in a weaker position at the close with, loeal snorts well covered. . It was the gossip of the wheat trade that the most effective selling on the bulge was by houses that were the best buyers around $1 and- under for De cember on last -week's break. Winnipeg. October wheat acted very tight at one time today. It reflected the persistent buying on scale orders on the recent decline. Closirig of spreads between wheat and corn, the latter being sold, was said by corn traders to have been the main fac tor in preventing a Bharp advance in that grain. Germany has still to import 51,000,000 bushels of wheat and rye for domestic requirements, according to a cable from Alfred Dennis of the United 8tates de partment Of commerce.
