By BERNARD S. OUARA
NEW YORK, Sept 24-(;F)-Se-lected
stocks got back on tjieir
feet in today's market although
stumblers still were plentiful.
Continued optimistic war news
was a mild stimulant Many cus
tomers, however, remained - in
neutral territory pending more
Important foreign developments.
Some bidding was attributed to
the belief the list was in a strong
er technical position as a result of
the three-session decline.
The Associated Press 60-stock
average was unchanged at 51. The
market again lacked breadth. Of
811 individual issues traded, 297
..were up, 292 down and 222 un
changed. Transfers of 641,840
shares compared with 667,330
Thursday.
v Among favorites, Alleghany
Preferred and Engineers Public
Service common edged into new
high ground for 1943. Senior
stocks in front also were those of
Electric Power & Light and Unit
ed. Corp. Modest improvement
was retained by US Steel, Beth
lehem, General Motors, Santa Fe,
.NY Central, Southern Pacific,
Goodrich, International Harves
ter, ' American Telephone, Du
Pont Eastman Kodak, Westing
house, US Lines and General
Electric. RKO was up on a
pleasing earnings compilation.
Montgomery Ward and Sears
Roebuck dropped another point
or so each in reflection of the for
mer's disappointing first half
profits showing. Others on the
offside were Chrysler, American
Can, US Rubber, American Air
lines, Allied Chemical, Dow Che
mical, Anaconda, Kennecott and
Standard Oil (NJ).
A special 14,000-share block
offering of Dome Mines at 24
was quickly oversubscribed.
Oregon Hop
Market Firm
By the Associated Press
Oregon's hop crop is of good
quality generally and the quantity
Is up to earlier expectations, the
war food administration reported
Friday.
Eastward shipments were mov
ing in normal volume for this time
of year and- deliveries oo contracts
for early varieties were taken
steadily, WFA said, reporting on
the week ending Wednesday.
The market had a firm tone and
the trade reported moderate but
steady trading. Growers were of
fering remaining supplies slowly,
however, preferring to await
clarification of some price ceiling
regulations.
The harvest virtually was com
pleted and baling progressed, al
though with some delays caused
by labor and cloth shortages.

Firm Tone
Wheat Strength Brings
i Buying Into Oats, .Rye
For Fractional Gains
By WILLIAM FERRIS s '
CHICAGO, Sept. 24-0F)-A
firm undertone prevailed in wheat
today, the market drawing sup
port from buying by commercial
interests. This was - believed to
represent distillery purchases.
The bread cereal strength brought
buying into oats and rye, which
advanced fractionally.
Oats were elped by a strong
cash market; A car of oats, grad
ing No. 1 white heavy, sold at 84
cents a bushel irt the cash trade.
Dealers said this was the high
est price paid for oats to the local
market since 1923.
At the close wheat was
higher, December $1.48-, May
$1.49, oats were up Decem
ber 75, and rye was lower to
higher, December $1.06-.
The world-wide need for food
was emphasized by announcement
of the formation of the United Na
tions relief and rehabilitation ad
ministration, which would chan
nel foods to destitute nations af
ter the war. This served to
strengthen the generally bullish
attitude toward grains.
Harvesting of spring wheat in
the northwest was reported as
nearing completion under favor
able weather conditions. In the
Canadian prairie provinces, out
put was described as satisfactory
despite widespread frosts recent
ly. Weather has become more fav
orable for seeding winter wheat
in the southwest.
