NEW YORK, Sept. 18.—Although slight losses were shown in some Issues at the opening- of the stock market today, after the sharp upturns of yesterday, the market quickly resumed Its advance after the start with the rails most prominent. Erie was In active demand and rose 1% to 19%. Canadian Pacific advanced 1% to 123 and Union Pacific advanced % to 123%. Fractional improvement was shown In Reading, Southern Pacific and B. & O. Mexican Petroleum fluctuated over a wide range, selling off over 1 point to 186, and then advancing to 188. Pan-American Petroleum yielded 1 point to 94%, but quickly recovered this loss.

The market closed Irregular. - (By Thomson & McKinnon.) —Sept. 18— The superficial observer can find many weak points in. our business structure and can point to more or less complaint in numerous Industrials. But these matters when so apparent have lost influence in the stock market, where the rule Is to look ahead for that which is not observable. We are completing the readjustment, and one of the leading commercial agencies reports that we are already in the stabilising stage, and in this connection It is very interesting to note the following words used by a vice president of the Guaranty Trust Company in an address last night: ‘ America today is the world's greatest gralnery and world's greatest workshop. “With bumper crops now being harvested and the universe still demanding our products in quantities such as no country has ever before been asked to supply, we face our most prosperous period In the immediate future.” The suggestion has been made that the strength In yesterday's market was banking support and a patriotic outburst. But the fact of the matter Is that it was but a continuation of what was already going on in the market on Thursday. While occasional reactions are to be expected, I look for a continuation of the present upward movement.

Stock Market Review NEW YORK, Sept. 18.—The New York Evening Sun's financial review today said: “There was not a .great deal in the short session of the stock market today of a spectacular nature. “There were mixed changes at the opening, with the movement on the whole favoring the conservative side. "Strong undertone was indeed in evidence most of the time, but as far as surface fluctuations were concerned the quality of the market* manifestations was to be described as steady to firm. “Values were in numerous cases shaded in the last half hour, although further changes were rather narrow. “Trading continued in fairly heavy volume for a Saturday at this season.” N.

GRAIN MARKET SUFFERSLOSSES Large Receipts, With Small Sales, Factors. CHICAGO, Sept. 18.—Large receipts, with lack of purchasing power, caused declines in the grain markets -on the Chicago Board of Trade today. The market was the usual dull Saturday session, with l.’ttle activity. Provisions held steady. December wheat was up %c at the opening at $2.43. but lost 2%c in later trading. March wheat showed a gain 'of l%c at the opening at but was off 4c at the close. September corn opened at $1.28, off lc, and lost another 2%c. December corn off %c at the opening and closed down l%c additional. Opening at 60%e, up %c, September oats closed off %c. December oats opened up %c at 63%c and later lost l%c. (By Thompson and McKinnon) Sept. 18Wheat —More or less export business seems to be doing in wheat all the time, but it is not possible to say that this demand Is large or (.ompetitive. Cash wheat at terminal markets is firm under a slightly better milling demand and owing to the light movement. Premiums in this market were about 2 cents higher today. The market maintains a firm undertone and may so continue until a complete cessation of foreign demand or increased receipts. Corn—lt is practically impossible to imagine better weather for maturing the corn crop than now exists. This condition Is confirmed by the free offerings of old corn from the country despite the steady decline in values. There are a few whf> claim that the offerings from the country are falling off but advices of this sort are not general.. It Is probable that receipts of corn here Monday will total around 500 ctrs. The outlook is for favorable weather over Sunday. This being so, further pressure should appear upon prices, in which event we are inclined to believe that profit taking on former sales Is in order. We believe this not because of any change of Ideas as to the future trend of prices, nor because of any indications of a change in the situation, but base the Idea upon the fact that market Is undoubtedly heavily oversold. Oats—Nearby deliveries of oats have broken into the 50s and yet the demand from consuming territory Is not materially improved. Some liquidation of holdings was apparent in today's market. This market should have a reaction from around this level but there is very little beyond the price to interest the'speculator. Provisions Some liquidation appeared in the early provision market but prices were supported by the leading packing Interest. The reduction In price of corn, the prospects of a burdensome crop and the reserves of old corn should induce the country to Increase the crop of pigs. On the other hand these conditions will tend to a lessening of the movement of hogs to market for the time being. We believe the Important thing In thl* market Is the enormous stocks which we are decreasing too slowly for ideas of higher prices. CHICAGO GRAIN. —Sept. 18WHEAT—■ Open. High. Low. Close.
