STOCK MARKET TONE WEAK Rail Issues Showed Fractional Improvements. NEW YORK, Oet. 9.—The stock market suffered from a lack of Interest at the opening today. Price changes in the main were confined to fractional limits with the trend in the important issues being to lower figures. Steel common declined %, to 87. Baldwin Locomotive ranged between 111% and 1111.4. Republic Steel fell ‘A. to 747*. Most of the rails showed fractional improvement, Reading advancing %, to 98; Southern Pacific 74, to 99%. and Northern Pacific 74, to 89%. Texas Pacific yielded %, to 237*. Mexican Petroleum dropped 174, to 18874, anjd Pan American Petroleum and Royal Dutch were forced down 74. The copper shares were fractionally lower. American Steel Foundries continued in good demand and rose %, to 38%. A drive against prices was made by professionals, who took advantage of the absence of many traders on account of tha half holiday. Market observers feel prices are getting near the lowest levels they will reach this year. The atock market closed firm. Government bonds were not materially changed and railway and other bonds were Rteady. Closing prices: United States Steel, 87%, of 74; Baldwin, 11174, off 74; Pan American Petroleum, 89%, off 74 i United fcjittes Rubber. 78%, off "4: Chesapeake & OEo, 66%, off 1%; Texas & Pacific, 20%, off 5%; Retail Stores, 7274. off %; St. Louis Southwestern, 34%, off %, Bethlehem preferred, 6974, off %; Mexican Petroleum, 187%, up 174; Studebaker, 55. off 2%; Reading. 97%, off 74; Southern Pacific, 99%, off 174; American Sugar, 105, up 1. (By Thomson & McKinnon.) This has been a rather uneventful day. Commission house business was moderate in volume. The professionals took to the selling side early in the session, and for a while some impression was made on values. But taking it all in all. the market gave a fairly good account of Itself, displayed considerable strength at times, with a tendency to rally as quickly as pressure ceased. This, however, may be due to technical rather than basic conditions, because our stock market Is controlled by the same factors that control our corporations. It is business, and we must always look to business either present or prospective, for an incentive. No one today will pretend that business conditions are good. There are some lines that have not been adversely affected to any great extent so far as prices are concerned, but there is no assurance that it will continue as it Is. It would be far more reasonable to assume that when price cutting has once taken hold that onr entire business structure will be affected. At the close of the week the money #*#rket was slightly strained and this may prove to be only a temporary condition since leaders in finance agree that we have passed or that we are now pass ing through the worst. It looks to us as though temporarily at least we will experience some further setback la values. TWENTY STOCKS’ AVERAGE. NEW YORK, Oct. 9. —Twenty industrial stocks averaged 84.40, a decrease of .83 per cent. Twenty active rails averaged 83.84, a decrease of .77 per cent.

Stock Market Review

NEW YORK, Oct. 9.—The New York Sun’s financial review today said: “The market for securities in today’s short session was again disposed to yield in the price list as a further reflection, presumably of a desire to adjust accounts not only against the week-end, but likewise the Columns day recess, which comes next Tuesday. “Trading was only moderately active and recessions were not broad with a few exceptions. “The market was irregular in the last phase Rnd offered nothing of special importance. "Changes were narrow and it was apparent that the list was merely marking time until the closing gong should sound. “Government war bonds were steady.

Prices held steady to 10c lower, but trading was slow, and it was thought that unless some unforeseen move was made that would give better sentiment that there would be many of the 7,000 fresh hogs on the market left over for the opening of next week’s market. Eastern shippers were not as active as they were on tne Friday market, and the local packers took that as a good incentive to hold prices to the level of yesterday. , Good mixed and heavy hogs were about steady, but the Iffo drop was noticeable in the trading in light hogs. Both roughs and pigs lost a quarter in the shake-up of the market, xoughs bringing sli> and pigs sl6. The bulk of sales for the day ran close to $16.25(<516.35. , „ Trading on the cattle market was dull, as it usually is on a closing day market. Prices generally held firm, with the prices of the last few days. Receipts approximated 500. The calf market was about steady with that of Friday, with prices not materially changed on any grade. Receipts approximated 360. With 300 sheep and lambs on the market prices held firm with the r rlday fnarket.

INDIANA DAILY TIMES, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 9,1920.

Corn Prices Strike New Low Average WASHINGTON, Oct. 9.—Compared with the prices of other commodities corn averaged lower during September than in any September of the last ten years, the Bureau of Markets of the Department of Agriculture announces today. “The pre-war average September 'price for a typical grade of cash corn in Chicago for the years 1911 to 1915, was 74 cents a bushel, ’’ the bureau statement says. “With the present 40-cent dollar this average price is equivalent to not less than $1.75 per bushel today; that is corn should sell for at least $1.75 to be on an equality with the present level of prices of other things," the statement declared. "But the actual price during the pa3t September was only $1.35 per bushel. “Corn has, therefore, suffered a drop of 44 cents. “Thia represents a cut of 25 per cent In the price of corn.” The bureau Bays it is impossible to Ray whether corn will drop to 75 cents, as some are predicting, or will maintain a fair level. - Local Stock Exchange —Oct. 9 STOCKS.

In the Cotton Markets

NEW YORK, Oct. 9.—At the opening of the cotton market today October was 5 points higher, but other mouths were down 0 to 37 points under active selling based on ideal fall weather conditions and poor reports from textile circles. The South was a (teller early, but on the other hand, Liverpool aud trade interests purchased. This demand, together w*;h local covering, helped to rally the list about 10 points after the start, but increased selling caused fresh weakness.

GRAIN MARKET _TONE FIRM Wheat Closed 5 Cents Higher —Oats and Com Up. CHICAGO, Oct. 9.—Grain quotations showed a firmer tone In trading on the Chicago Board of Trade today/ General commission house -buying followed the disappointing crop figures on spring wheat. The big corn crop forecast had been discounted and failed to affect the market appreciably. Provisions also were higher. December wheat opened up 4c at $1.98 and gained another Ic. March wheat was up 2%c at the opening of $1,93 und gained 2c. December corn was off l%c at the opening of 84%c, but closed %c higher. May corn off %c at the opening of 88%c, closed %c higher. December oats opened unchanged at 54%c and closed %c higher. Mav oats gained %c at the opening of 59%c and gained another %c at the close. (By Thomson A McKinnon.) —Oct. 9 Wheat—Some talk of restoration of Canadian government control of wheat, together with a better seaboard demand, and continued refusal of the Southwestern farmer to market his holdings have been responsible for action of the market today. People of standiug in Canadian wheat market feel that there will be no resumption of government control. However, whatever action may be taken it does not change the fact that the surplus of North America is large. Seaboard advices do not confirm the idea of some local exporters that there is a briak foreign demand. For a time to come the action of the market is likely to depend upon the attitude of the American producer. Corn—Reactions in prices are to be expected from time to time. The strength was gathered from wheat. It is believed that the movement of old corn will decrease to some extent, but as Eastern distributors are not urgent buyers, there is not much likelihood of any pronounced strength In the market. This idea is based upon the size of the present crop and the willingness of the farmers and country dealers to dispose of the reserves of last year’s crop. Cats—The trad-- in oats does not broaden, transactions being oo ifined to merchandisers and local interests. Eastern demand is still slow. We do not expect any individual action in oats. Provisions-Brokers representing the leading packers here were buyers of both lard and ribs.

Terse Market Notes

COTTON LETTER. NEW YORK, Oct. 9.—The cotton market was again subjected to considerable pressure, with no perceptible change In merchandising conditions in the prospective supply. / The weather has been favorable for harvesting the crop, but the size of the crop is temporarily not a factor. There is a want of confidence In prevailing values, and there must be a change In this respect. We feel, however, that the decline has gone far enough and with the least encouragement a holding movement might become a very important factor. The market seems to be in a trading position, and would favor operating on the long side, buying on the weak markets, and for a while accepting profits at every opportunity. CROP SUMMARY. Continued favorable weather in the corn belt has confirmed and strengthened the alreadv secure condition of corn, which is now being harvested generally. The digging of white potatoes throughout New England, the Northern States on the Pacific littoral, and in the upper Mississippi basin is progressing nicely. Sweet potatoes are showing large yields. s Cotton nicking continues under favorable weatner conditions. Fall plowing and see<|ing now engages most of the attention of grain farmers, although routine fall thrashing continues in the northern part of the Mis sisslppi basin. Pasture lands and hay lands are satisfactory, but would be mgeh Improved by more rains. On Commission Row „ % Trading on the wholesale produce market today opened with an even tone, and after the first hour more strength was shown, due perhaps more than any other thine to the extra supply that grocers would have to hav* to supply the consumers for the week-end. However, the tone of the market for the last few days has shown a better trend not only for the wholesale man and the grocer, but also for the cousumer, for the tendency of prices has been downward. For Instance, this Is shown Jn the price of peaches. A week ago good peaches on the market could not be bought for less than $3, with a range of $2.75 ffi 3.25. The same range of prices still exists, but the consumer Is now able to buy tno-ie same p aches at the short end of the range.
