PROFESSIONALS KEEP MART LOW; | SPECIALS WEAK Mexican Petroleum Active, but Showed Loss Before Day Was Over. NO STRENGTH IN RAILS Bpecial to Indiana Daily Times and Philadelphia Public Ledger. By MONITOR. NEW YORK, Sept. 1. —Professional operations resumed their control over Wednesday's stock market, and the rpsult was an irregular and somewhat lower market. A fair proportion of the list regisetred advance, tut the gains were largely those retained after a fairly strong market in the morning and which were not eliminated by the decline that; set In before the close. The somewhat, weaker technical posit.on resulting from recent covering gave the bears their op j portunity and they did not fail to avail j themselves of it. Mexican Petroleum was quite active and probably 10 per cent of the day’s dealings centered around this issue. It ■ was strong in the early trading, but the i late reaction caused it to show a frac- ! tional loss on the day. United Drug de- I elined rather sharply in view of the moderate scale of transactions. Ameri- ; can Bugar, American Woolen, Interna- [ tional Paper and Pierce-Arrow preferred were among the weakest of the special- j ties. Famous Players moved in most erratic fashion as a result of reports of pending legal proceedings for alleged violation of the anti-trust laws. The rise in call money to 5% per cent was. as might be expected, capitalized fiy the bears. The rails show little strength owing to the disposition to wait for action on the funding bill. The* preliminary July reports, However, make a most gratifying exhibit. Steels were not affected by the slightly optimistic tone of this week's revue by the Iron Age. The analysis of the situation in this Journal indicates, however, that the readjustment in the steel industry has proceeded to a degree fully in keeping with the process in other commodities and industries.—Copyright, 1921, by Public Ledger Cos. WALL STREET GOSSIP BY MONITOR. A relatively optimistic statement of steel trade conditions was the only news of Wednesday directly affecting market transactions. The Iron Age, after balancing the conflicting reports received from the industry, notes some improvement due largely to small inventories making necessary purchases for immediately delivery. According to this authority the United States Steel Corporation, as a whole, is operating at a trifle less than 80 per cent with the Carn gie works at a considerably lower ratio than in several weeks. The technical rally yesterday has weakened the position of these stocks in the market and they all closed with substantial losses for the day. Reports that the Federal Trade Commission had cited the Famous PlayersLasky Corporation and eleven other moving p.ctnre firms for competition in re straint of trade were denied Tuesday and officially confirmed Wednesday. President Jesse L. Lasky issued a statement denying that that corporation exercised absolute control over the industry or that it monopolized the business in any one town. This statement served in part to bring some buying into the stock on the reaction, but it was not of an impressive character. Unfavorable developments in the affairs of the Cuba Cane Corporation are expected to be announced soon. It Is reported in banking circles that the attempt to raise sufficient funds to tide the corporation through the dull period has failed. In the sugar trade, it is said the commodity position of the American Sugar Refining Company has been discouraging. It is understood the Chalmette refinery at New Orleans, one of the largest plants owned by the company, has been closed down indefinitely. Work on the Baltimore refinery is understood also to have been stopped. The price of refined sugar was reduced to 5.90 cents by all of the refiners and it Is admitted there is practically no demand for it. American Sugar is one of the stocks in which Important selling continues in both weak and strong markets. The Interborough Rapid Transit Company notified J. P. Morgan and Company that it has no funds to meet the $3.8.144.000 of three year notes outstanding, which nature tomorrow. An eleventh hour attempt is being made to get the holders of these notes to accept one year B per cent notes In place of the present issue. It is understood a considerable number of holders have accepted this plan but figures are not available. A shipment of gold coin valued at $3,250.000 is due here the early part of next week from the Reichsbank as part of the reparations payments. None of the bankers who have been handling these receipts recently have any definite information as to how the metal will be consigned. Directors of the Chicago. St Paul. Minneapolis & Omaha Railroad met and authorized the payment of the regular semiannual dividend of 2% per cent on the common stock and 3% per cent on the preferred. When these officials met June 15, dividend action was deferred and a statement issued to the effect that until complete settlement had been made with the Government, which probably would be In September, no payment would be authorized Yesterday's action indicates that more rapid progress than had been anticipated is being made in the railroad's controversy with the Federal authorities—Copyright, 1921, by Public Ledger Company.

Industrial U. S. Turning Away From Europe and Sizing Up Home Affairs

Special to Indiana Daily Times and Philadelphia Public Ledger. By C. B. EVANS. CHICAGO, Sept. I.—The opinion is gaining ground here that this country has been backing out of things long enough and should now come to a halt and in due time move forward. This idea applies particularly to the security market, which has been declining nearly two years a 1 seems to have overstated the bad con- ion of affairs if the test of a long period of years Is applied to the subject. As to Industry * and merchandising, there is little to be said thus far. Un questionably liquidation and hesitation are the characterizing things there, nnd it will take a lot of time to get our interests into reasonable adjustment, but even there improvement is visible, perhaps seasonal, merely. The evidence of more confidence in stocks has been seen in quotations in the past few days and Is a result of some good Investment buying, in addition to the natural covering by the shorts. We have had enough to frighten us surely in the past three years, but some of the causes of anxiety have abated materially. Events in the old world that we had feared have not happened and now are unlikely to happen, such as a great wave of Bolshevism, and then we have reached a calmer state of mind through a philosophic acquiescence in *he inevitable. Indeed the rest of the world has been largely eliminated from our calculations end we are more snd more studying vrhat there is for us in our own little country and what we can do about it. The decline of over 50 per cent in the exports from the United States thus far this year is regarded with a calmness in striking contrast to what might have been expected. Moreover we are taking more rational steps to encourage exports than at the outset of our troubles, when we were floundering about in a' mess of wildly conceived and administered export companies. Having decided that that chaos called Europe, swimming about among its own bubbles, Is of secondary Importance we can the more diligently address ourselves to the rehabiliatlon of our own affairs. Some of the iron and steel men are so bold as to say that 1922 will be a good year in their busl-

ness. This is in cheering contrast to the utterances of recent months, which sounded like the dull sob of the bass drum in the Dead March. "Yet we are not neglecting the rest of the world. Our relations with South America are dictated by much more intelligence than at any previous time in our histor. Burned though our exporters have been by the unfortunate experience of selling to bankrupts, but more particularly by their own folly in the conduct of their business, that part of the world Is now under careful and conservative cultivation as a commercial field. The loans that are made by this country to South American governments are guided by a high intelligence. Such loans and credits to individuals and corporations have been the making of the trade of Great Britain and Germany in that part of the world. We seemingly have Just discovered the wisdom of such financial engagements. There are corporations in this city which are considering large contracts with South Americans; some, Indeed, have been closed. Some buying of stocks In this city is traceable to these operations in the southern half of this hemisphere. The large prospecting and indeed actual opening up of oil lands further identify us with that part of the world A grand discovery has been made by many people desiring to get rich speedily —income is better than profit We had a tremendous whirl of profits during the war period. Where are those profits now? Ask that question to a man who made his half million or million between 1914 and 1918 and big head will droop a little. During a large portion of that period and since the rates for money were high, that is the percentages corporations were obliged to pay on new issues of securities were far above anything known in normal times. The s"eady dropping of this class of income into the pocket of the investor and the reinvestment of the money or u portion of it in new securities have accumulated riches in many a family which would have been utterly blasted by the declines In values since October, 1919. But on the chances now purchasers of storks will get not only the Interest return, but a large enhancement of principal ns the country returns to prosperity.—Copyright. 1021, by Public Ledger Company.

FINAL STOCKS TRADE QUIET Market Tone Irregular; Studebaker Recovers 1 Point. NEW YORK, Sept. I.—The stock market closed Irregular today. Trading was quiet during the last hour, when prices moved irregularily. Mexican Petroleum, after selling up to 105, fell to 104%, and Pan American Petroleum yielded over 1 point to 46%. United States Steel held steady around 74%, while Baldwin Locomotive from 54% rose to 75%. American Woolen was a strong feature, moving up nearly 3 points to 70%. American-Sumatra Tobacco was in de- ! maud for a time, selling up to 44%, from i which it reacted 1 point. Northern Pacific after falling 3 points : to 70%, rallied to 11%. Studebaker recovered over 1 point to ! 72%. ; Total sales of stocks were 374,800 shares; bonds, $10,772,000. (By Thomson & McKinnon.) —Sept. 1— With the exception of a small nura- ! her of active stocks, the market was ; dull. There was nothing interesting in the day s operations. There is as yet no public interest worthy of mention. It is not an easy matter for the public to change from an attitude of extreme pessimism. This requires time and a visible demonstration in the market in Hie way of advafccing values. But to the one ac- | customer to taking a long-range view of the market, there is ample Justification for a more eheerful feeling. ! The indicators of the incoming chango are not yet sufficiently numerous or I prominent to attract attention, but In i analyzing reports from various institu- | tions as to business we find here and : there suggestions of improvement. In Mexico, where the problem of the oil companies seems to be Insurmountable, the situation has been to a large extent solved by the decision of the Supreme Court in that country. In the litigation involving the local traction company the court does not look with favor upon the appointment of a receiver, as there is still hope of meeting its obligations. In a little while corporate reports will show up to advantage, while Rome com- ! panies will no doube disclose an uncx- • pected state of prosperity. We regard the outlook hopefully. We ! are of the opinion that the worst has I been experienced nnd that the time is I here to accumulate stocks. TWENTY STOCKS AVERAGE.

WHEAT VALUES SHOW GAINS Highest Figures of Day: Reached in Final Trade. CHICAGO, Sept. I.—Crop reports by two local experts showing a total wheat yield of 47,000,000 bushels under last year's harvest, the Government’s report on cotton showing the lowest condition on Sept. 1 on record nnd placing of the Greek order for 1.300,000 bushels of wheat combined to send all grain futures to sharply higher levels on the Board of Trade here today. Final prices were the best of the day except ln wheat, which on the extreme bulge showed a gain of 5%c for May and held only 4%e of it at the close. September and December wheat made net advances of 4%c. Corn, at the close, was %@l%c better, with the October up 2c over yesterday’s nominal quotation. Oats were unchanged to %c higher, with September leading. I’ork was inactive and nominally steady. Ribs were 2%@7%c higher and lard up 7%@20e, except on January, which was under considerable liquidation, and finished 2%c lower. (By Thomson & McKinnon.) —Sept. 1— Wheat —The encouragement given to believers in higher prices for wheat by yesterday's market was increased today by the action of cotton, which is responding sharply to inadequate utimate supplies. There was no evidence of foreign demand in the early market, but as prices advanced, export interests were taking fair quantities. The important effect of the advance was the revival in general interest as shown ln a considerable broadening of the market. It was said that Greece has taken round lots oi Canadian wheat through London interests, and It is also believed, that the Russian relief organization has bought considerable flour. Two estimates of the total crop issued by reliable private authorities confirm previous reports of dh'ppolntmsnt uncovered by the thrashing returns of spring wheat. The total crop winter and spring is estimated at 74b,000,000 bushels, as against the last Government estimate of 7'"'7,000,(K)0 bushels. It is to be hoped that the consuming trade has finally uwaneked to the possibility of premature depletion of our surplus, and that consequently prevailing prices will hold or advauce further. It goes without saying that increased revenues to the farmer will be beneficial along the entire line of general bus.ness. Course Grains—The strength in both corn and oats was gathered from the action of wheat, there being no developments in either one of these grains and no broadening of Interests. Estimates of the crop show considerable improvement ln corn, while thrashing returns on oats continue to reveal disappointments. l'rovisions—The feature of the bog market was the fact that packing grades show the most strength, from which it may be assumed that there has been a good demand for warehouse accumuia tions of products. Values ore likely to be influenced by tbe movement of hogs to market. CHICAGO GRAIN TABLE. —Sept. 1— WHEAT— Open. High. Low. Close.

Seeks to Recover ‘Bad Coins* of Guard WASHINGTON, Sept. K—The collecting of “bad money" coins which have been Imperfectly minted Is the peculiar hobby of Douglas N. Starr, sergeant or the guard at the War Department. Starrs' collection is thought to be the only one of its'kind in the world. The National Museum has received one collection of 2 0 imperfect coins gathered together by Sergeant Starr, and now he has completed a small private collection, containing twenty-three imperfect coins, tanging from a silver half dollar, minted in 1807, to dimes and pennies of 1920. Ray Baker, director of the mint, has asked Starr to sea this collection to the Treasury Department, either for exhibition or for the coins to bo cancelled as worthless. Starr has refused to comply with this request, and Mr. Baker will ask the passage of a law to compel the return to the Government of imperfect coins. The old half dollar, two dimes with the dates 1575 and 1890, six Buffalo nickels, four of the new dimes, one Indiana penny and nine Lincoln pennies comprise Starrs' latest collection. A portion of the disk is -unstamped on each of these coins, this having occurred when the die which suj-iped the coins was not properly centered. A portion of the coin was Etcmped twice ln two cases. On one of the Lincoln pennies a part o.* the die had struck over an already imperfect coin, leaving two separate impressions, neither of which v*as properly centered. Colony of Cats, Some Dead, in an Apartment BOSTON, Sept. I.—A cat colony—containing forty-two felines, alive and dead, of all shapes and sizes, was discovered when Health Department and Animal Rescue League officials forced their way into the apartment of Miss Letty Austin, at No. 108 School street, Roxbury. Sixteen dead cats, each neatly wrapped in tissue and newspaper, enclosed in pasteboard boxes within wooden cases, Yvere found inside the house, and twentysix other tabbies, very much alive, disported themselves in the yard. On the arrival of the officials Miss Austin herded ail but eight of the cats from the yard into a closet in the house, barricated the door and. seating herself !a front of it, defied the officers to take away her pets. Miss Austin, who is 45 years old, rents the entire building, occupying apartments on the first floor and renting the other rooms. Marriage Licenses Ross Dwiggins.
