MARKET SHORT OF FEATURES IN NEWS AND PRICE Humble Coca Cola Shares Reach New Level, but Sensation Is Slight. GERMAN MARKS WANE By MONITOR. NEW YORK, Sept. 2S.—Nothing of importance developed in the stock markec Tuesday either from the standpoint of news or price movement. Nothing could demonstrate the Insignificant nature of developments on the floor more than the fact that the sole mild sensation of the day was provided by anew high level on Coca Cola which touched 37% and reacted to a small net loss. The further weakness in German marks figures somewhat in market discussion, and the bullish feeling on the railroad shares was tempered by vague fears of a strike. Iu the early session the bulls in oil shares derived some encouragement from advances in crude prices and it was hoped to translate this economic development Into an advance in the oil stocks. Nothing of the kind developed however, a bear attack on Mexican Petroleum was blamed for the failure of the group to respond to the improved demand outlook. The day was marked by scattered selling of j specialties, including the tobacco shares, ! U. S. Industrial Alcohol, Baldwin and Studebaker. Marine preferred showed a good deal of firmness and American International steadied somewhat in sympathy. For the first time in nearly two weeks there was a lessening ‘of active investment Issues, with general tendency of bonds moderately reactionary.—Copyright, 1021, by Public Ledger Company. WALL STREET GOSSIP. NEW YORK, Sep'. 27.—There was little gossip as there is little movement in Tuesday's stock market and such developmen s as affected specific issues were of small effect. The wholly professional character of the trading was indicated by action of the copper stocks. The American Brass Company has boifght 5,000,000 pounds of copper for OotoberNovemher delivery at 12% cents per fiound. This is the first large purchase n more than two months, and it is understood the company has another inquiry in the market for a similar amount. The copper stocks actually declined fractionally on the announcement. Allied Chemical and Dye was depressed some weeks ago on a report the dividend would be pßsse 1. Th-ir directors met and declared the regular quarterly dis- j bursement of $1 a share, yet the stock failed to equal Its recent high price. An unexpectedly favorable showing was made by the i'nited States Smelting and Refining Company when the directors met and declared the regular dividend of 1% per cent on the preferred stock. Weakness ir. Mexican Petroleum in the early trading was responsible, according to traders, for the failure of the in- ! dependent domestic oils to reflect the in crease in prices of crude announced dur- j ing the - day. Independent producers in j Kentucky advanced their quotations 101 cents a barrel and the Joseph Seep ; agency in Pittsburgh, advanced their sev- : eral grades from 10 to 30 cents a barrel. | Large blocks of Island Oil and trans- ' port were treely offered at $2. anew low * record, but firms making the offerings declared they know of no change In the affairs of the company which warranted the selling. It was believed, nevertheless, to represent insido liquidation. Cuban cane common sold off about a point on the announcement of the new ' plan for financing. According to a cir- ; cular sent to debenture holders, they are asked to allow anew loan of $lO.- j 000,000 to bo made which will have pri-! ority over their security, and in exchange will receive 8 per cent annual interest instead of the 7 per cent now paid. Bank loans of some $18,000,000 it is said, can be largely offset by sales of large holdings of raw sugar and the new loan will provide working capital. Recent strength and activity in New York, Ontario & Western was explained when the directors inet and declared a dividend of 2 per cent on the common stock. The new rate doubles that of last year. Selling of General Electric a month ago was based on semi-reports that the volume of the company's business bad declined very largely. The ease with which the stock recovered its loss aroused some suspicion iu the minds of traders that the decline was for the purpose of aoeumlating stocks. This feeling was to an extent confirmed when the Western Electric Company reported sales for eight months of $122,000.0*10 practically the same as for the same period last year. In analyzing railroad earnings for August and September, statisticians are calling attention to the difficulty of making comparisons with the same months last year. In August 1920, the railroads had to pay the retroactive wage increase granted by the Interstate Commerce Commission and the earnings reported during that month were the worst of the year. In September the increase in and passenger rates granted by the were In effect and that nionttr showed substantial increases in gross. A comparison of the I'nion Pacific report for' instance, shows that for the month of August the annual rate of earrings was 17.03 per cent and for eight months 11.20 per cent. Southern Pacific shows 9.25 per cent annually based on the August report and 5.00 per cent for the eight months period. Baltimore & Ohio shows a slight deficit after allowing for the 4 jier cent now being paid on the preferred. In the Cotton Market NEW YORK, Sept. 28.—A renew-al of heavy buying by the trade eaused first prices to advance 17 to 42 points at the opening of the cottou market here today. Therp also was some purchasing by New Orleans. Liverpool and Wall street, which was supplied by offerings from the South and room traders, the latter selling out long cotton bought yesterday.

SUGAR STOCKS SUSTAIN LOSSES Steels Also Lower—Coppers Strong—Rails Unchanged. NEW YORK, Sept. 28.—Weakness in (he sugar issues was a featuro of the irregular opening of the stock market today. Price changes, however, were small and trading continued restricted. American finger dropped 1% points to 58% and Cuba Cane Sugar yielded to 7%. The steel shares were slightly lower, Baldwin yielding to 86, while Steel common, after selling up to 79%, quickly sold down to 79%. The copper shares were strong. Railroad issues were little changed. The Mexican oils were again lower, Mexican Petroleum yielding to 97%, a loss of nearly 1 point, while Pan-Amer-ican Petroleum sold at 45%. (By Thomson A McKinnon.) —Sept. 27—■ The action of the stock market today was not of a character to call forth any extended comment. There was a moderate amount of buying and selling through commission houses. The professional element provided most of the activity. To the investor who is interested mainly in the ultimate result, the action of Mexican Petroleum or some other member of the pyrotechnlcal group makes but little difference. There are, however, many problems surrounding the market, and those are worthy of thought and discussion. We have the ever-present question of credit to foreign nations, for which we are well prepared with a record-breaking stock of gold. We have our railroad problem and our tax problem and our tariff problem and not the least among these we have the unemployment protlem. which is now under consideration at Washington. We are of opinion that milch gtwid wili, result from the present conference. The spirit of optimism is as desirable now as it will bp profitable in the end. The stock market may mark tune for a while. CLEARING HOUSE STATEMENT. NEW YORK, Sept 27.—Exchanges. $708,900,000; balances. $48,800,000; Federal Reserve Rank credit balances $37,700,000.

SEPTEMBER PORK FEATURES MART Corn and Wheat Show Weakness—Oats Unchanged. CHICAGO, Sept. 28.—Strength in September pork was the feature of the opening of the Chicago Board of Trade today, opening prices for this product being $1 over the previous close and a \ further gain of s<> cents being recorded' during the first half hour. Scar' itj of ■ offerings was :i factor in the advance. Wheat started unchanged for September; unchanged to %c higher for December. and %0 %c lower for May. Trade was light. Weakness in September corn had a depressing effect on other deliveries. Trade was quiet, with opening price* %c down for September: unchanged to %c off sor 1 December, and %e down for May. Oats started unchanged, with a small, trade. Except for the strength In pork, hog products were about steady. (By Thomson A McKinnon.) —Sept. 27 Wheat Clear weather Is expected to faciiiate the movement of spring wheat to the market Because of this and the sb'-enco of foreign demand, wheat prices were very easy in th*> eurly market today. Tiie decline in prices, together with a cut in freight rates and a little firmness in foreign exchange, permitted a modern amount of export business, which eventually served to steady the market It has been claimed that exporters had surplus ocean room contracted, therefore it may be assumed that some of the buying by exporters' is for the purpose of completing freight contracts. There is sufficient milling demand to keep current receipts at good premiums, but there is no evidence that millers are buying freely of the deferred deliveries. The re appearance of some export interest may steady the market temporarily, tint we arc not inclined to expect a snfficient demand from abroad to keep "lines advancing Corn and Uats -Better weather will probably increase the movement of corn and oats from the country, adding to an already heavy cash situation. Not only Is the September delivery of both corn and oats at unusual discounts, but the current receipts are also slowly losing the premiums Claims of damage to corn by bore-worm are in j creasing, but are ignored. These markets are much in need of strong incentive, if prices are to advance. Provisions The action of the provisions market is in the nature of a natural reaction, rather than any important change) in tho situation. There Is a general | belief that hogs will continue coming | to market rather freely. CHICAGO GRAIN TABLE. —Kept. 27 WHEAT — Open. High. Low. Close.

STEEL OUTLOOK GIVES PROMISE OF BETTER DAYS Slight Improvement Over Recent Weeks, Say Late Reports. Special to Indiana Dally Times and Philadelphia Public Ledger. PITTSBURGH, Pa.. Sept. 28.—Steel manufacturers as a whole are attempting to get prices back to a level that will not result in loss in operations. Tne Industry recognizes recent price levels were lower than were Justified by reductions in labor and other costs. Some makers of hoops, bands and strip steel have announced an advance of $5 per ton. It cannot be said the advances named by most of the Independent sheet companies on sheets has established prices, for some companies are stlU taking business at lower quotations. With production about 30 per cent o£ capacity a constant improvement has boon maintained over recent weeks. The ste*l corporation is operating at about 35 per cent. The Tennessee Company 1* doing much better than formerly, and shows an operating rate of about 55 per cent. The south has been coming back in the matter of steel buying, somewhat more quickly than the rest of tha , country. The heaviest operations last week were) the sheet mills of the American Kheet and Tin Plate Company to 70 per cent. Demand continues chiefly for jobbing distribution and for manufacturing consumption. There is some improvement for steel for construction purposes. Demand from Jobbers is particularly strong in the South aud Southwest, though there *s a fair demand from all sections. Among manufactuYing consumers the agricultural implement industry is at the bottom of the list. Automobile demand is fair. The electrical industries are relatively quiet, as to actual purchases, but during the week increase in Inquiry came from this source. Finishing mill operations have gained more than the mills supplying them. No Increase has occurred in production of semi-finished steel. The Jones & Mc-j Laughiin Steel Company has put in blast an additional furnace at its Woodland plant. The Wheeling Steel Corporation bes doubled its operations as of Sept. 1. Mills producing heavier rolled products gain more slowly, but some large structural work taken by the American Bridge Company, including 14,000 tons for the New York Federal Reserve Bank, has increased in production of structural shapes and plates by the Carnegie Company. An inquiry by the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad is for 2,000 hopper bodies, which will require about 12.000 tons of steel, mostly plates, and 2.000 underframes for box cars, which will require 4.000 to 8.000 tons.—Copyright, 1921, by IftibUc Ledger Company. EXCESS OF WOMEN , DUE TO BIG WAR , CAUSES PROBLEM Prof. Geddes Sees Possibility of Morals Decline With This Surplus. LONDON, Sept. 28.—Woman must ts regarded as any other market commodity—butter, eggs, wheat, cotton or stocks and bon-Js. Her "worth” in society—the respect man has for her—depends exactly upon tho demand. Just as tho law of supply end demand governs the price of butter and eggs. If the present surplus of unmarried women, resulting from the world war. continues her value will decline and civilization will be threatened with disaster. In this exceedingly blunt manner Prof. Patrick Geddes, eminent English sociologist. deals with the problem of what to do with the ten million "surplus” women of Europe, a problem that has stirred the minds of leading French and German sociologists ever since the after-war census statistics showed its gravity. WOMEN THE THERMOMETER. "Civilization is high or low, according as women are at a premium or at a discount,” says Professor Geddes. "In the present circumstances our one hope la America. There women are not so numerous. There is keen competition for them and they choose their own husbands They are more highly respected, and if they retain that respect they will make their influence felt iu Europe, despite the seemingly hopeless situation of many women here.” Other English social workers generally reflect Professor Geddes’ views. With one accord they reject the suggestion by a French writer that Euror>sn nations should "save” their unr arrlageable daughters by legalizing polj piny. “The gravest and most urgent need of our times is to give the women who can never marry somethin*- else to fill up their lives.” says Miss Lillian Barker, director of a women's employment and training committee. “There are hundreds of thousands of women who cannot marry and who. unless they are helped, cannot get a job. Who can blame them if, iu order to live, they fall hack upon their one remaining asset?” PROSTITUTION* ENCOURAGED. The same fear that thousands of women will soon be forced to the streets was raised by a delegate to the meeting of the British League of Nations’ I'nion. She openly charged that the Government is encouraging prostitution by driving girls out of positions in Government offices and industries. Miss Margaret Bondfleld. secretary of the Federation of Women Workers, does not think the situation is as bad as It is painted. ‘‘We can avoid disaster,” she says, "if we interest these women in social work, child welfare, maternity work and administration employment of many kinds. Find Skeleton of Baby Eagle Kidnaped LONDON. Sept. 2.8.—A partial solution of a 1914 mystery has been made by the discovery of the charred skeleton of a child’s body on the highest mountain in the Bennachie group in Scotland known as the Mither Tap. A child of 2 disappeared while at play and a search within the radius of thirty miles proved futile, the belief being that th- -hlld had been carried away by f.y> es or else by an eagle. *. is believed the baby was carried away by an eagle, because It was too young to have wandered two miles up a steep hillside deeply covered with undergrowth.
