BUYING OHDERS FLOOD NEW KOI STOGKMfIBKET Steel Common Sets New High Record at 111 Vs * n First Fifteen Minutes. WALL ST. INTERESTS ACTIVE Settlement of Coal Strike Brings United States Steel Back Into Favor. By United Financial Twenty active industrial stocks Saturday averaged 103.43, up .83 per cent; twenty active rails averaged 93.26, up .47 per cent. NEW YORK, Oct. 16.—The Wall Street Journal today says: Saturday’s new high in the industrial average and further details regarding the tremendous oversubscription to last week's treasury offering brought a flood of buying orders at the opening of the stock market today. Steel common was extraordinarily strong, selling at 111% on heavy transactions in the first fifteen minutes. This price represented a new high since the culmination of the post war boom and stimulated activity throughout the industrial list. Rails were also strong under lead of Norfolk & Western which reached anew high for the present move at 123. Transactions in the first half hour were overshadowed by remarkable demonstrations in Steel common, I which was turned over in enormous blocks that suggested operations of Wall Street's most influential interests. Under cover of Steel’s activity heavy profit-taking appeared in progress in other sections of the industrial list, but several specialties displayed exceptional strength, stocks ; like National Biscuit, Manhattan Shirt and Industrial Alcohol selling at around the year’s best. Freeport Texas, which led the list Saturday from a standpoint of activity. reached a further new high j on the move at 27*4 on reports that 1 the company had brought in a 6,000barrel well. Wall Street has been buying Steel common on the theory that the report for the third quarter will be more favorable than expected. United i States Steel was forced to curtail operations as a result of the coal strike and production costs were high. But in spite of this loss it is believed the corporation will show a surplus after all charges, including dividends. Since the settlement of I the coal and rail strikes production has been increasing and steel will no doubt make a good exhibition in the last quarter. Independent companies did not fare as well as United States Steel in the third quarter. It is known one large independent company showed a deficit in that quarter. A banker in close touch with the steel industry says the first half of 1923 will permit the steel companies to make up a large part of the losses sustained during the recent period of depression. LOCAL BANK CLEARINGS Indianapolis bank cleariagrs Saturday vf*re 54,025.000; bank debits were $7,874,000 For the week ending Saturday, bank clearings were $17,950,000; bank debits were $29,918,000.

LIBERTY BONDS POPULAR Reaction From New Government Issue Is Predicted. By United Financial NEW YORK, Oct. 16—Liberty bonds practically monopolized the early bond trading today, the 4% per cent issues being the favorites. They opened from 15 to 20 cents under par but fell slightly in later dealings until they were little more than a U point under par. . The oversubscription for the new 4% per cent government loan showed its effect on the rest of the bond as well as on liberties. There is one opinion that the big government offering will take money from the rest of the bond market and cause a lagging demand particularly in the investment field. Others declare the success of the government offering will act as a hack log for the market. According to advices from Washington enough bonds will be issued to meet the 5500.000.000 of cash subscription. All victory notes and certificates offered will be exchanged for new bonds. No more cash subscriptions will be received but the hooks will remain open until Oct. 21 to accomodate those who wish to exchange victory notes and certificates maturing Dec. 15.

Pigs and sows registered a gain of j twenty-five cents, pigs being quoted j from $9.25 to $9.50, and sows from $8.25 to $8.50.

AKRON.—The British government decision to enforce restriction of crude rubber production in Malaya and Ceylon, which lias resulted in an advance of more than 6 cents a pound to above 20 cents with prospects of substantially higher prices, has aroused the Interest of the large consummers. One of the first reactions is likely to be an early advance in tire prices, now the lowest in history and at levels at which few companies rre making satisfactory profit. NEW YORK. —Standard Oil interests expect the recapitalization of Vacuum Oil to be announced next week.

TEXTILE MARKET ACTIVE Cool Weather Stimulates Buying of Wool and Fabrics. By United Financial NEW YORK, Oct. 16. Cooler weather has stimulated the entire textile market and retailers’ orders are | beginning to assume large proportions. I This is especially true of seasonal | lines such as wool and worsted fab- | rics for fall and winter use but the imj provement prevails to a smaller extent i in all departments. Since many retailers have deferred purchases until they actually needed goods there is something of a scramble to place orders for immediate or nearby shipments. Jobbers also have not kept their stocks ove supplied especially in cottons and the result is many buyers are experiencing difficulty in getting quick deliveries. FAMINE REPORTS EXCITE CHICAGO Heavy Buying Causes Wheat to Take Jump on Board of Trade. By I nitcd I inancial CHICAGO. Oct. 16. —Reports from London stating that 7,000,000 people in several sections of Russia are facing starvation and that Russia is agai napproaching a famine were responsible for heavy buying of all ! grains at the opening of tiie Chicago | Board of Trade today. Prices were i i sharply higher, wheat leading the j I market with un advance of 1% to 2% ! | cents. Wheat quotations were 2% to 2% pence higher in Liverpool and east-| ern seabord buyers were active at the : opening of the local market. Cash! wheat way at a premium and the trade was slackened only by the inability of shippers to move the grain to positions where it was needed. Corn followed the advance of the wheat pit with ease. Considerable potential strength was apparent in corn due to recent estimates indicating the hog supply on American farms was far in excess of last year and few farmers were expected to be heavy sellers of corn. Oats prices advanced fractionally in sympathy with the bullish spirit in wheat and corn. There were few independent features to the trade in oats. Provisions were nominal at the opening of the trade.
