WHOLE GROUP OF FAVORITES JOINS ’ IN MARKET RALLY Wednesday's Recovery Clears Speculative Atmosphere for Further Advances, The WALL STREET JOURNAL NEW YORK. Sept. 6—Wednesday's sharp rally having given expression to the best financial opinion that the Japanese catastrophe would have no harmful effect on American business, stocks were free in today’s early dealings to reflect favorable developments in the home trade situation and buoyancy was especially marked in pool issues and stocks of the calibre of Davison Chemical, Loose-Wiles, WillysOverland preferred. Gulf States Steel and the Alton issues, suggesting confidence had been restored regarding the underlying position of the speculative structure. Record car loadings reports also had a bullish effect. First Hour Trading broadened in the first hour but little activity occurred in the rail section, aside from the Alton issues. Gulf States Steel advanced into new high around on the movement in the wake of a bullish demonstration in the steel group, based on orders coming in for emergency building in Japan and Lbiscuit stocks continued to feature the * specialties with National reaching a further new high for the year. LooseWiles also showed further gain, as this company’s average earnings on its common stock have been in the neighborhood of $5 a share. Second Hour New leaders were found in the late morning when some of the first hour favorites hesitated. Locomotive ispues developed special strength in response to continuance of record freight traffic and Baldwin made a new high for the week while American within a fraction of its year's high. Can stocks also acted well. Con tlnental establishing a. new high for the year and oils displayed a fairly steady tone in face of further gasoline reductions in the California dismated no change in the Federal Reserve rediscount rate was contemplated. * Noon Hour Stocks maintained a strong tone in the noon dealings and continued progress on the upside was made by Steel, Dupont and other market leaders. Davison Chemical scored a twopoint advance when given a clean bill of health by the Stock Exchange report which absolved the market for this stock of any suspicion of manipulating. With the main body of stocks displaying confidence in the face of continued disturbances in Central Europe, the Balkans and the Far East, bullish sentiment slowly gathered renewed courage. ’ Fourth Hour While stocks did not maintain the forward pace set In the noon dealings during trading in the forepart of the afternoon, the list remained steady and no selling occurred. Reassuring word from Secretary Mellon that Japan was wholly able to withstand the economic shock of her recent catastrophe helped matters considerable. as American manufacturers are of the belief that American industries will be called upon to fill many large orders for steel and other materials during the period of reconstruction. Closing Hour Davison Chemical, Continental Can and other leaders proved their strength In the final dealings by advancing slightly, after having been quiet In the early part of the afternoon. However, the list did not advance much after the noon rally, but stocks managed to hold firm at the day’s best levels. Despite the fact that the day's rally lacked some of the snap of that of Wednesday, very satisfactory gains were made during the session by representative issues such as Continental Can and Dupont. Twenty active industrial stocks on Wednesday averaged 92.95. ap ”3 per cent; twenty active rails averaged 79.66, up .70 per cent.

RYE STRONGEST IN GRAIN TRAOE

Wheat and Corn Both Show Strength—Provisions Firm, Hy United Financial CHICAGO, Sept. 6.—A1l grains displayed strength and closed fractionally higher on the Chicago Board of Trade today. There was a little r alizing late in the day but all deliveries in wheat showed a fairly firm undertone at fractional gains. Varying reporta were received from Canada. The minister of agriculture at Ottawa was reported to have predicted that western Canada would raise the largest wheat crop in its history. September deliveries of corn were fractionally (lower, but the later months registered fair advances. According to an lowa State crop report, moderate to excessive rainfall was general in the corn belt and sunshine below normal. The prospects for the crop was reported poor to fairly good. Oats were fractionally higher. Provisions firmed up late and there was some buying credited to foreign accounts. The strongest of all grains was rye. Ftreign buying, probably due to the fact that rye is the cheapest bread grain, was in evidence., Chicago Grain Table —Sept. 6 WHEAT— PreT. Open. High. Low. Close. close.

Grain Briefs CHICAGO, Sept. 6.—Traders favoring the maintenance of high prices for com say that inasmuch as farmers have not sold old corn freely while prices are high, and old crop prospects in leading sections good, they believe there are lighter stocks back in the country than for year*. As No. 2 yellow corn is 4c over September, shorts are nervous and with light receipts are covering. Maintenance of good cash premium* for wheat in all markets Is creating an uneasy feeling among the speculators and in some quarters there is less disposition to sell short. Most commission houea here are pessimistic on wheat and com. Thomson & McKinnon said that the exportable surplus of wheat In the United State* with an increase in wheat acreage in South America and probable imports of Canadian wheat combined with the lighter exports and other factor*, there seems to be no prospects so; higher price*. Many trader* are inclined to the friend y side as prices in Chicago are lower than r the Southwest or Northwest. The Chleag' market appears to be in an Intermediate pn eillon Prices are too low- as compared with winter wheat in the Southwest and w spring wheat values In the Northwest Th< winter wheat moement is expected to dr crease and that of spring wheat to inereas Under these conditions there is a disposltlo to go slow on both sides of the market so the present.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

Business News

NEW YORK. Sept. o.—lnquiries for steel continue to be recelvod from Japan. The first inquiry asked for prices on 300,000 picul kegs of nails (about 10.000 tons). 18.000 tons of sheets. 12,000 tons of tin plate and 5.000 tons of pipe to be used in reconstruction tvork. Steel producers here expect that Japan will shortly need larger tonnages of rails and track material as well as cars and locomotives. This inquiry has not developed definitely as yet. Well informed Interests here say that no inquiry of structural steel for permanent building can be looked for this year, not for six months at least, but business along these lines is anticipated in 1924. NEW YORK—U. S. Steel subsidiaries, in the second half of August booked orders for more than 200,000 tons of steel rails. Ralls, tin plate and sheets, pipe and wire are the most active products at present. No change in steel prices is likely in the near future. PITTSBURGH—The American Sheet & Tin Plate Cos. opened its books today for fourthquarter business. Prices On black sheets, galvanized iron and tin plate are the same as in the third quarter. WASHINGTON —Net operating income of 193 class one railroads for July totaled $84,591,400 which represents an annual earning rate of 4.93 per cent on their tentative valuation. In the eastern district the carriers earned at the rate of 5.60 per cent, in the south 5.20 and in the west 4.05 per cent. Earning rates for the same 193 roads during July 1922 were at the rate of 4.12 per cent and in June 1923 at 5.47 per cent. NEW YORK—Now that the open market money rates are reflecting the credit demand for harvesting purposes, talk is heard in some quarters that Federal Reserve rediscount rates may be marked up It is unlikely however, that any such action will be takefi at present While fixed period funds are naturally stiffening moderately because of increased demand, mainly for agricultural purposes. Federal Reserve officials are entirely satisfied with the credit situation and are said to be of opinion there Is no just cause for increasing rediscount rate* at this time. Bankers In the financial district do not look for any advance in rediscount rates this fall. What will occur later will depend altogether upon conditions existing air the time. NEW YORK Following a meeting Wednesday of United States Steel subsidiaries. Judge Gary stated that the subject under discussion wns adjustment of wages He said "There is a good deal to be considered, and nothing can be said for publication vet The readjustment of wages is going on satisfactorily, and without serious friction " He added that the corporation s returns were very good.
