PORKERS ADVANCE 20 TO '4O CENTS

ASSURANCE OVER CREDIT SITUATION BUOYS UP STOCKS Federal Bank Statement Shows Decline in Reserve Ratio. Bn United Press NEW YORK. Sept. 10— In its weekly statement the Federal Reserve Bank of New York showed a decline in reserve ratio to 79.2 per cent from 81.9 per cent a week ago, largely due to an increase of $16,400,000 in discount holdings. \ However, discounts were still considerably below the position at this time a year ago when the reserve ratio stood at 75.1 per cent. The fact that the discount holdings for the entire system decreased $12,100,000 demonstrated that expansion has merely represented shifting of borrowings to this center. Moreover, oversubscription of the treasury offerings and continuance of the local rediscount rate at 4 per cent furnished reassurance regarding the credit situation and stocks on the Stock Exchange rebounded sharply in early dealings today. General Motors jumped 2 , /s to 151, Public Service Corporation 3 to 94Vy and Baldwin % to 121%. Stocks "appeared to have gained considerable technical strength 'toward noon and the general list appeared to be breaking away from its period of readjustment and indications of resumption of the main were observable. Bullish sentiment was strengthened by the calmness with which the August decrease of 60,000 tons in United States Steel's forward orders was received. Steel was well supported around 150 where it had been selling when the tonnage figures were announced. i

CHICAGO GRAINS CHANGE SLIGHTLY Wheat Opens Higher on Liverpool Strength. V Bu United Press CHICAGO, Sept. 10.—Grain prices showed only small fractional changes at the opening of the Chicago Board of Trade this morning. Wheat opened unchanged to % 1 higher on the strength of the Liverpool cables. The fact that export business agaip reached the millionbushel figure yesterday was also a bullish factor. The clear, cool weather over the Northwest and the increased receipts at Winnipeg received little attention. The American and Canadian government will issue official report this afternoon. Corn was very uneven, ranging from % off to % up. It felt the strength of wheat as well as the influence of improved weather over the belt. It is believed that farmers will not move much of their old grain until the present crop reaches maturity, although some of it was received early this morning. Oats ranged from unchanged to % higher in a featureless opening. Provisions opened higher. Commission Row PRICES TO RETAILERS FRUITS Apples—New. 40-lb. basket: Transparent. 75cSI: Dueheas.

HUNTER CAPTURES AND TAMES WILD AFRICANGORILLA Baby Will Eat ‘Right Out of Your Hand, Leg or Any Place.’ JACKSONVILLE, Fla., Sept. 10.— Ben Burbridge, hunting in Africa with gun and movie camera/ saw a monster gorilla crashing through the brush followed by a youngster. What a chance, thought Burbridge. He left the big one to be shot at by the others in his party and launched at baby a flying tackle that would have nailed Red Grange. And baby gave him one of life’s big surprises. For she wasn’t any helpless infant at all, but a young Tarzan who weighed nearly as much as the hunter himself, and every ounce was fired by malicious temper. She wouldn’t let go and Burbridge couldn’t. The baby gorilla chewed his Jiands and scratched his flesh to tatters, but the man wrestled grimly and at length ch6ked her to submission. Is Carefully Supervised So it happened that “Miss Congo” was brought to be domesticated' on Burbridge's farm here and to become the most carefully supervised animal —physically and psychologically—of any on earth. She ik the only gorilla now in captivity, Burbridge claims. The others, he says, soon have died. But Miss Congo seems contented. Robert M. Yerkes of the psychology department of Yale University npent a month studying her. He would not pass upon her mental age, on the human scale, but some of her qualities: “Miss CongcJ*’ can count up to six or eight. She prefers automobile riding to any other sport. Knows Simple Words She has a stram of unselfishness to the extent of sharing her food with her particular pal, an Irish terrier. She has undoubtedly a simple vocabulary of gorilla “words.” She likes “petting” and craves to be held in the arms of Burbridge or of his sister-in-law who lives here. She uses the slides, swings and poles of a children’s playground in the same manner and with the same enjoyment as a child. She ha* logical reasoning power, exhibited in many ways. For instance. soon after she was captured and while she was confined in a shed, she plotted to kill her captor. She lured Burbridge into the shed by giving plaintive cries of distress. Then when he entered the shed alone, she threw her weight in fury at him and all but overcame him. Tamed Slowly The taming of the gorilla to her present state of friendliness was a
