In the Sugar Market
(By Thomson Si McKinnon) NEW YORK, Sept. 14.—Sugar sentiment is Influenced at the moment by the conflicting reports coming from Cuba as to the possible restrictions of next year's crop. There was considerable expectation that the necessary legislation would be enacted at a special session, but now It Is understood that nothing will be done until the regular session of the Cuban Congress In November. There were many other conflicting statements, which could not be certified. The position of the raw market remains Arm, with a sale reported on basis of 3 l-i 6 cents with Cuban sellers llndlng themselves In a good position, through sales of approximately 400 000 tons in the last three weeks, there is no Indication that the underlying pOsitlou has been altered ana I look for higher prices. night of freight traffic statistics for the /week ended , Sept. 3. These showed car loadings at the highest levels of the year, with merchandise shipments slightly ahead of 1926. This measure of substantial trade revival in progress throughout the country was.reflected in an aggressive demonstration of strength in the main body of stocks at the opening. General Motors issues were in urgent demand, the old stock climbing to anew high at 257*4, up 3>4 and the new shares at 130%, up 3. Steel common also expressed its previous record high, gaining 1% to 157 Vi while du Pont ran up 5*4 to 323%. Indications of a slightly easier tone in the money market helped speculative sentiment in the late morning. Calling of loans proved unnecessary, suggesting that preparations for mid-month settlements had almost been completed. 4 Per Cent Rate Although the call rate held at 4*4 per cent during the morning, an over-supply of offerings was available at that figure. After noon, the rate dropped to 4 per cent. It was evident that out-of-town funds were being attracted by the comparatively high rate at this center. With the return flow of Sept. 15 dividend and interests disbursements due in the next few days, it was felt in banking circles that the peak of the mid-month credit firmness had been passed and definitely easier conditions were predicted for next Week. William C. Durant is not planning to return to New York before the middle of October,. However, he, is taking an active part in stock speculation from arboad. His brokers have been receiving by cable large buying orders for General Motors and United States Cast Iron Pipe.

GRAIN FUTURES STRONGER, BUT STILUJROGGY Wheat Steady to Lower at Close: Corn and Oats Gain Fractionally. By United Press CHICAGO, Sept. 14—Grain futures were stronger'at today's session on the Chicago Board of Trade, but, still groggy from the two-day debacle of lower prices. Wheat lost its strength toward the end of the l session and closed unchanged to 7% cents lower than Tuesday’s final figures; com closed % to •% cents higher and oats % cent higher to *% cent lower. Wheat had a higher opening on stronger Liverpool cables and prices showed gains of 1 cent and more until the last hour, when the little support the pit had enjoyed was withdrawn. News of cold and rainy weather in Canada acted as a bolstering influence, and export business was 1,250.000 bushels. Receipts here were 21 cars. Cash wheat was 1 cent higher. Com worked higher after the opening, and showed better gains all day than did wheat. The strength was largely of a reactionary nature, as weather in the belt was still favorable to crop growth. Receipts were 234 cars. The cash market was unchanged. Oats moved erratically with wheat, only in a narrower range. Receipts were 33 Cfrrs. The cash market was unchanged. Provisions closed unchanged.

BOARD RENEWS CONCRETE ROW New Specifications Are Debated by Members. Works board members today engaged in a dispute over the new specifications for concrete recommended by City Engineer Paul R. Brown. Frank Cones and John W. Friday, board members, declared they were not consulted about the change and “knew nothing of it until it appeared in a newspaper.” Concrete was reinstated in street specifications with increased depth and an added reinforcement requirement. The depth was boosted from 8 to S inches and reinforcement jumped from a requirement of forty-two pounds to sixty-seven pounds for each 100 square feet. Concrete representatives charge' the present specifications are padded, to give asphalt contractors an unfair advantage in bidding. Comparison of bids shows a boost in asphalt and concrete prices followed the change. In Memoriam Notices IN LOVING REMEMBRANCE of Mary Case/, who died 20 years ago the 13th of Sept.
