WALZER United Press Financial Editor NEW YORK, Oct. 15.—Railroad stocks rose 1 to nearly 6 points in the morning trading on the Stock Exchange today, their strength bringing up the entire list. Industrial shares rose 1 to 6 points and utilities 1 to more than 4 points. Volume of business continued light. The turn in the trend of the general market was ascribed principally to the outlook for “something” to be done for the railroads. A high administration official told the United Press “some statement regarding railroad bonds” might be expected soon from the White House. Rail Bonds Advance Anticipating a favorable statement on these issues, traders bought them and railroad bonds generally advanced, their strength in turn having a salutary effect on railroad stocks.

New York Central rose to 60up 4; Union Pacific 115, up 4; Atchison 113%, up 5%; Delaware & Hudson 100, up 3; Baltimore & Ohio 38, up 2%; Pennsylvania 34, up l's; Chesapeake & Ohio 31 Vs, up 2 and Erie 14 v a , up IV*.

International Telephone and American & Foreign Power also were in demand. Commodities were steady near the previous closing levels. Call money held at 2 per cent, unchanged from Wednesday. The tone was firm, however, as some banks demanded a higher rate than the official stock exchange figure.

ROSE FROM SLAVERY TO HEAD CITY FIRM Funeral Services Saturday for John Jones, Negro, 87. From twenty-one years in slavery to presidency of a large city gravel firm is the record of John Jones, Negro, 87, who died Tuesday night at his home, 842 Edgemont avenue, and will be buried at Crown Hill cemetery Saturday. Funeral services for Jones, who was born a slave, will be held at 1 p. m. Saturday at the Negro Baptist church, at Burdsal parkway and Rader street, which he founded. In 1871 he started hauling gravel in a nearly broken-down wagon. Prosperity smiled on his business, which furnished gravel and sand for some of Indianapolis' most imposing structures. For sixty years he lived on a farm north of the city. He organized the John Jones & Son Gravel Company, of which he was president. The body will lie at the church from 10 to 12 Saturday. Survivors are three sons, Cecil F„ Virgil C. and Lark C. Jones of Indianapolis.

DROUGHT YEAR SEES BOUNTIFUL CROPSIN SOUTH Record-Breaking Dryness Overcome by Timely Rains. BY M. E. COMPTON United Press Staff Correspondent MEMPHIS, Oct. 15.—The south and southwest have experienced a record-breaking year of drought, yet crops are bountiful, a United Press survey showed today. The drought has been more severe than last year’s, which caused thousands of acres of land to be laid barren. With only two exceptions, states in the south, midsouth and southwest had less rainfall than in 1930. Despite the hot, dry weather, farmers will harvest record yields of cotton, grains, and row crops. The government estimate places the 1931 cotton yields at 16,284,000 bales and other crops are in proportion. The exceptions to the general rule of deficiency in rainfall were Missouri and Kansas and it was only in the sections around Kansas City that those states had normal precipitation. Rains Were Timely The explanation for good crops, weather men said, is that rain this year fell during the most opportune times of the year, that fertilizer left in the soil last year which had not dissolved because of dry weather, aided growing crops this year, and that marginal land was not cultivated this year because of crop curtailment campaigns, lack of finances and educational programs calling for diversification which resulted in more pasture land being planted than heretofore. During July, the survey disclosed, almost every section of the country had bountiful rains and in many places the fall in surplus over normal years. July, agriculturists explained, is the growing month and rainfall then is most beneficial to crops. The drought last year, records showed, began shortly after the crops were planted and extended throughout the growing months. The drought duration was in excess of 100 days in many places of the south and southwest. Report Damage Light Comments accompanying the reports were: Alabama: “Rains have saved crops, although midsummer drought caused some damage.” Arkansas: “July rains one inch above normal which matured crops more rapidly than average and light showers since have fallen at most opportune times. Rainfall since July 31, this year, far below normal.” Kansas and parts of Missouri: “On the whole, rains were timely this year and prevented complete destruction of any given crop.” Texas: “Pasturage suffered from drought, but in general season excellent for agriculture.” Tennessee (central and eastern): “Crops saved this year by timely rains.” Tennessee (western and parts of Mississippi): “Timely rains boomed crops.” Oklahoma: “There is no general serious crop damage because of drought.”

In the Cotton Markets

(Bv Thomson & McKinnon) NEW YORK. Oct. 14.—Cotton opened from unchanged to 5 points lower this morning. There was good trade buying and equally as much selling, the latter being of a professional character. The south was inclined to sell early, but did not follow up the small reaction following the opening, while on the other hand the trade raised their buying orders materially lifting the market 5 or 6 points above last night’s closing. We note the same disposition among many of the trade to believe that commodities, especially cotton, should be bought at these prices. With the movement into sight mounting to the vicinity of a million bales a week, it is remarkable how little the south is offering. The consumption for September was more than 70,000 greater than last year. Spot demand is good and we hear the basis is higher. Buying on reactions is the popular thing to do now and we are inclined to think well of it ourselves. CHICAGO —Oct. 14High. Low. Close.

CORN FUTURES TAKE LEAD IN GRAIN UPTURN Wheat Shows Uneven Range on Weak Trend at Liverpool. BY HAROLD E. RAINVILLE United Press Staff Correspondent CHICAGO, Oct. 15.—Weakness in Liverpool caused a recession in wheat on the Board of Trade at the i opening today despite firmness in | stocks. Liverpool had a natural reaction in a slight trade. May wheat alone showed strength and advanced fractionally, prices changing but slightly in either direction. Corn disregarded the weakness in wheat and scored a good gain at the start on continued strength in the cash market and a better feeling. Oats were about steady and slow. Foreign News Watched At the opening wheat was •% cent lower to % cent higher, corn was unchanged to % cent up, and oats were unchanged to % cent higher. Provisions were uneven, but mostly higher. The wheat trade is looking to de- ! velopments abroad for an advance in prices. Foreign buying has been in good volume for the past week and the opinion has been expressed that all export sales have not been reported. The far eastern situation is getting much attention. A house with Pacific coast connections bought December Wednesi day. Chartering of wheat boats to | Great Britain by Russia practically j has ceased and that country still is ; using bread cards and rationing is I more severe. Corn Market Uncertain The firmness in cash corn offset | the weakness in wheat Wednesday and the chartering of 300,000 ! bushels to eastern lake ports also was a factor. The pressure on the ! futures is lessening somewhat. Old j corn is being taken by elevator in- ! te-ests and industries. There is no indication as yet as to how the country will market the new crop. Oats were strong until near the close Wednesday when wheat weakened. Charters were made for 135.000 bushels to Buffalo. The market showed independent strength at times and is gaining new friends.
