REPORTED CROPS IN
INDIA HAVE FAILED
RumOr Has Much to Do
With Bulge in Prices.
Corn Advances

Chicago, October 2o.-Reports from In
dia that crops had failed had much to do
today with bulge In prices of wheat
The market closed steady at an advance
of Aq7sc net. Corn wound up with a
gain of 5s@7sc and oats dearer by ss@He
to Nc. The finish in provisions was rreg-
ular. varying from sc decline to gain
of 5@71sc.
Bulls took control of wheat from the
start. Receipts northwest were much
smaller than last week or last year, Rus
sian shipments were lighter, and there
was a decrease in stocks on ocean pas
sage. Big export clearances from the
American seaboard counted also against
the bears, but 1t was the scare about In
dia which lifted the market to the highest
level of the day.
Drought in Argentina tended to sustain
prices and acted as an offset to late re-
ports that the crop failure talk in rega "a
to India would prove to have been exag-
gerated. 1t was said growth there 1ad
hardly begun. Nevertheless, final quota
tions were within 1s@14c of the top figures
of the session.
Corn syInpathized with wheat Rough
and country buying were of con-
siderable assistance to the bulls. In ad-
dition, houses huslSing returns looked dis
appointing, local stocks were being re-
dueed and the visible supply showed a
big drop.
Oats rallied on account of the strength
in other grain. The bulge. however.

Although provisions displayed some
frmness because of active investment In
lard, much of the advance was afterward
lost Offerings by holders were liberal

THE RAILROAD LIST
PROVES HEAVIEST
Ease With Which Prices
Were Depressed Dis
cOuraging Feature

New York, october 2o.-Hopes that the
rise in stocks late last week was the
prelude TO a sustained upward move
rnent were eXtinguished today. For a
time after the opening prices rose slight
". This was largely under the spur of
buying by London, which took about
|lo,000 shares on balance A few stocks,
|including Denver and Rio Grande, Erie
Zfirst preferred, Rock Island preferred and
cAmerican Car rose point or more. But
ft was soon apparent that no .broad de-
mand had developed. The shorts ceased
buying stocks to cover and put out new
fines instead. The market turned and
early advances We're soon replaced with
|iosses. The list was well under Satur-
days close most OF the day, although a
Hate rally reduced losses and In some
cases cancelled them.
The discouraging feature, from the
point of view of the bulls was the ease
with which prices were. depressed. The
railroad list was heaviest and such stocks
Ias st. Paul, Lehigh, Reading, Pennsyl-
wanna, New York Central and Union Pa
|cifit were off 1 to 2 points at the low
Figures of the day. New Haven, which
Dropped to 49, reached a new low record.
Pennsylvania's heayiness was associated
with further reports that the company
was planning a billion dollar mortgage,
though there was no official informa-
|tion.
The coppers were benefited temporarily
|by an advance in the metal in London.
During the recent slump in the price or
warrants abroad a large short interest
apparently was built up and covering
was believed to be the main factor in
|today's advance.
Foreign exchange rates advanced slight
