Georgia Leads in

WASHINGTON. Oct. 1I.-Produc-
ton of asbestos in the United States
for 1912 was considerably less than
that OF the previous year. bat the
production for 1919 was the second
largest in the history Of the industry.
The production in 1919 was 1903 short
tons valued at ss7.959. against 1904
short tons, valued at S119.935. in 1911.
Nearly all the asbestos mined in the
United States came from Vermont
and Georgia. although a little came
from wyoming. The finest asbestos
yet found in the United States is in
the Grand Canyon Of the Colorado

Wheat, Corn, Oats
All Lose Fractions
Offerings Fairly Well Absorbed In
All Pits-Bad Weather Begins
In Saskatchewan.
BY JOSEPH F. PRITcHARp.

CHICAGO, oct u-Weary grain
longs were heavy sellers Of the entire
list to-day, and while there were losses
of Is to Is in wheat, "a to l sc in corn
and % to 5sC in oats, the losses were
anything but sensational. Under ordi-
nary conditions, the declines would have
been much greater than those regis
tered, and the fact that the breaks were
only moderate, showed that the grain
was fairly well absorbed. The buying
however, was largely by old shorts.
Northwestern receipts of wheat last
week showed a falling of OF 800 cars
compared with the same week last year
These losses may be accounted for par
TALLY by the fact that holders are I'M
willing to let so Of their grain freely at
the present prices
Bad weather already has begun IN
western Canada and a Saskatchewan
message to-day dec arei that at least
30 per cent OF the grain in that province
had not been thrashed.
While the Old-time bull crowd In corn
was not in evidence in the pit to-day,
these people have not changed their
minds as to the final outcome Of val
ues for the yellow cere8l Those who
put. out short lines may possibly regret
their action before another week rolls
around. Cold weather With sunshine is
necessary to save the Orn crop of the
country and in case Of wet and mild
weather. the losses will be heavy
The feature in the oaLS market was
the changing of long December to May
Provisions closed easy with a mOder-
ate decline for the day.

The next surprise was the weather
map, which indicated the approach Of
severe cold wave oter the West
ern belt, although traders had gone
home Friday night firmly convinced
that no cold wave would develop until
the middle or the latter part Of next
week
The third and most complete sur
prise Of all was that the market, aft
er opening about twelve points higher
and advancing to the level of 1884
for January, suddenly began to weak
en-, prices breaking sharply here and
in New York. The break, which car
ried prices In this market below Fri
days closing level, came without any
particular reason visible, and ii was
the opinion Of those best informed on
market matters that manipulation by
strong interests In New York had
caused the decline, which took place
despite LiveTpoops fine showing, the
unfavogable map, accompanied by an
offiCia report Of killing frost at Bea-
YER okla, and prediction of frost
in Oklahoma over Sunday.
Use Daring Tactics.
The character Of the selling in this
market at the close was such as to
justify the suspicion that certain bear
ism interests IN New YORK mad been
caught heavily short by the sudden
turn in Liverpool. Fearing that II
they attempted to cover in a Satur-
day market in which the trading Is
confined to only few hours a SEN
satiOnal rise would be recorded, these
interests are believed to have resort
ed to the daring tactics Of breaking
the market, with a view of influence
ing Liverpool Monday.
Did the cold wave fail to be as Sc
we're as expected by the bulls, Liver
pool might then weaken, and the in
terests short OF the market might be
able to get under cover without big
losses. Brown and Hayne, the bull
leaders here, lent some support to the
market, but found II hard matter to
rally their following on account Of the
holidays impending both this market

LONG TERM BOND
BUYERS IN FEAR
Of LEGISLATION

In theory the demand for long term
bonds is good, but IN practice II is
bad This according to an important
banker. IS summary OF the present
demand for bonds
Falling Off I'm the purchases OF long
term securities Is due TO the expecta-
ton Of unfaVOIe bic legislation by
Congress during the next three or
five months and a disposition to await
a further clearing up Of the Europe

The investment market however,
is not duh by any means. Persons
with ready cash are buying short term
notes and high grade equipment trust
certificates running from three TO FIVE
years. The demand Is greatest for
the very short maturities
Note Prices Move Up.
Prices OF notes nave moved I'D as
a result Of the buying movement
which Is coming from individuals,
banks, institutions and trust com
pennies, who while anxious to have
their funds earning more than per

perience has shown that first ella ss

tent Of about 81 900 900, 900.

News and Notes
Of the Grain Crops
BY JOSEPH F. PRIrcHARD


CHICAGO, Oct. u-Wbr- the
visible supply Of wheat is enormous
the amount Of this grain held hack in
the Northwest is liberal so a halt
has been called In the market and
receipts are likely TO fall off for some
time. Any pronounced falling off in
the movement to primary markets. II
Is believed, VIII cause much concern
in the ranks OF buyers abroad and
the bulls expect them to meet anv
fair advance asked by holders in This
country.
Russia has large quantities Of aood
wheat for sale, as has Canada, but
those countries are i'm a bettsr nosi'
ton to hold their wheat than thew
were few weeks ago.
Speculation in wheat at Chicago
has been Of smaller volume during
the past fortnight than in MANY
weeks. One of the reasons for this
falling off in trade has been the alb
sence Of hedging sales. a fact that
also has helped no little to sustain
values. Much of the wheat held AZ
Chicago, Kansas City and other mar
kets is in strong hands and the be-
lief is that it wifi not be placed upon
the bargain counter in any of the
Western markets.
The offerings Of oats from Canada
and the corn that is coming from
Argentina are being watched with
considerable interest by those who
believe that the price Of coarse grains
is to do better.
The greatest drawback to the wheat
situation at the moment IS the lack
of demand for flour, which is being
kicked and Cuffed around In an un-
merciful manner and the price is
being slashed in an endeavor to in
duce buyers to take hold moro Tber-
ally. Millers are anxious to keep
their machinery in motion and they
are not likely 10 refuse anything like
a fair bid for quantities OF -four,
Many OF the more important bulls
in corn, including James Riordan.
George H. Phillips and their follow
ing, after switching to the bear side
long enough to secure a few hand
some sCalps, again have become
friendly to the bull side of the mar
ket, and these Spectators, along with
Jim" Patten and a few other big
men, believe corn will sell at a much
higher level than has yet been
reached.
Provisions have ruled quiet during
the greater part of the week and
price fluctuations have been gov
erned largely by the change In hog
values. Cash demand continues slow
for both meats and lard.

Premium for High Grades.
Better grades Of spot cotton. here
and In Texas, are in good demand al

IN the Western belt and in Louisiana,
Arkansas and Miss issippl consists of
low grades. which do not readily at
tract buyers. According to reports Of
buyers now stationed IN the Atlantics,
the crop there is grading beautifully,
and as Texas spot firms are holding
tight to the small proportion of good
grades showing up in the receipts
there, exporters are concentrating
their buying energy in the Eastern
belt
A prominent exporter said to -day
he eou'd buy good grades in Georgia
and Alabama so points lower than in
Texas. He expressed the opinion that
the recent break in values was due
to the free selling in the Atlanties and
that it all depended upon how much
longer Alabama and Georgia would
continue to force cotton on the mar.
ket as to how low prices would go.
Georeians Depress Prices.

ton men here that If the farmers In
those two States realized how short

grades are, they would refrain from
