WEEKLY REVIEW OF TRADE
Opening of New York and London Stock Exchanges
May Not Be Far Of-Grain Market Has Steady
Gain-Mopement of SeasonabIe Commod-
tiles Larger Than Expected.

New York, Oct 2-Bradstreet's report
on the state OF trade tomorrow will say:
The shadow OF the worldwide war is
still cast over finance, trade, and indus
try. Caution and conservativism rule in
nearly all departments. Financial read
}ustment still engages the attention of
the country's commercial captains, trade
is on a hRnd-to-mouth basis, and indus
try, except where foreign war necessities
impinge Is on a slack-water scale. All
measures OF trade and Industrial move
ment point to the continuance OF the
rather painfully slow process of recov-
cry from dislocations suffered when Eu-
rope began hostilities. Still, despite the
fact that speculation Is all Out dead and
that business Is down to bedrock pro-
portions, there is much that is doing
though the trends are Irregular and
progress slow. The domestic crop situ-
alton is one that in normal years would
spell prosperity, with an enormous wheat
a next-to-record cotton and up-to-aver-
age crops Of corn, oats, potatoes and
other fodsniffs.
10 not up to normal Warm weather is
big bar to full activity in sections IA
vored by good cereal crops that bring
high prices, lack of employment affects
demands at Industrial centers, and the
failure OF the cotton crop TO move freely,
with the prospect OF large surplus from
the years probably abundant yield, af-
fects trade In nearly all lines in the
Southern half of the country.
The iron and steel industry is confront
ed by two acts Of dlsslmilar conditions,
an unsatisfactory domestic trade, ac-
companied, however, by a rising export
demand.
Unofficial prices Of cotton here were
lowered this week, and prices at South
ern markets show a steady shrinkage.
How much this was due to the good crop
reports and how much was due to the be-
lief that the immense surplus over do
mestic needs and possible foreign pur-
chases would lend to depress prices, is
not possible to state.
No important change occurred in, the
securities market this week, other than
the relatively large dealings which are
reported to be in progress in the bond
market. and unlisted" stocks under the
supervision OF the committees Of the
Stock Exchange and OF the dealers in
outside securities.

Gary Leaves Southern.

Gary Leaves so1thcrn.
Judge E. h Gary. chairman of the
United States Steel Corporation, has re-
signed from the board OF directors of the
Southern Railway. Judge Gary now Is
only on one board board-the United
States Steel Corporation
In the last two years Judge Gary has
resigned from directorships in the fol-
lowing corporations: AIlis Chalmers Co..
American Steel Foundries, Hudson and
Manhattan Railroad, International Har-
vester Co., Of New Jersey, International
Harvester Corporation, Astor Trust Co.,
Chatham and Phenix National Bank
Southern Railway, Erie. Continental and
Commercial National Bank, of Chicago:
Illinois Surety Co.. Of Chicago and Mer-
chants Loan and Trust, Of Chicago.
In resigning from the boards of all
companies with no affiliations with the
Steel Corporation, Judge Gary has pur-
sued a policy more or less followed by
other financial interests, although pos
sibly more extensive than in most
cases.
New Cotton Plan.
hTe essential feature Of the new plan
proposed for the establishment Of ac-
tive trading in cotton Is the formation
Of a fund, to be contributed by bankers,
to protect the market when business is
resumed on the cotton exchange, and in
connection Herewith encouragement and
assistance will be given to domestic spin
ners to lay supplies of the staple at the
prevailing prices. The banks will not
only advise the spinners to make pur-
chases, but will advance them the money
necessary for that purpose and II large
numbers Of manufacturers can be in
duced to buy supplies sufficient for year
or two the whole difficulty will be close
to a solution.
The Southern banks will. Of course,
be largely interested in the plan for
the re-establishment OF a market in the
principal product of the South, and they
also can render important service by
bringing pressure to bear on the farm

New York, Oct 2-Dun's weekly re-
view Of trade tomorrow will say in part:
The abnormal business conditions ere
sted by the war continue and caution
and retrenchmsnt still halt enterprise,
yet there is a significant growth Of conn.,
dence. Several factors contribute to this
situation. Undoubtedly Improvement in
the financial markets is slow, but 1t is
steady and the measures taken to permit
limited dealings In securities under
stringent regulations, make at least the
partial opening of the London and New
York exchanges a nearer possibility.
Even the suggestion Of this event ere
ates Q better sentiment, so much does
all corporate enterprise depend upOn open
security markets.
Another factor is the active export
movement Of grain. which has q two
fold effect, as It aids greatly in restoring
more normal conditions in international
exchang and contributes nightly to the
prosperity Of the West by insuring high
prices for the large crops raised in that
section. Because of this the West Is
doing better than the East, the latter
naturally being more closely affected by
the suspension OF the security markets.
the check to imports and the dullness
which prevails In the iron and copper
trades. On the whole, the movement Of
seasonable commodities is larger than
might reasonably be expected, consider
ing prevailing conditions, and the situa-
ton really is better than statistics of re-
duced bank clearings and railroad earn
ings indicate.
In the iron and steel trade changes that
have occurred sare in the direction of
further curtailment. Quotations, while
holding fairly steady, do not show the
firmness Of a short time ago, and it Is
believed that in some quarters conces-
sAns would be granted on desirable or
ders.
Local and New England manufacturers
of footwear, as well as those In the West
and Southwest, have received a very sat
isfactory volume Of spring orders.
The general trend Of the wheat market
was towards lower level of values.
War developments appear to be losing
their position as the leading factor. more
attention now being given to the cer-
tainty Of an immense increase In acreage
planted to winter wheat and the rapid
gain in visible supply.

Individual farmers left to follow their

depend upon .0hers for curtailment Of the
whole area under the crop. The banks,
however, can effectively use persuasion
or positive pressure to insure that there
shall not be another big crop before the
surplus from the present crop is ex-
hausted.
The problem to which the bankers have
set themselves is a dIficult one. and II
is not to be expected that q solution will
be reached in q day or two. Progress is
being made, however. and this is a mat

B. W. Snow wires from Chicago as
follows:
my reports are emphatic in their In
dication Of a heavy increase in the acre
age Of winter wheat. It IL too early to
put II in figures, but the Increase prom
ises to be one Of the most pronounced
changes in crop distribution that has
ever been recorded. Rains al the end OF
August and since have put the ground
in perfect shape for plowing and seed
ing, and the feeling that Europe's crop
acreage next year must be materially
reduced is the basis for the remarkable
increase in acreage which Is reported
to me from every section Of the winter
wheat belt Local returns OF from 10
to 20 per cent increase In area are not
at all infrequent even in districts of
heavy Importance, while in localities
where the area Is ordinarily small the
crop will be an important one next year"
The Maryland Steel Company, Spar
rows Point, has been compelled because
Of lack Of business to cut down its
forces and operate only on a. part time.
The steel plant is now rolling only a
few hundred tons a day and working
but one turn in every twenty-four hours.
The mill this week IL manufacturing rails
for the Queensland government railways
Of Australia, the rails being OF q very
light type, Weighing only forty-two
pounds to the yard. Contrary to public
opinion, this order, which calls for about
100 tons, Is not the result of the war,
but a contract which was booked several
months ago.

Gayer Gowns Never
Before on Board Walk

ATLANTA CITY, N. j., April
Sixty thousand persons par
ticipated in Palm Sunday fashion
parade on the board walk. Gayer
gowns and hats never before were
seen here. If there was one
skillet hat there were 5000, and
if there was one string of beads
there were 10000.
Every woman in the throng
wore beads-beads of all colors,
shapes and sizes, glass and metal
beads, gold and silver, pearls and
stones of thousand varieties.
Paris has boosted of the shark
fin hat, but there were dozens of
them here. By shark-fin is meant
the outstanding trimming which
runs around the crown of the hat
and the edge of which is cut zig

its day. In its place appeared in
Vulnerable tier skirts, some with
