Gossip among the brokerage houses In
the Philadelphia financial district today
centred around rumors OF schism be-
tween certain Of the city's most power
ful financial interests over the sale Of
the control of the Pennsylvania Steel
Company. IL was averred that at meet
ing held some time ago, and attended by
all parties concerned, the decision had
been practically reached TO dispose OF
the company TO Charles NJ. Schwab
Thereafter certain interests present
changed their attitude and were powerful
enough TO switch the sale to the Donner
faction, as the latter held the much
talked-of option with its unusual clause
giving permission to meet any bid made
by any one else. Since then both sides
have been reticent in discussing the mat
ter except privately. Today Charles M.
Schwab, when asked concerning the pros
poets Of the Bethlehem Steel getting the
Pennsylvania Steel, said he preferred not
to talk. He added, however, that, with
out wishing to criticise any company, he
felt Il would require considerable capital
in order to place the concern on a basis
at which IL would yield good return on
the investment
A further advance in prices for steel
products failed to prevent general reac-
tions in the steel shares here following
the setback In these issues on the New
York Stock Exchange. Both Brill and
Cambria accompanied United States
Steel on its downward course during the
morning, but met support around mid
day and rallied quite sharply In the closing
dealings. Cramp Shipbuilding sold off
more than points before a rally occurred

GRAINS RALLIED
AFTER RELAPSE
Movement From Country Con-
tinues Large-Liverpool
Market Firm

CHICAGO, Oct 2S.-Price movements
were narrow at the opening of the grain
market today, but they were generally
easier. The undertone was bearish. No
change was reported in the Canadian sit
uation and traders were cautious. Wheat
sold freely, with resting orders being
filled by buyers. Outside markets were
reported to be on a par with the move
ments here.
The easing off of the cash market is
said to weaken speculative interest. Bulls
are not despondent and predict a growing
demand which will absorb all of the
American surplus at good prices, Heavy
country movements continue, with fair
weather, and receipts are increasing.
Good weather caused increased selling of
corn, with prices gradually falling off In
the early hours. Sales were scattered.
In the afternoon both wheat and corn
rallied. so that earlier declines were cam
celed and small advances established in
some months at the close.
An increased demand for oats from for
eigners is said to be supporting the mar
ket, although prices are inclined to fol-
low the movements of wheat.
Exports reported totaled 100000 bushels
of Manitobas, 10000 bushels of new corn,
5000 bushels of oats and $4,000 bushels of
made but not recorded.
Chicago cash handlers sold 10000 BUSH
els of wheat, 5000 bushels of corn and
10000 bushels of oats, all domestic.
Firmness in the Liverpool market was
obtained by light arrivals, disappointing
native offerings, a heavy domestic con-
sumption and scarcity of spot Spot was
strong. Cargoes remained steady.
Leading futures ranged as follows:
