STOCK LETTER By R. Allyn Lewis

There has been a great deal Of snort selling and a certain amount Of nqul- dation General Electric which has been out of line declined ' points. Beth lehem B sold at 100, a decline from the high of 55 points. People are beginning to look at the capitalization Of this company three years ago and compare it with that of today and wonder whether they have not gone little too fast. Steel has been conspicuous TOT it's strength. It was sold down Tn sym pathv with general weakness but re- covered on very light trading. Tnlngs are chaotic-many conditions are not right but we are discounting a whole lot. The extreme radicalism in the sen ate has passed away. We think there will be a change of heart perhaps in the house and the administration will realize that the way to get big output of steel and coal, and get big income taxes paid and the Liberty Loan over subscribed is to allow the business men to make their profit as well.
 There are plenty of bull arguments in spite of the weak market. Crops promise to be a billion bushels larger than a year ago. Gold exports are to be under government regula tion. There 's really no news coming forward. It IS the liquidation left over from the for mer bull speculation. Peace talk IS dying out Shorts are having a loose rein and they often in fact nearly al i, ..vs overdo that side of the market There is no support to the motor shares
 The buying of copper stocks during the last few days has been what Wall Street characteriZes as good" That is to say it has come from people in to ,ch with deN elc oments in the inons- try who sold out their lines of copper stocks when the stocks were up 20 or more points from the recent low levels and who figured that the time had ar rived when the best of the coppers should be bought again.
 Rumor has it that Calumet and ter ome is booked for a quick and sub stantial advance. The buying recently has been by people well informed, and who have generally been right in the i past.

CHICAGO GRAIN

CHICAGO, Sept S.-Broad demand for corn resulted today from cold weather that increased danger of crop maturity being too long delayed to es- cape killing frosts. The market closed unsettled, l to 1% net higher, at 115B to 115% for December and $1.11A to s1.11% for May. Oats bulged F to B to l cent and provisions to 1712 cents.
 Investors purchased corn freely, and shorts also covered on a large scale. Prospects of continued unreasonable low temperature until the middle of next week inspired much of the buying and caused forgetfulness of the govern ment estimate of the largest crop on record.
 Active call from the seaboard did a good deal to lift the value of oats. Rural offerings were said to have increased somewhat on the advance, but still re- mained comparatively scarce. A large proportion of the crop was reported to be yet unthreshed.
 Protests against the lowness of the basic price of wheat as fixed for the Chicago market brought an answer to- day from the government food ad- ministratOr.
 President Griffin of the board of trade said. communication was being analysed by the transportation commit tee of the board. Receipts here con, tlnued scanty, and were absorbed by millers.
 Provisions in response to the govern ment report showing a reduction of more than 5,0O0,000 hogs on farms as compared with year ago. Close:
 Corn: Dec, $1.155s; May, $111%.
 Oats: Dec, 573sc; May, 60asc.
 Pork: Oct, $43.22; Jan, s42.40.
 Lard: Oct, $23.72; Jan, $2255.
 Ribs: Oct, $23.72; Jan, $2152

Late local peaches were in the Pnoe- nix market yesterday. They met with a brisk sale They were of the cling varieties. solid and of excellent quality. Other leading fruits in market were local and coast watermelons, local pears and grapes.
 The de nand for vegetables was heavy and in consequence the market was well cleaned up for Sunday. The most of the vegetables came from the coast, but it is the opinion of produce men that new crop stuff from local growers will begin to reach the market in quantity this week.

FINANCES AND MARKETS
TEeoubIIcan A. p. Leased wlrel

NEW YORK, Sept S.-Financial speculation favored the longs during the gceater part of today's brief stock market session, with an urgent inquiry for shares which have recently been targets for bear raids. Gains ran from 1 to points in recognized favorites like the steels, oils, tobaccos and gen eral motors
 Pool operations were resuped with some confidence and the shorts were sufficiently impressed with the char acter of the buying to cover freely in various quarters. A successful bear raid later against Bethlehem Steel, to- gether with liquidation of investment issues such as General Electric, Pull man and American Telephone caused the market to relapse below the pre- Vious close in many cases. General Electric scored an exceptional decline of nearly eight points.
 Large amounts of Bethlehem were unloaded. forcing the price down Az to 100. The stock closed at q three point loss
 Supporting orders and a drive against the short interest caused a viz orous rally in the final dealings. Total sales 2S5G00 shares. Bonds were irreg- ular with the liberty loan selling at 99.S4 to 99.92. Total sales par value aggregated $1,450,000.
 U. s. bonds were unchanged on call on the week.

Nevertheless returns of a majority of the important transportation systems point to record earnings for that per iod by roadstrave rsing western and southern districts.
 Steels. cOppers and the many other industrials and equipments which form the great bulk of the so-called war stocks were under persistent pressure, but recovered in part on the defeat of unfavorable legislation.
