All u. S. Feed Crops
Are Heavy but Hay
Increases Great Enough to
Supply All Allies, Says
Food Administration

WASHINGTON. Oct. 1.-THE Food
Administration is gratifed by the
bumper grain crops, which promise Gil
adequate. supply Of feedstuffs until the
next haves. IL handled iudiciously.
Hay alone, il was asserted at the ONCE
of the Food Controller to-day, does not
show fine increase. The estimated In
creases this year over the 1916 produc-
<ion were stated to be: Barley, $4,000
600 bushels; corn, Sos, O00, 900 bushels;
oats, 1923 100000 bushels; rye, 100000
bushels.
The increases, 1t was indicated, are
not great enough 20 permit Of reckless
consumption nor OF any but the most
limited expectations to the neutral
if the necessities OF the
Allied nations. as we'll as those OF the
United States are TO be properly cared
for. The shortage CT hay will result In
the consumption Of larger amounts OF
grain by livestock, while it is also de-
sirable to conserve the largest amount
possible on account OF possible reduced
production next year. IL was intimated
that the further the question OF sup
plies is studied the less appear 70 be
the chances of the neutral countries OBJ
tanning any substantial amounts Of
feedstuffs from the United States.

trade buying which carried both De-

high ground for the season. Az Z''ooc

October to 2S.O7c, with the general
list showing net advances Of II to 80
points during the early afternoon. De-
mand from trade sources then appeared
to be subsiding. which stimulated the
realizing of speculative longs, with
December selling off TO 2Il7c IN the
late trading. The close was few

Cereals

Wheat.-Advices from abroad seem
quite confident regarding the question
of food supplies. Broomhall estimates
that North America will have an ex-
portable surplus OF 400, 100000 bushels
of wheat. Australia will have about
l2O, 900, India has large reserves
and the coming Argentine crop prom
ises surplus of about l44,000,000
bushels. The problem abroad is, there
fore, one Of transportation, which, how
ever. is serious one and makes Amer
lea the most accessible market. The
movement here continues rather dis
couraging. More talk is heard Of
bringing wheat TO the Pacific Coast
from Australia, and this may simplify
the matter of moving the crop from
that country and liberate more wheat
for shipment from the last American
crop.
Con.-Price changes yesterday ap-
peared to be due more to technical
conditions than TO any real change in
the situation at large. Early in the
day the undertone was distinctly weak
and prices were on the down grade
under continued selling on the part of
commission houses. Toward the close,
however, the market developed firmer
tone. with active buying by early
sellers. and final quotations were at
the top Of the day, with net gains Of
2, 10 lc.

Metals

The pig iron market has been char
acterized by more general and more
cheerful acceptance of the government
prices than has prevailed in the fin
ished and semi-fnished markets, &C
cording to "The Iron Age" Sales of
basic have included 10000 tons in the
Philadelphia district. Some buyers
who have bought iron at high prices
are asking TO have their contracts re-
adjusted, but this has not generally
been done. There is still a good in
quiry for copper metal and requests
from the regular trade for allotments
are being made in large volume.
Current spot prices for few of the
principal metals and metal products,
compared with those prevailing at the
corresponding time of last year, follow:

peratures were higher and conditions
were unsettled, with threatened rains.
The country was not offering corn with
any degree of freedom, and it is still
an open question as to how the early
movement will develop. There seems
to be little doubt but that the supply
of merchantable corn will be large, but
with the domestic trade now holding
out for the new crop there seems TO
be every probability of an early de-
mand. which will tax the ability Of
the railroads to move the corn, and
some authorities believe that there
NAV be a condition developed some
