KILLING FROST SCARE
 PUTS CORN PRICES UP
Threc to Five Cents Ad- vance-Oats and Pro-
 visions Gain

Chicago. September 1o-Corn jumped up in value as much as Sc bushel to- day and closed strong sssc to Dc net higher at s11ss to $1.191z, December, and s1.1615 to s1.16A May. Predictions of frosts tonight in Illinois and Iowa were chiefly responsible. Oats gained %c to 11sc, and provisions Dc to 40c.
 Waves of buying throughout the day gave evidence of a broader demand for corn than has been witnessed often Of late. Bullish sentiment became rampant in view of the fact that widespread killing frost would mean severe damage to the domestic crop as a whole, the plant being still immature in the greater portion of the chief producing belt On an average the crop Is about two weeks late. Besides assertions were current that the maximum price on corn futures set sometime ago at SIPS would be removed after October i. state ment by Food Administrator Hoover. ad- vocating freer use of cornmeal tended also to give strength to the market It was likewise pointed out that at pres ent there was no corn whatever in public elevators in Chicago.
 Seaboard demand lifted the price of oats. Export purchases were estimated at 4O0,OO0 bushels.
 Wheat price differentia1s will be ad- iusted satisfactorily in the opinion of Howard B. Jackson, head of the govern ment corporation in Chicago. It is his understanding that freight rates will be altered to overcome any present objec- tionable features, and that there will be upward revision of tariffs to the sea- board, with the idea of protecting local needs and saving transportation Here after millers purchasing here must, like other buyers apply to the local agent of the federal food administrator

SLOW SELLING IN STOCKS;
 COTTON MAKES NET GAIN
By c. F. AVERY

AVERY
 days close. The Memphis Commercial- Appeal confirmed private reports in re- gard to very great deterioration dur ing the past two weeks due principal ly to boil weevil ravages In the eastern belt. I saw some cotton today as beautl- fully looking plant as one would care to look at, literally destroyed by the weevil. A friend of mine in Selma wrote me recently he had 15 acres that up to week ago promised 15 bales, but now he was in doubt whether he would make five.
 The early trading saw much of the same character of selling that has been in evidence of late, but there was great CT absorptive power than for sometime past. It is understood that most of the larger short lines are still intact. A few days more of flrmness by spot holders will bring this element to cover and a substantial advance will result.

Ice in Minnesota

St. Paul, September 10.--Light to, kill ing frosts are reported from all sections of the state today. according to the statement of the local weather bureau. In some sections in the northern part of the state the temperature was so low as to cause ice to form.
 Persons well acquainted with crop con ditions assert the corn in the section needed at least two. and in some cases three weeks of rather warm weather and considerable damage may have been done. Throughout the state heavy dam- age was done to late garden crops
 In southeastern Minnesota and west ern Wisconsin 1t is reported that the frosts were so heavy ns to do serious damage to corn and to totally destroy the garden crops.

By Cs b'. The copper shares showed a better tone today. It was understood that the government would advance 221kc. which was construed to mean 8 price of 25c for the metal. There are those who, either have greater facilities for informa- ton, or being gifted with greater presci- ence. regard the present attitude of the stock market as discounting peace in the not distant future. IT this be sound reasoning the decline in stocks. together with the recession in commodity prices, should be regarded as g very favorable outlook for the reason there should be no drastic readjustments to be made when hostilities cease

Hubbard Bros. & Co.'S Letter

New York, September 10.-Today the market absorbed the hedge selling at the opening, through the demand from the local traders who felt that the market was entitled to a reaction from the de- cline of last week and because of the re- ceipt of reports of deterioration which are usual in September. The colder weather in the northwest led to specula- tion as to the possibility of an early frost, so that with the assistance of some western and Wall street buying on reports of a storm in the western Carib- bean sea. the prices advanced some 40 points from the lowest point. A portion of the advance was lost on reselling by the buyers of the morning. Most of the sentiment was in favor of a further reac- tion of the chance of storm or of de- terioration from wet weather rotting the bolls or from weevils attacking the new growth.

v
 MT. Ousley, Assistant Secretary of Az riculture, in commenting on cotton, says:
 The market is now affected by the usual rush to sell 8 new crop. A con- tributing factor is the greater value in- yolved, for it requires twice as much money to finance crop now as it re-. quired four or five years ago. Financiers are accustomed to think in terms of 10 and 12-cent cotton and cannot easily bring themselves to think in terms of 20 and 25-cent cotton. They do not readily recognize ratios and relations; they are prone to consider the old basis of 2 or cents as loan valte; they do not visualize cotton in dry goods now selling upon basis Of 30 to 40 cents.-Kofler to Stewart.

Hutton's Stock Letter

Slow liquidation continues. Copper stocks have steadied up in price. If the government has been willing to advance 221h 1t is a reasonable argument that a price of 25 cents may be looked for. In setting a price as to what is to be paid for steel. copper and iron, the question of wages Is to be considered. Copper miners are being paid on 8 basis which would mean a reduction In wages with any material reduction in the price of the metal This would mean strike and the administration wants no more strikes on their hands at this time. Many well posted people think this Is a peace market we are in. It Is fortu- nate for the holders of securities that a reduction in commodity prices has been discounted, and that we can go on a peace basis without great dislocatton in prices
