GRAIN MARKET

Chicago. Sept. 24.-Additional sharp
declines occurred in wheat today. AT
first there was influential selling by
commission houses, induced largely BY
extensive publicity on general cuts for
commodities, but the market rallied on
buying, presumed to be against export
business. The advance was hard to
maintain and the undertone became
very weak under selling by Northwest. I.
ern houses which are believed to be
hedging cash wheat.
Recent big export totals were ques'
toned by some, notwithstanding sales
have been liberal. Clearances OF wheat
from Argentina for the week were light,
amounting to only 312, 900 bushels, but
forwardings from the United States
were heavy at 1854 900 bushels. A
dispatch from Kansas City said that
elevators had bought more wheat there
in the last twenty four hours than for
any day In month.
Corn was feverish and unsettled, with
sentiment more mixed around the dollar

FEW SOFT SPOTS
IN LOCAL MARKET
Lehigh Navigation and Storage
Battery Run off on
Light Dealings

There was q sympathetic lowering Of
prices in the local market without the
list developing any special weakness.
In one or two quarters prices were
rather soft, but this apparently was the
result of the narrowneSs Of the market,
rather than because of increasing sell
ing pressure. The action Of the days
operations, however, was governed by
conditions entirely foreign of local
character.
One Of the more surprising turns was
the apparent heaviness of Lehigh Navi-
CATION, which sustained a further de.
cline to 80, or 50 under the top price
made a few days ago. The movement
came in for more notice by reason Of
the recent pronounced strength OF the
etock, and the knowledge Of the inn
provement in the mining situation.
The other movement to attract atten-
ton was the continued reaction in Elec- :
trc Storage Battery, which yielded TO
i2Sl?. or nearly 10 points under the
light and was undoubtedly influenced by
the absence of official Countenance OF
he recent stock dividend story.
Other than the further shading In
Pennsylvania Railroad and Lehigh Val.
/ ley, the movements in the other loCal
shares was without either interest or
signifcance. The utility group contin =
ued to hold ground well, receiving, how
ever, indifferent attention.
The frank reply Of Van Horn Ely
the president Of the American Railway
Co., to the criticism of the management
which sprung up during the controversy
over the refnancing plan, came in 70,
considerable attention. 1t should remov,
any lingering doubts from the minds o
the bondholders who have not accepted
the protective committees plan.

Long Term
Railroad Bonds

When the European War
broke out in 1914 high. grade
longtime railroad bonds were
selling to yield about 47o.
Then followed the food OF
European liquidation and
heavy borrowing by our own
Government. with the result
ing steady decline in railroad
bonds TO conform to the in
ereasingly higher interest
rates paid on new security
issues. High-grade longtime
railroad issues can be pur-
chased to yield return higher
than has been obtairable in
any previous year for more
than a generation. The enact
ment OF the Transportation
Act OF 1920, followed by the
increase in rates granted by
the Interstate Commerce Com
mission. has greatly clarified
and strengthened the railroad
situation. We recommend TO
Investors the purchase at this
time OF long time railroad
bonds.
