The Turning Point

Just, when the market looked its
worst yesterday and a few minutes af-
ter steel common had dropped to 85M,
a new low for the year, call money
dropped to 6 per cent. This rate, the
lowest that has been quoted since June
u, caused a flood of buying orders to
make their appearance with the result
that at the close the market had had
the most convincing rlly for many
weeks The railroad stocks, which af
ter Mondays early squirt had weakened

led the advance with buying orders of
5000 shares not infreouent in issues
like Great Northern, Northern Pacific
and other representative issues. The
strength in the rails was impaired to
the rest of the list and steel closed at
87A, the top price of the day and a
net gain of ". Needless to say the
street went home in much more
cheerful state of mind last night than
on Monday. The impression in broker
age circles was that the rally would go
further unless the foreign news be-
comes worse than it has been.

Topping on Rate Decision

The freight rate decision will un-
questionably mean substantial in
creases in the cost of steel production
and a stitfening effect on steel values,
in the opinion of John A. Topping,
chairman of the Republic Iron and
Steel Company. "The ultimate effect
of the higher cost of production and
the increased cost of carriage to the
seaboard," he said yesterday, twill
tend to have an adverse effect ulti-
mately on exports. unless preferential
treatment t. .tas in Pe way Of fTeisht rates
no question in my mind that the broad
and general effect Of the rate advance
viii be constructive and beneficial, due
to the fact that the great bulk of our
steel production is consumed at home
and provided. further, that when the
details of the new schedules are worked
out they are applied in such q way as
to avoid discrimination between the
various producing sections"

Cotton Down Again

The effect of the foreign situation in
the cotton market was just the opposite
of that in wheat futures. At least, the
possibility of political complications
in Europe was given as the reason for
urgent selling of contracts which car
ried prices down as mucn as ore cent
pound at the lowest. October con-
tracts were weaker and the position of
the market showed that the rally of
Monday was due to covering by traders
who sold short rather than to trade

not TO obllgate themselves for too

Sharp Rise in Wheat

The sharp rise in wheat futures
which traders had expected as a result

came in the first hour of trading yes
terday when March and December con-
tracts sold UP about Is cents. The firm
tone continued throughout the day and
helped prices in the corn market,
where quotations were up several
cents. The export demand apparently
was the basis for bullish sentiment. as
it was understood that the British
Royal Commission was asking export
ers to offer wheat in any position pos
sible. Something like the old-time
spirit prevailed in the pit, with trans
actions at a much livelier rate than
has been the rule since business in
future deliveries was resumed
