Heavy Liquidation
On Bearisl1 Views
lrn Wheat Trading
-
Canadian Crop Estimate and
Reports of British Needs,
Combined With Lower
Cash Prices, Cause Drops

The wheat market was nervous and
weak, and closing quotations. while
somewhat above the lowest, showed net
losses of 21s to 31zc for the day. There
was heavy liquidation at times and
sentiment was more bearish, with cash
prices at interior markets generally
lower
1t seemed to be the prevailing i'm
preston in the trade that the market
was feeling increased pressure from
Canada. where the crop was estimated
at 289,498,000 by the Dominion Bureau
of Statistics. This estimate compared
with recent figures by other authorities
at from 213 to 249 million and assures
liberal exportable surplus from that
country. Some authorities expressed
the belief that there was heavy hedging
in Chicago against Canadian offers, as
the Chicago market is q much broader
one than Winnipeg.
Another bearish feature Of the day
was q cable from Liverpool stating
that the United Kingdom had already
secured enough wheat to supply it's re-
quirements until the end Of January.
By that time the crops in the Southern
Hemisphere will be available, and in
this connection reports IF further rains
in the Argentine contributed to the
weakness.
The export demand was fairly active
at the decline and sales for the day
were estimated at about 100000 bush
els, including about 100000 Manitobas.
Cash premiums were we'll maintained
in most positions, although offers from
Manitoba for October and Novembe
were somewhat larger. Mills in the
West were said to have bought little
more wheat, although there was moth
ing in the local situation to indicate
any improvement in the -four demand.
In the local cash market No 2 red
and No. 2 hard were quoted at s2.64la
spot c. i. f. track.

Higher L. S. Interest Urged

Eugene Meyer jr., formerly managing
director of the War Finance Corpora
ton, in letter yesterday to Senator
William NJ. Calder, chairman of the
Senate Committee on Reconstruction,
declared that nothing is more impor-
tant for the nation and for the world
than a sane solution Of our pressing
financial problems
Mr.. Meyer declared he is convinced
the public interest demands several re-
forms in the postal savings system.
notably higher rate OF interest on de-
posts and an extension Of the number
OF offices authorized to accept savings
deposits.
He referred to what he called an
anomalous condition in the govern
ments financial system by which it re-
deposits IS per cent of funds received
in postal savings at 2A per cent in
terest and then borrows back the money
cent.

Early Corn Delirery
Weak on Liquidation

The corn market was weak, espe-
cially in the September position, which
at one time was down 5esc from the
previous close There was heavy liqui-
dation by September longs owing to
increased pressure Of cash corn on the
market.
Country offers were liberal, and it
was said that some Of the Western in
dustries were reselling their cash corn
probably on account of poor de-
mand for the finished product.
The December position in Chicago
sold off 21a cents to $1.10, which was
the figure recently predicted BY lead
ing bears.
The excitement following the ex-
plosion in Wall Street was responsible
for some of this selling Of the late
months. and the low point Of the day
was made shortly after the explosion
occurred.
Toward the close there was a partial
rally on covering and final quotations
ranged from 3hc decline for Septem-
Der to unchanged for May.
In the local cash market No. 2 yel-
low corn was quoted at $1.541a C. j. T.

A generally steady undertone was me-

Answer-Both the bonds you possess

No Action Yet ON Defaulted Bonds

Question-some time ago 1 inherited
., per cent $1,000 first mortgage bond Of
the Maryland. Delaware G. Virginia Rail-
ROAD Company. The interest due Febru-
airy, 1920. and August. 1919 was paid by
the Pennsylvania Railroad but the interest
oue August. 1920. has not been paid Bono
time ago ! sent my bond to protec-
tive committee in Maine and 10 date have
received no advice concerning any action
taken or to be taken. Any advice or in
formation you can furnish will be greatly
appreciated.-C. H. A.
Answer--The affairs of the Maryland,
Delaware & Virginia Railroad have
been in bad shape for some time. The
bonds are guaranteed by the Balti-
more, Chesapeake & Atlantic Railway.
The former company has been unable
to meet the interest since 1915, and
up to August /, 1920, the latter COM
pany has made good it's guaranty. The
latter company is in none too pros
porous condition, and while the Penn
sylvania owns the majority stock Of
the latter it is in no way obligated to
pay the interest on the Maryland, Del
aware & Virginia bonds The protec-
tive committee, we understand, has not
yet formed plan of action
