Oats were weak in sympathy with
corn, but steadied under improving
export inquiry and rallied on an ad-
vance of . cents at Winnipeg which
followed Montreal reports that 500
600 bushels had been worked there
for export for October November
delivery. Higher hog prices. good
cash demand and support from
packers made provisions strong
throughout.
Buying and selling orders in
wheat were well balanced bur
prices held moderately higher
throughout on good business by
cash houses attributed to new ex-
port business. The close showed
gains of cent for December wheat
and y. cent for March.
Corn opened weak under high
temperatures over the belt which
induced commission house selling
Resting orders for December ap-
peared at s1.19 and buying against
high-priced bids checked the de-
cline at s1.1S12 Reports of further
export inquiries induced more short
covering, causing a rally to around
previous closing levels. but week
end evening upon an extensive scale
caused reaction in the last half
hour. September corn finished q
to 4 cent lower; December off Il to
q cent and May q cent down.
Oats firmed up from their early
weakness on the belief in some
quarters that export demand is
about to develop on a fair scale and
on reports that outside points are
outbidding Chicago. September oats
lost Il to g cent; December was
unchanged, and May gained Il to

American Wooden
will Offer Spring
Lines Next Week
Leading Factor Will Attempt
to Break Buying Dead
lock; Reduction of 2O%
Expected ; to Reopen Mills

The American Wooden Company, the
largest factor in the wooden and wor-
sted cloth producing industry. will at
tempt to break the buying deadlock In
the cloth trade by Offering new fab
RIGS for spring, 1921, week from Co
day. William Wood, president Of the
company, made an announcement to
this effect yesterday from the COM
pany's Offices in Boston.
The announcement also said that the
company's mills, which have been closed
Tor more than month, would resume
work IN the preparatory department on
September IS and other departments
thereafter as soon as possible The
wage scale, according to Mr.. Woods
statement, will be the same as when
the mills were forced to shut down in
July.
Shortly before the closedown. it is
recalled, the American, in common with
other wooden companies, granted it's
workers a ID per cent increase in
wages: The announcement Of a con-
tinuation Of the wage scale, according
20 prominent factors in the trade, is q
direct refutation of the charge that
the mills were closed to force down
the price of labor.
For several weeks speculation con-
corning the date that the American
WOODEN Company would break the ice
IN introducing the new season has been
the chief topic of conversation among
selling agents here representing the
leading cloth mills Of the country. 1t
is no secret that other mills have been
de3erring their openings pending the
announcement of new prices by the
American. Just what level prices will
strike is still a mooted question. but
cloth men and clothing manufacturers
alike expect about 20 per cent re-
duction from the prices that obtained
when cloth for the spring Of 1920 was
shown in July and August of last wear.
Normally, spring cloth is offered to
the trade in July. The two months
delay this year will set back the show
ing Of spring clothing by the mems
apparel manufacturers until Deem
Der. 1t Is expected, and will give them
q more limited time in which to make
up the usual spring supply.

Commercial Credit

Under the title Of "A Warning on
Retail Credits" The Musical Trade
Indicator, Chicago, publishes an cdi
torial advising retailers Of musical in
struments to tighten up on installment
credits in selling pianos. For the
past five years, says the editorial. re-
tail piano merchants have been
gambling with unearned salaries on
three-fourths of the time sales they
have made. Credits now should be
based not on the present earnings of
the customer, but on the manner in
which he has saved his earnings. "The
average person who buys a piano to-
day." according to the editorial,
SHOULD have the money in sight to
pay for it," The argument in the edi
torial is based on the belief that the
present economic position will not be
righted without a disturbance in the
earning power Of large portion of
the population.
Commercial money rates were un-
changed yesterday at per cent for
the best named paper and 81 per
cent for that not so vel! known. Bank
ers' acceptance rates also were un-
changed at the following open market
quotations published BY the American
Acceptance Council:

Cotton Goods Mart Still Dull

Reaction on the governments cotton
crop condition report was absent yes
terday in. the cloth markets. Gray
goods brokers reported no change in
the status. of business. In the cotton
goods markets generally the percentage
condition was interpreted az bullish on
prices, but the bale estimate was taken
as bearish indication. The govern
m ha1ns !. estimate ta Of nearly 100000
trade has bean expecting. This in COM
bination with the carry-over from last
year, has given many in the cloth trade
the opinion that the country will have
considerably more cotton in hand than
IL can consume, especially under the
restricted trade that has been passing
Tor the last two months.
