Rise I'm Oils

Dull Trading
Y
Liberty Bonds React Sharp
Iy and Stocks Close Slight
ly Lower: Otherwise the
Market Was Colorless

Although holiday dullness prevailed
in the stock market yesterday, the day
in Wall Street brought forth a numbe r
of interesting developments, not the
least important Of which were the fur
ther recovery in the oil shares. the set
back in United States government war
bonds and u further recovery in ster-
ling exchange following early unset
tlement.
In the average the stock market
closed slightly lower, but domestic oil
stocks, which of late have ben display
ing an increasingly vigorous tone of
strength on the improved outlook for
the oil industry as reflected in petro-
ioum price advances, continued the up
ward movement in rather impressive
manner. Otherwise the stock market
was colorless. The independent steels
were adversely affected by the publica-
tion of the quarterly report of the
Lackawanna Steel Company, which re-
vealed deficit from operations of
S1,208,275 in the three months ending
with September, compared with a
deficit of S983,127 in the preceding
quarter. Railway shares were neglected
in the dealings, possibly because the
Street is waiting on the outcome of
the conference of railway officials at
Chicago on Friday, when it Is expected
the matter of reduction in rates will
be taken up.
In the news of the day the announce
ment of the United States Steel Cor
poration that it plans to expend s1O,-
100000 on plant extensions, work in
which the services of the idle employ
ees can be utilized, was viewed as
Significant Despite the present un-
satisfactory state Of the steel indus
try, the largest steel-making organiza-
ton of the world is going ahead with
/ It's program of expansion so as to be
in position to take care of the inflow
of orders when business picks up.
The decline in Liberty Loan bonds
at the exchange yesterday was in
striking contrast to the strong upward
surge OF last week. On Monday the
government issues exhibited sagging
tendencies and yesterday they became
much more pronounced, declines in
some of the more active issues exceed
ing half point The movement was
naturally associated with profit taking
on the tighter money situation at this
center. Call money held at per cent
at the Stock Exchange yesterday. AL
though the withdrawal of S26,OOO0 900
from local banks yesterday by the
government was factor in causing
a firming Of money rates, the chief in
fiuence is the continued flow of bank
funds from New York to the interior.
a movement that is attributed to the
interiors demands for money for crop
moving purposes and to the compa ra :
lively low rates that have prevailed
here recently
In the foreign exchange market
sterling rates yielded in the fore part
Of the day, but they recovered before
the close, and cables left off at s3.861s
for net gain Of one-half a cent. The
ether exchanges were irregular at the
close

Look for New Bill

See Promise in Action of
Senate on Boraia Meas
uie; Long Delay Expected

The favorable vote by the Senate
on the Borah bill TO exempt coastw.se
vessels flying the American flag from
the payment of tolls at the Panama
Canal is regarded by shipping men in
New York as the forerunner Of an
other measure to relieve all American
vessels. 1t is expected that the Senate
bill viii encounter a long delay in the
House of Representatives but that IL

and sent to the President for approval
The desire Of President Harding FOR
a postDonement of the legislation un-
I'll the Conference on the Limitation
of Armament is well UNDERSTOOD and
for this reason local shipping men look
for some delay, but eventual enactment

Winthrop L. Marvin, vice president
Of the American Steamship Owners
Association. said yesterday That the
senate vote is in reality a vote of
confidence IN American shipping, and
that it is & matter Of considerable i'm
portance II our merchant marine.
American vessels pay abou. 81 100000
a year IN tolls at TIE cana, j. VAS
sad YESTERDAY, and as most Of tne
companies .lso have transoceanic con
ncctions, dis would in eifcc. be .
subsidy Tor shipping.
Local shipping Mcn are not SO much
Interested in the exemption Of coast
wise vessels. which are protected from
foreign competition, as they are in ac-
ton to relieve all American ships.
But they consider the vote or Monday
as a promise Of favorbale action on
other measures designed to give
preference to ships under the United
States flag.
1t is the belief here that the Borah
bill was selected from among I'VE
measures affecting canal tolls as ,he
one most likely to pass. and that i IS
intended as test of sentiment In Con
gress. Success for this legislation. il

Fear Steel Buyers Will
Wait for Freight Cuts
Observers IN Industry Believe
Reduction in Ore Rates VIII
Mean Little to Producers

The reduction Of % per cent in
freight rates on iron ore from both
lower lake ports and the seaboard. ef-
fective October 20, means little to the
steel trade except as it may point to
lower freiehts on COAL coke and pos
sibly finished Materials" says "Tbe
Iron Age"
While there has been much call
from iron and steel producers for
lower freights as a stimulation to busi-
ness, fear is now expressed in the
same quarters that buyers may be en-
couraged BY the reduction on ore to
wait for similar action on pig iron
and rolled steel, and then to look for
lower market prices. Producers CON
tend that any saving on frcights would
merely act TO reduce their losses, Il
is pointed out also that nearly all blast
furnaces have on hand enough ore
moved on high freights to last until
spring. On all ore shipped after Oc-
toDfr ~ the saving would be rs cents
per Ton of Dig iron at Pittsburgh and
o6 cents at Youngstown.

reports of improvement but in mod

Sweets Company Of America

1t was brought out at the annual
meeting of stockholders of the Swe,,s
Company Of America yesterday tnat
sales fer the first eight months of 1921
totaled s1,218,S42, with profits of S139.-
5l6, or at the rate of ia per cent. It
was further revealed that orders for
the company's principal products -
"toots'e rolls and nut tootsie rolls
have been in excess of factory produc-
ton every month this year, except July,
despite an increase of more than lIU
per cent in factory output. which is
now running at the greatest volume in
the company's history. Machinery and
equipment are now being assembled in
Chicago for d factory, with an immcdi-
ate capacity of quarter of the NV
York plant. Announcement was made
that the number of the company's ac-
counts has grown from less than 5000
to more than 5000. The need for in
creased working capital and plant al
terations has been met out of earnings.

Retiring Treasury Certificates

On Saturday the Treasury Depart
ment is retiring on maturity an issue
of approximately $3.50 100000 of certifi-
Gates of indebtedness. OF this total
about s125, 100000 is held in the New
York district. The Treasury has al
ready announced that the issue of ad-
ditional short-term certificates of in
debtedness and notes will be delayed
until the middle of November, so that
no offering will be made on October 10.
1t is explained on behalf of the Treas
ury that it has on hand sufficient funds
with which to meet maturing indebted
ness until November bills fall due.

British View of Steel

The contrast between the condition..
which existed in the British iron and
steel trade two months ago and those
now prevailing are stressed by The
Ironmonger," Of London. in recent is
sue. in july says the publication,
Factories were taking the greatest pro-
portion OF the worlds business, while
France and Belgium competed for most
Of the remainder. The British works
had not restartcd after the coal STRIKE
and although their commercial depart
ments were eager to secure orders, the
impossibi!ty of guaranteeing early de-
livery as well as the high prices asked
initiated against their doing business.
Now lock at the picture. The German
works are to a great extent out Of the
market. In France and Belgium an ap-
probable percentage Of the productive
capacity has been closed down. IN this
country there has been an increase N
the number cf works which have -a-
started, and in the United States con
dltlons have also improved. Just as
the entry of the German works into the
market last year signalized the collapse
of the high prices that had previously
ruled, so their withdrawal has created
d tendency toward enhanced quotations
on the part OF Continental manufac-
turers"

Flow of Funds to the Interior

Bankers who have made careful

the flow from New York was heavy, and
this week the movement to the interior
has continued without interruptions
