TRADE PROSPECTS
BRIGHTEN IN WEST
Good Prices for Grain Crops
Stimulating Business in
Other Lines

Chicago, Aug. GA greater degree
of optimism charactcrizes trade senti-
ment in the West. and confidence is be-
ginning to come back in many lines in
spite of adverse features. 1t Is be-
lieved that with the heavy marketing
Of grain crops the country will begin to
buy again after a long period of re-
luctant purchasing. Retailers expect
more activity in the farming districts,
and this, N turn, will stimulate busi-
ness in other lines.
Winter wheat has been marketed on
a scale never before witnessed, and
considering conditions in trade gener-
ally. farmers have obtained good prices.
In fact, the current level Of prices would
have been considered extremely high in
pre-war times. Other grains are not
bringing the prices, proportionately,
that wheat and rye are. but, neverthe-
less, substantial money returns are
flowing into the rural communities and
loans are being liquidated with con
sequent easing of the tension in that
respect.
One reason for the expectation of
better trade is the fact that supplies Of
many kinds of merchandise are SO low
that replenishment will soon have to
pc IL HtCtsslly. AHOtHeF TpUSOn Is tlDt
the country is coming to the conclusion
that prices for many commodities have
reached bottom approximately, reliev-
ing buyers of the fear that they will
load up only TO see another cut in
valuations. This has been the fear that
has kept buying on hand to mouth
basis for so many months and justi =
tiably.
Money rates here are steady, with
commercial paper 61a to 6aI per cent,
collateral 0h to Z per cent, and 61A
to per cent over the counter. Col
lections are fairly good.
Wholesale and jobbng trade reports
show little more hopetulness. Stocks
are low in many sections, and there is
more disposition to load a little more
extensively. The mail lorder house sales
however, are not encouraging. showint
big reductions for July compared witt
that month in 1920 However, NOR,
activity in that line Is expected n,
farmers receive returns for their 1922
crops.

OUTSIDE INTEREST
LACKING ON CURB
Prices FIuctuate In Narrow
Range--oils DuIl--Mines
Attract Little Attention

New York, Aug. 8.-Business on the
Curb Exchange market was OF the same
quiet character that prevailed on the
Stock Exchange, outside interest being
small and fluctuations in prices in
nearly all cases being confined to q
narrow range.
Glen Alden Coal showed firm tone,
with sales at 35$ and 35A, and Inter-
continental Rubber was In good de-
mand, selling at 7h to tx. Southern
Coal and Iron also was well maintained
with. sales at 21a. United Retail
Candy, which dropped to yesterday
on the announcement Of material reduc-
tions in prices by leading candy manu-
factnrers. was traded in at 51s on a
small scale.
Dealings In the petroleum stocks were
on a. small scale, most interest being
attached to the continued LIQUIDATION OF
Standard Oil Of Indiana, which CON
tinued its reaction, selling down to TON.
Guffey Gillespie was unchanged at IL.
A few sales Of Elk Basin were made
at 6A. International Petroleum was
steady at liz.
The mining stocks showed decreased
interest. The Interborough per cent
notes made little response to the an
nouncement OF an extension Of the rate
OF interest to 3 per cent and were
traded in at S0A and 80.

PRICE CHIPPING
IN LOCAL MARKET
Wider Inquiry for Bonds En-.
couraging Sign of Return
ing Confidence

Mainly as result Of the extreme mar
rowness Of the market there was frac
tional price chipping in most of the
local stocks. Dealings were exceed
fngly small and with one or two cxcep-
tons transactions comprised miniature
odd lots. Pennsylvania Railroad was
again offered more freely, evidently by
small discouraged holders. with the
stock falling back to 37ls. Electric
106K. Union Traction went back to
3d. while Philadelphia Rapid Transit
on few transactions rallied to 1879. T.

Railways was OF point from the pre-
yious sale at 8.
One of the most encouraging devcIop-
ments from local viewpoint and which
10 accepted as precursor of rapid
re- establishing Of the equilibrium of
the general situation was the signif-
cant and material improvement in in
vestment demand. The more pleasing

NEW YORK BANK STATEMENT
Impaired Reserve Position Corrected.
Surprising Large Loan Expansion

The reserve position of the New York
Clearing House institutions was ma
terially strengthened this week. A sur
plus Of $40, $50. 200 in excess Of legal
reserve requirements was shown in
contrast with a deficit of S13, ,221 ,120 a
week ago. This resulted largely because
of the increase of 500 ,297 900 in the
reserve credit at the Federal Reserve
Bank and with the reduced liabilities
with the contraction of S6,966,00 in
demand deposits. The surprising ex-
pansion of $40, ,322, 900 in loans and
discounts evidently reflected increased
borrowing at the Federal institution
rather than the broader stock market
dealings earlier in the week.

that they would explore ali the posi-
