Especial Dispatch 10 Morning JournaD
tCopyright 1921 by Albuquerque journal
Il New York, Oct. S.-The Incl
dents of the past week have been
mainly favorable, taking the sit
uation as q whole. A further ad-
vance in oil prices, continued inn
provement in the position of the
copper metal and an enlargement
OF operations at the steel mills
have been the important contri-
buttons in the trade movement.
They furnish further testimony TO
the change for the better in The
main business outlook. Three sue
cessive advances in oil quotations
within a ten day period, making a
total increase of rs per cent, point
to a much greater degree of sue
cess in the campaign for reducing
output than anybody outside of the
trade had believed possible. For
the strength in the copper indus
try much credit is due to the cop
per export association, the ac-
tivities of which have made posi-
BILE the large trading with Ger
many and Japan, and more re-
Gently with France which Is main
n accountable for the heavy in
roads which have been made into
the enormous unsold supply of six
months ago.
The steel corporation is now OPP
Grating on an average Of 80 per
cent as against 35 a week ago--a
Very respectable gain. Another
five dollar advance in sheet steel
prices is scheduled for october Is.
In these ways it has once more
been demonstrated, as it has so Of
ten in the past. that consumers
will not buy on a falling market,
that the influx of new buying comes
when, after a prolonged decline,
the mills begin 10 mark up their
quotations.
Improvements in Exchange.
The simultaneous recovery in
sterling exchange, in French eX-
.change and French government
bonds indicate a rather better feel
ing in financial circles, regarding
the German PREPARATIONS problem,
What the basis for this feeling is,
however, has not been disclosed.
1T may be the negotiations report
ed under. way between German
JIldluldCluItISd anu llltl IlldillS anu
an American banking syndicate for
a loan secured by German mer-
chandise. On the other hand, If
these negotiations are really far
along and promise successful Is
sue, 1t is hard to understand why
there has not been more of a re-
coverv in the German mark. We
still have both in German and
Austria the rare spectacle of a fu-
-rious buying movement. The pop
ulation seeing the currency sink to
comparatively nothing-measured
in outside values-is drawing Its
cash out of the banks and flingins
it into any form Of investment that
can be purchased.
Securities are bought. regardless
of value, for the purchaser feels
that however unsafe they may be
at their present heights they are
better chance than cash or bank
deposits redeemable in the cur.
rency of the realm. The result /:
an anamolous situation where, fol

Wheat started weak and made

the market sagged until December

Sentiment was mixed and the news
generally bullish, export demand
being reported slow and Canadian
northwest offerings liberal with
big receipts in prospect at Winni-
peg next week.
The turn came Unexpectedly and
shorts, who sold freely on the way
down, were driven to cover. To
the usual week end evening sales
were reports that India, ordinarily
an exporting country, had bought
two cargoes of Pacific northwest
wheat with further trade in sight.
There was also a report that Italy
would be back in the market on
Monday.
Corn and oats moved in parallel
lines under stop loss selling, the
fact that new No. corn is deliver
able under December contracts in
creasing the pressure on that OPP
