RALLIES LARGELY OFFSET
DEPRESSING INFLUENCES

CHICAGO. October 2s.-Rallies due

fluence of depressing factors in the
wheat market this week. Compared
with q week ago wheat quotations
this morning were unchanged to /
cent higher, with corn up IN to "a
and oats at an advance Of u to
%ah. IN provisions the net changes
varied from 80 cents decline to a rise
of 40 cents.
With the rail strike constantly in
the foreground and alternating in its
effects as the likelihood Of a settle
ment grew and waned, the wheat mar
ket fluctuated nervously and trading
lacked the usual volume. Prospective
delays in transit made shipping con-
dttions extremely uncertain and for
the time being, tended to kill any
chance which might have developed
for q revival of export business. An
unexpected falling off in the United
States visible supply total. however.
helped as a counter balance, and so.
too, did an apparent disposition at
rural points to hold back receipts in
order to take advantage of reduced
freight rates. On the other hand.

the news that the strike call had been
cancelled.
Corn and oats. being on a basis of
less than the cost of production, were
relatively firm.
Packers support upheld the mark ct

The public has not come back into

buy back until they were sure that
the period of depression was at an

customary time. Ordinarily it is not
until the end of November that banks
in the agricultural sections get
through drawing down their balances
at the reserve centers. But this year
the peak of the crop demands already
has been reached.
Bond Prices UP.
1t Is plain enough that still easier
money conditions are in prospect and
that the markets are getting ready
for them. This is shown by the
course of bond prices. which stand
now at the highest of the year. The
fact that the latest issue of Treasury
certificates was taken at AZ to Az
per cent. or a full l per cent under
the rate of last spring. Is very sig
nificant. If the banks are ready to
accept as low as 4k per cent on their
money in this form of investment.
they soon will be ready to accept a
similar reduction in other forms.

Rate Reduction in Prospect.
In the meantime. the Interstate
Commerce Commission. acting upon
the principle enunciated in the de.
cision Of week ago. will proceed
with it's rate reductions and put 1t up
to the roads to Offset these by re-
ducing their costs. The probability
is thus suggested of q considerable in
terval during which the companies
will be operating under conditions
less advantageous than those at pres
ent, with their revenues cut down by
lower rates and yet where they will
be enjoined from reducing payrolls
until the authorities have had the
chance to go exhaustively into the
merits Of the case. In the meantime,
there Is still the unpleasant fact to
face that number of important
roads, even with rates as they are,
are unable to cover fixed charges.
Reports that the November Install
ment Of the German reparations pay

are certainly at variance with the
course of the German mark. which
during the week has again drawn
