BY MONITOR.
NEW YORK, Oct. 26.-The stock mar
ket showed more activity and strength
than it has displayed for several weeks.
Although there was the, usual disposition
to ascribe the improvement in tone to
short covering, this view hardly takes
into consideration the increasing Opt
mism on the general situation, which is
always the basis for public interest in
the market. The better outlook for the
settlement of the railroad strike, although
it was not reflected in any noticeable in
crease in buying Of the rails, nevertheless
has been an influence in creating cheer
fulness on the business outlook.
Two OF the most constructive items of
news were not made public until just
before and after the close. The first of
these was the announcement that the
reparations commission and the guaranty
commission had decided to defer further
German indemnity payments until Feb
ruary. where these were due in gold
marks. This not only should have an
effect on relieving the European strain,
but the spirit of leniency at this critical
time should create a most favorable
impression, particularly in view of the
forthcoming disarmament conference. 1t
Will Dc AnlCItSllHS " uOLE nc CuGGt VI
this step on German marks in the course
Of the next few days. The first effect
should be a notable cessation of pres
sure resulting from the Offering of marks.
The other item was the relatively IA
vorable report of the United States Steel
Corporation, which showed net earnings
of S1S91S. 600 compared with an expecta-
tion of about $13O00,0O0 The tendency
is toward recovery as the progressive
gains from July to September inclusive
show.
In the session the oils again were out
standing features of strength, with
Mexican Petroleum making a sharp over
night gain and Pacific Oil selling at an
other new high level. Central Leather
sdvanced in the face of its poor quar-
terly statement. Sharp gains were made
by some of the specialties including
United Fruit, United Drug, Pullman,
Burns Brothers, General Asphalt, both
common and preferred, and several
others.-Copyright 1921, by Public Led

Oct. 30
Wheat-The sea board reports 900 900
to 100000 bushels of wheat for export.
The amount is Insignificant and further
than this it is believed to be in small lots
for completion Of cargOeS and former
freight contracts. There has been no
good export demand for six weeks, the
milling demand has flattened out and the
investment demand is poor and decreas-
ing. The essence of the market lies in
the complete absence OF adequate demand
for accumulations now in sight. Report
ed resales by export interests, heavy de-
liycries on October contracts in Winni-
peg, hedging Of Canadian rye in this
market, re-shipment to United States
ports Of Montreal parcels and financial
troubles In the Southwest are each and
all direct reflection of the poor demand.
Complaints of drought in the Southwest
are increasing in number but have not
increased the buying power in the mar
ket. Receipts at terminals are expected
to run rather small, original shippers
Withholding offerings pending the reduc-
ton in freight rates on Nov. 20. How
ever, there is more than enough wheat at
terminal markets at the present time to
readily supply such demand as new eX-
lists. Without a considerable improve
ment in the demand from abroad, it is
difficult to conceive why prices should
advance.
Corn and Oats-Domestlc demand for
corn and oats is, by no means. important.
Export bids on corn are said to be 2l2
cents below the market However, ma
terial falling off in the movement from
the country keeps cash markets rela-
lively firm. 1t is generally claimed that
there has been S to 10 per cent damage to
corn by mold. borer, etc. At the same
time, 1t is to be noted that the quality
and condition OF new corn arriving at
market is good 1t is also TO be noted
that despite the quality and condition ii
is all sell ng at heavy discounts under
the December, this, of course, being re-
suit Of insufficient demand. The price
Of corn and cats is at a level where sales
are not warranted. at the same time,
there must be n change in the immediate
supply and demand situation before
pr ces can maintain strength.
Professionalism trade in hog products
Is good and holders are rather confident.
4 somewhat better demand developed for
hogs on the early decline In prices. De
spite the cash trade the movement of
hogs Is sufficiently large to supply wants.

WALL STREET GOSSIP BY MONITOR.

The Studebaker report for the third
quarter will be made public this week,
and it is understood will make very
favorable showing. Sales of cars. 1t is
said, were only 1000 less than during the
=, "nud quarter. and earnings are expect
Ell = be trife more than $3.50 i share.
Pune Oil was one of he strong features
In the domestic oil group during trad
ing. 1t is understood this company is
negotiating for the purchase of sub
stantial part Of the Humphrey holdings
in the new E'exia field, Texas. 1t Is I'M
derstood some 100000 is involved in
the negotiation.
1t was reported from the floor that the
buying of Atlantic Gulf and West In
dies was cf an excellent quality, and in
place of the rumOrS OF financial difficult
ties which were prevailed several months
ago. this buying is said TO he based on
an improved financial condition.
Mexican Petroleum was the feature Of
the opening dealings when it scared
above 100 on publication Of the earnings
statement It was reported from the floor
that most of the buying was for the ac-
count Of shorts.
The statement of the Central Leather
Company showed a slightly smaller def
icit than preliminary estimates had fore
cast. There was excellent buying in the
stock throughout the session.
Houston Oil Company for the quarter
ended Sept. so reports earnings a.Cer
operating expenses, but before deDrt cia-
ton and depletion, of $500, 2JS. This was
more favorable than was expected, In
asmuch as during this period crude oil
was selling at its lowest level The show
ing was without material effect influctua-
hons Of the stock.
In the last hour there was extensive
telling Of the rails and equipments. This
was due in part to operations by large
professionals who did not like the recent
rapid advance in the domestic oils and
some of the specialties. This selling may
have been fastened by a statement Of
Charles Hayden, chairman of the Rock
Island, who declared that 1t was unfair
for the interstate commerce commission
to make the experiment of reducing rates
to determine whether increased traffic
might result, at the expense of the
carriers. There was nothing in the state
ment directly bearish, but it served to
attract the attention of traders of the
unsatisfactory situation obtaining in this
section of the market.
Earnings of the United States Steel
Corporationsfor the third quarter were
larger than preliminary estimates had led
the Street to believe. but confirmed the
earlier opinion that the interest charges
and preferred dividends barely would be
covered The most significant feature OF
the display is the constant increase in
earnings for each month from July 2;
the progressive increase was commented
on in important houses as possibly
marking a permanent turn in the in
duJtry The regular dividends OF IA
per cent on the preferred ana IA on the
common stocks were declared.-Copy-

COTTON REVIEW.

NEW YORK, Oct. 26.-The advance to
Ie ginning report, having encouraged
aort covering to a considerable extent,
fit the market in q less favorable tech
ical position this morning and general
ispositioR to accept profits on long con-
racts found a less urgent demand so
hat values were easier today.
There was nothing in the days news
f consequence, other than the weekly
reather report. which confirms the gen
,ral opinion that the picking season is
-e.4 nearly completed, the week having
Jeen favorable for picking and ginning.
An important element in shaping
values for the immediate future is the
railroad strike and this will tend to
make the market highly irregular.
The market may sag some further, but
the spot situation is too strong to war
rant the expectation Of material de-
cline,
