INGRAM
ARE RAPID THIS WEEK

CHICAGO. September 2.-Fluctua-
tions in wheat were rapid the past
week, values falling to get far in
either direction. September wheat
dropped sharply at one time on scat
tered liquidation and went to 2 cents
under the December Compared with
a week ago, wheat was 7s to 1s
lower; corn was a shade lower to 81
higher and oats shade to Il off.
Lard showed a loss of to 1914 and
ribs were unchanged to Is up.
Local sentiment in wheat was bear
ish most Of the week on account Of
the relatively slow foreign demand
and the general depressing character
OF European news. Hedging sales
against spring grain have been in
creasing rapidly, with farmers selling
freely. The movement on both sides
of the transportation situation. :
Corn showed considerable resistance
to selling pressure and while declin-
ing sharply at one time rallied quick
ly. While the market average lowered
the first part of'the week, reports of
crop damage from hot and dry weather
and private crop reports, which
timated yield as compared with the
governments August l figures, tended
to give the market an upward turn
Losses were said to be heaviest in the
west and southwest. Cash demand
was fairly good and exporters took
liberal quantities of grain from the
west Old corn was sold by the coun-
try rather freely to arrive on the
bulges. but shot off on the breaks.
Foreign demand was only fair.
Oats reflected the action of corn.
Trade was mainly of local character.
September showed relatively more
strength than the December and went
under the deferred delivery.
Provisions averaged lower, l1quida-
tion of September and December lard
being responsible for a sharp decline,
with support more or less lacking.

WEEKS COTTON FACTORS
STRENGTHEN AND STEADY

NEW YORK, September 2.-Interest
in the cotton market here has CEN
tered on the endAugust crop reports
during the past week. The reactions
which carried the price of December
contracts off to 21.S0 toward the close
or the previous week were followed
by rallies on bullish private crop re-
ports and claims of continued de-
terioration in southw estern crop pros
poets.
: Rather more optimistic view Of
general trade conditions was also de-
veloped by reports of an increasing
demand for cotton goods, better pros
poets for an early settlement of the
,hard coal strike, and later by talk of
improving European conditions AS a
result of these combined influences,
the market showed considerable
strength and just before the official
crop fsures were issued yesterday
december contracts sold at 23o5. or
10 points above the recent low level
ana back to the high record touched
on July 3.
Later deliveries made new high
records for the season on this ad-
vance. but the publication of the bu-
reau proved the signal for heavy
general realizing, which caused a
break of about a. cent a pound Local
brokers' reported an increasing trade
demand as prices worked back TO
about the 22-cent level for December,
however. and this had a steadying
influence on the later market
The governments condition of 81
and crop indication of 1O.575,O00
bales was slightly below the average
OF the private reports recently issued
but. for the moment at least, ap-
peared to have been discounted by
recent buyers.
After the first rush to sell had sub
sided consequently. the volume of
business tapered off materially and
traders Were said to be waiting for
some indication as to the effect of
the crop figures on the trade at home
and abroad.
The increased activity of the do
nestic goods market was reflected by
the larger business reported in Fall
River for the week, where sales for
the period were estimated at SOC. 900
pieces. and big business was also
said to have been done in the local
market, possibly the disposition to
sell out long contracts after the bu-
reau report was promoted by recent re-
ports that new crop cotton is being Of
fered freely in the southwest and a be-
lief that it still will be some time be-
fore fuel and transportation conditions
are entirely normal

FORMAL ATTIRE AIDS Wells.

AS consumer purchases of fall ap-
parel increase. il is becoming increas-
ingly apparent that the more formal
STYLES of the new season are to he
the salvation of the wells and veil
ings business. Fine-mesh effects in
this merchandise. more especially ir
made wells. are having one of th'
best advance demands in many sea-
sons. and chenille dots are extremely
popular in connection with them. On
smaller wells these dots are spread
all over, while on larger ones, used
for draping, they are usually seen in
the form of borders. These dots are
frequently colored and contrast with
black or some other shade in the body
of the veil. On some of the lighter,
more hairlike wells French dots en-
bellish the meSheS. These are less
fuzzy than the shenille ones, and are
generally favored in cases where the
veil is meant TO be close fitting.

ESTIMATE SUGAR OUTPUT
LESS FOR THE YEAR 1923
Federal Bureau Figures Production
Will Drop 500, 900 Tons in Sur
vey of World Situation.

Sugar production for the year 1928
will be nearly 100000 tons less than
for 1922. il was estimated today by
the Commerce Department in a sur
vey of the world situation.
World production for 1923 was put
at 100000 tons. as compared with
17,49o.O00 tons in 1922, when the con-
sumption was estimated at 1S,36O.O0O
tons and the carry over into 1923 was
put at 100000 tons. as compared with
the carry over OF 100000 tons from
1921 into 1922.
The abnormal surplus of Cuban
sugar existing last January, the de-
partment declared. has apparently
been absorbed and in addition the
normal amount of the new Cuban
crop has been taken. Revised estf-
mates of world production for 1922.
tons over the earlier estimates, owing
largely to the unexpected size of the
Cuban crop.
But this years consumption" the
department stated. "also has exceeded
all predictions, both in the United
the revised crop figures for 1S21-1922.
the carry-over for 1922 will be not far
from normal. The gradual rise in c.
and f. prices of Cuban raws to the
present level, about double the low
figure of It's cents at the end of 1921,
has no doubt been due to replenishing
of invisible supplies and increased
consumption, and In particular to
European demand"
The rapid distribution Of the Cuban
surplus since the beginning of the
year, 1t was declared. was shown by
the export figures for the first seven
months Of 1922. when Cuba exported
100000 tons. as compared with
100000 tons for the same months
of 1921. while during the same period
the United States exported 1850
tons of refined sugar against est, 900
tons during the corresponding months
the previous year.
Cuban sugar production for 1928
was estimated by the department as
8, 100000 tons, compared with 1000 600
tons in 1922, while the output of the
United States was estimated as 3d.
900 tons of beet sugar in 1928, against

AGENCY TRADE REVIEW.

NEW YORK, september L-brao-
streets review of trade says:
"Irregularity still characterizes
trade. Industrial crop and price move
ments to remarkable degree, but a
rather more confident feeling per-
vades the business community as
autumn draws nearer. Unquestion-
ably the biggest feature of the week
is the actual ending of the soft coal
strike and the prospect that the an
thracite strike is in its last hours.
Satisfaction at these developments,
however, is tempered by the knowl-
edge that the embers Of the railway
shopmen's strike. outside of union
circles pretty generally regarded as
failure. are still an irritating
element. slowing down as they do the
heavy movement Of grain. coal, Iun-

and the Problem it Creates" and
with Governor Olcott of Oregon,
