BULLS LIFT WHEAT
AS SUPPLIES DROP
Chicago Prices Up Fractional
ly at Close-Liverpool Mar
ket Also Helps.

CHICAGO, Oct. 30.-Decreasing supplies
of wheat in the United States together
with advancing prices at Liverpool
caused an upward trend to-day in the
wheat market here. The closing was
firm at the same as Saturdays finish to
to sc higher, with December $1.15 to
$1.15 and May s1.13B to s1.13A. Corn
finished shade off to &c gain oats
1sc lower to &c up, and provisions
varying from &c decline to q rise of 25c.
Inspired by unexpected strength in
Liverpool quotations. wheat traders in
Chicago took generally to the buying
side at the opening. Many of the
early buyers, however, soon switched
to selling because of reports that the
dry area of the Western winter crop
belt had been benefited by light to
heavy showers. Indications of lessened
car scarcity Southwest counted temper
arily also as bearish factor.
Announcement about midday that the
domestic visible supply total showed
1,595.000 bushels falling off instead of
an unexpected liberal increase gave
bulls an advantage during the remainder
of the session. The upward tendency OF
the market in the late dealings was
helped too by gossip current that export
business was under way and that millers
were buying hard wheat at Omaha.
Corn and oats were relatively, easy
as result of prospective enlarged re-
ceipts of corn.
Heavy shipments of lard and meats
made the provision market average
higher despite lower quotations on hogs.

Another Advance in SILK.

Further advances of from ten to fif-
teen cents featured an extremely active
Yokohama raw silk market. yesterday.
Transactions totaled 1900 bales and
were largely for American account In
the local market, stiffening tendencies
continued with trading slightly more ac-
tive. Although the general broad silk
market has improved considerably as a
result of the advancing primary market,
the recent advances have tended to
check distribution OF plain broad silks.
Buyers appear TO be holding aloof from
the market until conditions become more
settled, and the small current buying
represents only immediate wants of the
consumers. The belief is spreading that
raw silk prices have reached unreason-
ably levels. but importers insist that
further advances are likely.

BUSINESS NOTES
AND TRADE NEWS
Wholesale Trade Continues to
Show Improvement-Price
Trend Upward.

The improved conditions In primary
markets continue and merchandise is on
a firm basis with strong tendencies to-
ward advances, says Thomas A. Fernley,
secretary and treasurer of the National
Wholesale Dry Goods Association.
''Many wholesalers, commission mer-
chants and manufacturers are opposed
to radical advances" Mr.. Fernley says.
''and believe that moderation should be
exercised in gradually marking up prices
il this be necessary. Members of the
association report good business and bet
ter volume of sales than last year, and
are inclined to carry adequate stocks be-
cause of confidence in recent primary
market prices. Some wholesalers be-
lieve that there VIII be marked
scarcity of goods in the next six months.
Most mills are sold up for several
months ahead and are loath to commit
themselves further"

Price Spread in Leather.

A strong demand for heavy feathers
has developed in the last month, ac-
cording to the Merchants National
Bank Of Boston. This is reflected back
into the raw material market" the bank
says, causing an unusual concentration
of demand on the heavier hides and
skins and an unusual spread between
the prices of heavy and light descrip-
tions OF raw stock. The spread be-
tween heavy native steers and branded
cows, for example, which nominally is
only about 2 cents. is now 6 or cents.
Hides and leather have risen to new
high levels. The raw material con.
tinues to keep little in advance of the
manufactured product, and tanners still
complain that they cannot operate
profitably when they figure costs on the
present prices Of hides"

Rug Prices Revised.

The M. J. Whttall Associates have
issued new price list of their rugs,
showing values at slightly higher levels
than at the previous opening. The new
prices are effective tomorrow and are
subject to change without notice. The
company stated that no new accounts
will be opened for less than twenty-five
carpet sizes. 1t was said that the de-
mand for Brussels and Wilton jacquard
fabrics, worsted and woolen, is so keen
that they have been compelled to adopt
a plan of giving each dealer his share of
the production. This will make it impos-
sble to take any orders for figured wool
goods larger than house quantities Other
carpet and rug interests announced new
higher prices several weeks ago.

Sees Good Bu.ines. Ahead.

General business conditions in the
West have improved considerably. and
a good fall and Christmas holiday busi-
ness can be expected. says the head of
a large chain store company. He con-
tinues: 1T may be true that the
farmer has been compelled to spend
the greater part of this years income
upon his maturing notes. but, even so. he
is in much better frame of mind and
able to spend more money than has been
the case for several years. The results of
the improved prices of agricultural
products already are making themselves
felt"
The New York herald., 1922-10-31

Retailers are not taking kindly to ad-
vanced prices. according to the National
Wholesale Dry Goods Association. Only
in the South and Southwest is there any
Willingness on the part of retailers to
purchase higher priced merchandise. and
this change in attitude may be traced
to the maintenance Of high prices on
cotton. In the Northwest or farming re-
gion, retailers reported that farmers
have shown determined opposition to
buying anything at advanced prices.
Staples seem to be about the only mer-
chandise the farmers are interested in.

New York again leads the field with
$1,000 cars and trucks, an increase of
