York Market


New York, Oct. 13.-Concentrated
buying of special stocks n a broaden
ing demand for standard railroad, rub
Der and sugar shares enabled STOCK
prices to continue their upward move
ment Friday, despite a violent setback
in Standard on Of New Jersey, which
registered a net decline of nearly IL
points.
Speculative disappointment over the
announcement of the directors of the
Standard Oil of New Jersey that no
increased dividends were contemplated
on the new stock when the 400 per cent
stock dividend becomes effective, re-
suited in a flood of selling orders,
as against the years high of 250h es-
tablished earlier in the week. A slight
recovery was made later. Other dom
este oils reacted in sympathy, but
Mexican Petroleum and Pan american
issues were carried to new highs in ex-
pectation Of extra dividend disburse-
ments.
Resumption of dividends on Southern
Railway preferred stock, which had
been suspended for a year n a half,
was indicative of the improved bust
ness situation in the cotton belt.
Rubber stocks made a quick response
to the announcement of higher prices
resulting from the imposition of a high
export duty by British colonial authori-
ties. Sugar shares also moved up in
reflection of higher prices, American
Cuban ane preferred and Manatt each
climbing more than a point.
Equipment shares continued to mount
as orders increased.
Announcement of higher prices for
news print in anada proved a bullish
card for International Paper, which
advanced nearly a point.
Copper shares yielded slightly on re-
ports that a lessening of the domestic
demand had resulted in the metal be-
ing quoted at 1871 cents a pound for
delivery during the next two quarters.
Activity in express shares was accom-
panied by revived rumors of mergers
and distribution Of surplus, American
Express being pushed up more than s
points to a new peak price.
Total sales were 1,116 900 shares
Call money rates continued to ease,
despite the sharp drop from TIA to 75.7
per cent in the federal reserve bank
ratio, rejecting increased demand for
money opened at 5 but softened to Az
ket was quiet and firm, as was that for
commercial paper.
The feature of the foreign exchange
market was the buying Of Norwegian
crowns, which advanced a. points, re-
fleeing the award of approximately
S12, 900 900 by The Hague tribunal to
the Norwegian government on behalf
of 10 Norwegian corporations for
claims arising from requisition of ships
by the emergency fleet corporation dur
ing the war. Demand sterling i'm
proved, and other rates were irregular.

Chicago Market
GRAINS AND pRoy1sroNs

Chicago, Oct. 12-Active buying,
which appeared to be largely for sea
board account, had much to do Friday
with bringing about higher prices for
wheat. The market closed firm at AZ
to one cent net advance, with Deem
Der $1.09ts to $1.09% n May S1.10M
to S1IOE; Corn gained l to rs, and
oats AQB to ~ cents. In provisions
there was a net decline of 8 to Is
cents.
Wheat trading opened with spirited
bidding and few offers. bullish sentf-
ment having been generated by up
continued transportation difficulties,
rendering demand urgent for grain,
corn in particular, that was likely to
get through promptly to the seaboard.
there was heavy selling to realize
profits, and a reaction followed, but
then an enormou amount Of wheat
was taken out of the pit, stabilizing
the market during the remainder Of the
day.
Gossip that 1,5OO,ooO bushels of Can
adam wheat and considerable United
States wheat had been purchased for
values in the later trading. Another
bullish factor as to wheat was the in
dependent strength which the corn
market showed from the start. Bears
wheat values was becoming overdue.
but this view proved, at least tenn
porarily, to be unattractive to the
majority of dealers.
Corn and oats were traded in on a
broad scale, with some new high prices
records for the season being attained.
One decided stimulus to buyers was
an estimate that Argentina a nearly
So 900, 900 bushels of corn for export,
whereas five months must elapse be-
fore the new crop Is available.
Provisions went lower with hogs.
The prices Of futures ranged as fol-
lows:

Wallace of the Department OF Az |
cuIture. Work to that end mas peeH
carried on during the last year, MI
Car,pbell reported, but research
work along those lines is necessary
because sugar cane does not luiis
mature in Louisiana. so that' sliiSe
the composition of the juice differs
from that of cane grown in the trop-
les. special methods Of manufacture
must be used.
working out more efficient meth
ode would result in an enormous IN
crease in the value of sugar cane anu
would be of the greatest constructive
assistance to Louisiana cane piah'-
ers." SAYS Mr.. Campbell. AT the pre-
sent time the production OF sufficient
~ high grade molasses is accom-
plished at the expense of too great
reduction in yield Of sugar the pro
Suction both of an adequate yleld Oh
high quality of sugar and OF moiasses
of acceptable grade is necessary III
order to insure a reasonable return
for sugar cane.
"In addition to developing improved
and more economical methods OF
manufactures better quality molass-
es. the problem Of utilizing bacK-
strap molasses most efficiently mas
been considered At the present time
blackstrap virtually is a waste pro-
duct, and an increased return for THIS
material would give the cane planter
a corresponding profit On his cane
