WHEAT PRICE AVERAGE
IS HIGHER THIS WEEK

CHICAGO, October 7.-Cncertainty
as to peace or war with the Turks
has had much to do with max ing
wheat prices average higher this
week. Compared with a week ago.
wheat this morning was up s4a2ss,
corn showed a gain of l Is az y az y
oats 11sal7s advance and provisions
a rise OF 10a4J.
For the most part wheat fluctuated
according as developments in the
near east became more or less threat
ening. but yesterday an exception was
noted, the amount of new buying on
that occas sion falling to prove sufh-
cient to absorb profit-taking sales
and increased bear ventures due to
successive preceding upturns in
values These upturnS had been slim
ulated in some degree by bullish esti-
mates of the 1922 yield of corn in the
United States and by better domes-
tic -four trade. as well as by increas-
ing demand for wheat available for
ready shipment to Europe through
ports on the Gulf of Mexico.
Rail and lake transportation diff
cultias rendered the wheat market
more perplexing to forecast than is
usually the case. Lake freight
charges for wheat rose to the highest
point ever known, and exporters at
sented as curtailing offers Of wheat
abroad. the unlikelihood of getting
supplies on time being a decided him
drance. Relief from a drought that
has delayed the sowing of winter
wheat tended to ease the market a
little as the week drew to q close
Buying of corn was on a broad scale
during much of the week, with cur
rent crop estimates acting as the
chief incentive. Oats moved up with
corn.
Packers buying. supposed to re-
fleet shipping business, gave a lift

DIVIDENDS ARE FACTORS
IN WEEKS RECOVERlES

NEW YORK. October 7.-Stock
prices made q rapid recovery this
week. making up approximately rs
per cent OF the losses sustained in
the reaction which extended over
three weeks.
Several Influences contributed to
bring about this result, but appar-
emily the most potent was the declara.
tion of stock dividends by the
Standard OIL companies Of California
and New York, the former doubling
its capital and the latter declaring q
the par value Of the stock from 800
to $25. This action brought about q
heavy speculation in oil shares,
which undoubtedly had q bouyant ef-
feet on the rest of the list.
Except for another threat Of
Of the week. tho news was largely
favorable. Renewal of comparatively
easy money rates. a general increase
in factory operations, car loadings

movement in history. higher com
untitled tonnage OF the steel corpor-
alton would show a substantial in
crease when the figures are published

sentiment.
The course of the market plainly
lAdt TIC recent feoCI1On
was a correction Of an over-bouRht
condition, which was aided by Q war
scare" in the near east. The volume
of trading on the stock market dur
ing the past week was tho highest
in about four months. This was the
result of an enlargement of public
buying and resumption of pool
operations, which were largely sus-
pended during the reaction.
Predictions that the new tariff
would result in higher prices for
some commodities bore fruit In the
announcements during the week Of
increased prices for refined sugar
and for some of the products Of the
American Woolen Company.
Reports Of the Federal Reserve
Bank indicate q steady increase In
the demand for commercial credit.
Some Of this undoubtedly IL due to
seasonal requirements arising out Of
the movement of crops, but most of
the new bills coming into the local
market are drawn against O. wide
variety Of commodities.
Foreign exchange rates fuctuated
considerable during the week, re-
fiecting not only the trend of events
in the near east, but the offerings Of
a large volume Of cotton ana grain
bills against export shipments in

below cents q hundred on heavy
selling abroad. Canadian dollars

WEEKLY TRADE REVIEW.

NEW YORK, October 7.-Dun's
review of trade says With few ex-
ceDtions, major movements in bus
mess continued in the direction of
Improvement. Recent weeks have
brought practically general ad-
vance, following seasonal lull In
different trades and a setback in
some industries through labor
troubles, and sentiment is unmis-
takably stronger. While uniformity
Of gain in volume of transaction is
lacking and though obstacles to
progress are still present, activities
in various quarters have expanded
considerably and in certain instances
the best previous records have been
closely approached or exceeded The
noteworthy demand for railroad ma
terial has remained an outstanding
feature, about 100000 tons of rails
having been ordered for 1923 dellv-
cry and large quantities of rolling
stock purchased, and production of
both pig iron and steel has recovered
substantially from the low level of
the summer.

Law Result.
BY STUART r. WEST.

NEW YORK, October 7.-Ordinary
reading of this mornings European
news would certainly have suggested
that the Turkish situation was to
become again a factor in the market.
But Wall street took the foreign eX-
changes as the proper index to I'M
portant opinion on that subject. Elk
change rates, so far from rejecting
apprehension, were distinctly higher.
No doubt the possibility of unpleas-
ant developments over Sunday ac-
centuated the usual disposition to
clear up speculative contracts at the
week end, but there was no important
selling in any quarter
On the contrary, the special buying
movements, which have been fea-
ture on the stock exchange all week.
were resumed.
Standard Oil of New Jersey was bid
up violently. anticipating stock
distribution in it's case. Mexican Pc
trcieum had one of it's characteristic
run-ups against the short interests.
Rubber stocks were in demand as
result of a plan to curtail production
of crude rubber, which already has
had a pronounced effect upon prices.
Shippinss Break.
The shipping stocks broke sharply
on the administration order pro-
hibiting liquor not only on Ameri-
ran vessels but on foreign ships
entering American ports. The de-
cline did not go far. however. be-
cause Wall Street reasoned that this
vas a move calculated to create a
more favorable sentiment in Con-
gress toward ship subsidies.
In the last hour realizing sales
began to exert more of an influence
and the greater part of the list went
lower.
Butte Copper and Zinc.
Butte Copper & Zinc officials are
reported to have made some sort
of a deal with the Anaconda COM
pany which will mean much to the
smaller company. Butte Copper and
Zinc is not so much a copper mine
as it is producer of lead. zinc and
silver. The company also is pro-
ducer of manganese. Butte Cop

with both zinc and lead selling at

The Steel Corporation is a big

ness.

What Happened to
Mr.. Baker!

Mr.. BAKER was married

representative Of an out-of-

derived from his employment
for the past year permitted
him to put away a tidy sum
for the proverbial rainy day.
Added to this, a relative died
and he found himself heir to
$4,000.
Upon the advice of some of
his friends he was prevailed
upon to invest these funds in
a security which, at the time,
was paying a large dividend.
