GRAIN AND PROVISIONS.

CHICAGO. October Higher quo
tations at Liverpool and week emo
evening up. toward the finish here
tended to give life to wheat values
today. AT the finish wheat was up
n TO IN. with December 1.O1hs to
1.O7A and May 1.09h to 1924: corn
advanced Aa1 to 1 ss; oats rose ssa':
to 81, and provisions were unchanged
to II cents higher.
The wheat market showed
strong undertone throughout the
short session. and while business was
light, the strength in Liverpoo! re,
sulting from the near east political
situation induced some moderate
commission house buying. There
also was some short covering. Liver
pool reported all American offers
made abroad overnight as having
been accepted. with a better milling
demand Considerable week end
evening up got under way toward the
last few traders caring to have an
extended interest out over Sunday in
view of the foreign situation.
Corn and oats were higher in sym
pathy with wheat. corn touching a
new high for the present movement.

NEAR-EAST news
DOMINATES BONDS
High Grade Issues Seem
Toppy, While Seconds Have
Good Prospects.
BY BYRON SELLER.
specIuI Correspoudeut of The star,

Special Correspondent Of The Star.
NEW YORK, October THE in
,estment markets of the week con-
tinued under the sway of the news
from abroad. Undoubtedly the con-
the money market and speculation as
to- the government proposed refund
ing operations had weight with in
vestors. But the fact remains that
quotations from day to day varied
directly as the foreign dispatches
were considered favorable or un-
favorable.
Inasmuoh as the balance OF the
weeks news pointed toward a peace
full solution of the dispute between
Great Britain and Turkey. the price
trend was toward recovery. as that
of the previous week had been re-
dictionary. And yet after both the
movements had run their course. the
net change was very small. If any
thing, in the case Of high grade bond
quotations were slightly lower than
when uneasreSs was at first aroused
over the situation in Asia Minor.
Advance Halted.
If. then. we eliminate entirely the
foreign factors. we find that the
major advance in the bond market
which began some eighteen months
ago. has apparently halted. 1t seems,
therefore. a good time to take stock
OF the general situation.
Fret. there is slowly increasing
demand for money for strictly COM
msrcial purposes. This is certainly
q good sign. indicating. as 1t Does
business revival. 1t is also reassnr-
permanently higher rate for money
is concerned, to note the great reser-
voir of available resources in the fed
eral reserve system. This weeks
statement shows the gold reserve at
the highest recorded figure. All le-
gitimate demand can probably be met
with only a moderate advance in
rates.
Rail Earnings Good.
Bearing also on the business out
look is the fact that the American
Railway Association reports for the
week ending September 20 showed
that the number of cars loaded with
revenue freight was within sc per
cent of the greatest on record. Part
creases in coal loadings. but mer
chahdise and miscellaneous freight
was also offered in much. larger VOL
ume. How far the railroads are go
ing to be able to meet the demands
upon them remains to be seen. Car
shortage showed large increase on
the latest available weekly reports.
UnsettlinE Factors.
The unfavorable factors are. as be-
fore. the unsettled conditions abroad
and the low prices for farm products
particularly wheat. at home. Dealing
with the former, the frank discus
sion Of the international debt prob
LEM, by the American Bankers Asso-
citation this week was distinctly en-
couragine.
AS to- farm prices. 1t is hard to
see how they can long resist the
upward tendency apparent elsewhere
The bearing of all this on the secur-
Evening star., 1922-10-08

ity market is not hard to interpret.
Approximate stabilization around
present levels of quotations for the
highest grade Of investment securi-
ties Is indicated with the market
price of the second grade and more
speculative obligations directly re-
sponslve to the outlook for the par
ticular corporation, the securities of
which are under consideration. Ger
tainly there was nothing to contra
dict this view In the price fiuctua-
tions Of the week.
Liberties Act Better.
Liberty bonds regained much Of the
ground lost the week before. but were
still below the high prices for the
year,
The best of railroad and Industrial
issues showed similar tendencies
Atchieon general 4s and American
Telephone and Telegraph collateral
trust Is are examples. The former
sold between 81 and 92 all the week
against a high for the year Of over
85 and the latter between 80 and 99l2
against a high of over 100.
1t must be evident that only a
change in money market conditions
can affect the price of this class Of
bond. If the government should be
able to float its new loan on ex-
pectedly favorable terms the market
for bonds like these would be slim
ulated. Otherwise there seems no
reason to expect any great advance
at present.
Have Good Chance.
The situation is quite different with
low grade and speculative bonds
Many of these are Ave to ten points
below the high of the year. in most
cases. without any corresponding
change In the financial condition of
f.~,, l,t h hN
particularly the case with railroad
bonds.
Take the case of the Erie. for in
stance. Both the general As and the
three series of convertibles. A. Il. D.
are selling some five points below the
top price of 1922. OF course. the Erie.
like all other coal carriers. suffered
severely during the strike. But this
does not take into account the great
Improvement which may reasonably
be expected for the balance OF the
year.
The continued payments Of interest
on all the Erie's bonds is Just as GER
tain today as 1t was when the market
prices of the bonds were at the high
earlier in the year.
In the case Of the st. Paul the de-
cline is not so large. but there Is even
less reason. The st. Paul's earnings.
while still leaving much to be desired.
show gratifying Improvement.
Absorbing New Issues.
No review of the week would be
complete without some mention OF
the deponstrated ability to absorb
new issues. The sale of the Ameri-
can Gas and Electric additional is
sues of debenture IS is case in
point. Offerings continue on a large
scale.
The totals for September show
bonds. notes and stocks issued to the
amount Of S2S2.351.000. against $3.50
Ol4,600 in August and S255.oS1,20o In
September, 1921.

PUBLIC SKATING Kinks
URGED ON OPEN LOTS
Flooring or Paving of Vacant City
Areas for Such Sport Held
r. Traffic Safety.

0,the Editor Of The Star:
Roller-skating was one Of the joys
Of my childhood. We could not use
the streets because there were few
smooth pavements, but skating rinks
were found In all cities and many In
country towns. and all the boys and
girls, big and little, enjoyed this most
iiealthful sport.
OF course, the little folks should not
skate in the streets. The danger with
auto traffic is excessive, much more
hazardous than In the old horse days.
Pedestrians are not supposed to cross
the streets excepting at indicated
crossings. Roller-skating on the side
walk is hardly permissible. since it
is dangerous for pedestrians.
There are open spaces In all parts
of washington, some city and some
private grounds. Could not this de-
sire of the children for suitable places
to skate be gratified by flooring or
paving some Of these areas and pro-
lection from the weather be givsn by
properly constructed roofs, leaving
the aoors open on all sides. SO that
their sport would still be outdoore?
/ There surely is Q real need for these
skating floors. ana make the sug-
gestion with the hope that it may be
