Wall Street. New York, Nov. l.
Lower prices throughout the oil de-
partment were again the rule in
the trading on the curb exchange
today. The professional elements
continued attacking where they had
left off at Tuesdays close and
again today met with a good deal
of success. There were a few ex-
ceptions to the general tendency.
Vacuum Oil, selling ex-dividend
$40, held firm most of the session,
around its previous close. Stand
ard Oil of Indiana stood up better
than most of the others. Standard
of New York, Imperial Oil of Can
ada, Standard of Kentucky and
Ohio Oil, however, went lower
from the start.
Gulf Oil of Pennsylvania, among
the Independent group. broke over
a point and Mutual Oil, Salt Creek
Producers and Southern States
were easier. Southern States Oil
sold ex-dividend one percent to-
day. 49,.
There was very little of import
ance in the industrial section.
The price movement for the most
part was highly irregular. Ma
tional Biscuit, traded in on a when
issued basis, was active for a time
and reached somewhat higher pric-
es as a result Of short coverings
by those who had sold at higher
levels last week. New York Tele-
phone preferred was also slightly
better.
Peerless Motor and Cleveland
Motor were the features in the Mo-
tor department, both stocks recov-
ering substantially, while the rest
of the group were either neglected
or slightly lower. The advance in
Cleveland Motors was attributed to
the announcement of the company's
new models and prices for 1923.
Orders for these new cars are
coming in very, satisfactory vol
ume indicating a substantial in
crease in earnings from now on.

New York, Nov. 1.-The market
for cotton cloths was quiet today
but not dull. Volume of business
was not large but in general prices
were firm. AS was to be expected,
some profit taking at second hands
has made its appearance. Twills,
drills and sateens continued in de-
mand and sheetings were very firm.
The bag trade still is in the market.
A fair business was done in osna-
bergs.
The silk market in Yokohama was
reported very active today with
sales Of 5000 bales. Prices here,
however, showed no change. XXA
1915 was quoted at $40; best No.

Boston, Nov. 1.-The withdrawal
OF the carpet prices by large manu-
facturers with the certainty that
advances will be announced shortly
had Strengthening effect on Dor
tons of the wool market today.
Business was somewhat dull as
many dealers have nothing to sell
and others are so confident of their
position that they admit they are
holding for higher prices. Consid-
cradle speculative trading was in
evidence in the East Indian woods.

GOODMAN, SNOW
REPORTS SEND
WHEAT HIGHER
(By the Consolidated Press. }

Chicago, Nov. There was .
decided improvement in the wheat
trade a. compared with the day
before. The market started out
cratic following the changes
in the Liverpool market, which
finally wound up unchanged
to y pence lower. About mid
season both B. W. Snow and P. s.
Goodman issued bullish reports re-
garding the big reduction in winter
wheat area and the poor condition
of the crop and this started Z buy
ing movement which eventually
carried prices much higher. A
letter from julius Barnes to q To-
cal house expressing bullish con-
victions and confidence In the ia
vorable outcome Of European fin
ancial conditions was also used by
the bulls to further their interests.
1t hooked as If the market was a
little overbought later In the ses-
sion. Cash wheat premiums were
unchanged at Minneapolis and Chi
cago. Little interest was exhibited
in export wheat but there was
some buying of May early for for
eign account. Beneficial rains
again fell over a big part Of the
winter wheat area but western
Kansas was again overlooked
However, the big areas are in bet
ter condition as a result of the
precipitation. Primary receipts
were again of good volume. Mill
ing demand for wheat was moder-
ate.
Corn was dull and easy early
but the Snow and Goodman reports
furnished bulls with the necessary
stimulus and a good advance was
established during the later trad
ing. Snow estimated the corn crop
at $500, 100000 bushels and the
carry over at 150,000,000 bushels
while Goodman made the yield e
1872, O00, 900 bushels and the carry
over 185,000,000 bushels. Cash
corn premiums were unchanged

STEEL SHARES.

The main point which the bear
ish element today tried to lay
stress upon in the steel corpora
tons Quartely report was the
sharp falling OF in September
earnings as compared with those
of the previous months. OF course
the impression which spectators
for the decline wished to give was
that this showed that improve
ment in the steel trade had been
greatly exaggerated. The facts are,
as set forth in the report, that
freight congestion, now largely re-
lieved, had a good deal to do with
the shrinkage, while the wage in
crease which was still more of q
reason for the support falling OF.
has now ben pretty well Offset by
the 50 a ton advance in rail
prices which went into effect on
Oct. l.
ROCKEFELLER STOCKS.
Attention has been directed to
the good rallying power Of stocks
which ranked as representing the
Rockefeller, interests in the mar
ket of the last two or three days.
The stocks in question were more
especially Industrial Alcohol and
the St. Paul's. The Street believes
that these stocks have been bought
on accurate knowledge of what is
going on in the respective prop
critics. An added reason for the
strength of Industrial Alcohol was
brought out today in the announce
ment that low grade denatured al
cohol has been advanced to rs
cents per gallon and the high
grades to from SIS to 60 cents.
MAY DEPARTMENT STORES.
May Department stores stock ad-
vanced another 10 points in the
first hour of trading today in face
of an official statement that the
fiscal year does not end until Jan.
81. and that it is not likely that
any dividend will be declared until
then. The May Department stores
meeting is scheduled to be held
Thursday in St. Louis but it is said
that this meeting is likely 10 be
postponed because two OF the Of
ficialS of the company who are also
directors are in New York and
may not arrive in time for the ses-
sion. The May company is report
ed to be doing a record business
this year.

Bond Morset ,

New York, Nov. bond prices
moved irfetularly in today's dull
market.
Except in the case Of Z specula-
tive issue there was NO pressure to
sell. There wsnvconspicuous lack
Of buying orders. Opinions - to
the future OF the market vary
widely. -.
Meanwhile there was active in
quiry for good short term issues
which could be held until the trend
was more clearly indicated aud
then because Of their short term
could be sold around the present
level. Callable bonds we'll secured
were in demand and for the same
reason. A good example is North
west Bell Telephone 70, which sell
within q fraction Of the callable
price.
Government bonds continued the
improvement showed Tuesday, al
though opening prices were. Z few
cents lower. High grade railway
bonds and industrials held about
steady. Probably the most inter-
esting fluctuations were in the for
eign list where Swiss IS, which had
been reactionary Tuesday, dropped
q point today and then rallied 2.
Swiss bonds are regarded with
more favor perhaps than any other
foreign issue unless it is the obli-
cations of Canada and Crest Brit
ain. Undoubtedly II the Swiss Is
were non-callable they would sell
great deal higher. Even at III, at
which one block Of bonds were sold
today, the yield If called at 10l ir
1880 is under 51S per cent. French
TVS rallied from Tuesdays low.
! Bolivia IS eQualled the low of the
year. City of Prague TVS also lost
ground. 1t may be that investors
! are waiting more definite under
| standing as to the attitude of the
! American government toward its
European creditors before putting
any more money into foreign gov
eminent loans.
Among second grade and specuc-
tive railroad bonds, st. Paul con-
vertible AIS rallied sharply from
Tuesdays weakness but the Erie
issues continued their reaction. The
Erie convertible AS and Bs made
new lows on the present downward
movement. In fact the Bs sold
more than 3 points below yester-
days quotation. They have a long
way to go. however, before they
reach the low Of the year, which
was 80 for the B bonds and 34A for
the A bonds. There is absolutely
no difference between the two is

same property and for both tn.
