War Scare Fails
To Shake Markets.
Developments During Week
9. Reasonably Satisfactory-
Wheat Prices Higher

ImSew York, Sept. 34-Despite
nervousness in the security mar
F,kets, domestic industrial and hz.an-
cial developments during the past
week continue reasonably .satisfae-
tory.
Talk Of war. in Europe over
Turkish troubles, which conserVa-
tive quarters. considered over
drawn, was disturbing influence,
fsbut served to rally grain prices ap-
preciably.. December whea. rose
as high as LOG 3-S. ten ,censs above
the recent low. This advance was vas:
accompanied not only By. & change
in speculative sentiment, bat by
considerable foreign buying, which
is: quite natural at at this season.
Further gains lave been reported
Iby the steel industry. More blast
furnaces. have been placed in op-
Grafton and. steel making has IN
creased TO. approximately 6o per
cent Of capacity. This recovery.
which is better than had been an
tieipated. has been accompanied by
a setting down Of the steel market
in prices. Recent extreme pre-
NUNS for quick delivery are dis
appearing and more stable basis
OF business developing. The pres
tent rate Of production while below
war expanded capacity is greater
than in any year before the war.
The Improvement in steel .eper-
atiens has been made possible by
an easier coal situation. Bitumtn-
Gus production has been pushed
well beyond. ten million tons a
week and supplies. are now fairly
comfortable. Recognition of this
fact appears in the Interstate Conf
merce Commissions lifting OF Ger
tain Of it's priority restrictions.
Car loading statistics also are
Satisfactory, indicating that the
railroads are still expanding in
traffic movement tie, new high lev
els since the. fall OF 1920. While
the number of cars loaded during
the week ended September 3, is
nearly I06 ,00e less than in the pre-
vious year. the loss is more than
accounted for by the Labor Day
holiday. Taking the figures as
they stand. however, the movement
of general merchandise and mis-
tcellaneous freight was 100000 cars
greater than during the cores
ponding. week a. year ago..
T. Disregarding a rise in the sensl-
tive call money rate. on the New
York Exchange to 6 per cent, which
seems to have been due to tax col
leetion operations, the tone OF the
money market has become slightly
fdrmer. Bankers accep1ances COM
nnand one-auarter of l per cent
more now than a few weeks ago.
The explanation lies partly in. the
increase in the volume OF bills.
which has been contributed to by
heavy importations, which are sea-
;sonal and some Of which have been

the tariff. At the. same time it
would appear that foreign balances
have. been Withdrawn from this
market, proba bly, for use in pur-
, chasing grain and raw materials.
No sharp rise in money rates is,
however, anticipated.
/: Confirming previous indications,

gust shows no change. Fuel and
metals We're practically the. only
! groups to advance and the effect
