August Railroad Earnings

Based on the returns Of 133 rail-
roads, it is estimated that the net op-
gust did not exceed s45,ooo,ooo, or
about half the total for the CORE
spending month of 1921. The official
figures for the 1873 roads are expected
to be made public on Monday. The
majority Of the August reports thus
far published have reflected the effects
of the strike to more marked degree
than in July One of the noticeable
features has been the abnormally heavy
operating expenses, due in large
measure to the efforts to combat the
shopmen's strike.

Although it is stated in railroad cir
cles that the freight car shortage this
year is not likely to be as serious as
it was in the fall of 1920, almost daily
there are signs that the lack of trans
portation facilities Is forcing some
plants to curtail or suspend operations.
An accumulation of sheet products has
forced the Republic Iron and Steel
Company to reduce the number Of its
active sheet mills at Niles, Ohio, from
sixteen to eight. 1t is stated that the

CHICAGO GRAIN MARKET

Chicago Oct. 26.-Fresh advances in the price of wheat took place today ow- ing more or less to 40,000,000 bushels reduction in estimates of the Australian exportable surplus. Profit-taking sales at the last made the market react. The close was unsettled, at the same as yes- terday's finish to 5-Sc higher, with De- cember and May both III 34 to III 7-8. Corn closed 1-Sc off to 1-4c O 3-Sc advance, oats up 3-8 to 12c and provisions unchanged to 20c lower.
 Despite some wavering at first in the wheat market, persistent commission house buying together with absence of any aggressive selling led soon to a decided upturn of values. The initial hesitancy was due mainly to assertions that car orders issued last night would bring about increased receipts at west ern terminal markets. It developed, however, that the supply of western cars on eastern roads was small, and that no big immediate change in traf- fic conditions was looked for.
 Besides unfavorable crop advices from Australia, continued dry weather over the domestic winter wheat belt, with frmness of premiums for cash wheat in all markets gave an advantage to bulls Particular significance was attached to upturnS III price at Liver pool and Winnipeg, the Liverpool quota tions representing the chief importing country of the world and Winnipeg the immense surplus of the Canadian north west Reports that flour business was good, especially so at Minneapolis. had an additional stimulating influence.
 Corn and oats reflected with the wheat advance.
 Offerings of corn were light, and de- mand for prompt shipment showed i'm. provement.
 Provisions had a downward slant iI consequence of lower quotations or hogs.
