Household Suggestions

The use of water often will prevent
scorching For instance, before you
put milk in saucepan to heat, rinse
the pan with water; the milk is not
nearly so apt to burn. In filling
gem pans, leave one section empty
and fill II with water instead of
dough; it will keep the cupcakes or
mullins from becoming too brown.

Steel Market Is Quiet, With Pig Iron Easy

NEW YORK, Sept. 22.-The steel market was quiet and irregular dur ing the week except for a fair in quiry for rail and automobile equip ments and some price concessions were noted. The demand from Japan for reconstruction purposes did not materialize as expected. The report ed little business with the leading indpendents working at about 80 per cent of capacity, although most of the producers were comfortably booked on old business up to the end of the year. Pig iron was easy with declines noted in tlfe south. AL though production was curtailed, de- mand continued small.
 Copper was easier when demand was light, but improved in tone later on reported betterment of export in- quiry. Some of the domestic melters were believed in need of additional supplies to meet October requiremnts but mst of the large consumers were expected to be covered for the next 30 to 50 days and hoping for con- sessions
 Tin ruled steady but quiet. The statistical position was firm and there were no signs of increased pro- auction, but consumers did not an- ticipate requirements.
 Lead was unchanged here and cas- fer at the west. While buying was limited, the outlook for fall business was promising. Zinc showed little tions of a better export inquiry in the near future.
 Anthony was dull. At the same time holders showed no disposition to shade prices owing to the firm at- titude of Chinese holders.

Wheot Price Is Hioher Despite Marketing

CHICAGO, Sept. 22.-Despite heavy marketing of wheat in Canada, the wheat market here has averaged a little higher in price this week, helped by prospects of a settlement of differences between France and Germany and by gossip about Wash tngton plans for farm relief meas ures. Compared with week ago, wheat this morning was unchanged to 2sc up, corn at h to 1c advance. oats unchanged to lsc off, and pro- visions varying from 15c decline to 10c gain.
 Assertions that recent extreme bearish estimates of Canadian wheat production were calculated on acre. age figures 100000 acres too high counted as something of an offset for daily reports that Canadian farm CTS were delivering wheat to coun- try stations at the rate of about 5,000,000 bushel every "A hours. It was said also that to large extent the growers in Canada were retain ing ownership by taking storage tickets. Meanwhile, results to fol- lew the conference of British and French premiers regarding Germany were being awaited hopefully by wheat bulls. and so too, were cabi . net meetings in Washington over the pr opposed improvement of farm con- ditions.
 Strength in corn values had a good deal to do at times with uphold ing the wheat market. Evidence was plentiful that serious damage to corn had been inflicted by recent frosts and that wet weather had also been a handicap. On the other hand, reports that Argentina was under selling Canada at Liverpool. had some bearish effect on wheat prices here as the week drew to an end.
 Corn prices reflected scantiness Of immediate supplies as well as re- spending to crop damage reports. Oats were weakened little by hedg- ing sales.
 Provisions averaged lower in line with hog values.

Petroleum Conditions GoUern Curb Trading

NEW YORK, Sept. 22.-Much Of the trading during the past week was governed by the unsettled condl- tions prevailing in the petroleum industry, but the action of the oil stocks, especially the Standard oil group, furnished evidence that line of resistance had been reached by the declines that had already occur red and further reductions in the prices of crude oil in Pennsylvania, Ohio and other fields were without further influence. The absence of demand in many issues was a factor in causing declines in some stocks, including International Petroleum to new levels, but in most cases offer ings were quickly absorbed at moderate recessions and the end of the week found conditions of an growing demand.
 Some of the price movements were wide, Prairie Oil falling II points, followed by an almost complete re- covery and in the period of weak ness Solar refining was down I7 points. Indiana Pipe Line dropped over points. Dealings in Standard of Indiana were at times on an ex- tremely large scale, that stock after falling IF to 50B, moved up to above 53 In Fridays trading. In- dependent oil stocks moved In a narrower range, but also rallied after losses in the first half of the week
 Industrial issues after first being held in check by devotion of interest to oil group became heavy. The motor stocks were especially weak in the past few days. Stutz motor sold at the new low of 10M and Dupont of Indiana dropped to two new low record. Gillette Safety Razor yielded from 262 to 253A.

Bonds Are Stronger
 After Sharp Reaction

NEW YORK, Sept. 22.--A sharp reaction in the stock market fol- lowed by moderate recovery; strengthening of bond prices in sym pathy with easier money rates; marked improvement in the foreign exchanges and another brisk rally in cotton, were the outstanding de- velopments in this weeks financial markets.
 There was little change in the industrial situation. The weekly mercantile review reported a steady increase in fall buying, but charac- terized 1t as of cautious nature. Secretary Ioover's statement that there was no sign of a reduction in productivity this fall and Secretary Melons assurance that the credit and banking s1'aatica was sound were generally regarded as construc- tive factors. Wall street appeared to be favorab1y impressed with cable dispatches forecasting an early agreement on the separations prob lem. The lower money rates were re- garded as a natural sequel to the heavy government deposits following the September 15 income tax pay ments, but they undoubtedly were so influenced by the drastic reduction in brokers loans and the large amount of funds attracted here from the interior by the relatively high money quotations.

CORN CROP SCARE
 HOSTS PRICE TO NEW HIGH RECORD

CHICAGO, Sept. 22.-Something of a crop scare which developed in the corn market today hoisted September and May corn to a new high price record for the season and brought about an upturn in the wheat mar ket. Wheat closed firm at A to %c net advance, with December $1.03@ $1.03M and May $1.0Sfs. Corn finished 1ss to 1Sc gain, and provisions un- changed to 5c lower.
 Although at first the wheat market showed a downward tendency with increased selling on the part of com mission houses, corn was actively in demand from the beginning, and soon gained sufficient momentum to turn wheat prices up grade. Before the day was half over, a general rush to buy corn was in progress and re- ports at hand indicated that recent frost and the excessive rains of late had done much more serious damage to corn than had heretofore been generally believed. Big corn produc- ing regions in Ohio, Indiana, Illinois and Iowa, as well as portions of Min nesota and Wisconsin were said to have been injured to an extent far beyond what was supposed.
 Word of corn moulding in the fields, notably at various Illinois points, added to bullish sentiment re- garding both corn and wheat, and closing prices TOT edCI CSIOdt W0A U "b virtually the days top level. In the furry about corn damage, the fact was almost ignored that between 4,OOO and 5000 cars of all grain were expected at Winnipeg for Mondays market.
 The greatest advance in the price of corn was on December, a new crop delivery. Anxiety, however, about scarcity of immediate supplies was evidenced by the action of Septem- Der. Oats were dull, but sympathized with corn and wheat.
 Steadiness of hog values kept pro- visions free from any decided change.

Butter AdUances Are Checked During Week


 CHICAGO, Sept. 22.-Price advances in the butter markets during the first two weeks of September were checked during the past week, caused partly by the movement from storage of stocks which during June and July had been stored at a cost under 40 cents. Use of storage butter also relieved the shortage of fresh stocks.
 Production continued to show de- crease and receipts at the four mar kets maintained about the same level as during previous weeks. Con sumption in spite of some compla.n,s from distributors nearest the con sumer, Is reported holding up well.
 Foreign butter played very small part in the control of domestic prices during the week. Arrivals at New York included several cars of Cana dian butter, 2,015 boxes of unsalted Argentine and 3,199 casks of Baltic
 Range in wholesale prices, 92 score butter during the week at the four markets was as follows:
 Chicago, unchanged, at 47a; Ned York, F higher at 27; Boston, X higher at 47i5, and Philadelphia, F higher at AS.
