Sharp Reactions Are Features Of Markets

NEW YORK, Sept. 15-Sharp reac- tions in stock and wheat prices fea- tured this weeks financial and com modity markets. Cotton prices fluctu- ated considerably. but showed little new change on the week. Various reasons were assigned by market ob- servers for the decline In stocks but it was generally believed that the slackening demand for steel reported by the weekly trade reviews and the delayed appearance of the usual fall demand in other lines were among the prime factors. Some disappoint- ment also was expressed In the de- lay in reaching reparations agree ment. which was reported as im- minent earlier in the week.
 Lower wheat prices were generally attributed to the lack of an export demand and revised estimates in dicating the possibility of a larger Canadian crop.
 Money rates were somewhat fIrmer over the year loans being quoted at 5A per cent for the first time this year, but brokers were not disposed to bid over ls. The stiffening in call loans, which touched per cent for the first time in six weeks and then dropped back to 41s. was be- lieved to be due to the withdrawal of funds in anticipation of federal income tax payments.

Incrense In Demand
 For Steel Is Expected

NEW YORK. Sept. 15.-Prospects for new business in the steel mar ket are considered favorable, espe- cially from railroads. While a large amount of steel will doubtless be re- quired for the devastated area in Japan, actual buying from this quar- ter thus far has proved disappoint- ing. The fact that thrilled orders on the books of the steel corporation showed sharp August drop also was disappointing and gave the mar ket slightly heavier appearance Pig iron was quiet and easier. The fuel situation was more favorable and buyers were not disposed to place orders much ahead of immedi- ate requirements.
 Copper was quiet and about steady Reports of possible curtailment of output by producers under the 14 cent level encouraged a firmer view Of prices earlier in the week. De- nestle buyers were conservative.
 Tin was easy, as the free selling b. sources of production and the Lon- don decline caused buyers to retire.
 Lead was advanced by the leading producer late in the week, although buying was less active, prospective consumption requirements appeared large.
 Offerings of zinc were liberal for nearby shipment and the market ruled easy.
 Anthony quiet although holders remained steady.

Wheat Decline Due To Crop Estimates

CHICAGO. Sept. 15.-wheat has undergone a sharp setback In price this week chiefly owing to an official estimate that the 1923 Canadian crop Is 70.00o.00o bushels larger than last years total Compared with a week ago, wheat this morning was SIS to 43sc down; corn 1c to 2M @2Hc off; oats varying from 1as decline to 1A c advance and provisions showing losses of 10c to 22c.
 Selling of wheat on the basis of experience in former years that this was a regular calendar time for ex- pecting lower prices did good deal also to depress values. Reports mean while that the German government had ordered a stoppage of passive resistance in the Ruhr gave some en- couragement to the bulls, but failed to have any immediate effect on prices. For the time being. all other factors appeared to be dwarfted by the huge Canadian surplus.
 Corn went lower with wheat as 2 result of bearish aspects of the gov ernment crop report as to corn. Mea- gerness of the supply of oats here made the oats market relatively firm
 Provisions reflected less active shipping trade.
