MARKET TRADING
 CONT INUES SLIGHT
Blame Is Placed On Multitude Of Unsettled European
 Problems
By WALTER E. BROWN Editor New York Commercial

'CLcased Wire to The Age-Herald)
 NEW YORK, Oct. 29.-The tone of of depression. Business continues to be of very small volume, and brokers offices are practically deserted.
 Such trading as there IS Is done by the professional element, and instead of continuous whirring of the ticker, starts with long intervals Of rest:
 It is not that the market Is 1n- herently weak, for it is not. It IS simply that no one is taking any lh- terest in it because there are too many unsettled problems to be taken into consideration at this time.
 The Eeropean situation thus Tar has not yielded the encouragement expected of it, but that Is because it switches from one phase to another with so little ceremony. Some little hope was extracted from the reports that the Krupp and Stinnes interests were discussing the project of going back to work in the Ruhr but any benefit marketwise from this devel- opment was offset by the statement of Poincare that France would re- main right where she was in the Ruhr until she was paid.
 ArricuIturaI Outlook Brighter.
 Railroad earnings are not as com pletely favorable as might be, snow ing little more variation than mas been the rule for some time. North ern Pacific showed a fair net return but with a slight decline in gross as comnared with a year ago. Great Northern made a much better show ing than expected. Jersey Central reported deficit in net, while ilil- nois Central showed a falling off m both gross and net as compared wlth September, 1922. 4 ening, says the Secretary of Agricul- ture. who points out that there has been an increase of $1,250,oOO,OOO in eleven principal crops over last year and of nearly s2.000,oo0,000 over 1921. There Is considerable talk of 6oan r,snv has pretty good crops herself and in any event she would have to put up satisfactory banking security to make such a loan possible.

IMPORT PROSPECT
 HITS WHEAT PRICE

CHICAGO, Oct. s7.-wheat under went something of setback in price today, chiefly as a result of prospec- tive enlarged imports of Canadian wheat in the United States, duty paid. The market closed steady, but % O 1S @ # @ sc net lower, with De- cember, s1.o5% @1.O5% and May decline of %c to 4c, the latter for October delivery. Oats 1-4@3-8c off and provisions varying from 1Oc de- cline to a gain of 2c.
 Although an upturn in Liverpool quotations gave the wheat markt here little initial strength, the bulls were soon at an evident disad- vantage. Subsequent rallies failed to hold and with the United States visible supply total showing liberal increase, the days lowest prive level was reached just before dealings were at an end. Throughout the day, special notice was taken of weakness in values at Minneapolis, where hedging sales against Ca- nadian purchases, appeared to be in progress. Besides, the seemingly un- yielding attitude of France relative to German separations counted somewhat as a bearish influence.
 A striking feature of the wheat trade was the way the market re- sisted selling pressure on the set backs in price. Every time the De- cember delivery went below $1.0S, opportune buying support developed. considerable wheat being purchased against sales of corn. Other buying of wheat was said to be based more or less on chances that as the re- suit of an investigation which has been going on of late the tariff com mission at Washington may decide on raising the tariff on wheat.
 Increasing receipts If new corn had a bearish influence on corn and oats. Seventy per cent of the sS3 cars of corn which arrived in Chi cago today were new crop.
 Provisions averaged lower in line with hog values.

CHANGES ON CURB
 ARE UNiMPORTANTI

NEW YORK, Oct. 29.-With few exceptions price changes in today's curb market were irregular and un- important. Announcement of the Prairie oil and Gas and Producers and Refiners merger brought about some profit taking in the former stock, which touched 190. and then slipped off to 1S1 for a net loss of 5 points.
 Only fractional changes took place In Standard oil of Indiana, Vacuum, Mutual and Southern states
 Coal issues made fractional im- provement, but except for drop of IA in Gillette Safety Razor, there was little else of interest in the in- dustrial section. The preferred and common stocks of the Dictaphone corporation were admitted to trading today, but there was little activity.
 Speculative interest in the mining group was limited to the Pennsyl- vania shares.

Weather conditions over Sunday were not quite as unfavorable had been ex- pected, the area of rain not extending as far as the trade had feared on Saturday.

BIRMINGHAM, Ala, Oct. 3s.-Liver- pool quotations came over 9 points bet ter than due with good sales of 5000 bales at an advance of points in their spot prices, Futures weakened consid- erably before our opening, but had no effect on the initial prices in the Ameri- can markets. Manchester cabled demand better last week in cotton, yarns and cloths with advancing trend. India pur- chases increased and China inquired ex- tensively. Our markets opened about unchanged from Saturdays close and under the continued sharp decline at Liverpool prices were depressed about 50 points from the initial prices but at this level buying came in sufficient to check the rally and on bullish spot news from Galveston and the estimate crop of Clement Curtis company of 10.21S, 900 brought in more buying, causing shorts to cover freely. helping the advance along. The finals were 5 to 10 points higher than the previous close and the highest closing prices of the season. Spots were generally quoted unchanged with sales continuing large above the 30 cents levels. Much of the early buying In futures that stopped the decline was for trade interests both domestic and for eign. The weather was unfavorable in North Texas and Oklahoma. The Chicago house estimate of 1o.21s,000 was the third estimate so far round this figure while some very good southern cotton men are confident 1t will be under 10, 1000, 900.
