BONDS ATTAIN
 RECORD HIGHS
Semi-Speculative Rails Continue To Lead Gen.
 eral Advance

NEW YORK, Nov. 8.-Bond prices to- day attained new high levels for the year in the largest volume of trading which has marked any two-hour Satur- day session during 1924 Sales aggre- gated SIS, ,69S, ,000.
 Semi-speculative railroad issues con- tinued to lead the advance, many of them eclipsing their previous top prices. bonds was reflected in the establish ment of 1924 records by New Haven Is and convertible 6s, Sea Board Air Line refunding As, adjustment 5s and consoli dated 6s, Frisco income 6s and New York Central 6s, which moved up from fractions to 2 points.
 Corresponding gains were registered by an assortment of both high and low priced liens, including Atchison adjust ment 6s, St. Louis Southwestern Con- solidated As. St. Paul convertible 5s, convertible 41as, and 41ss of 1882, Balti- more and Ohio 4s and Pere Mar Quette 5s.
 A factor in the heavy buying of bonds in the last few days, investment bankers explained today, has been the scarcity of securities on dealers shelves, forcing clients to enter the listed market with investment funds.
 Activity in United Kingdom bonds, featured trading in foreign obligations today, the 5Hs of 1929 and 1887 reah- ing new 1924 top prices at 113h and 1O6K, respectively. The movement was in sympathy with the rise in sterling to the highest point reached in more than year.

WEEK SEES RISE
 N GRAIN VALUES
Advance Based On After-Elec-
 tiOn Business Optimism

CHICAGO, Nov. S.-Lively upturns in the value of grain have taken place this week, based more or less on op- timistic views of the after election bus mess outlook and on greatly improved export demand for wheat and rye. Wheat this morning compared with a week ago showed 5A to 23s CO 2h advance and provisions varying from 42c decline to a rise of 72c.
 Prior to the election the wheat mar ket was displaying a downward ten dency, influenced by selling prepara- tory to the election holiday and also owing to the fact that the United States visible supply of wheat had in creased to a total of nearly 90,000,000 bushels. Besides, there was something of a Hull in export business, European business, European buyers apparently holding off for the time being. After the election, however, a general broad ening of activity on the buying side of the market set in and before the day which followed the national ballot was ended the climbing of values had al- ready gone beyond average limits.
 Increased demand for flour was one of the notable circumstances ascribed to removal of election uncertainties. Meanwhile adverse crop conditions in the southern hemisphere, particularly Argentine and Australia, gave a de- cided stimulus to export buying. Fall ing off in the volume of domestic re- ceipts were and southwest was also noted, with the northwest movement predicted to dwindle within a fort night.
 Curtailed unofficial estimates of the 1924 yield of corn helped to lift the price of corn and oats. The main fac tor, however, in strengthening the mar ket for feed grains was the accelerated buying of the bredstuffs wheat and rye.
 Indications of a shortage of hogs during the winter unsettled the proVis ion market.

STEEL MARKET ON PRIMER BASIS
Demand Is Unimproved, But
 Industry Is Optimistic

NEW YORK, Nov. S.-While there have been no evidences so far of any great improvement in the demand for steel following the election, there are signs of increased optimism relative to the future of the steel i'm tinctly firmer tendency. The pig iron market has been more active with bet ter buying, especially in the west, and prices have developed a steadier tone with some definite advances. The pig iron output for October showed an in crease of nearly r per cent from Sep tember.
 Steel ingot output gained 6h per cent on daily rate.
 Increased demand for copper result ing in sales estimated at about 10,00O,- 900 pounds to domestic consumers Thursday for December and deliveries extending over the first quarter of next year. to clean up practically all offers of electrolytic below the 13%c level.
 Business tapered off toward the end of the week, owing partly, perhaps. to a slightly easier tone in Europe, but the optimistic view of general trade prospects was reflected by the attitude of sellers and prices were firmly main tained.
 Tin was steady owing to fair buying demand by consumers, gains in London anu HI StchAh6 cACuduSc, SIudu OILcT- ings and buoyancy in the stock market. More interest has been shown in Chi nese tin.
 Lead continued to move into con- sumption on a heavy less active. Stocks interest has been less active. Stocks are moderate and first hand offerings light for November delivery.

BUTTER SCARCITY
 HOLDS UP PRICES
Production Areas Report Make
 At Near Bottom

CHICAGO, H., Nov. s.-Scarcity of fine butter during the week prevented declines in top score prices while ac- cumulated medium and undergrades moved slow on a weak market. A fair movement from storage, particularly in New York, was reported.
 Production areas reported the make at close to bottom after weeks of weather ideal for maximum output. The American Association of Creamery But ter Manufacturers reported an increase of 9.3 per cent over the same week last year but 3.5 per cent decrease from the previous week and the Minnesota Cooperative Creameries indicated an increase of 26.59 per cent over last year band 2.61 per cent over the previous week.
 Reductions in storage holdings were small as compared with last years movement and 1t was indicated the De- cember l surplus will be larger than on November 1.
 Closing wholesale prices and range, 92 score butter follow:
 Chicago, unchanged at 3Sac; New York, lac higher at 41c; Boston, hc lower at 39c, and Philadelphia, un- changed at 41c.

STOCK EXCHANGE SEES SCRAMBLE.
 TURN INTO RIOT.
Big Operators Contend With Small Ones For
 Shares Available
By EDWARD J. CONDLON, By Leased Wire to Age-Herald.

NEW Y0RG, Nov. 8.-In the widest session of business ever witnessed on Saturday, the two-hour trading period winding up the week on the New York Stock Exchange resulted in a turnover of 1,446,000 shares. The scramble for stocks became a riot as big operators and banking interests contend0d with the myriad of small investors in every part of the country for the shares available.
 The machinery of the stock exchange was so badly swamped that the ticker was thirty minutes behind at the close of the market in recording the trans actions. Purchasers who bought lat the market" had not the slightest ink ling of what price they paid for stocks as the jumps in prices between sales were sometimes a point or more.
 Few Issues Waver.
 Profit taking appeared, as 1t always does, when the advance had continued but short distance, but for every share offered there were several takers so that few issues wavered. Coming on the heels of the record-breaking sales Wednesday and Thursday of 1,643 100 and 2,335,900 shares, respectively, Satur- days performance was all the more spectacular.
 Nor were the gains limited to stocks. Bonds enjoyed sales totalling nearly ~o,oVV,oUV' Witu piIceS tenulnS uPWdIo U under the leadership of the medium and low priced rails. Sterling attained a record high for the year just under $4.G0, while guilders crossed 4c, and Swedish and Norwegian exchange rates reached record 1924 levels. The rise in the British rate may be explained in part by the return to Lombard street of funds sent to the continent for em- ployment by British bankers after the passing of the labor regime.
 Commodities Profit.
 The commodity markets profited by the enthusiasm in stocks, grains contin- uing their unbroken post-election up- swing, while cotton moved higher fol- lowing the announcement of the gov ernment report Saturday morning. Cof- fee prices touched new high levels for the year. The governments cotton fig ures indicated a gain of Al ,000 bales since two weeks ago, making the yield 900 bales. or 55.9 per cent of nor nal, against 54.7 on October IS, last The census bureau reported 9,694, ,920 bales, or three-fourths of the crop, had been ginned, compared with 7,556,042 a year ago. The report was about as ex- pected.
 Certainly, the performance of the security and commodity markets since election day leaves little doubt as to the genuine character of the buying. The public response has astonished sea soned observers in the stock market and has given rise to predictions of three and even four million share days some quarters. Indeed, when many of the plans now being made see the light of day, the stock maSket and the na- tion's business in general is in for a period, the like of which has not been witnessed since pre-war days.

mate of 3.7 per cent of acreage aban- doned compared with a ten-year aver age of 3.1 per cent, but based its esti- mate on the full 40, ,403, ,000 acres report ed planted. As 1t gave out no state ment of yield per acre and refused to make public its pars, the public is in the dark as to how its estimate was worked out. Another significant state ment was that the recent cold put an end to hopes of a top crop and that weevils and worms are getting the late bolls in Texas. The action of the mar ket today indicates that 1t has dis counted the government estimate in ad- vance and that the public Is beginning to realize that even such a crop as pre- dicted may prove inadequate in the end in view of improving trade conditions everywhere and is willing to buy on tips of any consequence. Trade buy ing before and after the report was a notable feature. We believe prices will ultimately work higher and advise pur- chases on material recessions.-Fenner 6 Beane to Kahn & Virgin.
 NEW ORLEANS, Nov. S.-That trade interests are disposed to be bullish on cotton, grain and securities Is indicated by the strength of late displayed by the speculative markets due to the be- lief that, owing to the recent results of the elections in England and the United States. There will be no government interference with big business for long time to come. This feature of the sit- uation was forcibly demonstrated today by the market. After taking a dip with release of the government forecast 1t bulged quickly and sharply in conse- quence of general buying. According to returns to government as of Nov. l, the condition 559 vs. AIS, October 25, indi- eating a production of 12,S16, ,00O bales against 10140,000 last year. Since the crop is much larger than last year and nearer in size to the previous big crop of 1920, 1t will be best to compare gin- nings in the future with returns after this date in 1920. The following shows the quantity of cotton remaining to be ginned on the basis of today's govern ment report during the balance of the season compared with previous big crop year in 1920. Ginned to Nov. 1, 9,695,000 vs. 7,507,00 ginned after Nov. 1, estimated, 3,121, ,O0O vs. 5,753, ,OOO; total crop estimated 12.816,oOO vs. 13,271, 900 percentage ginned to Nov. l, estimate, 75.6 vs. 566. Of all big crop years, this years picking and ginning has been the most rapid, and as the bulk of the crop has already been ginned, it is only reasonable to expect a marked falling off in ginnings by periods from now on thls year compared with sea so nof 1920. The market may be high enough for present since much of the unmarketed portion of the crop has yet to be disposed of, but buying on impor- tant .depressions is recommended as the trade will likely buy extensively on i'm portant reactions. General trade condt- tions on both sides of the Atlantic are improving and the world will probably take much more cotton than 1t took last season.-H. and B. Beer to J. F. Willlngham 6 Co.

: DUN,s REVIEW.

NEW YORK, Nov. s.-(Special.)-R. G, Dun & Co.'s current summary of general business follows, in part:
 The result of the national election has had a stimulating effect on financial and commercial markets. There was a quick and emphatic response on the Stock Exchange, where prices advanced sharply on the broadest dealings in many months, and new signs of trade revival have already appeared. With the removal of political uncertainties, some commitments which had been held in abeyance have been released, and in creasing inquiries in different lines in- dicate that preparations for further ex- pansion are being made. The stronger basic conditions which now preval, with decided improvement in the agricultural situation and a better foreign outlook, give rise to confident expectations, and various statistical measures show clearly that economic recovery Is under way. Prominent among these barometers is the report of October pig iron produc- tion, disclosing a IT per cent gain in the daily average, and the largest total output since last May, and new high records in freight traffic have become of almost weekly occurrence. Although there continues to be considerable ir- regularity in commodity prices, the main trend in recent months has been in an upward direction, with Dun's Index Number for November at the highest level touched in nearly four years. Instances are still noted, as in certain divisions of the textile industry, where competition for orders causes price con- oessions, yet pressure to sell is not now a phase common to all markets, the initiative in numerous transactions be- ing with the buyer. The point has not been reached where demand runs very far into the future, but more disposi- tion is being shown in some quarters to anticipate forward needs, and some manufacturers are engaged well ahead. Al full development of fall retail trade has been prevented by unusually mild weather, but conditions have favored the maintenance of building operationse on a heavy scale, and the larger ern- ployment of. workers obvious tends to augment the public purchasing power. Broadly viewed, the business situation has many elements of promise, and a continuance of the movement toward expanaion is generally expected.

STOCK LETTER.

NEW YORK, Nov. S.-The market continued its spectacular advance and under the heaviest volume of trading seen on the stock exchange in many years prices advanced steadily through out practically the entire session. Total sales of 1,446,0 shares during the two hours of trading gives some idea of the magnitude of operations. American Can rose 2%. During the final hour, a number of issues reacted moderately from their early highs, indicating that much of the buying was from profess sional shorts without regard to price, although there were many indications that public buying was coming into the rails on a large scale.-Fenner & Beane to Kahn & Virgin.
