III you owned a six-room bungalow

IL was IN small town or in a smart
waterfront suburb, you'd be very sus-
picious if a man came along and Of
fered you $500 a month rent for it,
wouldn't you? You'd be afraid he
might purpose to use your bungalow
AS a bootleggers' rendezvous and thus
damage your property. You'd be sus-
picious that he might burn the house
TO collect insurance on his household
goods or commit some other overt act
that would cost you money in damage
TO your property. You'd know that no
honest person would pay $500 a
month for bungalow with a max
imum rental value of 500 a month.
If some one comes along and offers
you a security that promises 10, Is,
20 and so per cent or more for use
of your money, that person is likely
to be in the same class with the man
who would pay $500 rent for 500
bungalow. He wishes to rent your
money and offers to pay on outra-
geous rental for itbecause he is going
to put your money to very hazard
Gus or a dishonest use and the hazard
is great. No honest and capable man
or business will pay such big rents

Time loans have been renting

for money has been low for many
months and no safe and desirable
investment enterprise has to pay high
rates. The good investments can rent

turns isn't a good investment
Consider yourself a landlord of dol

suit being what the great majority In
the financial district wants it to be.
Money rates have been lowered this
week ard an increasing supply of
funds has been pressed upon bor-
rowers at the reduced levels. This
has happened in the third week of
September, a period in the past which
has been notorious for falling bank
reserves and Tightening money
market.
1t is only surprising that invest
ment values have not been more re-
sponsive to this extraordinary money
position The bond market has been
stronger, and so has the market for
purely investment stocks. but even
so, prices are not as high as they
averaged in the closing week Of July.
The answer which most bond houses
give is that values will eventually
work up to parity with interest
rates which they do not occupy now.
Renewed Advance In Wheat.
The renewed advance in wheat has
been one of the most impressive in
cidents Of the week. 1t has occurred
with full knowledge that the new
American crop will run well over S00,-
100000 bushels, that is, far above the
average. Wheat prices, have gone up
because of the evidence that the in
crease in the United States will be
more than offset by the deficiency in
the Canadian northwest and by the
larger need of Europe. The Amer
lean farmer, rushing his crop to mar
ket at an unusually early date, is de-
irving the full advantage from the
advance in prices. He is getting
high return on a big crop for the
first time in four years. In view of
this. the propaganda indulged in by
all parties to help the farmer" is
humbug.
The cotton trade has adjusted itself
to the idea that the new crop will
exceed all totals since 1914. But the
decline of ~ to "A cents pound from
the seasons high has discounted a
good deal. Unquestionably il has
brough prices to a level where the
mills are willing to buy freely again.

important steadying factor in the

NEW YORK, September 20-Com
pairing present stock exchange pric es
with those of a week ago, the fact is
rather striking that there has been
so little change. A number Of in
dividual stocks have been bid UP,
but in more than half of the list
quotations are not far away from
what they were at the close last
Saturday.
This means that, while the main
drift has been upward, there has been
no disposition to resume the main for
ward movement OF the Summer.
Speculative interests have been en-
couraged to work again for rising
prices, because the reaction in the
first 10 days of September accom-
plished a decided change for the bet
ter in the market position. 1t did
away with the undue optimism of
the Summer, it satisfied the tradition
OF September decline following an
upward move in July and August, and
1t took proper cognizance of the un-
eveness of the trade situation

street conditions were emboldened to
renew activities, with the result that

SUNSHINE BREAK
MARKET FOR CORN
Spectacular Smash Stirs
Grain Trade--Lard Prices
Also Lower.
BY the Associated PRESS.

BY the Associated PRESS,
CHICAGO, September 20.-SpeC-
tacular smashing of the price of corr
has taken lions share of attention
this week in the grain trade. Com
pared with a week ago, the corn
market this morning was 81 to rs
lower, with wheat ranging from l Il
decline to like advance oats vary
ing from ] Il off to 4 gain. and pro
visions all the way from 60 cents
down to a rise of 20 cents.
Although the biggest fattening out
Of values in the corn market took
place simultaneously with sudden
warmth and sunshine which tended
to dispel fear about frost and other
menaces to the crop, it has been ap-
parent for some days that prices were
making little or no response to re-
ports telling of widespread abnormal
field conditions The inference was
accordingly drawn that the mark ct
had been overbought and that such
reports had been more than dis
counted for at least the time being.
A drastice clearing away of stand
ing orders to sell out corn and. to
stop losses at various definite limits
was one result from the collapse of
corn prices. Another development
was that after the market had drop
ped to the lowest level since late in
August, buying on the part of recent
sellers who were in d position to col
lect profits helped to induce some
thing of rally.
Unofficial crop estimates that in
dicated a larger yield Of wheat in
Canada than most traders here were
prepared for had an unsettling ef-

buying. though, was on a broad scale,
and with delays to the crop move

counter balance.
