HEAVY EXPORTS
 BOLSTER WHEAT.
Offerings, Readily Ab' sorbed, Are Responsi-
 ble For Price Upturn :

CHICAGO, Sept. 3.-Wheat rallied sharply today on reports of heavy ex- port business with France, Germany and Italy. Offerings, which were readi- ly absorbed by strong commission were removing hedges, were largely re- sponsibie for the upturn. Wheat closed to 1%c higher, with September $1.24% to S124h, and December $1.2S% to $1.29h; corn advanced 1 to 1hc; oats were unchanged to Ac up, and pro- visions 7M to 1719c lower.
 Reports Of more favorable weather for harvesting in Canada, where the, new crop already is under way, and an easier tone in Liverpool cables gave wheat a downward slant at the start and resulted in some persistent selling. However, reports of much damage to Argentina's new wheat crop, due to continued drouth, and aggressive buy ing here by exporters, changed the trend of the market and prices shot up- ward, all deliveries showing substantial gains at the finish. Estimates on ex- port business today were more than 1,00O, 900 bushels in all positions, while yesterdays sales were said to be as much as 5,000, 900 bushels.
 Corn rallied sharply on commission house buying. Strength in wheat and cool weather over the corn belt were the bullish influences.
 Short covering, improved investment buying and reports of some frost dam age in the Canadian northwest carried oats higher after a weak start.
 Weakness of hog values affected pro- visions.

CURB EXCHANGE

NEW YORK, Sept. 3.-After display ing early steadiness curb securities re- acted today on largely professional op- erations, several public utilities offer ing little resistance to selling pressure. A fairly large turnover again was noted in the new Nickel Plate share, which were admitted to trading yester- day on a "when issued" basis, the com mon closing at 76 for gain of 4 and the preferred at S4 up F.
 On a small turnover National Power and Light advanced 37 points but Amer ican Power and Light lost about G points and Commonwealth Power yield ed 1h. Pririe oil and Gas dropped lh points, but most of the other active ;I;se rs.A3-sd only fractional recessions Creole Syndicate, the most active fea- ture. advanced nearly a point on re- ports that the Gulf <E cosT~9any had completed the first well on its property
 NatioAal Tea, which moved ut points, was one of the few strong spots in the industrial list. The coalers and radios showed only nominal changes.

NEW ORLEANS, Sept. 3.-The cotton market developed a firmer trend today notwithstanding an easier opening on lower Liverpool cables than due and on the execution of overnight selling ord CTS. After October, December and Janu- ary had traded 12 to IS points below the closing levels of yesterday, the mar ket rallied and continued on the up grade for the balance of the session with only insignificant reactions, from time to time. Late in the last hour of trading, October sold as hisk as g 92c; December at 2404c, and 5anuary at 24.05c, or AZ, 35 and 30 points up from the early lows. There was a reaction right at the end and the close showed net gains for the day of 12 to 15 points. 4
 The opening decline here was hardly a full rlesponse to the course of Liver pool and the tone soon steadied and shorts covered rather literally fearing that the bureau report Monday might not show as large a crop indication as last month. This feeling was due to the lower condition averages of late pri- Nate reports and more conservative crop indications.
 Three private reports were issued dur ing the day, the condition ranging from 59.7 to 61.4 with crop indications rang ing from 12,202, 900 to 13, ,239, ,OOO.

BONDS DEVELOP
 SAG. TENDENCY
Trading Restricted By Shifting Of Funds To
 Move Crops

NEW YORK, Sept. 3.-Bond prices drifted idly today with sagging tenden- cies developing toward the close after a nearly period of steadiness. Trading again was restricted by the shifting of bank funds in connection with current first of the month requirements and crop moving demands. Leadership of the foreign list was as- sumed by the new Belgian 61ss, offered yesterday at 94, the bonds sold today as high as 95 on a large turnover. AL Iotments on the $3o,000. 900 issue, which was about four times oversubscribed, were cut to 25 per cent. With the new Hungarian bonds selling point above the price at which they were offered in July, 1t was reported that bankers would market here an additional $l,000,000 fs- sue, originally allocated for foreign sub scription, at 8S.
 Norfolk and Western convertible 6s kept pace with a rise of several points in the stock but other rail issues moved within narrow limits. New Haven franc Is, NorthefAo Pacific 5s and St. Paul 4iss lost ground.
 Reports from Washington that no change in the sugar tariff would be tons to sugar company liens with east ern Cuba, Cuba .Cane and Manat is- sues moving moderately higher. Brook lyn Union Gas Is of 1882 advanced more than three points to @ 1924 record. Steel, copper and rubber company bonds were heavy.

STOCK VALUES
 RECORD DECLINE
Decline Ascribed In Some Quarters To Approach
 Of Election

NEW YORK, Sept. 3,-Stock prices developed a reactionary trend today, but trading continued on a restricted scale, total sales again approximating about three-quarters of million shares
 Various reasons were forthcoming rom market observers for the down. ward trend. In some quarters the be- lief was expressed that the pre-holiday rally had discounted all the favorable news and absorbed most of the new buy ing, leaving the market open to att tack by bear traders Stiffer money rates also were considered a contribut- ing factor. With the presidential cleo ton only seven weeks away. there was also a disposition on the part of some traders to ascribe the decline to politi- cal considerations on the theory that specuiators for the advance desired fur ther light on the drift of political sen- tfment before extending their commit mcnts.
 Except for the default on the B. B. { and R. Knight, Inc, bonds, trade news was largely favorable. Weekly steel trade reviews reported further improve ment in demand and increased opera lions, while pig iron output in Au- gust increased per cent in July, the first sign of an upward trend in the past four months. The bullish factors included reports of a sharp reduction tn Mexico Oil production, heavy over
 
 Bond issue and rising commodity prices.
 United States Steel common closed a point lower at 10SA on total sales of about 15,000 shares. American Can showed a net loss of 1h points at 132 and Baldwin closed 1A lower.
 American Woolen broke more than points to TIA in reflection of the un- favorable conditions in the textile trade. { Net losses of to nearly points also were registered by Associated Dry Goods, American Smelting, Colorado Fuel, American Agricultural Chemical preferred, American Ice, International Paper, Stewart-Warner, Stromberg Car buretor, National Lead and Woolworth.
 United, States Cast Iron Pipe touched 8 new high at 109h, but later slipped back to 107 for a small fractional net loss. Among the relatively few strong spots in the industrial list was South Porto Rican Sugar, Virginia Railway and Power, Universal Pipe and Ra- diator preferred and Brooklyn Union Gas, up 1 to 2 points. Rails yielded with the industrials, although excep- tionally good buying was noted in NOT folk and Western, Nickel Plate com mon and preferred and Pere Marquette preferred. up 1h to 21A points.
 Call money held at 2h per cent throughout the session. Time money and commercial paper rates were un- changed.
 Foreign exchanges displayed an easier tone. Demand sterling dropped near ly1Kc lower to around 4.47 and French francs ruled about points lower at 5.S3hc. A further rise in Argentine paper pesos to above 35c reflected the increased grain and live stock exports from that country.

SUGAR MARKET

NEW YORK, Sept. s.-An advance of bo occurred in the raw sugar market today to the basis of 5.78c for Cuban, duty paid, with more active inquiry. Sales included 14,000 bags Cuban to an outport refiner at 5.71c, and 100000 bags to local refiners at 5.7Sc. all for Sep tember shipment.
 Reflecting the advance in spots, near positions in raw sugar futures were higher, while later deliveries showed little change. Final prices were 10 to IT points up on near and point high CT to 1 lower on later positions. Sep tember closed, 3.99c; December, 3.8Sc; March, 335c; May, 3.43c.
