GERMAN BONDS y
IN Big DEMAND
Brisk Bidding By Dealers
Lifts Values To New
Highs

NEW YORK, Oct. i6.-Drastic scaling
down of the allotments on the German
loan today caused the hveliest scramble
for the bonds in stock exchange trading
since the offerings last Tuesday. Brisk
bidding by dealers, who received only
a small percentage Of their applica-
tions, carried the price up to a new high
record at 95E, at which point extensive
profit taking set In and drove the quo
tations back to s4K. slightly below yes
terday's final figures. ,s
Sales of the German obligations on
the stock exchange today approximated

days total bond transactions and bring
ing the turnover for the three days UP
to about $4,000, 900. Blocks OF as high
as SITE, 900 changed hands.
With trading in domestic corporation
issues completely overshadowedg BY ac-
tivity in the German liens, prices of the
Industrial and railroad mortgages again
fluctuated within narrow limits. De-
mand for the rail bonds turned from
the investment to the speculative class.

tendencies. Cigar company issues, in
Guiding Warner Is and Punta Allegro rs,
were conspicuously heavy spots.
Outside the foreign list the principal
feature of tradink was the establish

CURB EXCHANGE

NEW YORK, Oct. 16.-Revival Of
speculative interest in the oil shares
several of which advanced from to
4 points, was the outstanding feature
of today's irregularly higher curb mar
ket. Buying of the petroleum issues
was stimulated by the publication of
statistics showing a further decrease OF
more than &c 900 barrels daily in crude
oil production for the week ending Oc-
tober IL.
Prairie Oil and Gas stood out with
a gain of points on fairly good trans
actions; Standard Oil of Ohio advanced
81; Standard Oil of Nebraska, 8, and
Buckeye Pipe, 8, on small sales. Ohio
Oil and Prairie Pipe each gained Ia
points.
Public utilities, which were hard hit
on the recent reaction made futher
brisk recovery. National Power
Jumped 20 points on one sale, American
Gas and Electric moved up So and
American Power and Light, Common
wealth, Middlewest Utilities and West
ern Power closed 1 to points higher.
The feature of the industrial list was
a jump of 51a points in United Baker,
les, which touched lis and then sagged
a point on profit taking. Radio issues
showed only nominal changes. Lehigh
Valley Coal certificates improved frac-
tionalIy and Pittsburg Terminal Coal
advanced 2 points.

NEW YORK COTTON


NEW ORLEANS, Oct. 16.-The cot
ton market developed an advancing
tendency in today's session notwltn-
standing rather Indifferent cables and
continued good weather in the belt
coupled with many private advices to
the effect that the crop nearly every
where was promising larger yields than
looked for. The stimulating influence
was the fear that the tropical hurricane
now in the northwest Caribbean sea
might enter. the gulf and cause niga
winds and extensive rains which would
be damaging to the crop, particularly
should the disturbance bring a cold
wave.
The market opened IA to % points
higher and December advanced to 22.44c
and January to 22.49c before resting
place was reached showing gain OF 50
noints over the previous close. The
market then eased off about 10 to IL
points owing to the good weather IN
the belt but later in the morning turn
ed firm again on the posting OF storm
warnings for the Yucatan channel ana
Florida straits. Prices continued on
fhe upgrade for the rest of the session,
although there were moderate recessions
around noon on realizing and the hign-
est levels of the day were reached just
before the close with December at 25'oSc'
January at 2272c and March at 22;SSc,
or Sc to So points above the previous
showing net gains for the day Of 81
to SO points.
The early advance was helped by
statement from Washington that de-
spite larger crops, cotton prices would
be sustained by the depletion OF re-
serve supplies of cotton goods; con,
tinued good weather in the belt induced
considerable selling at times during the
session but the offerings were readily
absorbed.
october attracted more or less atten-
ton owing to the belief that there would
be a fair amount of belated notices
issued here and rather a heavy volume
of tenders in New York. 1t is under
stood, however, that spot interests are
prepared to absorb all cotton rendered
on contracts.
NEW ORLEANS COTTON
NEW ORLEANS, Oct. l6-Cotton futures closed

CORN lJNDERG0ES
BREAK IN PRICE
Decline Follows Predic.
ton OF Over-Supply
OF Feed Grains

CHICAGO, Oct. 16.-Corn underwent
sharp break in price today, power
fully affected by assertions on the part
of a trade authority that there is an
oversupply of feed grains and that the
next government reports will show a
decided increase of the official estimate
of corn production. Closing quotations
for corn were heavy, 2h to Ak net low
err; December, S1.09%@1.09%. Wheat
finished weak, IN to 2% off; December,
$1.49@1.49h, and May $1.53@1.53A,
with oats is to &c down and provisions
varying from &c decline to 1Oc gain.
On some transactions the extreme
break in corn prices today amounted to
as much as cents bushel compared
with Yesterdays finish. According to
the bearish view that was put forward
and that attracted wide attention, more
forage crops have been raised than can
be consumed within the present crop
year. It was urged that under such
circumstances the situation as to wheat
and rye afforded insufficient basis for
recent prices Of corn and oats; summer
weather In October having achieved the
seemingly impossible-an outlook that
the great bulk of the crop will mature.
Selling which broadened out in the
corn market, especially during the last
part OF the DAY, round aggressive puy-
ing support lacking. Many standing
orders to stop losses on declines below
certain definite limits were automatical-
ly brought into play.
Wheat and oats owed much of their
weakness to corn. The main reason for
the setback in wheat values, however,
appeared to be profit taking sales,
which became of huge volume when the
December delivery touched a new high
price record for the season. Estimates
were current that frost and drought
had curtailed the Argentina crop %
per cent.
A big decrease in the Chicago stock of
lard upheld provisions.

COTTON REGAINS

Nervousness Over Tropi-
cal Storm Development
Lifts Values

NEW YORK, Oct. 1e.-The cotton
market recovered about half cent of
its recent losses in today's trading.

pled with a little nervousness over the
latest tropical storm development. led

points.
The market opened firm at an ad-
vance of ii to "a points and sold about
26 to 3S points net higher on reports
of a better undertone in Liverpool, buy
ing for Liverpool and continental ac-
count and covering. Hedge selling was
encountered on the advance while no
tees representing about $500 bales APP
peared to cause slight liquidation of
October. This checked the advance
and reactions of 20 to rs points from
the best followed at midday, but the
market steadied later on reports that
the tropical storm was gaining intensity,
which was said to be near the Yucatan
channel. Uncertainty prevailed as to
whether 1t would reach the belt. but
the possibility seemed to promote COW
erinR after the recent severe decline in
prices.
Large exports for the day and re-
ports that both foreign and domestic
spinners were showing more DISPOSE
ton to fix prices around current values,
contributed to the late advance. which
carried the price of October up to 23.45c
and January to 22.90c. Last prices were
within q few points of the best.
The official forecast was considered
generally favorable except for the pros
pect for rains On the south Florida
coast. but the tropical storm situation
evidently led to apprehension of unfa-
vorable weather DEVELOPMENTS before
the beginning of next week.
