WooLEN OFF 20 POINTS.
Stock Still Lower on Omission of
Common Dividend.
BY STUART p. WEST.

BY STU ART II. WEST.
Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, September 6.-Heavy
selling continued in American Wooden
today, sweeping the stock downward
again. The Street, which 4S hours
previously, had still been looking for
some, could not say enough against
the stock. The idea was that any re-
sumption of payments was exceeding
ly remote. At its low, American
Woolen was off over 20 points from
where it was selling just before the
directors action was made known
Thursday.
In the general list prices were low
er at the outset, hardened somew ha I
toward the end of the first hour, then
weakened again in the final trading
Special buying reappeared for a time
in D., l.. & w, fitting in with the
story that new interests were after
control. But the stock faded away
with the rest in the last half hour
Union Pacific was conspicVously weak
and Reading sold below 60 again.
Steel Common Drops.
Steel common offered fair resistance
for the first two-thirds of the session
but in the end. it was heavily sold and
dropped below 106. The pool in Amer
fcan Can no lon%er tried to sustain its
favorite, the stock slipping off very
easily. Chandler Motor made another
new low for all time. The best now
conceded is a dividend declaration at
the rate of SO, but many are looking
for no dividend a all.
Utah securities developed independ-
ent strength under buying attributed
to professional sources. 1t was selling
around its highest for the year. The
last earnings statement showed that
in July gross income amounted to
sS73,420 as against s791,335 in the
same month last year, while net was
over $4,000 higher. For the Il
months ended July 81, net profits were
s5.3111,7S3 compared with s4,S97, 500
last year.
United Railways Weak.
United Railways investment pre-
ferred was weak. No news regarding
this company and it's securities has
been heard since the gossip connect
ing United Railways investment and
the American Water Works interests
month or more ago. The recurrent
report that the Market Street Railways
property, in the United Railways
group is about to be sold to the city
of San Francisco has lost it's force as
a factor in the market for the stocks
concerned. With no material change
in the income from inve estments
something else will be needed to pin
to United Railway issues.

GERMAN COAL SYNDICATE
GETS $4,000, 900 CREDIT
BY the Associated Press.

BY the ABS0c1ated Press.
NEW YORK, September 6.-Nego-
tiations virtually have been completed
for the extension Of $10,000,000
credit to the German coal syndicate
by a group of eight or ten American
banks, headed by the Equitable Trust
Company.
Funds, which will be made available
to the industry, will be used to
finance the revival Of coal production
in the Ruhr Valley. While terms of
the loan have not been finally ar
ranged, it is probable that the credit
will run for six months and be re-
newable at the expiration of that
period. The interest rate has not
been fixed.

WHEAT PRICES OFF,;
HOME BUYING POOR
Losses on All Grain and Pro-
visions During Week-0ats
Hurt by Frost.
}y the Associated Press.

CHICAGO, September. G. The
wheat market is ShowingNthe effects
of persistent selling due to heavy ex-
port sales during the past week and
prices have struck down grade. Buy
ing power seems to be lacking, and.
although the market has shown rail-
lying power at times, the figures this
morning reveal losses on all grain
and provisions. Compared with a
week ago, wheat this morning is
down Il to ~. corn is y to rs low
er, oats are off Is to 7s and provi-
sions show a net loss of 10 to 81 ~
cents.
Heavy Buying Abroad.
Acceptance of the Dawes plan was
followed by heavy purchases of wheat
by Germany, France, Italy and the
other interested powers, and this has
been chiefly responsible for an upturn
in value here. AS a result of this
business receipts of wheat have been
quickly absorbed. Continued drought
in Argentina and more or less bullish
reports regarding the European crop
have helped to firm values.
Primary receipts, however, have been
larger than a year ago. Movement
Of the wheat crop from the Northwest
has increased and this will greatly
augment the supply. Weather con-
ditlonS also in the Northwest have been
favorable for thrashing, and much
larger yields are estimated than indi-
Gated a month ago. One private report
placed the Spring wheat crop around
FAC, ,000,0 bushels.
Weather Chief Corn Factor.
Weather conditions have been the
chief factor in corn. Conditions over
the belt have been favorable, but the
crop is reported late in most sections.
The market being quite sensitive, any
threat of adverse weather probably
would be factor toward higher prices.
Short covering in oats, investment
buying on dips and frost damage in the
Canadian northwest were offset by pri-
vate reports which placed the yield
at about $1,000, 900 bushels over the
figures of a month ago.
Provisions were dull and weak on
selling attributed to cotton seed oil
interests and drop in hogs.

American Wooden and Chan

i Shares Under Pressure.
BY the Associa ted Press,


NEW YORK, September 6.-Reac-
tionary tendencies again prevailed in
today's stock market. Lackawanna
touched a new top at 1431s and few
other issues showed Independent
strength on short covering, but the
pressure of offerings in the general
list became so great that the mark ct
was unable to absorb them, except
at concessions in quoted values.
American Wooden showed further
weakness by sagging 38 to 81 ", an
other record low, and Chandler, s
per cent stock, broke through its
previous bottom to 35A, in specula-
tive expectation that the quarterly
dividend would be either cut or omit
ted at next weeks meeting of the
board of directors.
The closing was heavy. Sales ap-
proximated $4,000 shares.

BONDS GO HIGHER
IN WEEKS TRADING
Market Dull Today-Liberty
Loans IrreguIar-RaiI
Liens Sell Down.
BY GEORGE r. HUGHES.

Special Dispatch to The Star
NEW YORK. September 6.-The
week in the bond market closed with
prices steady for investment securi-
ties, but with irregularity in the more
speculative descriptions. Liberties for
the most part maintained the small
advance of Friday. On the week all
the active issues are slightly higher
and this Notwithstanding the ten
dency toward higher rates for money.
1t Is believed that Government pur-
chases have been the sustaining in
nuence. If So. it is argued the Treas
ury Department does not expect ma
terially lower prices for Government
bonds in the immediate future.
Belgian Bonds Strong.
In foreign bonds the new Belgian
6Hs were again in demand today and
touched their high price of point
above the offering figure. The sue
cess of this $30,000,000 foreign financ-
ing has been one of the features of
the week. The bonds are now selling
on lower yield basis than the more
seasoned Belgian 71as and SIS. The
general average price of foreign
bonds, however. is down on the week.
French issues have all dragged heav-
lily and French 72s lost ground sub
stantially
Talk of new French loan to be
placed in America is regarded as
premature. Nothing is likely to be
done along this line until the Ger
man loan is cared for. Despite the
general tendency, there have been
points of strength in the foreign list,
one of them being Sweden 6s.
st. Paul Liens Heavy.
st. Paul bonds were conspicuous
among the speculative rails this week
for their heaviness. They expert
enced the sharpest break Friday.
Some of the issues rallied today.
There is nothing new about the st.
Paul situation. Everything waits
upon the refunding plans for the As
of the 1925 and that in turn depends
upon earning results during the bal
ance of the year On the advancing
side the feature of the market
was l. G.. y. adjustments which, at
81, were at new high on this move
ment. Buying represented tardy
recognition of favorable earnings.
Missouri, Kansas and Texas adjust
ments were firm today as all the
week, but without much net change.
S77.OOO.OOO in New Offerings.
High-grade rails were not espe-
cially active today, but on the week
the group has been consistently firm.
In fact, dealers We're at loss to ex-
plain the buying demand for such
low-yield bonds as Norfolk and
Western consolidated As and Atchi-
son general As.
Total new offerings of the week
were more than $4,000 600. The
largest We're the Belgian 612s, al
ready referred to. and the s26,o00,000
Canadian National Railways 4l2s, sold
on AS per cent basis.
