STOCK PRICES @ SWING UPWARD Nearly Two Dozen Rail
 Shares Show Remark able Increase

NEW YORK, Oct. 21.-Stock prices swung upward again today under the leadership of the railroad shares, the de- mand for which arose from the splendid Showing made by the first of September earnings reports to make their appear ance. Nearly two dozen rails closed at net gains of 1 to 2 points. New 1924 peak prices being attained on Frisco common, Southern Railway preferred, Gulf, Mobile and Northern preferred and Colorado and Southern. Active in- dustrials also displayed better tone de- spite the renewal of selling pressure against the sugars, based on labor troubles and political disturbances in Cuba and against such individual is- sues as Bethlehem Steel, which was hammered down to 39$, the lowest price since 1911, and American Woolen, which advanced nearly 2 points to 54% and then recovered more than half of its loss.
 Heavy buying of Frisco common, whicha advanced nearly 2 points to B6h, again overshadowed other develop ftnents in the railroad group. All other western carriers also were in demand on publication of the Union Pacific's re- port showing net operating income of S1, ,9S3, ,000, an increase of $456,0 or S.3 per cent over September, 1923, and the highest for any September since 1919. Rock Island common and 6 per cent preferred, Chicago Great Western pre- .ferred, Lehigh Valley, Katy" preferred the Missouri Pacific and Seaboard Air Line issues and Wabash preferred were among the many shares to close a point pr so higher
 United States Steel common was un- affected by the selling. of Bethlehem, closing unchanged at 107. Sears, Roe buck common scored points to a new peak at 111h. Revival of activity in H. R. Mallinson, which closed nearly 1h points higher, was attributed to inside accumulation, based on the substantial Improvement in the financial condition of the company.
 Further improvement was noted in the oil shares, although the net gains, as a rule were small. Some of the other in dividual strong spots were the Ameri- can Hide and Leather issues, General Electric, Maxwell motors "A," Worth lngton pump, United States Industrial Alcohol, Davidson Chemical, Fiske Rub- Der first preferred, Goodrich, Iron Products, National Lead, Otis Elevator, Tidewater, U. s. Cast Iron Pipe pre- ferred, Universal Pipe and Radiator pre- ferred and Woolworth up IF to points.
 Consolidated Gas of Baltimore broke Q points on a few sales, American Wa terworks dropped 2h and American Su- gar refining, Cuba Cane preferred, Great Western Sugar and Punta Alegre lost a point or two.
 Call money ruled unchanged at per cent. The time money market contin- ued quiet with borrowers showing no lncliniation to raise their bid and tend FITS refusing to make concessions. Com rnercial paper rates held steady. Strength of sterling, both here and in London was a feature of the foreign exchange market The local demand rate ruled around $4495s, up about a cent Dutch exchange was also strong, demand bills jumping about 20 points to around 39.34 cents Other European rates showed only nominal changes.

COTTON MARKET
 SHOWS ADVANCE
Uncertainty Exists As To Government Crop Re-
 port Saturday

NEW YORK, Oct. 21.-Advances in the cotton market today seemed to re- fleet uncertainty as to whether next Saturdays government report would confirm increased crop estimates and re- ports of a firm spot situation in the south. December sold up to 22.s4c, or AZ points net higher and closed at 22.S1c, the general market closing steady at net advances of S1 to 67 points.
 The market opened steady at an ad- vance of\6 to 13 points on relatively firm Liverpool cables. Some offerings on a belief that the tropical storm re- ported over the extreme southern end of Florida would work eastward to sea, were readily absorbed and buying became a little more active following reports that one of the private authori- ties estimated the crop indication at only 12,140,000 bales. Trade interests were among the buyers, while there was rebuying by sellers on the larger pri- vate crop figures of yesterday. The volume of demand tapered off, however, or about 46 points above yesterdays s close quotations.
 Two other private crop reports were issued. One made the condition 53.4, indicating a yield of 12,366,000 bales, while the other placed the condition at 55 and the indicated yield at 12,83S, GOO bales. These figures checked buying on the more bullish earlier report, but offerings were comparatively light and the market closed within to 13 points of the best.
 Private estimates on ginning on Oc- tober ranged from 7,140,000 to 7,500, ,000 bales.
 Reports that spinners of American cotton in Lancashire would increase their working time from 26A to 32 hours hours per week, beginning November 8, were one of the factors on the midday advance. .r
 Exports today 33.434, making 1,553,- 626 so far this season. Port receipts, S4,743. United States port stocks, o60,- 557.

NEW YORK, Oct. 21.-Cotton goods market held steady today but business in the gray goods division was lighter. Buying in finished lines broadened slow ly, with the approach of election given as a cause for hesitancy in placing spring orders. Yarns were steady but quiet. The advances named on mems wear lines have been followed by a mod erately increasing business and by ef- forts to buy some of the lines at the low prices prevailing before the uplift. Rurlap markets were steadier on re- ports of recovery In the primary mar kets. Jobbers reported moderate amount of filling-in business.

GRAIN LETTERS

CHICAGO, Oct. 21.-Wheat: Excited One of the leading local bulls was cred tied with heavy purchases while prominent eastern operator was said to be the principal seller. Prices covered a wide range and showed unusual nervousness. There was buying credit ed to yesterdays principal sellers but the same interest sold on bulges. We continue to faor the long side on all substantial setbacks, feeling that the worlds situation justifies a higher range of values.
 Corn: Showed strength, although held in check by the cratic action of wheat. There was talk of export business and Seaboard finally estimated 125,000 worked since late yesterday with Hol- land and Rotterdam the buyers.
 Rye: Nervous market refIecting the action in wheat. The buying was not as influential as recently and dis appeared on bulges.-Fenner & Bcane to Kahn & Virgin.
 CHICAGO, Oct. 21.-Liverpool wheat prices fully sympathized with our weak ness yesterday and Buenos Aires was slightly lower because of moderate rains, nonetheless Jour market has been
 
 lieve the foreign demand will revive within a moderately short time. Sea board estimates export sales totalled upward to 10000 bushels, partly for defered shipment. Broomhall reports an estimate of world requirements showing a total exportable surplus of 64,0O0,O0C in excess of probable requirements. Pre- vaiiing prices have been built up on a persistent foreign demand and now that this demand Is failing and giving indi- cation that imemdiate needs have been supplied, there is no remaining motive for an advance except decidedly un' favorable news from southern hemis phere crops, which Is not indicated al the moment.
 Rather inactive markets in corn anC oats, speculatively as well as from a cash standpoint. Some bullish senti ment was created by a reported expor sale of 80,000 bushels.-John F. Clark S Go.
 It is estimated in Wall street tha earnings of s. S. Kresge & Co., this yea will average in the neighborhood of $4 a share. The company earned slightl! more than $26 a share in the nin' months ended September 30, and is pay ing $S a hare on the stock annually.
