nuN,s REVIEW

NEW YORK, Sept. FIR. G. Dun & Co.'s current summary of general busi- ness follows, in part:
 A natural stimulus to business has come with the advancing season, al- though expected autumn gains have not developed fully. Progress during the third quarter has been substantial, but it has varied considerably In different trades, and operations remain under restraint even in lines where activity has increased most. The lack of a more vigorous commercial expansion is part ly accounted for by political conditions, which still cause hesitation, an in some cases commitments are being held back because of doubts about future prices. Uncertainty in the steel industry, with an abatement of demand, has resulted from a new method of quoting prices. while cotton goods markets have been unsettled again by wide fluctuations in raw material prices, due to changes in crop estimates. Yet some of the influe- ences which now hinder business are not likely to prove more than tempOr- ary, and there is clear evidence that, despite existing drawbacks, the situa- tion as a whole shows improvement. Even with a continued disinclination in most instances to produce beyond orders or to buy beyond actual needs, the volume of transactions has en- larRed, and reports from widely sepa- rated sections disclose better senti- ment. The stronger confidence is sup orted by several favorable statistical measures, notably the returns of freight traffic, and the chief disappointment seems to lie in the fact that trade has not broadened suddenly With the open ing of the fall season. Recovery from depression, however, usually does not come quickly, an6 the recent moderate and irregular gains have been surpris- ing only to those who had expected rapid revival.

STEEL MARKET
 STILL CONFUSED
Companies A,e Still Working On
 New Price Basis

NEW YORK, Sept. 27.-Steel com panies are still working on the new price basis and the market remains somewhat confused with complication appearing in the naming of differentials in various territories. Buying is for prompt needs only and bookings for September are behind the previous month, fabricated orders being equiva- lent to only about 45 per cent of shop capacity. Pig iron Is rather quiet in the outcome of the new steel pricing system.
 Copper has remained quiet with prices holding around the Recent level for electrolytic. Both buyers and sell CTS are said to be awaiting develop ments. The former appear to be sup piled for immediate needs, while the latter anticipate an increased export demand as supplies of scrap copper abroad have been much reduced and 1t Is believed an improvement in demand resulting from the separations settle ment must be supplied by importa- tions. At present, however, retail lots are still said to be offering in Europe below a parity with American mar kets and domestic buyers evidently be- lieve current output Is sufficient to meet requirements.
 Tin has continued sensitive to opera tions by big London interests and after declining sharply, rallied on covering and good demand from consumers.
 Lead remains quiet and unchanged, although an easier trend has been noted in the west.

WHEAT VALUES
 WHIRL UPWARD Soar On Huge Export Sales And Fear Of
 Frost Damage

eSiCHICAGO, Sept. 27.-Immense export business in wheat, together with fear that the crop was in imminent danger of big damage by frost, whirled grain prices upward today, but lively profit taking wiped out the wheat gains, On the advance. all deliveries of wheat and of rye outdld the seasons previous top price record. Wheat closed easy at Ac net decline to hc rise; December, S1. .3SM @1.3 .3s% and May, $1.4401. A; :, with corr 3% Sc up, oats showing hc to %Nhc advance, and provisions unchanged to 15c higher
 It was stimated that export purchas- ing of wheat amounted to 3,000,000 bushels. In addition, foreign buying of future deliveries of wheat were of con- siderable magnitude. Meanwhile, re- ports were current that the rye crop in Germany was so meagre the German import requirements would exceed the total crop of rye in the United States and that quantities of wheat would have to be bought instead of rye. Com plaints were also at hand telling of wheat crop damage and harvest delay in Great Britain andy other European countries.
 Beneficial rains in Argentina and In- dia tended on the other hand to dispel somewhat tue anxpety oL wheat buyers, and to bring about realizing sales on the part of holders able to collect a profit. Prospects of more favorable weather in- Canada than has been the rule of late counted likewise toward eff fecting 8 setback in the final dealings
 Corn prices were buoyant from start to finish. At times the corn market was even more active that wheat Nervousness concerning frost was due fn 1fpex nA this time would be disastrous to corn not fully matured. Oats sympathized with corn.
 Provisions were influenced both by hogs and grain.

CURB EXCHANGE

NEW YORK, Sept. 27.-The profit taking movement, that created some un- settlement in the course of prices late yesterday, had no perceptible effect in the dealing in today's snort session on the curb exchange Buying developed on broad scale at the opening and new high records were reported in many parts. Most importance was attached to the material advance in Gillette Safety Razor which rose 20 points on comparatively small transactions. The new shares also moved up to a new high, selling to 59A. Consolidated Gas of Baltimore, when issued, improved about l point, selling to new figures. Radio shares held steady around the high levels reached on recent upturns.

 Dubilier Condenser after selling at a new high, reacted at 52. Radio corpora tion issues were strong, both before and after the listing of these stocks on the New York Stock exchange, the new preferred stock being among those to make new high records. Interest was attached to the trading in American Ha- waiian Steamship, which rose points.
 Petroleum stocks were irregular Ohio Ofl advanced nearly three points and Prairie Oil, after advancing 4 points, lost all its gain. Vacuum oil was traded in on the largest scale of the Standard Oil group, advancing nearly 5 points.

COTTON ERRATIC
 AFTER BIG RISE December Breaks After Reaching New High
 Movement

NEW YORK, Sept 27.--The cotton, market today was extremely nervous and irregular following Fridays big advance. After selling off to 24.62c in the early trading, December advanced to 23.13c, a new high record for the movement, but later broke to 24.45o and closed at 24.50c, the general market closing weak at a net decline of 34 to 42 points. The market opened steady at unchanged prices to decline of 10 points. Weakness developed under southern hedge selling, weekend real reactions after yesterdays rapid ad- vance. The failure of early weather news to contain any mention of frost in the southwest probably disappointed some of yesterdays buyers. great many contracts, however, were taken. out of the market on the decline to, 25 soc for October and 2469c for Janu- ary, or about 20 to 25 points below yes-' terday's closing quotations. This ew- dently strengthened the technical po- sition of the market and when early sellers attempted to cover on reports of continued rains and predictions for still colder weather in the southwest. Con- tracts appeared to be comparatively scarce.
 October sold up to 25.9sc, and Janu- ary to 25.16c. making met advances of
 
 belt forecast was for frost in northwest Arkansas, Oklahoma and Texas, but was unsettled by the relatively easy rul- the new high prices attracted renewal of heavy realizing and the late market ing of October, accompanied by rumors of selling against intended shipments here for delivery, and of realizing by some of the larger holders of contracts.
 October broke to 25.20c and January to 26.50c in the late trading, making net declines of about 36 to 55 points on the active positions. The opinion among most local traders apeared to be that 1t was too early In the season for any thing like killing temperatures in the south,- but it seemed that the days weather news as whole had tended to strengthen expectations of fur ther reduction in estimates of the crop.
 Cotton on shipboard awaiting clear ance was estimated at 103,000 bales, against 127, ,000 last year.

NEW oRLEANs CorroN

NEW ORLEANS, Sept. 27.-The cot ton market was very active today for g short Saturday session and prices fluctu- ated within a wide range. October reached 25c at the start for the first time on the present upward movement but closed at 24.41c, the low price of the day. chewing a spread og 59 points December, the most active trading month, after advancing to 25.06c, de- clined to 24.39c, spread of 67 points. That month at the highest was 35 points above the previous close and at the lowest g points below. The net de- cline for the day on other months were 31 to 35 points
 At the start the market was 24 points up owing to favorable Liver pool cables but prices soon eased off on weekend realizing, losing 50 to 55 points. When the weather map was posted showing more rains in the east ern belt general cloudiness in the best as a whole and light to heavy frost in and the advance was accelerated by a forecast predicting unsettled weather in the belt over Sunday and frost in the northern part of the western belt. l This bulge carried prices up 54 to 61 points from the earlier lows. In the last few minutes of trading the market broke badly on heavy liquidation by longs and active short selling and new lows for the day were established right at the close, December trading at 2439c.
 Cables reported the firnness in Liver pool as due to shorts covering on un- favorable weather reports from the south. While the local market made a fair response to the firmness of LiV- erpool, New York ignored 1t and showed weakness from the start. Aside from the weather there was little market news except that Fall River reported an increasing demand for print cloths and the yarns markets were higher with an urgent demand for goods for immediate delivery.
 Beginning Monday the New Orleans market will open at g o'clock a. m., and close at p. m

MOTOR STOCKS LEAD MARKET
 IN ADVANCES
Public Utilities And Rails Also Strong In Act
 i've Session

NEW YORK, Sept. 27.-Pronounced strength of the motors and public utili- ties and the uniformly strong tone Of the rails were the chief developments in today's brief but active session of the stock market. United States Steel crossed 109, for a net gain of x, but many of the other standard industrials showed a tendency to heaviness.
 Nash Motors was the individual fea- ture, soaring Il points to 161, the high est price since the distribution of a stock dividend two years ago. Other motors improved in sympathy, Packard touching a new high at IA and Stude- baker, Maxwell B and Spicer Msnufac- turing duplicating their previous 1924 peak prices. Reports of increased car sales formed the basis for the buying of these issues.
 Public utilities continued to respond to reports of high earnings and rumors of increased dividend disbursements. Laclede Gas, Pacific and Electric, Standard Gas and Electric Public Service of New Jersey and Consoli- dated Gas of Baltimore breaking through their previous top levels.
 St Louis San Frascisco railroad is- sues continued to discount the expected declaration of a dividend on the pre- ferred stock at next Wednesdays meet ing of the board of directors, the com mon tOucnlnS ol ana the preIerFeu oo7s. Atchison led the advance in high priced carriers, moving up more than points to 107%, Southern Pacific, Lackawanna, New York Central and several others improved fractionally.
 United States Cast Iron Pipe was bid up nearly 4 points to a new top at 115 on urgent short covering, easing later to 113B Good buying also was noted in Commercial Solvents B, Du Pont Iron Products, Remington Typewriter and Norfolk and Southern, all up 2 points or more. American Tobacco, American Sugar, United Fruit, General Electric and National Lead were among the heavy spots.
 Foreign exchanges eased slightly in quiet trading. Demand sterling ruled about 1ac lower around $4.46A and French francs held relatively steady just above 5A cents. Other European rates showed only nominal changes. rlro
