IMMENSE EXPANSION
IN GRAIN TRADING
Gain of 80 Cents, Per Bushel in
Wheat in Week-Crop Re
ports Cause.
the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, July 19.-Record break
ing high prices and immense expan-
sion of trading have been witnessed
this week in the grain and provision
business here. Indications that the
wheat crop in Canada might be less
than half of the yield in 1928 were
largely responsible. Compared with
a week ago, wheat this morning was
SA to 10b higher, with corn to 7k
up, oats showing 1 7s to 35s gain, and
provisions at a rise varying from
40 to 90.
Much of the excitement among
grain traders arose from assertions
that as a result of drought and hot
winds the wheat crop outlook for
Canada was the worst in 20 years. A
tremendous rush of buying ensued
and an immediate jump of cents
bushel took place. Then waves of
profit taking sales and of new buying
succeeded each other day after day.
with price fluctuations so wide and
rapid that blackboard records were
frequently i cent or more at var1-
ance with actual pit values. Mean
while foreign markets advanced even
faster than Chicago, and 1t was
pointed out that for the first time in
many months wheat grown in the
United States was in a position to
compete the world over.
At the crest of the advance in wheat
prices a gain OF about 80 cents a
bushel was shown since the low level
some six weeks ago, and the volume
of transactions had multiplied mil
lions of bushels. Toward the close
of the week, however, drenching rains
IN Canada were reported, and enthuo
siasts whoh had been talking OF $1.50
as a wheat price goal were at least
temporarily inclined to waver.
Corn and oats swung upward with
wheat Temperatures remained too
low for corn to grow well ana re-
ceipts were abnormally meager.
Provisions and hogs kept pace with
the extraordinary ascent or gram.

[OW-PR|CED RAILS
FEATURE IN BONDS
Today's Changes Fractional,
But Tone Is Firm-Week's
New Issues, $50, 900, 900.
BY GEORGE II. HUGHES.

Special Dispatch OF The Star.
NEW YORK, July /19.-The feature
OF the trading in bonds on the last
day OF the week was the low-priced
rails. Some such development was
to have been expected from the ac-
tivity in the stock market. While
the stocks have been going ahead
rapidly, the corresponding bonds
have Jagged behind.
Comparison Of prices leads to the
belief that either the stocks are too
high or the bonds are too low. A
case in point is the ST. Paul. While
the preferred stock has been ad-
vancing from 25 to 27h during a
weeks time, the 4 per cent bonds OF
1925, selling around 80, are up only
about point. And the successful
refunding of this large bond issue is
essential to a solution of the st.
PauPs difficulties.
Senboard Bonds Strong.
Seaboard Air Line adjustments have
advanced more than 8 points this week
and held the gain today. But even at
today's price the current income yield
is around per cent, and there is 12k
per cent accumulated back interest
which must be paid off before the pre-
ferred stock can come in for dividend
consideration. The movement in the
Erie issues has been more logical. All
the junior bonds were up from 2 or 3
points on the week, which is about in
keeping with the rest of the market and
with earning conditions.
The market for the purely investment
bonds has been quietly firm, without the
activity which accompanied the new
high records in the Government list
earlier in the year. At the same time
prices have been creeping upward, and
ttla Il ,, a
railroad mortgage issues have been par
ticularly strong. United States Govern
ment loans are very little changed.
Brazilian Bonds Steadier.
In the foreign group attention has
been almost monopoliZed by Brazilian
bonds. the mark ct for which. however,
steadied at the end of the week,
partly on short covering and partly
on more favorable news. French
bonds have dragged.
The weeks new financing totaled
nearly $50,000.000. The most interest
ing new issue was the Great Consoli-
dated Electric Power Company rs, the
successful placing of which showed
that the market would still take kindly
to japanese obligation.
Changes Only Fractional.

NEW YORK. July 19.-Bond trad
ing lapsed into midsummer dullness
today with prices of most issues fuc-
tuating within fractional limits in
the early dealings. Buying of the
semi-speculative rail liens, however,
gave firm tone to the market. st.
Paul obligations attracted most of
the orders and scored gains ranging
from small fractions to IL points.

CHICAGO. July 19-Rains in Can
ada and in parts of the domestic
spring crop belt led to fresh de-
clines in the price of wheat today
during the early dealings here. I'm
expected firmness Of Liverpool quo
tations had only a temporary buIlish
influence on the Chicago market
Reports, however, that the weather
of the next few days would determine
the rust question for South Dakota
and southern Minnesota attracted
considerable notice. Furthermore,
there were complaints of a wet
harvest in Nebraska. Opening prices,
which ranged from a haIr-cent de-
cline to a half-cent advance, Septem-
Der 1.24a1.25 and December 1,27h a
1.28, were followed by a material set
back all around.
Cool weather unfavorable for corn
growth tended to strengthen the
corn market. After opening un-
changed to higher, September
1.04 Y aL04h, values sagged some
what, but soon scored general
upturn.
Oats were easier, sympathizing
with wheat. The start was un-
changed to q off, September 47Aa

BOSTON, July 19 Especially 1.-The
wool market continued strong and
animated today, although many
traders believe the buying movement
of the mills has spent itself tempo
rarily. The Western growers, how

advance in prices and have disposed
advantageously of considerable of

BUSINESS TURN SEEN.

NEW YORK, July 19.-Better crop
reports. higher prices in grain and
commodity prices and the rise in Sc
curities on the stock exchange have
combined to produce an optimistic
outlook for an early revival of busi-
ness. The flood of money in the finan-
cial district, some of which is being
sent into New York by rural banks
that have thawed out their frozen as
sets has brought predictions of a pos
sible drop to 1 " per cent in the call
loan rate which has been around 2
per cent for weeks. Improvement in
prices of farm products was said to
have caused an increase in the accu
of loanable funds

crop improvement and sales rela-
lively most active. There is evidence,
however, that the continued rise in
grain prices. the very decided gain in
corn and other crop conditions. and
the cheerful tone of security markets
are causing the better feeling in
wholesale lines to take more definite
form in the shape Of willingness to
buy more freely of textiles for the
nearer future.
while jobbing trade is naturally
of a refill or recorder character, there
