CORN GIVES LIFT TO OTHER GRAINS Many Reports Declare Yield 50 Per Cent
 Under Expectations

CHICAGO, Oct. 29-Corn jumped rapidly in price today, and gave lift to values in every grain pit on cx-' change. Numerous reports were cur rent that husking was showing 50 per cent reduction from the corn yield which had been looked for. The corn market closed buoyant, 2%c to SNc net higher, with December delivery commanding $1. .%1.o7% a bushel. Wheat closed firm. 1%e to 2Ac up, December, &.44h
 a1.44A and May $1.49h @1.49A. Oats at %c to E ole advance and provisions varying from 25c decline to a rise of 32c.
 All grain closed at virtually the top prices of the day. Late buying of corn was especially impressive, with pre- vious sellers Hurried and in general rush to alter their market position. Earlier and during the first hour in particular, the corn market had a down ward tendency owing to wheat weak ness. Offerings corn, however, were scarce and with news about husking becoming more and more bullish, the corn market soon began a swift uptrun, the poor husking returns coming from a very wide territory.
 Special significance wat attached to word that the Pacific northwest were corn fseely In Omaha for November and December shipment. There were also estimates that the corn crop in Iowa? the banner corn state, would be at least 100000, 900 bushels less than in 1923. Reports from the best sections of Illinois likewise were the subject of much attention and ap- peared to confirm extreme deprecia- tion of the corn yield.
 Apparent slowness of wheat export business was responsible for early weakness of wheat. Both wheat and oats, however, were quickly responsive when corn started up grade.

NEW ORLEANS COTTON

NEW ORLEANS, Oct. 29.-The cot ton market again showed an advancing tendency today notwithstanding bear ish weekly weather and crop report and less favorable spot advices, many i'm terior markets reporting an easier basis. During the morning prices gained A to 2S points over the closing levels of yesterday mainly on the fa- vorable news from the British elections but lost some of the gain during the afternoon closing only g points higher on December and points up on Janu- ary,
 Liverpool cables were easier than due but despite that fact the market opened steady and unchanged. After the opening call prices eased off owing to the weekly weather and crop report proving more favorable than expected. Prices soon rallied A to 45 points up from the early low but a good part of the close showing net gains for the day of 4 to g points. ss
 Weekly weather and crop report was something of a surprise because while 1t admitted that severe to killing frosts had visited nearly the whole of the northern belt 1t claimed that no dam age had been done E f'.s.-,
 The afternoon reaction was due large ly to liquidation and to selling of De- cember by spot interests and news of a lower spot basis in the interior. Total exports for the day reached 34, ,263 bales, of which 14,898 bales were cleared to Japan from the Pacific coast.

COTTON RALLIES
 AFTER DECLINES
Trading Is Active And Improvement Is Not
 Fully Maintained

NEW YORK, Oct. 29.-Early declines were followed by rallies in the cotton market today, but trading was more ac- tive than previously this week and the improvement was not fully maintained. January sold up from 2S.2sc to 23.76c and closed at 23.55c, the general market closing steady at net advances of to 8 points.
 The opening was steady at decline of 2 to 10 points and active months sold about 20 to 25 points net lower in the early trading, owing to renewed releas- ing and selling for a reaction. The lat ter was encouraged by relatively easy Liverpool cables and a favorable in depreciation of the weekly report of the weather bureau. Trade interests were buyers on a scale down, however, and after easing off to 23.15c for Decem- Der and 23.6Oc for March, the market steadied on reports of steady spot mar kets in the eastern belt, expectations of large exports for the balance of the week and reports that comparatively few hedging orders were reaching here from the south.
 December rallied to 2s.61c and March to 24.05c on covering or re-buying by early sellers, but the demand failed to broaden and after showing net ad- vances of 20 to B points the market eased back to about yesterdays clos ing quotations Much of the days trad ing was attributed to the evening up of scattering accounts for over election day. Local brokers said 8 good part of the selling early was due to expec- tations of a reaction after the sharp ad- vances of the last two days. The late setback was accompanied by reports that spot demand was less active in the southwest with the basis a shade easier and the southwest was credited with selling.
 Liverpool cables reported a poor un- dertone owing to more favorable crop news and that trade calling had been offset by hedge selling.
 Exports today 33,963, making 1,7S5,64e so far this season. Port receipts, 70,692. United States port stocks, 1,172,05S.

STEADY; 2. RAHSSOUGHT Conflicting Movements Mark Trading In Most
 Sections

NEW YORK, Oct. 2e.-Bond prices held relatively steady today although conflicting price movements marked trading in virtually all departments, buying orders were most effective in railroad liens.
 Announcement that negotiations for the lease of the Norfolk and Western to the Pennsylvania railroad had been abandoned cause a break in the Nor folk and Western Convertible 6s, which closed the day with 8 net loss of 2h points.
 Other railroad issues, however, re- sponded to a steady demand, with sub- stantial gains scored by Atchison ad- justment As, New York Central 6s, St. Paul refunding 4hs, Chicago and Alton 31ks and Kansas City Southern 5s.
 Seaboard issues were active in pros- poets that the road will profit by the completion of it's new branch line in Florida.
 Price changes were narrow and in- significant in other sections of the list. Weakness persisted in sugar company issues. American Sugar 6s and Eastern Cuban Sugar 71ss receding point or more.
 New bond offerings tomorrow inclue $6,000, 900 National Steel Car Lines conn pony 6 per cent. equipment notes, is- sued under the Philadelphia plan, which will be sold to yield 4.25 to 6 per cent, and $3,950,000 Michigan highway and 4A per cent bonds prjted at s9h and 102, respectively.

STOCK LOSSES
 ARE LIMITED
 TO FRACTIONS
Pre-Election Dullness Is Characteristic Of Days
 Uneven Market

NEW YORK, Oct 29.-Pre-election dullness characterized today's uneven stock market. Speculative interest was confined to a few issues, transactions In which were influenced by recent trade or news developments, the main body of stocks drifting lower with losses, as a rule, limited to fractions.
 iFailure of the United States Steel cor poration to earn it's full dividend re- quirements in the third quarter brought about some selling of the steel shares. United States Steel common closed a point lower at 107A and most of the independents yielded fractionally. Re- vival of activity in Pennsylvania Sea board, which closed slightly higher, re- flected the elimination of heavy inter est charges through the liquidation of bank loans.
 Investment rails displayed a firm tone. the unusually heavy car loadings and favorable September earnings reports acting as a sustaining influence. At chison and Atlantic Coast Line closed about a point higher, but Norfolk and Western fell back 1% on reports that negotiations for the leasing of that road to the Pennsylvania had been broken off.
 New 1924 highs were established in the railroad group by the preferred stocks of the Omaha, Pittsburg and West Virginia. Colorado and Southern (firsD, and Pittsburg, Fort Wayne and Chicago.
 Merchandising issues continued to de- velop outstanding points of strength. Montgomery-Ward and company was bid up 1 # points to a new high for the year at 391e, while H. R. Mallinson ad- vanced points to 28, a new top on the current movement, Simmons com pany also attained a new peak price at 32A.
 American Tobacco issues jumped about points each on announcement of increased dividends but sold off about point from their highs in the later trading. Maxwell Motors "A" continued it's rise to new high ground on buying influenced by reports of rec ord-breaking car sales. Good buying also was noted in Beechnut Packing, American Metals, International Busi- ness Machines and St. Joseph, up to 8 points.
 American Ice broke more than 3 points to 73A on rumors of new fi- nahcing but later rallied to above ,75 on a denial of these reports. South Porto Rican Sugar broke points to new low at 5S and American Waterworks and and West Pennsylvania Power each showed net losses of points. Other weak spots were General Electric, Amer ican Bosch Magneto, Congoleum, Man haitian Electrical Supply and American Express, off 1h to 2h points.
 Call money held steady at 21s per cent. Time money and commercial pa per rates were unchanged with busi- ness quiet.
 Foreign exchange rates held firm de- spite unprecedented grain and cotton ex- ports in the last few weeks. Demand sterling advanced slightly to around $4.5eas and French francs ruled just under 514 cents.
