SHARP STOCK GAINS
REMAIN UNABATED
Saturday Market Strong,
With New High Marks in
Many Leading Issues.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, September 12.-Spec-
ulation for the rise continued unabat-
ed in today's brief session of the stock
market.
Easy money rates, favorable trade
reports, rumors of higher dividends
and several other generally accepted
DulliSh factors were brought forward
by pool managers to explain the fur
ther appreciation in quoted values.
Several new highs were recorded in
the motor group, particularly by
shares of the so-called quantity pro
ducers. Mail order and merchandise
ing shares swept forward under the
leadership of SearsRoebuck, which
reached new high territory.
The increased demand for soft coal
arising from the suspension of anthra
cite mining was reflected in the steady
accumulation of Pittsburgh and West
Virginia, which crossed 81 to record
high.
American Can duplicated the years
high of 24S, but later fell back on prof
it-taking.
The closing was strong. Total sales
approXimated ,UG0 shares.

WHEAT IN TUMBLE
ON CROP REPORTS
Much Larger Estimates
Prove Surprise-Corn Also
Goes Lower During Week.
BIZ the Associated Press.

CHICAGO, September 12.-New Of
fetal estimates that the 1925 yield of
Spring wheat in the United States will
be 81 900 900 bushels larger than eX-
pected and that production in Canada
will show 10000 900 bushels increase
have given a setback to prices in the
wheat market this week. Compared
with week ago, wheat this morning
was Ia to 2A cents lower, with corn
cent advance, oats, unchanged to 5s
and ~ cent higher and provisions IL
to so cents off.
Reports Caused Surprise.
Previous to the issue of the latest
figures from Government sources, the
wheat market had been tending up
ward, stimulated by a big falling off
in the amount of wheat on ocean pas
sage and by a belief in some quarters
that values would advance after the
Government reports were out of the
way. Some increase of the domestic
crop estimate had been looked for,
but no such amount as proved to be
the case. Changes in the Canadian
forecast Of yield were less Of a sur
price to the trade, but nevertheless
had a material effect in forcing quo
tations down.
wheat at Canadian terminals attracted
much notice, but on the other hand
there We're indications that owner
ship of a large part of the grain was
being kept in the hands of producers.
Another steadying influence was that
toward the end of the week, many
Would-be speculative sellers here were
apparently being checked by the cir
cumstance that the market had un-
dergone 20 cents a bushel decline in
the last month. Noticeable improve
ment in the domestic flour demand
was also a stabilizing factor.
Corn Also Lower.
Notwithstanding that the Govern
ment crop report as to corn confirmed
heavy damage by drought, the price
Of corn averaged lower, as a result
of sympathy with the action of
wheat. Oats were helped by asser-
tions that hereafter receipts would
dwindle.
Provision prices were weakened by
liquidating sales on the part of hold
ers of September and October lard.

MOTORS HOLD UP WELL.
Heavy Selling Follows Record Ad

BY STUART p. WEST.
Special Dispatch to The star.
NEW YORK, September 12.-An.
other active session in the stock mar
ket today left off without much
change in the general list. The up
ward movement continued during the
first hour, but in the second and last
hours a slight reaction occurred. The
selling was heavier relative to the new
buying than. on any day of the week.
Remarkable Showing.
The leaders among the motor shares
made another remarkable showing
General Motors sold at a new high
early in the day, but did not do much
later. 1t was Studebaker and WHY'S
Overland which provided the big fea-
lures. Studepaker, under the same
powerful buying which took the stock
out of it's rut around 4S and pushed
it through so, got well across Sc. The
high figures were reached Just before
the close. The trading in Willys-Over-
land was extremely heavy, With the
stock up over , points.
Among the motor accessories the
strong points were Hayes Wheel and
Timken Roller Bearing. The rubber
and tire shares were not as prominent
as they had been on other days.
Steel Shares Active.
Some of the independent steel shares
were in better demand. The continued
advance in Youngstown Sheet and
Tube which reached a new high, was
associated with the usual merger ru-
mors. Republic Steel and Crucible
Steel were both up point, but United
States Steel did comparatively little.
The rise of the last two days in
Worthington Pump appeared TO be
based on rather indefinite reports of
improvement in business. The COM
pany had a fairly good year In 1923,
but made no money TO speak of in
1924. For the first quarter Of 1925
unofficial advices were that there was
a small deficit after charges and de-
preciation, but before preferred Givi-
dends.

NEW YORK, September 1.-THE
rise in the low-priced Penna. Coal

the beginning of the anthracite strike
In common with the strength in other
soft-coal producers the explanation

benefits which the soft-coal trade will
reap from hard Goals cut down.
But there is another version of
the advance in Pennsylvania coal
