CHICAGO'S GRAIN PRICES.

CHICAGO, September 26 CP.-Un-
expected wheat quotations at Liver
pool helped give an early lift today
to wheat prices here. The upturn of
values abroad was ascribed to pros
poets that world shipments for the
week would prove to be small At
tention of traders here was also di-
rected to a statement from leading au-
thorities that with the exception of a
few undesirable qualities of North
west wheat there is no pressure of
actual wheat anywhere in this coun-
try. Chicago opening prices, 20 lower
to 1Aup, December 1.431s to 14312
and May 1-441z to Las. We're followed
by all-around gains, but then by a
setback for the September delivery,
whereas December and May continued
to ascend.
Corn and oats sympathized with
wheat strength. After opening at Il
to q higher, December 1914 to 1885,
the corn market continued to develop
f1rmness except for September.
Oats started at Il to II advance,
December 391a to 395s. Later the
gains We're increaS Sed.
Provisions reflected the upward
trend of cereals.

FRENCH DEBT MOVES
GRIP STOCK INTEREST
Wall Street Notes Strength in
French Bonds-Rates on
Money Studied.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, September 26.-Chief
financial interest this week centered
in the opening of the French debt ne
gotiations, which was reflected in the
activity and strength OF French gov
ernment bonds. the Is mounting to a
new high for the year. and the firm
ness Of French exchange. The stock
market went through n sharp reac-
ton, which was generally described
as a further correction of an over
bought speculative condition, but
made partial recovery later
Money rates were a dominating in
f1uence on the price movements in
the stock market. Marking up of the
rate on call loans to per cent, the
highest since January, 1924, in the
middle of the week was the signal
for heavy selling for both accounts,
which was accentuated by fears,
which later proved to be unfounded,
that the New York Federal Reserve
Bank would increase it's rediscount
rate.
The stiff call money rate proved to
be only temporary, and undoubtedly
reflected the correction by New York
banks of the deficit in reserve shown
in last Saturdays clearing house
statement.

WALL STREET LIST

Short Selling and Profit
Taking Lower Stocks.
Closing Is Heavy.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK. September 26.-Short
selling and profit taking were resumed
in the stock market today, causing
the entire list to waver after initial
exhibitions of strength in the motor
and specially shares.
Apparently weakened by yesterdays
spectacular reCoverieS, the market
proved vulnerable to attacks from
the bear element inspired by the belief
that money rates will continue high
until the period of monthly settle
ments has been passed and may be
permanently hardened by growing
business demand.
Selling pressure was concentrated
against the high-priced industrials,
with the weakness of United States
Steel unsettling the rest of the list.
General Electric broke more than 5
points and American Can and Mack
Trucks and Eastman Kodak to Az.
Constructive efforts We're not en-
tirely abandoned, however. Buying
of the baking shares, based on merger
reports, lifted General Baking 142
points to a record high at 1872 and
brought about moderate advances in
Cushman and Ward Baking b. Some
of the tobacco and mercantile issues
also were under accumulation.
The closing was heavy. Sales ap-
proXimated 500, 900 shares.

BUTTER PRICES HIGHER.

CHICAGO, September &c C0.-Dur-
ing the week the butter markets
were featured by firm sentiment, ac-
tive trading and the naturally re-
sulting price advances, with short sup
plies of fresh goods one of the pri-
mary factors. This was noticeable
on all markets, more particularly,
however, at Chicago and New York.
Prices advanced 1la to 2 cents, and at
the close sentiment was firmer than
at the beginning of the week.
Butter scoring 81 to SO was de-
cidedly short in supply, due un-
doubtedly to the general decrease In
receipts and partly to a falling off in
quality. In spite Of this. the medium
and lower scores were not plentiful,
and at times scarcely sufficient for the
demand.
About the only nervousness regard.
ing the butter markets at prevail
ing price levels was expressed by
those in fear of a decline in con-
sumer demand. It is a we'll known
fact that demand from the consuming
public is directly influenced by prices.

fcan currency, which for many months
has been quoted steadily around 4.2O
marks, rose Unexpectedly the past

quotation remained at 4.2O, numerous
cases have been observed where as

In financial circles the opinion pre-
walls that the placing of this premium
on greenbacks was caused by specu-
lators interested in the slump of the

a new drop of the zloty, many Poles
are trying to hoard dollars, just as

SETBACK IS SEVERE
IN GRAIN MARKET
Sensational Wheat Break
During Week Largely Due
to Big Crops Abroad.
By the Associated Press.


CHICAGO, September 26.-With
European wheat production back to
virtually pre-war average and with
wheat prices in this country on about
an import basis for wheat from
Canada, grain values here have suf
Compared with a week ago wheat this
morning was 75s to 91s a bushel
lower, corn 3as to 101a down and oats
q to 23s off, whereas provisions were
5 cents to Sl.10 higher.
Wheat Exports Very Low.
Wheat prices first began to slip
seriously when announcement was
made that the worlds available supply
showed an increase of 10,483 900
bushels for the week and that export
shipments of wheat and -four from
the United States in the last two
months were more than 100000
bushels short of the corresponding
total year ago. Definite figures on
European wheat production emphasiZ-
ed this situation, and SO, too, did re-
ports which were current that the
Canadian crop movement was proving
TO be the largest ever known for this
early in the season with the Chicago
wheat market taking the brunt of the
hedging sales not only of United
States wheat, but also of Canadian.
Foreign News Big Factor.
Sensational breaks in the price of
wheat, however, came only after a
leading grain company official who
has just returned from abroad as
serted that Europe has SO big crop
of wheat and rye that European i'm
port requirements of wheat will be
reduced $50 900, 600 bushels, as com.
pared with last year, and that much
lower prices would be witnessed. On
the ensuing smash in values wheat
and every other kind of grain estab-
lished new low price records for 1925.
subsequently further breaks, accom-
panied reports that the Canadian
wheat growers pool was offering
wheat to Europe-on a bargain-counter
basis.
Corn and Oats Weak.
Official informat ton that the bulk of
the corn crop is out of danger from
frost had much to do with the weak
ness of the corn market. Oats sagged
with corn.
Sharply higher quotations on hogs
gave a big lift to provisions.
