NEW YORK. October 3o.-The
weeks operations on the Stock Ex-
change have involved comparatively
little change in the price list. Neither
side Of the speculative position has
anything to boast about.
on Wednesday, with the publica-
ton OF the brilliant quart erly reports
Of the United States Steel and Gen
eral Motors. plus the increase in the
Pennsylvania dividend, there was as
powerful an incentive for a buying
movement as has been seen for II
long time. For few hours when
there was an thrush of buying orders
the market wore the appearance of
the possible beginning of an upward
campaign. But during the next two
days enthusiasm petered out and
trading got back into the rut again.
On the other hand, professionals.
who from time to time have been try
ing out the short side have discov-
cred that they were the only ones
doing the selling. The liquidation Of
the early Autumn has ceased. The
market is in a stronger position, but
SO far attempts to start a new cam
paign for the rise like that Of a year
ago and that Of the Midsummer have
not succeeded.
Hold OF for Election.
Some observers think that Wall
Street is holding back to see what
next Tuesdays elections will bring
forth Others feel that. irrespective
of the election results. there are
enough points of uncertainty in the
business situation to warrant pro-
ceeding with caution.
These points are. first, the reac-
ton in the automobile trade and its
effect on steel productions; second
the increasing competition In vsri-
GUS important lines which for the
last few months has been narrowing
the profit margin and. third. the
abnormally low price OF cotton, with
what these suggest for future husi-
ness conditions in the South.
The United Steel Cooperation
made q wonderful showing. the best
II has ever made for the third quar-
ter in peace times. But the state
ment gave no hint as to the effect
upon earnings in the last three
months of the year Of the curtail
ment in the automobile program, of
the falling off in the buying Of steel
for the building trades and the let
up in business from the agricultural
implement makers.

tonnage are impressive. They have
been breaking records for all time
The street has seen them translated
into very satisfactory gross and net
earnings. But, as against this, the
dividend paying railway shares, even
allowing for the recent setback, have
had very substantial advance Most
of them have probably discounted the
tonnage movement and the earnings
statements. unless these are going to
eventuste in higher dividends.
1t was rather surprising that the
raising Of the Pennsylvania dividend
from a 6 to per cent basis did
not serve as more Of q stimulant. One
OF the most conservative railway
boards in the country was voting it's
confidence in the business future and
issued an invitation for other carriers
who have been piling up surpluses
and for years spending extraordinary
amounts for maintenance to do more
also for their stockholders. Yet such
advances as occurred from time to
time during the week in the railway
list did not carry on. The railway
market has been consistently firm,
but signs Of sustained revival have
not yet appeared.
Money Offerings Increase.
IN the Closing week or october,
which SO often in the past has wit
messed tight money and a pulling in
OF credit, the spectacle has been pre-.
sented of money offerings on the in
crease. of loans for longer periods
quoted at reduced rates. II this IL the
state Of things at the climax of the
crop-moving season, what will money
conditions be in January when the
funds needed to send the crops to
market return to the reserve centers?
The bond market has had this thought
in mind and investment buying has at
times been active
The extraordinary feature, however.
has been foreign bonds. Dealings in
this section have attained record pro.
portions. The buying wave has swept
through the market for French, Bel.
gian and Italian securities, carrying
some OF them to the highest Of the
year. Other classes Of bonds have
been getting out OF reach and conse.
Quently the high yield Of foreign
bonds has made its appeal to invest
ment capital.
Foreign Situation Improves.
This Is one aspect of the movement.
The other is that with a stabilization
of the Belgian currency and with the
recovery In French francs and in Ital-
ian lire, the improved position abroad
has been recognized. The remarkable

Cony High school will send another
