WHEAT PRICES SAG
IN EARLY DEALINGS
Market Trend Is Downward, Due
to Report of Drop at
Liverpool.
BY the Associated Press.


CHICAGO. October 18.-With Ar
gentina reported as Offering wheat
lower at Liverpool, and with prospects
OF substantial Argentine shipments re-
sulting, wheat values here tended down.
ward early today. On the other hand,
Canadian offers of wheat abroad we're
apparently not following declines. Open
ing at - of cent off to 7. of a cent
up, Chicago wheat later showed set
backs all around. Corn started at a
of cent to "a of cent advance, but
subsequently went below yesterdays
finish. Oats paralleled corn. Pro-
visions were easy.
Bears in the wheat market today
attached special significance to reports
that Argentina is pressing to sell wheat
to Europe at cheaper rates. 1t was
pointed out that Argentine shipments
this week we're larger than last week,
and were nearly double the totals of a
year ago. Some notice was also taken
of the fact that the worlds available
supply of wheat last month increased
84,55l 900 bushels, against 32073. 900
bushels increase for the month last
year.
On the other hand, reports were cur
rent today to the effect that domestic
-four trade shows improvement, and
that buying Of wheat for mills is tend
ing to give steady tone to the market
for cash wheat 1t was also asserted
that Notwithstanding a large stock of
wheat at Minneapolis and generous
country marketings Northwest, no cor
responding weight on the market for
future deliveries was in evidence and
that wheat stocks Southwest are

H|GH-GRADE BONDS
SHOW F|RMER TONE
Rail, Public Utility and u. S.
Issues in Demand-Con-
vertibIeS Quiet.
BY CHARLES F. SPEARE.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK. october 18.-The firmer
tone and the increasing interest in
bonds which were evident yesterday
continued today in those parts of the
market that take their cue from money
conditions. There has been sharp
division recently between the Invest
ment and the speculative groups Of
bonds. with the large volume Of trad
ing in the latter. Present indications
are that this difference will not be so
great from now on.
Not only we're high-grade railroad
and public utility and United States
Government issues firmer. the Treas
ury 33as being up ls. but there was
considerable activity at higher prices
in number of the new A.. per cent
rails, such as Frisco, Wabash. Missouri,
Kansas. Texas and Rock Island. The
st. Paul 4i2s were also in better de-
mand. along with the strength in the
two issues of SIS. Erie refunding SIS and
Western Maryland IS had fractional
gains.
The convertible list was not so active
nor SO strong as it has been. Andes
Copper rs were of a point at one time
although Anaconda Copper rs we're l !:
points higher. Colon Oil IS, which had
a TlSE wednesday, VI - POAlUS' iODo
of this today. Liquid Carbonic IS
gained points, Remington Rand 512s
gained / - points and Dodge 6S moved
between l04l. and l0434.
Local traction bonds were distinctly
heavy especially the Interboro 5s and
New York Railway 6s. There was dls-
position to tighten commitments IN
these issues until a clear outlook OF the
fare case is available.
There was coohderable activity IN
the foreign conve.Afhles. Fiat rs with
warrants rose 3 points. The bonds with
out warrants we're unsettled and came
back to Wednesdays closing after nav
ing an early advance of 2 points.
French and Belgian descriptions were
higher. but some of the South Amerl-
cans we're lower. An issue OF S35, ,00O. .Ooo
Peruvian IS is expected next week. rms
is a portion of the national loan, OF
which $5O.O00, 900 was sold last year.
Again today there were NUMBER OF
stock issues. but the outstanding oHer-
ing was that of the Cities Service 20.
per cent debentures. which were well
received. with emphasis placed by SELL
ing organizations on the attractiveness
of the stock feature.

INCREASE IN SWINE
INDUSTRY IS SEEN
Benefits to Farmers Pre-
dicted on Basis of
Present Conditions.
BY J. c. ROYLE.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, October 13.-When the
packing companies close their fiscal
year two weeks from today. there is
no doubt they will show profits 10 to 25
per cent higher than in the 1927 fiscal
period Figures already compiled as
sure this result.
The cattle and hog raisers will show
profits almost equally encouraging in
most cases. The fact that the outlook
for the swine industry of the country
is favorable is about the best news the
farmers of the Nation could have. For
it is through hogs that the farmer gets
the fullest value from his corn crop.
the most important crop grown In tne
United States from money Value
viewpoint. Corn is wealth, and IL Is
now certain that the farmers VIII nave
a lot of it this year.
In recent months hog prices showed
a falling off, but this was Development
to be looked for at that time. The De-
partment of Agriculture estimates that
the Spring pig crop this year was Z per
cent smaller than the previous year.
This means the supply of animals avail
able for market next Spring Will De
smaller than in the previous season.
There is every reason to believe. on
the other hand. that both domestic
and foreign demand for pork and pork
products will show an increase. Euro
pean consumers are more prosperous
and more American food products are
going into consumption. Storage
stocks of pork and pork products nave
been sharply reduced. There still
exists a slight oversupply of lard. but
it's position is rapidly strengthening.
Stocks in general are about normal.
This. coupled with the fact that mar
ketings seem likely to be ample without
being excessive. provides condition
favorable to stability for the industry
and profits for the farmer.
The corn crop is large, but the rela-
tionship of corn prices to pork prices
is favorable to the farmer. Moreover
there was some scarcity of corn in
certain sections earlier in the year and
some of the Spring pig crop is being
finished" on new corn. The favor
able feed and price situation undoubted-
ly will stimulate breeding operations.
but the supply of animals so augment
ed will not be ready for market after the
middle of 1929
The Fall pig crop is variously esti-
mated, but probably is 5 per cent under
that of year ago.
The packers have strengthened their
financial position materially. This wss
possible because they were able to mar
ket no small part of their heavy stocks
of pork products at time when prices
were almost at the peak of the year.

NEW YORK, October 18-The cot
ton market opened today steady at an
advance of / point on July, but gen.
orally to points lower under South
ern selling and realizing by recent
buyers. The latter was probably pro-
noted by the failure of early weather
map to show frost in the South and
rather easier late cables from Liver
pool. Offerings were readily absorbed
by a continuation or broa adening of the
recent buying movement, however, and
after easing off to 1914 at the start

of the first half hour or Z points net
higher and points above the best
price of yesterday. While the weather
Lap showed no frost in the Southwest
temperatures we're lower and there was
a private report of frost at one point
in Oklahoma. Late cables reported
trade calling with London and conti-
mental buying in the Liverpool market
but prices there reacted several points

CHICAGO EXCHANGE
IN SECURITIES FIELD

BY the Associated Press
CHICAGO, October 18.-After deal
ing in grain and produce since its
inception in the early days of Chicago
the Board of Trade has signalized its
entry into the field of securities trading
by appropriating 100000 to prepare for
the opening of its own stock exchange
The development of stock trading on
the Board of Trade was believed to
have been influenced partly, at least,
by the decline of grain speculation in
recent years and the immense public
participation in the securities markets.

ACTION is EXPLAINED

Washington, April 10.-It was said
today at the Department of Com
merce: that a small census bureau di-
visional organization made up of
negroes had been broken up in the
Census Bureau because racial segre-
cation was forbidden.
A department statement said:
"In the course of its regular duties,
the Bureau of the Census developed
a Division of Statistics, dealing ex-
clusively with matters relating to the
colored population. The whole di-
vision was small enough to be housed
in single room, and as an admins
trative measure its staff was tenn
porarily composed entirely from the
colored employees of the bureau.
con the return of the Director from
Europe recently it was held that the
circumstances Of such ,iv::sional
organization would amour to racial
segregation, which is forbidden under
the policy of the depar 1t. The
members of the staff which had been
assembled for the experime were at
once redistributed throu the or
ganization."
