CORN PRICES REACH
new SEASON LEVEL
scanty Shipments Reported in
Western Markets-Wheat
Starts Higher.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, October SIN brisk
trading, corn ran up today to above
season high-price records established
hardly "a hours before.
Arrivals of corn in Western markets
were reported scant, with demand I'M
usually urgent. Opening at 14a1 Is
cents advance, corn later showed ma
terial further gains. Wheat started
1ha7s cent higher, but subsequently re-
acted. Oats were firm. Provisions also
had an upward trend.
With various important market CEN
tiers in the West reporting inability to
find any old corn in their territory,
and with old corn being shipped back
West from here, sellers of corn future
deliveries found themselves at decld-
ed disadvantage much of the time to-
day. In this connection, 1t was pointed
out as significant that feeders were
taking new corn at prices much above
terminal market bids.
Wheat gave evidence OF sympathy
with corn market strength today, but
failed to hold gains well in the face
of rain reports from India, where pre-
viously drought has been so severe
that wells and rivers throughout a
large part of the country were dry
ing up. On the other hand Canadian
! advices today told of frost damage be-
coming more apparent as later t1elds
are threshed, damage to quality and
also to yields being greater than was
| looked for.

NEW YORK, october 5-Another
forward movement in the industrial con-
vertible bond group and sharp re-
covery in Seaboard Air Line issues were
the two features of todays market

The rise in Seaboard Air Line junior

companied by more than usual activity.
The adjustments. which sold at new

The Consolidation IS rose 2I2 points
and were points higher than a week
ago The largest advance was in the
Al-Florida IS, with the series B bonds
up points and the series A over 2

Back in his home town and near

Is busily engaged In completely for

victory over the worlds best for the
last two or three years.
There is nothing IN the appear.

He is taking q six-woeks' vaca.

Jack Ryder, to acclimate himself
and renew training for tho games.
Some days ago Hahn returned
here from his last indo0- race in
Chicago. For about six weeks he
will work on his farms, take life
easy in pastoral scenes and strive
to forget track altogether.
