GRAIN MARKET.

CHICAGO, October 10 [R.-Notwith-
standing initial upturns In wheat prices
today, wheat soon declined, largely as
a result of sympathy with corn market
weakness. Depression OF corn values
was ascribed to the fact that the Gov
eminent crop report indicated decided
increase Of yield compared with what
was expected o month ago.
Starting unchanged TO u higher,
wheat afterward went well below yes
terday's finish. Corn opened q to 1sa
/ of and subsequently showed an adj
ditional drop. Oats were easy. Pro-
visions also slanted downward.
Further adverse wheat crop reports
from Argentina today included men,
ton of frosts in Santa Fe and Cordoba
Provinces, where the outlook already
was poor as result of drought. There
were also estimates that the Argentine
exportable surplus of wheat from this
years crop would be 10000, 900 bushels
less than already has been exported to
date from last years production. Some
showers were noted today in parts of
Argentina.
Corn traders today practically ignored
all aspects Of the Government crop re-
port except the forecast of 72,00O ,OO0-
bushel increase Of production. Compared
with last months oficial figures. the
increase was materially In excess Of
private estimates issued In October.
Rainy weather over the corn belt today
failed to act as much Of an offset to
the Government crop report.

new CROP SUGARS
READY FOR MARKET
BY J. c. ROYLE.

Special Dispatch to the Star
NEW YORK. October 10.-The Gu
ban centrals and the beet sugar fac
tories are preparing their equipment
for the production Of the major portion
of the sugar supply of the United States
for the coming year Within a brief
time, the knives will be slicing through
the Cuban cane and the mills will be
grinding. In November the sugar beets
will be going through the factory knives.
There seems little doubt that the sugar
supply will be heavy. N.
There Is no government restriction
on the size of the Cuban crop this
year. The weather in the island so far
probable that crop OF between $500 900
and 100000 tons could be produced
there.
Stocks of sugar on hand from var
ious sources now are approximately IS
per cent larger in the United States
and Cuba than at this time last year.
The beet sugar yield of this country
seems likely to be heavy. The louisiana
cane crop sugars are now coming on
the market and the crop shows an
estimated gain Of 1851 tons to q total
Oh Z1l ,OUU UOLS. lie harvesting Vi Tile
European beet sugar crop has just start
ed and sugar from this source Is now
coming on world markets.
The European yield is large. If acre
age reports are to be taken as a basis
Of measurement. The Japanese, Argen-
tine, Australian and Natal crops show
a slight gain over 1928, according to
latest estimates, with a total Qnclud-
ing the American beet CROP of 5,o71.-
900 tons. These factors would tend to
indicate heavy supply all over the
world, with consequent low prices for
raws. There are, however. certain fac
tors which may serve to cut down
stocks and supplies and have a
influence on prices.
The first of these is the remarkable
advance in consumption. Consumption
has unquestionably been strengthened
by the low prices which have prevailed.
Americans bought and used 3,009,377
tons in the first six months OF this
year. 1t is more than probable that
this rate, which was gain OF 1885
per cent compared with the correspond
ing period of 1928, will be still further
increased in the last half Of 1929. The
amount of sugar used in soft drinks
and confectionery is always heavier
from June on. The fruit crop Is har-
vested in greatest volume in Midsum-
mer and canning operations are at
their peak at that time. The Christ
mas holidays always give candy de-
mand push upward

FOREIGN LOANS LOSE
FAVOR IN AMERICA
High Money Rates Preventing In
vestment in Dollar Bond
Issues.
Special Dispatch to The star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, October 10.-A few
days ago loan made in 1927 by one
of the italian cities with an American
banking group matured. It was neces-
sary to extend 1t and to take it up with
the bankers who originally put it
through. They asked q rate Of 9k per
cent for renewal. To this the munici-
pal authorities Of the Italian city de-
INJURED and subsequently made loan
with one Of their own banks at ia
per cent
This emphasizes the degree to which
high money rates in this country have
curtailed foreign financing and also the
extent to which foreigners are refund
ing in their own currencies maturing
dollar issues. This has been done on
quite large scale this year by Scandi-
navian borrowers as well as by the
Dutch. Even German municipalities
have found it more economical to take
out short term loans with their own
bankers at relatively high rates, but on
DC .ter terms than they could sell long
market.
The latest figures of foreign govern
ment and municipal financing in the
United States illustrates what has been
taking place on the other side in the
way OF arranging for necessary finan-
eng IN comparison with what occurred
here up to the middle Of 1928 in secur-
ing required capital from American in
vestors
In the first eight months of this
year the total amount OF foreign gov
eminent bonds issued In the United
tates was under $60,000000. This COM
pares with approximately S543, 600, 900
IN the same period Of 1928 and $5l7,-
000. 900 in the first eight months of
1927. Foreign financing this year has
peen less than per cent of all bond or
note Offering that have come into the
American market, whereas In the same
months OF 1928, 1t was over IS per cent
and nearly the equivalent Of financing
by the public utilities.
Not only In loans to foreign govern
ments and municipalities has there
Deen contraction, but In those to for
elgn corporations. For the eight months
the latter were $500, 900 900, compared
with $3.50 100000 in the same period of
1928.
No change In this situation is looked
for until two radical departures from
present conditions take place. The first
is an improvement in the American
money market, and the second a de-
cided rally in prices Of all foreign dol
lar bonds.
So long as individuals and corpora
lions can obtain from 8 to 10 per cent
in the safest form Of investment that
they could make-namely, collateral
loans-they will not be greatly inter-
ested in second or third rate foreign
bonds which yield from 8 to 8 per cent.
And until the great mass of foreign
issues placed here between the early
part of 1927 and the middle Of 1928
shows some rallying power, instead of
steady depreciation from week to
week, they will not offer much attrac-
ton to the type of individual or insti-
tutional buyer Of bonds who wants a
good yield but at the same time fair
guarantee that his capital investment
is moderately secure.

FORT WORTH, October 10.--Cattle
feeding will be more general in Texas
this year than last. Oil Is selling gen.
orally for e45 per ton In car lots.
However. Winter grass is strong and
plentiful and will be SUFFICIENT to sus-
tain many herds without feeding. The
additional feeding is attributable to the
increase in the number of herds that
are being finished for market.
