any supplies coming later, it is stated,
will have to come by express, making
the prices several cents pound higher.

Slight changes in prices were report

WHEAT IS HIGHER
in EARLY TRADING
Freezing Weather Results in Up
turn-Crop Damage Is
Feared.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, March Higher prices
for wheat resulted early today from
freezing weather throughout Winter
wheat territory, contrasting suddenly
with abnormal warmth and causing
fears of crop damage. General buying
of wheat future deliveries took place,
with connections in Europe. Opening
n to "a higher, wheat afterward con-
tinued to show strength. Corn, oats
and provisions also were flrmer, with
corn starting unchanged to u up, and
subsequently scoring advances all
around
Besides apprehension due to quick
drop of nearly degrees in temperature
in various domestic Winter wheat sec
tons, wheat traders found reasons for
crop anxiety today owing to complaints
of high winds in many States, 70-mile
gales being reported as prevailing for
hours. Dispatches, too, from Liverpool
gave incentive to buyers, light deliveries
of wheat there being reported and offer
ings smaller than has been the case of
late. Notice also was taken Of announce
ment that since August world ship
ments of wheat have been absorbed ag-
gregating more than $4,000 900 BUSH
els, compared with 474,000,o00 bushels
the corresponding time year ago.
Much interest was shown today re-
garding returns to an inquiry sent to
TOO correspondents in Ohio, Michigan,
Indiana and Illinois relative to Winter
wheat. The replies indicated the acre
age being sown in the four States was
but II per cent of normal. the reduce

dition of the crop prior to last nights
freeze, however, was reported good, and
, with normal weather until harvest was
said to indicate 1929 yield of 100,-
O00 900 bushels, against 100000 last
year.

COTTON CARRYOvER
TO AFFECT MARKET
Sharp Movements in Price Are
Expected With New
Crop Offering.
special Dispatch to The Star.

NEW YORK, March How much
cotton will be carried over when the
first of the new crop becomes available
for spinners is a question which today
is agitating the cotton market and Is
having bearing on securities In other
speculative lines.
Spectators are tur~ing toward COM
mitments in the raw staple as promising
sharp movements one way or the other
shortly.
Consumption for the last two months
has been higher than for any January
and February since the Winter period
The 1928 crop yielded 14,173,000 bales
Carryover at the beginning of the 1928
crop year was approximately 100000
bales This made available about 49,
$4,000 bales
Consumption for the 1929 crop year
ending in July is, of course, not abso-
lutely determined. but expert statisti-
clans place consumption at over 49,
100000 bales. Some anticipate a 49,
100000 consumption. This would leave
carryover of around 100000 bales
or little more: compared with 5000. O0C
In 1927 and 100000 in 1926. Indeed
such carryover would scarcely be re-
garded as giving protection to con-
sumers. Many experts consider a S.
000,000-bale carryover essential to nor
NAL conditions.
Moreover, the outlook for the next
crop at the moment is none too bright
1t is still far too early to determine
either acreage or yield, but weather
conditions in many of the cotton States
have been unpropitious for early work
IN the fields. The fertilizer industry re-
ports that the amount of soil food used
on the cotton fields of the South shows
falling off from last year. There is
always the boil weevil to account for
some losses.
AS to manufacturers takings, the rate
of activity is upward. One of the largest
mill agents has just withdrawn some Of
its lines as oversold to allow the mill:
to catch up with orders. The Cotton
Textile Institute has done much to pop.
ulariZe cotton fabrics for dress good:
and to find new ways of using fabrics.
The electrical trades are taking mil
lions of yards of cotton fabric for wire
protection and insulation. The auto
mobile makers are absorbing a huge
quantity and replacement of jute bag!
by cotton containers will extend con.
sumption. All these facts will have
some effect, direct or indirect. on the
securities of textile manufacturers
chemical companies, tire makers, auto.
mobile manufacturers. electrical equip
ment corporations and score of Other

U. S. EXPORTS GAIN
SHOWN IN SURVEY
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Distribution of exports from the
United States made during the second
quarter of 1928. as fixed by the Com
merce Department, put New York and
Texas far ahead of other States of the
union IN value of co.Smodities shipped
abroad.
For the three months period ending
June 30, 1923, New York was credited
with furnishing goods to export with
value of $214,S18,670. while the figure
for Texas was $139, 476,9 02. The third
State, Michigan, was credited with
$92 ,991 ,586 in exports for the quarter.
Director Klein of the Bureau of
Foreign and Domestic Commerce ex-
planned in issuing the figures that the
statistics as to origin among States of
export goods are based on bills of
lading. and in consequence are not en-
tirely reliable, since the export of goods
produced in one State frequently is
made from another State.
California was placed fourth. with
exports for the quarter of $76,167 ,055.
Other leading States were: Pennsyl-
vania, $69895, 100; Louisiana. S58.165,-
087; New Jersey, $55,242,6 33; Ohio,
S5O,381 ,465; Illinois, $4e,963, 586, and
Wisconsin, $33,795,756.
one OF Cne more remarkable export
increases was credited to Alaska. for
exports from that territory in the sec
ond quarter of 1928 amounted to $780,
1868, a total not large in itself but
almost five times greater than its ex-
ports of $76,593 for the same period in
1927.
The total exports of merchandise
from the United States during April,
May and June of 1928 were valued at
81 las, GAO, 627, an increase of s14,137.-
408 over the export figures for the
same months in 1927.

BY KENNETH S. VAN sTRUM.

NEW YORK, March Figures of
recent weeks indicate that the oil in
dustry is controlling production some
what more effectively. The rapid in
crease in production during the closing
weeks of 1928 and the early part of this
year, which resulted in the January
price cuts has been brought to a tenn
porary halt at least But production is
still on too high a level to eradicate
entirely the threat of tremendous over
production in 1929.
A broad rise in most oil securities is
not expected until the production situ-
alton Is further improved. A relatively
small over or under production of oil
brings about prosperity or depression
for the industry, because demand Is
fairly inflexible. It has been stated that
a per cent change in production will
often cause pricea to change as much
as so per cent. Attention is being paid
particularly to the Oklahoma, Texas
and California fields, which produce
about three -fourtl& of the country's oil,
for first signs of turn for the better
With over 100000 producing oil wells
in the country. many of them owned by
small producers, who frequently cannot
understand the desirability of conserva-
ton. one wonders what the situation
would have been today If the original
Standard Oil Co had been allowed to
continue the domination of the oil in
dustry, which it enjoyed until it's dis
solution under the Sherman act in 1911.
For today, instead of one predominant
force, there are many large units strug-
Cling for business. The disintegrated
sections of the Standard Oil Co. are
even beginning to encroach upon each
others territories.

Standard Oil Co. of New Jersey is
by far the largest American oil COM
pany and one of the two largest in
the world. Its activities cover every

including the making of gasolene
pumps Its producing activities cover
the globe, extending into Mexico, South
America, Europe and Dutch East In

BIG INCREASE SHOWN
IN AIRCRAFT OUTPUT
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK. March Aircraft
year book figures released today by
the Aeronautical Chamber of Com
merce of America show an increase Of
140 per cent in commercial aircraft pro-
duction in 1923.
Approximately 5000 planes and $500
aircraft motors were built in the United
States last year with a valuation Of
more than $75,000,0OO.
In the commercial field biplanes out
numbered monoplanes two to one, but
the valuation of the monoplanes was
greater This is explained by the in
creasing use of biplanes for small open
cockpit ships and of monoplanes for
larger cabin jobs.
The figures place Wichita, Kans.. in
the lead for production with 927 planes
built during the year. New York is
second with 857 planes. but the value
of the New York ships was more than
twice that of the Wichita output, there
being many more large planes.
In the number of planes built Ohio
was the third State with 816. Missouri
fourth with 1856. Colorado fifth with
341, Illinois sixth with 248. Michigan
seventh with 131 and California eighth
with 40.

conditions throughout the industry are

conditions throughout the industry are
particularly trying.
Continued overproduction and the
possibility that crude oil and gasoline
prices will soon be lowered If drastic
measures against overproduction are not
taken make the immediate outlook
rather discouraging. In recent issue
of the Lamp, the publication Of Stand
ard Oil of New Jersey, it is suggested
that unless production is cut immedi-
ately the industry will face the same
chaotic situation which existed in 1927
Rather than to try to anticipate when
these changes will take effect many be-
lieve oil securities should be allowed to
drift until the period of uncertainty is
over.
