In the Stock Market
In Thomson & McKinnonl

NEW YORK, Oct. 11-Earlier in
the week one of our foremost bank
erS expressed the view that brokers'
loans fluctuations were being exag-
gerated in their Importance. The
same sentiment was voiced at the
bankers convention recently, where
1t was also suggested that loans
made for speculative purposes be
segregated from those based upon
issues in the f1lotation of new bonds
and stocks. AS we analyze the latest
report, there seems to be much merit
in this latter contention. Although
liquidation during the past week
was nullif1ed to some degree by later
price advances, it still is quite evil
dent that much Of what has been
accomplished in the stock market
has been offset by new issues, and
the reduction, though disappoint-
ing in volume, probably will be &C.
cepted as step in the right direc-
ton. With time money back TO
about the 8 per cent level, and sterl-
ing again at par. there is some dis
cuSsion of reduction in the local
rediscount rate, as we'll as some talk
of the possibility of a reduction i'll
the English rate. 1t is the general
impression that the next favorable
development in the steel industry
will be the re-entry of automobile
manufacturers in the steel market
preparatory to stepping up produc-
ton of new models to be brought
ont around the first of the year
Taken as a whole, the situation
appears to be gradually clarifying,
but not to such an extent that
caution and conservation can be
diSregarded.

"It is high time the organized

resumed leadership of the in
dustrials, assisted by General Elec-
trio, John Manville and Radio Cor
poration. Standard of New Jersey
headed the oil group, Union Pacific

tiles, and American Telephone the

Trading was relatively active, the
tape running twenty minutes be-
hind Sales in the first half hour
amounted to 645,a0O shares, against
52g, 400 shares in the same period
yesterday.
Buying enthusiasm was helped by
the decrease of $91, 100000 in bro
kerage loans. Money continued easy,
call loans dropping to per cent
after renewing at s per cent. The
weekly reserve statement also was
favorable, showing sharp increase
in the reserve ratio. Time money
eased 4 Of / per cent.
These factors combined with
further optimistic business reports
were sufficient for a time to offset
the advices to sell sent out by many
houses overnight on the theory the
markets technical position had been
impaired by recent heavy short COW
ering.
United States Steel met profit
taking at the outset which sent it
down fractionally from the previous
close. Later it rallied to around 233.
Bethlehem Steel and Republic also
were in demand.
General Electric spuhted more

nearly four points early, but rallied.
New York Central recovered an
early decline of point and moved
higher. Other rails were firm, Lack
awanna developing good demand,
Baltimore 81 Ohio, however, was
depressed more than a point.
In the oil group Standard of New

Two Per Cent Gain During
September Noted by

WASHINGTON, Oct. 1o.-Crop
prospects improved about 2 per cent
during September owing to favor
able weather and present indica-
tons show higher yield of corn.
spring wheat, oats, barley, and other
principal crops in comparison with
the outlook last month, the agri-
culture department announced late
Wednesday.
Most of the central states had
good weather for maturing the corn
crop and late reports were said. to
show various grain crops threshing
out about expectations, the depart
ment said. The summer draught.
which affected a wide strip from
Michigan west and from New Eng
land to the Rio Grande, appears to
have resulted in relatively low yields
in many states, and when all crops
are combined the outlook is that
yields per acre will average IA per
cent below yields last year or Al
below yields during the previous ten
years.
A total wheat production OF 7e1,-
$4,000 bushels was forecast. Con-
dition of the crop was reported as
a75 per cent of normal with an
indicated yield of IL bushels per
acre. In 1928, the total, wheat crop
was 902,000000 bushels.
Production of durum wheat was
estimated at 51,678,0OO bushels, with
a condition Of 92.6 per cent, and a
yield of 96 bushels per acre. Other
spring wheat production was FORE
cast at 7l,857,000 bushels, based on
condition of 1877 per cent of
normal and a yield of Ill bushels
per acre.
Production Of all spring wheat was
Estimated at 223 $500 bushels.
An oats harvest of 1,226,573
bushels was predicted on the basis
Of a condition of 86.2 per cent OF
normal yield per acre was estimated
at 30.5 bushels.
