Grain Market
Rv the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, November Except rye,
all grains tended downward early today.
Rye scored a quick advance of 1 cent.
Bears laid stress on Liverpool reports
of heavy sales of Australian wheat to
Europe and on prospects OF drought
relief in United States Winter wheat
territory in the Southwest. Rye strength
was ascribed to possibilities that the
market would catch fire in case OF sud-
den large export purchases.
Opening %-2 cents lower, wheat
afterward rallied somewhat. Corn
started 4 -11s off and subsequently held
near the initial limits.
At first sellers Of wheat far outnum-
bered buyers, but a resumption OF ag-
gressive purchasing was witnessed on
declines to below 10 cents for May
delivery. Much of the wheat selling
wA of a prof1t-taking character, and
was based on opinions OF trade experts
that material price reactions were ike
" in view of big recent advances.
rallying influence, however, was WORD
of frost in Argentina threatening 10
impair wheat yields, owing to the TACT
that over large areas the Argentine
crop was now coming into bloom ana
was especially susceptible to frost IN
jury.
The amount of wheat on ocean pas
sage was announced to have decreasesS
more than 100000 bushels the last
week, Notwithstanding that world ship
ments had increased about 3,500,0OO
bushels. This was taken to indicate
heavily augmented consumer demand
overseas. Significance was also at
tached to reports that the highest pre-
miumS yet this season were being paid
for domestic wheat available to export
at the Gulf of Mexico. Corn and oats
swayed with wheat
Provisions developed firmness, helped
by rallies in grains,

STREET CAR INTERESTS
IN RESEARCH CAMPAIGN

BY the Associated Press.
Research has an important place in
the work Of American trade associa-
tions. Some of it is technical and some
is market research.
Faced with increasing motor bus COM
petition, the street railways making up
the American Electric Railway Associa-
ton announce that exhaustive tests will
be made of the operation of different
types of trolley cars. A number of cars
OF the most modern type will be tried
out in Brooklyn, and the outstanding
advantages of each will be noted with
the object of developing improvements
and conveniences, such as better riding
qualities. Manufacturers of street cars
will cooperate in this effort to improve
the competitive position of the street
car industry.
The Silk Association of America has
under way the most comprehensive pro-
gram of research ever undertaken by
the industry. The purpose is to obtain
all facts relative to equipment, pro-
ductive capacity and markets, so as to
put the industry on better footing.
AS a result of a recent survey the
National Knitted Outerwear Association
finds that much machinery now used
In the industry is obsolete. points out
that rapid style changes make necessary
the procurement of newer and more
up-to-date equipment.

WHOLESALE PRICES
ARE CLOVER ABROAD
Suspension OF Gold Standard
by Britain Did Not Up
set Markets.

Great Britain going off the gold
standard. with the consequent influ-
ences on price levels, did not appreci-
ably affect the September average OF
the indices of wholesale commodity
prices, according to E. Huntley Ono
hundro of the Commerce Departments
division of statistical research.
The indices of the wholesale prices
in Is of Is foreign countries were lower
in September than in August, as was
the index of wholesale prices in the
United States, Omohundro said.
Japan Leads in Decline.
He said the sharpest drop in prices
occurred in Japan. averaging per cent.
Wholesale prices fell about 3 per cent
in France. Belgium and the Neither
lands. and price declines of from 2.5
to nearly per cent occurred in Czecho-
slovakia, Poland and Finland from Au-
gust to September, 1881. OF the re-
manning countries in which wholesale
prices were lower in September, 1881,
than in the preceding month, prices
were from l to 2 per cent lower in Can
ada. Germany, Sweden ard British
India, and less than l per cent lower
in the United Kingdom, Italy, Latvia
and China. No change in prices oc-
CURED in Denmark and Peru from
August to September. and prices rose
3 per cent in Chile during that period
Declines in prices occurred in 26 of
the AZ groups of foods in Is foreign
countries, ID groups advanced, and 2
groups remained unchanged from Au-
gust to September, 1881. OF those
showing declines, 20 groups dropped 2
per cent or more.
Prices of animal products in Canada
and Poland, of vegetable products in
France and Sweden. of cereals and tea
in British India, and of all foods in the
Netherlands. dropped from to 5 per
cent. Decreases exceeding 5 per cent
from August to September, 1881, oc-
CURED in prices Of vegetables in Czecho-
slovakia animal products in Latvia,
agricultural products (mostly foods in
Finland, and cereals and vegetables in
Japan.
Among the advances, prices Of vege-
table foods in Denmark, and animal
foods in Czechoslovakia rose 2.5 per
cent and 30 per cent, respectively. The
greatest advances in prices of foods
from August to September. 1881, oc-
Cured in cereals in Chile, ST per cent,
and in meats and fish in Japan, 8 per
cent
Prices of industrial raw materials and
manufactured goods in most instances
were lower in September, 1881, than in
the preceding month. OF 104 groups of
commodities other than foods, 81 groups
declined in price, II advanced and IS
remained unchanged. In nearly one
half of the So groups of declines the
fall in price was less than per cent.
but in Is groups the drop in prices
ranged from to per cent.
The sharpest decline in prices, rang

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, November 9.-The
robust rally with which the stock
market closed last week influenced
sentiment in Wall Street. but not suffi-
GENTLY to quiet the doubts which a
majority of the active traders harbor
with regard to the future. To say that
a third of them are friendly toward
stocks is to put it strongly. Probably
the percentage of conStructionists is
much lower than that.
1t is safe to say, however. that
Skepticism varies inversely with the
number of years of activity the in
dividual trader has seen. 1t may or may
not be significant that those who feel
most friendly toward the market are
those of the longest experience. those
who have seen more than one depres-
sion and have witnessed the hesitating
and discouraging way in which recovery
begins. But let us take the doubters'
side first.
Obstacles Cited.
There are three obstacles in the path
of revival which the DIRECTORS visualize
First there is the credit situation, par
ticularly in Europe. If there is a plan
tn meet the difficulties with which the
PREPARATIONS and international debt
problems are surrounded, it has not
been presented in any manner reaS-
surfing to this faction. Secondly, they
emphasize the railway crisis, if anything
so long drawn out can properly be called
a crisis. Granted that the railway
executives and the heads of the brother
hoods come to an agreement, the
process of putting that agreement into
effect is, they argue, sure to be a tedious
affair. UP to very recently they have
been processing encouragement over
the action of the bond market, but that
outlook has been improved by the pro-
nounced recovery in fixed interest
bearing securities during the last few
days.

SACRIFICE OF FOREIGN BONDS
is DECLARED NOT WARRANTED

sizing the falling price level
Whereas" the report said, "the ef-
1ectS OF trade depression inevitably take
time to be cured, the remedial meas
ures already applied in countries in de-
fault should have tendency to over
come these effects much more rapidly
than would otherwise be the case.
The development of world trade of
itself necessitates the maintenance of
international credit upon all countries
engaged in international trade, and for
this reason alons reputation Of ex-
ternal obligations is not to be thought
OF by an exporting country.
"The inevitable hysteria which has
been evidenced in the foreign bond
market as result of the lowering of
the credit OF certain foreign countries
has brought about an extraordinary
lowering of foreign dollar bond prices.
THE general public has failed to
realize that the quoted prices of the
securities of many foreign countries do
not today represent actual values.
Rather they represent the absence Of
any real market demand.
when prices fall at the rate they
have in certain foreign securities in re-
cent months, the public, which is the
normal purchaser, does not buy"

Banking Situation.
The banking situation is daily becom-
ing stronger, owing to the revival of
confidence, which has caused a per-
ceptible contraction in the Withdrawals
of cash from those institutions. This
change in sentiment has stopped neces-
sitous selling of securities by the banks.
In many instances national banks are
now appearing in the market for bonds,
which contrasts sharply with the urgent
selling by banking institutions early
last month.
Announcement that the National
Credit Corporation is ready to receive
applications for loans should also have
a most favorable influence on sentiment
and result in fewer bank closings.
The plight of the railroads continues
to be source of anxiety and is acting
as a restraint on speculation, but hope
is running high that the iepresenta-
tives Of the employees of the common
carriers will make overtures for a down.
ward revision of wages in a spirit Of
helpfulnesS to the general recovery in
economic conditions.
Announcement Of favorable news in
connection with the transportation
companies would undoubtedly have a
beneficial influence on the stock market.

STOCK MARKET FACING TEST
AFTER RECENT RAPID ADVANCE
If Averages Push Through Former High
Levels the Recovery in Prices
May Go Much Higher.

This leaves the commodity situation
as the only possible offsetting influence
and even here there are those who
assert that the recovery in wheat. in
silver and in other material markets
has had no better foundation than that
of speculative manipulation. 1t is fair
to say that only a few of them put II
as strong as that, but there are many
who declare that commodity price i'm
provement has outrun any real better
ment in supply and demand.
There is some logic in all these argu-
ments, but there is also something left
out. The point overlooked is that
practically everything adverse in bust
ness, in finance and in the commodity
field was discounted and overdiscounted
long before there was any improvement
in either stocks or commodities and
that, even after all the recovery that
has taken place, prices are still alb
normally low and discount great deal
that is unfavorable, actual or potential
Test Due This Week.
Moreover, much of the discourage
ment and distress in the commodity
markets and in trade is the effect and
not the cause of the collapse in
securities and the lamentable absence
of banking leadership. Markets and
business have been caught in a vicious
circle from which there was no escape
unless and until there was a turn in
one or the other, no matter how it was
brought about.
The test will come this week in the
market itself. If the averages are able
to push through, their old highs on
the rally from J the early october
margin, to the accompaniment of in
creased trading activity, the percentage
of optimists will be reversed from that
given at the beginning of this dispatch.
The party in the minority now express
great confidence that they will be in the
majority, and that in the not distant
future.

GENERAL RAILWAY WAGE
FARLEY MAY BE HELD
BY the Associated Press.


NEW YORK, November e-Renro-
sentatives of the principal transporta-
ton systems Of the United States who
will attend meeting of the RAILWAY
EXECUTIVES Association in New York
next Friday, are expected in wal
Street to consider proposal of rail-
way labor leaders for a general confer
ence on wages and working conditions
II the rail officials view the labor
proposal favorably. 1t is considered
probable that national COMMITTEES will
be appointed to confer with union
heads. Some of the executives have
approved the idea of a joint conference
at which all the railroads and their
employees would be represented.
Railway ofncialS, who for some time
have been advocating voluntary wage
reduction by the unions, attach consid-
cradle significance to the fact that the
proposal for general discussion of the
situation came from the workers them
selves.
