TRADE IN SHANGHAI
SLIGHTLY BETTER
Business Conditions Improve
as Fighting Subsidies, Says
Consular Report.

The Commerce Department today was
informing American exporters to the
Far East that business conditions at
Shanghai had improved somewhat with
the subsistence of the fighting between
the Japanese and Chinese troops.
The Chinese Chamber of Commerce,
according to cabled report from
.Julean Arnold, commercial attache at
this port. had prevailed upon the ma
ioritv of the Chinese shops to reopen.
Arnold reported the native banks are
IN A stronger position owing to an in
crease in deposits during the last four
weeks. However, they were not inclined
to reopen and there is still difficulty in
cashing bank orders, he reported. Until
these institutions reopen the warehouse
restrictions on exports will remain en-
forced.
While the fighting has inflicted mil
lions of dollars property damages,
Arnold pointed out that there has been
a steady flow of money from abroad
since the invasion
shanghai invisible resources" Arnold
reported, have been Considerably in
creased by the expenditures of foreign
governments in connection with the mill
tarv and naval forces here, as well as
by larger remittances from Chinese ra-
siding overseas and now sending money
home for patriotic purposes. The items
have served to stimulate and strengthen
silver exchange.
The commercial attache advised the
department that the national govern
ment of China, in accordance with pre-
viOusly announced intentions, had is
sued a mandate refunding domestic
loans so as to reduce the interest on
some of them.

Grain Market
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, March 3.-Fresh upturns
in grain values early today accompanied
higher quotations on securities at New
York and on wheat at Liverpool Intro
duction of Senate bill at Washington
to tmpound Farm Board wheat at less
than 81 cents for No. 2 hard was also
construed as bullish.
Opening at shade to 15-ss higher
Chicago wheat futures afterWard held
near the initial limit. Corn started I'M
changed to Il up and later kept firm.
Washington proposals to prohibit the
sale Of Farm Board wheat at lower
than 81 cents for No. hard grades
were interpreted by influential traders
as showing trend in Congress to fix a
practical minimum price of stabiliza-
ton holdings which have been hang
ing over the market. Indications of n
new cold wave developing in the
Canadian Northwest and Of colder
weather in domestic Winter wheat ter
ritor1es were an additional incentive to
buyers. Notice was also taken of ad-
vices that In Genital and Southwestern
Saskatchewan, where drought has been
long continued, depleted soil moisture
has not been replenished
A fair amount of overnight export
business in North American wheat was
announced. Famine reports were re-
ceived from Russian districts east of
Volga River. Corn and oats averaged
higher with wheat
Provisions were easy despite upturns
in hog values.

UTILITIES RECOVER
IN CURB TRADING
Market Becomes Quiet After
Absorbing Sharp Profit
Taking.
BY JOHN A. CRoNE.


Special Dispatch TO The star.
NEW YORK, March 3.-Following
strong and active opening Of the Curb
Exchange today, stocks receded and
quoted, but the impressive manner in
which profit-taking was absorbed dur
ing this change Of trend discouraged
short selling,
Public utilities, with the exception of
the utilities power and light group,
recovered from their relapse Of the pre-
cedtng session. The smaller offerings
Of Middle West utilities from Chicago
and the diminished supply Of Associ-
ated Gas g. Electric issues from New
England encouraged holders Of power
and light shares. Electric Bond a.
Share and Cities Service were firm
around midday.
"A reduction OF retail prices on an
t.lre cite and on cigarettes had no mar
ket effect on the stocks of companies
involved. Bids for zinc shares, how
ever, were reduced as that metal drop
ped to record low price Of 234 cents
Although brokerage houses asserted no
more distress offerings Of copper were
available below six cents a pound. this
view was not held by the metal trade
Copper stocks reflected the attitude Of
trade quarters.
Al IIdC-
ton here resulted from the stocks
flrmness in London, based on buying
from Brussels. London cables telling of
the reception accorded the new Ford
models there explained the opening
rise in Ford Motor Ltd Expanding
industrial operations in England have
benefited General Electric Ltd, which
opened at a new high price today.
Motor accessory and chemical shares
crowded the tape during the first half
hour. Parker Rustproof ran up 2lla
points. Driver-Harris was up almost a
point. Pittsburgh Plate Glass bettered
Sherwin Williams was in demand. Dow
Chemical opened up points and Amer
lean Cyanamid B braced.
Shortly thereafter A. o. Smith en-
joyed squirt Of more than points.
This company makes steel automobile
frames as well as pipe products. Singer
Manufacturing jumped points.
Around midday motor shares for a
time monopolized the tape. Ford Motor
of France and Ford Motor, Ltd, hard
ened and Ford Motor Of Canada B
gained a point. Later the A shares Of
the Canadian company also attained a
new peak price.

INCREASE IN AUTO
PRODUCTION SEEN
Appearance of New Ford Ex.
pected to Stimulate Ac-
tiVities at Detroit.
BY DAVID J. WILKIE.
Written for the Associated Press.

DETROIT, March 3.-Although the
resumption of activities by the Ford
Motor Co. and the announced inten-
ton of its founder to risk a large part
OF his personal fortune in an effort
to start things going again continues
to occupy the spotlight in the automo-
bile industry, other manufacturers have
not been entirely idle
While the uncertainty Of the Ford
plans has retarded whatever expansion
plans other manufacturers may have
had, none OF them has held back 1882
models awaiting the appearance of the
new Ford cars. Rather, it appears, the
reverse has been the case and Ford has
awaited the presentation of all other
models before definitely announcing his
1882 types.
Most, If not all, of the 1882 models
throughout the industry, were ready
for showing at the annual automobile
shows and, moreover, all had 1ncor-
porated in them all the engineering
advances that had been developed since
the presentation Of the previous years
cars.
Even Chevrolet, regarded In trade
circles as one Of Ford's keenest COM
petitors, was not disposed to hold back
with its current offering. The rumor
Is gaining strength, however, that
Chevrolet is planning to bring out
new low-priced eight-cylinder model as
soon as the new Ford eight makes its
appearance.
Employment in the various motor car
plants has shown relatively little aggre-
gate change during the past fortnight
or SO. Where some plants have ex-
banded the pay rolls, others for varied
reasons have had to curtail them some
what. The competitive sales campaigns
that will follow final disclosure OF the
new Fords and their price tags Is ex-
pected to result in a stepping-up OF
employment rosters in all motor car
plants in the Detroit district
It has been estimated by the Ma
tional Automobile Chamber of Com
merce that in 1881 the number OF per-
sons employed in the motor car in.
dustry and allied lines aggregated
100000.

BY r. H. RICHARDSON


Special Dispatch TO The Star.
. NEW YORK, March 3.-Bonds scared
into new high ground on the recovery
today in the most active trading since
early in February. The best gains were
in domestic railroad bonds and the

covered some lost ground, and the

nearly a point to new top on the

were quoted at II per cent discount
also a new high for the recovery.
Against the renewed flow of optimism
generated by these factors. the failure
Of the Bank of England TO cut It's rate
again had no effect.
