largely overcome in later trading.
The market opened With steady
tone. There was more snap to trading
than any day this week. Initial de-
clines in a few of the speculative rail-
road bonds were wiped out and con-
verted into small advances, rejecting
the firming of stocks. Railroad sta
tistics currently published show an i'm
pressive improvement in traffic and con-
siderable progress in the matter OF re-
trenchment. Some of the Eastern

THREAT OF OIL PRICE
CUT AROUSES TRADE
BY WILLIAM VOIGT, JR.,
Associated Press staff Writer,

TULSA. Okla, September pa
thoroughly aroused midcontinent oil
area stood militantly today against a
threatened cut in the price of crude Gil.
The threat came from two major
companies that have mot yet been
named specifically by oil men in inter-
views for publication, but are freely
named in conversations outside the
record
Against these two are arrayed the
large and small independents, State
conservation leaders and newspaper and
trade journal editors, while other jor
companies who have taken little or no
part in the present disturbance are pas
sive but interested watchers on the side
lines.
Leaders in the area. speaking openly
for the first time since rumors began
circulating several weeks ago, have come
forward in droves the last two or three
days to announce their stand against
any revision downward, and declared
instead for a further lowered output
with probable subsequent price in
crease. The top price now is 81 a
barrel.

FARM PRICE GAINS
. AID FOOD INDUSTRY
Firmer Market for Raw Ma
teriaIs Means Profits
for Merchandizers.
BY BERNARD S. O'HARA,


NEW YORK, September 2S.-The
food products industry has been heart
ened by the recent substantial advance
in prices of agricultural commodities
and now looks forward to a period OF
larger volume and more satisfactory
profit margins.
Leaders in the industry regard the
turn in farm prices as constructive
development of the greatest Importance,
and if it is followed by an appreciable
increase in public purchasing they be-
lieve it should go far to ease the pres
ent unfavorable competitive conditions
in the industry and improve consider
ably the sales and profit possibilities.
Meat packers in particular are said to
be benefiting by the changed condi-
tionS, having worked themselves into
position which at least promises the
approach of a profitable basis this year.
They have greatly improved their in
ventory position, and the effect of this,
it is pointed out, should be salutary on
the packing price structure. Enlarge
ment in demand for their products as
economic conditions improve will, it is
asserted by packing authorities, make
the industry's position brighter than for
some time.
Another important branch of the food
industry-canned goodS-iS also show
ing indications of more stability.
A long continued overproduction
brought about a declining tendency in
this market for the past several years,
but with the general and sharp reduc-
ton in the food packs following the
more serious phase of the depression,
the situation has become much more
favorable for producers and distributors.
Dairy products concerns are still IN
keen competition, but even in this
branch the outlook is said to be de-
cidedly better than a few months ago,
due to the promise Of increased dis
tribution.
