in that no export call for domestic

In the wheat trade, imitation pos
sibilities restrict selling that appar-
emily would be induced we're usual
market circumstances all that had to
be thought of. Crop experts say that
nothing yet percludeS the raising Of
a 1884 United States wheat crop ade-
quate for home requirements plus a
liberal carryover, notwithstanding
that over large part of hard Winter
territory as well as the Spring wheat
area March has been another month
Of deficient moisture. On the other
hand, April will be especially impor-
tant for Winter wheat growth and
as to Spring wheat seeding.
Oat Stocks Ample
More than 30,0000OO bushels Of

a substantial stock both at Duluth

CORN IS BLAMED
FOR SAG IN GRAINS
Liquidating Sales and Large
Chicago Stocks Are
BeariSh Factors.
BY JOHN p. BOUGHAN,
Associated Press Market Editor.

CHICAGO, March 31-Acting as a
bugbear for the grain trade as a
whole, the corn market just at present
is receiving much blame for prevail
ing low prices.
Liquidating sales in corn have
been heavier of late than in other
grains, with the corn market giving
no evidence of any genuine buying
resistance. Contrary to the position
Of wheat, Chicago stocks of corn
available for delivery on May con-
tracts are liberal, serving as a bearish
influence in view Of larger margin call
requirements to be enforced here
after under the new national grain
exchange code.
Sealed Holdings Cited.
Compared with week ago. corn
was 2 ls-2l2 cents bushel lower this
morning, wheat, 34-19s down; oats,
! IL Is off, and provisions varying from
10 cents decline to rise of cents.
A disturbing factor in the corn
market situation is that as near as
can be determined farmers have
sealed in cribs 260O0O,00O bushels of
corn to obtain Government loans.
The loans are set to expire August l.,
and it Is figured in some quarters

S9,826,767 DEFICIT
Loss Reflects Heavy Recession in
Production and Sales Re-
corded Since June.
BY the Associated Press.


NEW YORK, October 31.-Refiect-
ing the heavy drop in steel production
and sales since June. the United
States Steel Corporations September
quarter statement showed a deficit of
S9,826,767 This compared with net
income Of $5.35o,214 for the June
quarter and a net loss of $2,717,014
for the September quarter last year.
Myron c. Taylor, chairman of the
board, in statement issued after the
directors meeting yesterday said that
while output had dropped to 20 per
cent of capacity during a part of Oc-
tober, "at present the rate is % per
cent with indications of betterment." "
Operating earnings during the Sep
tember quarter, after ordinary ex-
penses, amounted to $3,768, 1868 against
81, ,082, ,389 in the June quarter and
1885, 1892 for the September quarter
last year.
After payment Of the preferred
dividend there was a total deficit for
the quarter of $11,628,172, compared
with surplus Of $3,548,836 in the June
quarter, and deficit of $4,518,419 in
the corresponding period in 1888.
The chairman said that the corpo-
ration's position as to net working
assets was slightly better at Septem-
Der 80 than at June 30 and was about
$18, 100000 in excess Of the net at
December 81, 1888.

BY EDWARD C. STONE.

In the first 10 months of this year
bank clearings in Washington scored
a gain of S98. .563, 1888 AZ over the same
period last year, according to the re-
port of the Washington Clearing
House Association made this noon by
Manager Charles E. Bright
October clearings in the Capital
also were reported today, showing
substantial gain of nearly Sl000O,OOO
over the corresponding month last
year as well as an increase over Sep
tember this year.
Bank clearings in october totaled
$67,484,7l1.24 in comparison with
$57,625, ,74009 in October 1888, an ad-
vance of s9,858,971.15. Checks passing
through the clearing house in Sep
tember of this year totaled S58,35l,-
95485
Clearings for the first 10 months of
1884 amounted to $605 5,020, 1896 as
compared with a total of $506,456,-
951. .54 in the like period last year.
The sharp gains for October and
for the 10 months are both assigned
to better business conditions by local
bankers. The various other business
barometers have revealed marked
progress here for several months. To-
days figures bring the improved Sit
uation out in a still brighter light.
Clearings reported by the Washing
ton Clearing House Association for
the first 10 months of 1884 compare
as follows with the corresponding
months in 1888:

STOCKS ARE FIRM
IN QUIET SESSION
TRANSACTIONS ON The NEW YORK STOCK EXCHANGE |SIO
Some SpeCialties Register
Large Gains-0therS
Remain Narrow.
BY VICTOR EUBANK,
Associated Press Financial Writer.

NEW YORK, October 3l.-The
stock market remained in a fairly
firm but somnolent state today.
Substantial gains were scored by
a number of specialties, but the
general list was narrow. Oils
were moderately higher. Amerada
Corp, United Fruit and Liggett &
Myers B got up around points each.
Noranda Mines dipped as much. U. S.
Steel, American Telephone, Du Pont
and General Motors were about even.
Transfers approximated 400, 900 shares.
While wheat was bit easier, corn
improved. Cotton was barely steady.
Bonds were mixed, with United States
Government securities slightly lower.
Foreign exchanges were quiet around
their previous closing levels.
Among the Oil shares, Amerada got
up 2 points, and gamers Of fractions
to point included Standards Of New
Jersey and California, Seaboard and
Union Of California. Gillette common
flrmed slightly, and the preferred was
up a point, both at new highs for the
year. At the same time Noranda
AsAA4ACo oCN4AAlCO " a 44C" 1900 iON
United Fruit advanced and East
man Kodak. Du Pont, Liggett &
Myers B and Spiegel- i'm
proved point each. Baldwin pre-
ferred also recovered a point Small
gains were shown by U. S. Steel,
American Telephone, American Can
Consolidated Gas, General Motors, Du
Pont, Chrysler, Johns -Manville, Ma
tional Distillers. New York Central,
Santa Fe and Pullman. There was
little interest in the utilities.
Firmness of some of the oil stocks
was attributed partly TO signs that
the gasoline war is terminating and
to the boosting of prices of the fuel
in certain sections of the country.
The announcement of President
Roosevelt at his press conference that
the per cent cut in Government
salaries would be restored in the next
budget because an advance in the
cost of living would justify such ac-
ton did not create any particular
market stir.
The Presidents statement that he
also expected an increase in values,
simultaneously, would lessen the diff
ficulty of paying debts, apparently was
interpreted as only mildly bullish.
With two week end holidays facing
the markets here, many traders were
inclined to maintain a do-nothing
policy. Another deterrent to any sub
stantial expansion of activity also was
said to be the fact some important
operators find their lawyers are un-
able to give them definite and con-
crete advice regarding taxation and
other hazards connected with the new
Stock Exchange legislation.
