World Wheat Shipments
Expand in Quarter
BY the Associated Press.

6y tQe ASSOCldCSO TEeDSs
Exports of wheat from principal
surplus producing countries during
the July-September quarter Of the
current market year totaled 1872
600, 600 bushels, compared with 49,
100000 in the corresponding period
last season, the Agriculture Depart
ment reported today.
The volume of United States ex-
ports did not follow the general pat
tern, however. Shipments from this
country totaled only 22,032 600
bushels, compared with 29,792 900
in the corresponding period last
season.
Prices of American wheat have
been above world levels and the
Government, unlike q year ago, has
been making no special effort to
expedite exports. Last season q
bounty was paid on foreign ship
ments. Prospects of q short crop
next season in drought-plagued
sections of the winter wheat belt
have lessened the pressure for .
subsidy this season.
Canada, on the other hand, has
exported about q third more wheat
this season. The volume during
the July September quarter was re-
ported at 1901 900 bushels, COM
pared With 30, 1000 In the like
period last season. Argentine ex-

Stocks Extend
Slow Decline
During Week
Foreign Liquidotion
Aquin Mentioned
As Market Factor
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Nov. 1l.-Continu-
ing wholly apathetic toward the sort
Of news that usually makes for
speculative activity, the stock mar
ket extended its slow downward
drift last week.
Once or twice there were indica-
tions the list was seeking to es-
cape from the narrow range In
which 1t has held for the last five
weeks. but the pull was not upward,
but toward lower prices.
On Thursday, for example, the
war shares and number of others
were pelted down hard by the touch
ing of of stop-loss orders.
First of these air pockets to dis
turb the list were encountered in
the aircrafts. 1t appeared that many
speculative holders had counted on
fresh wave Of buying with the
final removal Of the arms embargo.
However, 1t failed to materialize and
many Of the shares sagged badly In
absence Of the expected support.
Foreign Selling Seen.
The factor of foreign selling of
American securities again was sug-
gested In Wall Street brokerage
circles as an explanation for the
markets heaviness.
1t has been no secret that foreign
holders have been liquidating here
since the start Of the war, but at
no time has It appeared to OBJ
servers that such offerings put the
list under undue strain.
The relatively small daily trading
volumes in the Stock Exchange
seemed to analysts good enough
proof that the wariness Of buyers,
rather than the weight of selling,
was the answer to the unimpres-
sive price movement
The Associated Press average of
go stocks recorded small gain Fri
day when trading ended for the
week, but the index was down Ia
points from the closing Of the pre-
vious Friday.
Commodities Down.
The dropping tendency extended
to many commodity markets also.
1t looked as If some speculative buy
ers of staples had become tired of
waiting for the upswing that had
been predicted on the idea foreign
buying would buoy such markets
with the passage of the neutrality
bill.
Bonds moved unevenly, with the
general run Of low yield issues hold
ing recent gains or moving = little
higher.
Contrasting sharply with the dis
pirited action of markets was the
general color of industrial and trade
reports. Highlishting these vas
further rise in steel production to
92.5 per cent. which topped the best
mark of 1887.
The week brought another crop Of
extra and increased dividend pay
ments which were expected to give
considerable boost to retail trade
for the balance Of the year.

Los Angeles Plane
Factories Report
Huge BackIogs
$l42,10o,0oo Untitled
Orders Held With
$4,000 at Work
By the Associated Press.

LOS ANGELES, Nov. 11.-A sur
vey showed today that Los Angeles
County airplane factories have un-
filled orders totaling $142, 100 900, Of
which 126,5O0. 900 is for war planes
or planes that can be utilized for
military purposes.
The survey disclosed that more
than $4,000 men are working in four
major factories alone and that their
potential output is more than 750
planes q month.
Unonicial data obtained despite
the secrecy now maintained by man
ufacturers indicated that Europe is
depending on plants in this area for
mere than half its military pur-
chases.
The principal plants now have
manufacturing space totaling 3,O00,-
600 square feet. BY late December
this is to be increased by another
375 900 square feet.
In at least one instance, the ac-
celerated activity was interpreted as
an aid to United States national
defense.
President Donald Douglas of the
Douglas Aircraft Co., largest in the
Nation, said:
This can't be called boom bub-
BILE that will burst with the end of
the European war. America is going
ahead with its own air armament.
Who knows but that we'll be next
after the European nations settle
their own quarrels. Now that they
are talking in terms of hemisphere
defense, $500 airplanes (present
War Department quota) won't be
enough"

U.S.. Farm Shipments
Abroad Reduced
In September
Submarine Campaign,
Closing Of Markets
Are influences
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
The war may have contributed
to a slight advance in the level of
American farm prices. but 1t has
had 4 depressing" effect on ex-
ports Of those commodities. the
Agriculture Department reported
yesterday.
Foreign shipments of farm prod
ucts during September, the first
month Of the conflict. were said to
have been smaller than those Of
August or September last year.
Obliteration as . market of the
0erman-controlled areas of Europe,
the imposition Of wartime COM
modify control measures in other
countries, the German submarine
campaign against allied shipping
and sharp increases in marine
freight and insurance rates were
listed as "unfavorable" export fac
tors.
American farm exports were
valued at $3.50 1862 900 during the
first quarter of this fiscal year July-
September). This figure compared
with $3.50 ,911 900 in the correspond
ing quarter last year.
Save for an EXCEPTIONAL foreign
cotton situation which has been
playing into the hands of this coun-
try, the farm exports might have
been much smaller, officials said
While cotton exports increased "a
per cent over September, 1898, for
eign shipments of other agricultural
products declined Is per cent.
Heavy declines were reported in
exports of tobacco. fresh fruits and
grains, due largely to decreased pur-
chases by belligerent nations. Con-
trary to expectations of farm on
cials, exports of cured pork during
the first month of hostiities failed
to rise above the September, 1898
level.
Imports of agricultural products
on the other hand, continued to rise
Their value for the July-Septembe,
quarter was estimated at 1856 $780,
600, compared with $219, ,638 900 last
year. Imports of cattle and calves
played an important part in this
II per cent increase.
