Chicago Grain
By the Associated Press.

oy Lie ASSoCldleu fIeSS.
CHICAGO, Sept. 27.-Wheat prices
turned fractionally downward today
in light trade
The decline, however, reflected
lack OF buying interest rather than
any selling pressure. During much
of the session, prices were mixed,
and moved within a range Of u
cent.
December contracts, after ad-
vancing 4 cent at 86ls, dropped a
cent to 851s, down 3. from the
previous close. At that level, small
buying support restored part of the
loss.
Weather conditions in the domes-
tic grain belts attracted more at
tention. but some traders believed
it was too early for dry weather to
affect the market.
The Government weekly weather
summary said continued droughty
conditions throughout the major
winter wheat belt had delayed fall
plowing and seeding, and that re-
ports were received of planting in
soil too dry to germinate the seed.
Similar conditions, it added, were
now prevalent in many Atlantic
States, and moisture also was said to
be needed in parts of the upper
Rocky Mountain section and in the
Pacific Northwest.
Little precipitation fell overnight
in the Southwest and the forecast
indicated generally fair weather in
much of the area.
Corn prices fell as much as % cent
a bushel at times, with some selling
credited to cash interests. Trade,
however, was light.
Oats declined about y cent, but
rye again showed independent
strength and advanced major frac-
tions.
Lard was lower, rejecting grains
rather than an improved hog mar
ket.
At II am. wheat was 14-12 down
compared with yesterdays finish,
December, 85l2; May, 861s; and
corn was 3s-a4 down, December,

Stock Averages
BY VICTOR EUBANK,
Associated Press Financial Writer.

NEW YORK, Sept. 27-Rails and
utilities felt the main weight of
buying in the stock market today
in a shift from the recently buoy
ant war shares.
A mixture of moderate gains and
losses resulted from diversion of
emphasis to groups which had been
tagging in the earlier phases of the
war advance.
Proflt-takers seemed to be active
in steels, motors, coppers, aircrafts,
chemicals and miscellaneous shares
prominent in the war baby" drives
to higher prices. Some dropped back
for losses of point or more.
Rail traffic expansion, continued
equipment buying and increasing
power use helped put the spotlight
on the carrier and utility groups.
Dealings in these were brisk. Turn
over in the first hour totaled $780,
900 shares, the largest in some time
for that period.
Higher most of the time were
North American, Public Service of
New Jersey, Santa Fe, Great North
ern preferred, Pullman, Westing-
house, Pennsylvania and Goodyear
Tire.
Depressed were United States
Steel, International Nickel Western
Union, Douglas Aircraft, United Air
craft, du Pont. Union Carbide and
Homestake Mining.
In the curb, a number of
usually inactive shares were up l
to 3 or more, including Pittsburgh
& Lake Erie, Driver Harris, Midland
Steel and South Penn Oil Most
stocks were only fractionally changed
up and down.
Gold shares ran into more selling.

Collections by Washington de-
partment stores in August ran at
about the usual level, the Federal
Reserve Bank of Richmond an
nounced today. Of bills due on the
first of the month, 1858 per cent were
paid.
The percentage for the whole
Fifth District was 276, for Balti-
more 29.2, for Richmond 3O2, the
best record in the area, with an av-
erage percentage of 25.7 for the
other cities.
Stocks of goods in Washington
stores at the end of August were 5.4
per cent higher than a year ago and
rs per cent above August this year.
AS already noted, retail sales in the
Capital were 81 per cent above Aug
ust, 1888, and as per cent better
in the first eight months of 1899
than in the like 1888 period.
The Richmond report is based on

Chief of National Bank
Division DiscIoses
Views at ConcIuve
BY EDWARD C. STONE

Earl w. Cook, president of the Ma
tional Bank Division of the Ameri-
can Bankers Association, stated at
the Seattle convention that his divi-
sion is strongly opposed to eli:nina-
ton or curtaiiment of the Office of
Controller of the Currency, a posi-
bility under Government reorganiza-
tlon powers given the President. Mr..
Cook declared the bankers were bit
terly against any move that might
switch the Office to the Federal De-
posit Insurance Corporation.
At another point in his address,
Mr. Cook said the outbreak of the
war in Europe has given stimulus
to business activities in the United
States and in all likelihood banks will
temporarily experience increased de-
mand for loans, firmer money rates
and increased earnings. The ulti-
mate effect upon American business
cannot yet be gauged, he said.
Controller of the Currency, Pres
. ton Delano, told the A. B. A. meeting
that national banks collectively were
never so strong to play their part
in the great decisions which lie
ahead"

Public offering tomorrow of 10000
shares of Julius Garfinckel & Co.
common stock at $40 a share and
10000 shares of 6 per cent preferred

In spite of the merchandising
genius displayed by the late Julius
Garfinckel, the department store has
enjoyed greater volume of business
since his death in 1886 than while
he was the active head of the firm.
