War Has Little Effect
On Leather Industry

NEW YORK, Aug. 30.-Since our
exports of leather and shoes have
been but a small part of our output,
the war is making little difference
to the shoe and leather industries,
according to Prince M. Carlisle in
the curernt number of the Annalist.
While it is admitted readily
enough, he explains, that our ex-
ports of leather may suffer, they
have never represented any substan-
tial portion of leather production.
In 1899, of a dollar value of some
$3.50 900 900 in leather, we exported
only $13,041,811, or about 3.4 per
cent. while imports were SO 563 .686,
or about 2.5 per cent. This resulted
in net exports of only s3,478,l25, or
about 09 per cent.
A minor impetus to domestic sales
of leather may be given by service
buying. Trade estimates put the
need of 100000 armed men at
about 100000 pairs of shoes, while
the entire 1889 purchasing by the
Government amounted to 1898 600
pairs. The Government had bought
this year up to July Is some 1000, 900
pairs. The displacement Of civilian
demand will probably be much less
than the increase in Government
buying.
Foreign trade in shoes also is
negligible. The recent pre-war Pc
riod saw imports running at per
cent or less of domestic production,
but the war has cut this business
down.

Stock Averages
60-Stock Range Since 1927:
BY VICTOR EUBANK,
Associated Press Financial Writer.


NEW YORK, Aug. 30.-The stock
market, which often does the unex-
pected, pulled surprise rallying
rabbit out of the hat today.
The list was mildly improved at
the start, but subsequently slowed
and prices wavered. Buying in rails
then touched off a runup in steels,
motors and other industrial leaders.
Gains for favorites ranged from
to more than points, with dealings
faster than in the past two weeks.
Despite intermittent sluggishness,
volume stepped up to around $4,000
shares, or about double that of the
preceding session. Quotations were
shaved in many cases at the close
by little profit taking on the bulge.
Many traders got an early start
on the forthcoming lengthy holiday
and financial quarters generally
looked for do-nothing day. Gus
toners who showed up at board
rooms. however, turned to the buy
ing side. Principal bidding, at the
same time, was understood to have
come from out-of-town sources.
Bullishness, brokers said, appar-
emily was bolstered by the brighten
ing domestic business picture, in
addition to the feeling of some spec
ulative forces that the British were
giving a good account of themselves
in their battle with the Nazis. Hope
fulness for quick congressional ac-
ton on consumption and taxes also
were said to have inspired a better
attitude toward the stock depart.

A sharp increase in purchasing Of
cotton goods in New York's Worth
street. with a consequent harden
ing of textile rates, was interpreted
as a constructive factor.

shift included Great Northern,

Bethlehem, Chrysler. General Mo-
tors, Sears Roebuck. Montgomery

Higher Rate Is Expected
On 1940-41 Corn Loans
BY the Associated Press

BY the Associated Press.
The Agricultural Department said
yesterday that present conditions in
dicated 1904 loan rate on corn of
about 81 cents bushel, or 4 cents
higher than the 1939-40 rate.
This would be the highest permis-
sible under the Agricultural Adjust
ment Act.
Officials in the Bureau of Agricul-
tural Economics explained the law
provided that when indicated corn
production is below the level of nor
NAL consumption and export, but the
price is Is per cent below parity, a
loan rate of rs per cent of parity is
mandatory.
The present indicated production
OF 2.248 900 bushels is considerably
below the normal consumption plus
export figure of 2,575,000 bushels for
1939-40.
The department said while the
price of corn in July was slightly
above rs per cent of parity, the usual
seasonal decline from July to No.
vember probably would make it
below that figure and require the
maximum loan rate.
The loan is based on the parity
price on or after November Is.
The parity price of corn on July Is
was BIS cents bushel, IS per cent
of which would be 81 cents.

Chicago Grain
By the Associated Press.

CHICAGO, Aug. 30.-Wheat prices
shot up almost cents bushel to-
day, to the best level in more than
two weeks
Buying stimulated by strength in
securities and some purchasing of
mills helped to start the upward
movement, which gained momentum
as previous short sellers covered
accounts.
Brokers said some traders appar-
emily were more encouraged by re-
cent European news. The fact that
spot wheat prices and Government
loan rates are substantially above
futures quotations also was cited as
a strengthening factor.
Wheat closed 1as -134 higher than
