Movement Of Storage
Eqqs Boosts Market
By the Associated Press.

6y INC AscoCihbeu FIces
CHICAGO, Sept. IA better than
normal out-of-storage movement Of
eggs, stimulated by demand for top
quality varieties, lifted prices this
week on best storage eggs to their
highest levels since July, 1887, and
on fresh eggs to their best levels
since last February, the Chicago
Mercantile Exchange said today.
Quotations on storage packed ex-
tras yesterday were 1914 cents a
dozen and on firsts 20 cents. Fresh
graded extras were 1914 cents and
firsts 1872 to 19 cents. These repre-
sent gains of 3 to cents since the
beginning Of August, when prices
were at the lowest levels of the year.
Traders said that although the
rise was partly seasonal, the i'm
proved out-of-storage movement
was the immediate stimulating fac
tor. Takedowns from refrigerators
at major markets were slightly
smaller than year ago, but better
than average. Trade estimates
placed holdings of shell eggs in stor-
age throughout the country on Sep
TENDER at 8,370,000 dozen, Of
which 1873, 100 900 were held by COM
mercial interests, as compared with
1877 $40, 900 dozen, all privately held,
year ago. Stocks on August to-
tailed 234,180,000 dozen, of which
202, $50 900 were commercials.

Copper Market Is cheered
By New Sales Record
By the Associated Press.

~ tnS AbsoCihbeu ffeso.
NEW YORK, Sept. THE air Of
content that enveloped the copper
market today was well founded. A
record daily sales total was estab-
hshed during the week and pro-
ducers Of the red metal boosted their
price II cent to liz cents a pound.
Buyers stampeded the market on
Thursday, after a major interest
announced a higher price. When the
smoke cleared from order books
sales of 1906 tons were disclosed.
Previous daily record was 1os,1o1
tons in July, 1885.
The new price brought copper
back to the level which prevailed
from late February to early August.
On August the quotation was cut
"a cent to II cents.
Metal dealers saw several factors
Immediately behind the rush to &C
cumulate copper. First, consumers
wanted to buy at what appeared
a bargain price before the 1112-cent
basis became widespread. Second,
demand from the United States and
British Governments, much of it for
armament purposes, has whitfield
stocks. Third, manufacturers of
copper felt in many cases supplies
were getting intentionally low.
Back of these influences were two
more. Many observers figured Brit
aims chances of pulling successfully
through the war had improved be-
cause of the brilliant defense of the
Royal Air Force. At the same time
domestic orders were expected to
increase as the national defense
program gains momentum.
Zinc advanced IS points to a base
Of 685 cents pound East st. Louis.
Price strength was seen as an out
growth of a tight supply situation.
Lead was firm at 490-495 cents a
pound.

Huge Wheat Supply
Has Little Effect
On 194l Plans
Winter Crop Acreage
Expected to Remain
About Unchanged
BY FRANKLIN MULLN,
Associated Press Market Writer.

CHICAGO, Sept. 7.-As planting
of wheat proceeds in the winter crop
belt, United States growers today
were trying to adjust 1941 produce
ton plans to the fact that North
American supplies are almost double
annual requirements, with no ap-
parent immediate outlet for most
of the surplus.
While wheat Cleaned from another
bumper harvest was piling up on
farms and In elevators and ware
houses in Canada, farmers In the
Southeastern Plains and through
the Central Mississippi and Lower
Missouri and Ohio River Valleys
were working the soil and sowing
the new domestic crop under gen.
orally favorable weather conditions
Reports indicated that the war,
which has shut off much of the
European market. and the critical
storage situation in Canada, re-
sulting from the excessive supply,
will have little or no effect on the
size of the acreage which farmers
SOW to winter wheat, except possibly
to hold 1t to the minimum allotment
under the Government farm pro-
gram.
Allotment Unchanged.
The area seeded last year was
estimated at 45,0l4,000 acres, 3 per
cent less than in 1888 and 4 per
t,a
1871 national allotment for all
wheat, including spring sown grain,
Is 81 ,000, 900 acres, same as last year.
Out of last falls and this springs
total sowings, 1850 900 acres were
harvested. That amount, according
to latest estimates, was almost TO-
900 900 acres less than the allotment,
of which 1892 900 acres were in
winter wheat.
Reports have indicated that soil
moisture conditions in much of the
belt are the best In several years,
in sharp contrast to drought last
season. Some wheat already is
sprouting, but rain has delayed
planting and field work in other
sections.
Seeding of the l941 crop comes
at a time when North American
bins are bursting with 1899 and
1910 harvested grain. The domestic
supply is only slightly larger than
a year ago, but the Canadian sur
plus is much larger. due to a crop
in excess of 500 900 900 bushels and
q carryover Of more than 30O.0O0,OOO
bushels.
Thus, the total North American
supply aggregates more than 1900
900 900 bushels. or about $50 900 900
In excess Of year ago. This Is
about l,000,00O,0OO bushels larger
than domestic needs. giving the
continent that much wheat to ex-
port and carry over. In normal
times a carry over of 800 900 900
bushels would be considered ample.

Satisfactory Profits
In Movies Forecast
Special Dispatch to The Star.

NEW YORK. Sept 7-Continu-
anee Of satisfactory profits is fore
cast for the United States motion
picture industry during the re-
mainder of 1910 in Poor's Industry
and Investment Surveys.
Increased theater attendance and
concomitantly higher box ONCE re-
ceipts in this country, which are
expected to accompany rising con-
sumner incomes, should offset de-
clines in revenue from abroad -
continues the forecast.
AS production plans and Aim
costs for the 1904 season differ
little from the 1939-40 season, an
improvement in net results should
be registered. Charges, however,
will be made against earnings in
anticipation of losses on foreign
assets and other contingencies aris-
ing from the European war"

Biggest gains were chalked up for
key industrial raw materials, al
though small advances also dotted
the list of foods.
Analysts saw two main reasons for
the price riSes-indications of con-
tinued heavy British buying here be-
cause of generally conceded in
increased demands of the national
defense program.
Copper jumped Il cent a pound to
11i2 cents as sales in New York
piled up to the largest on record on
Thursday. Zinc also moved forward.
Textile prices advanced in the
wake Of a buying drive that broke
long stalemate In the market.
Building materials. such as turpen-
tine and linseed OIL moved up the
price scale.
Cattle sold at peak levels since
May last year. Wheat and most
other grains pulled ahead, along with
eggs, cocoa, -four and lard. Hides
and rubber also improved.
Cotton, faced with huge supplies
declined, and wool gave little
ground. Hogs. recently at the years
