INDUSTRIAL BONDS
SCORE NEW HIGHS
Utility Issues Also Attract
Enough Buyers To Mark
Up Good Advances

NEW YORK, Sept. 20-CR-1n-
dustrial and utility loans attracted
enough buyers to advance into
new 1910 highs in the averages to-
day while other sections Of the bond
market were ragged and without
definite trend.
H i g h industrial operations
throughout the country in carrying
through with the government re-
armament program with its con-
sequent heavy demand for electric
power was the inspiration for fair
ly large buying in the leaders,
brokers said. The Associated Press
average of 10 utility bonds moved
up a minor fraction to 98.5 and the
10 industrials in the compilation
likewise edged ahead a small
amount to 104.1, both new 1910
tops. Other groups in the index
showed little change.
Profit taking could be detected in
some of the recently strong rails
but the group as a whole stood up
well and in numerous cases show
ed net gains at the end of the day.
A weak spot cropped up in Interna-
tional Telephone IS after publica-
ton of the six month earning
statement showing a loss for the
period. The issue closed down 2 3-8
at 20 1-8.
Posting modest gains for the day
were, among others, American &

bia Gas & Electric IS at 104 SO,

CHICAGO GRAIN

CHICAGO, Sept. 20.-RNSep-
TENDER wheat, purchased By con-
Stunning interests attracted by its
relative cheapness and by dealers
not wishing to make delivery on
"short'' sales, rose. a cent a bushel
today to the highest level in more
than two months.
This buoyed the entire grain
market. Trading in all September
grain deliveries will cease after
tomorrow and any contracts not
settled will then have to be salts
fled by delivery Of actual grain
before the end of the month.
The attractiveness of September
what from the standpoint of con-
Stunning interests was Indicated by
the fact that until today it has been
quoted at a discount under de-
ferred deliveries. Due partly to the
tightening cash wheat supply situa-
ton, resulting from the govern
ment loan program, No. 2 hard
wheat sold here at 81 cents, 3
cents over September, and equal
to the loan rate on a Chicago basis.

NEW YORK T

NEW YORK, Sept. 20.-R-Cot-
ton futures scored fresh gains of
3 to z points today.
Most buying came from south
eastern spot and mill interests, ap.
parently to forestall a p o S sible
shortage of spot cotton because of
a growing tendency among produ-
GERS to withhold for a premium
over the loan rate.
The buyers would accept deliv-
cry on futures contracts rather,
than bid in spot markets.
