NEW YORK, Sept. 6 (P)-
Stocks generally continued to oper-
ate on the losing side of the past
short market week. Bonds were
spotty but commodities exhibited
furthur strength.
AS in the past month or so sell
ings in equities never approached
the million-share mark. Short
covering and investment bidding
appeared at intervals to drop
wavering leaders. This was based
on the idea that liquidation had
been overdone and that a fall rally
still was a possibility. Offerings
again were attributed mainly to
pessimism over the darkening
foreign economic picture, dwind-
ling exports and the likelihood that
international unsettlement eventu-
ally would hit domestic business.
The wage-price spiral remained
as a bearish argument.

GRAINS LOWER
AFTER RECORD
Fair-Sized Gains Noted
Despite Late
Slump
BY WILLIAM FERRIS

Actions forced grains lower at
the close of the board Of trade
today after several more new
records had been rung Up during
the early trading. Lard ended with
fair = sized gains despite a late
slump.
Some selling in grains was
based upcn agriculture secretary,
Anderson's statement that Amerl-
can export will be cut this year.
While such a decrease has been
expected by the grain trade for
ome time, A%nderson's statement
was the first official announce
ment along that line.

Strength of lard was based on
the belief that, if grain exports
are curtailed. an effort will be
made to compensate for this de-
cline bv increased exports Of fats

highs.

Hedge sales were apparent

during the current season through
Aug. 80 amounted to 480, 1886 bales.
This made the total registered for
export since November, 1914, ap-
proximately 1855, $40 bales.
Private reports pointed out that

Established a new record high at
1888 IA. Another new record was
also set in the cash market, where
no. l yellow corn sold at $2.57 IL.
Purchases of cash corn on a to
arrive basis were fair at so, 900
bushels. but this figure was ex-
ceeded by hipping sales from

Unlike corn, the September oats
oats contract failed to set a
new record. It's peak was S1.18 3-8

This ecllpsed the previous season

composite for the four sessions
showed a ne loss Of z of a point at
64.5. 1t was the second weekly dip
and put the index back to its low
since last June 80. Volume for the
week of 1891, 73O shares compared
with the previous weeks five-day
figure of 3,950,32O which was a
minimum for any like stretch
since November, 1913. 1t was the
smallest four-day weekly aggre-
gate of the year.
The list enjoyed its only average
advance of the week On Tuesday
when wall streeters returned from
the Labor Day holiday a bit infla-
tion-conscious as veterans lined up
before banks all over the nation
to cash millions in terminal leave
bonds. Top gains failed to hold
in most cases and dealings ran to
only IS, 1000 shares. Rails held their
own despite the granting of a wage
boost to incorporating workers by
an arbitration board. Good divi-
dends and earnings were more or
less ignored.
Veterans bond cashing began
to taper Wednesday and stocks
reverted to irregularity. The over
all average was a trifle lower al
though plus signs held a shade in
the majority. Aircrafts strengthen
ed on talk of expanding govern
ment and private orders for new
planes. British foreign minister,
Bevin's proposal that the United
States redistribute it's gold to help
foreign trade left the market cold.
Transfers remained at 65O,00o
shares.
The list went into a short but
sharp nosedive Thursday, with
selling heavy in the second hour
and losses ranging from 1 to 2 or
more points widespread.
