Many of the western car- riers sold at new low records for the year. Several specialties also broke ply on unfavorable dividend re- ports. Sales approximated 700,000 shares, NEW YORK, Oct. 16.—Short covering operations were again in evidence at the opening of today's stock market and the general list displayed a firm tone. United Statee Cast Iron Pipe advanced a point and United States and Bethlehem Steel DuPont and American Can opened uctionally higher. Punta Alegre ends on which were resumed lost ground on profit ilation broadened and while the main trend was upward, a num ber of shares pursued a contrary course, most of which, however, wero of the relatively inactive class, except Great Northern preferred and Northern Pacific which fell one and two points respectively, the latter establishing a new low figure for the year, Conspicuous strength was lisplayed by the motors and acces: ory shares, while there was also a smart demand for several of the steels, American Can, DuPont and Reynolds Tebacco B, the last men- tioned touching 71 a new high figure x the year.

The market closed unsettled at shade to %o net ad- vance, with December $1.08%@% to $1.08% and May $1.12% to $1.12%. CHICAGO, Oct. 16—Only insigni- ficant fractional price changes took Place in the wheat market today during the early dealings. Most of the trade was of a local character, with neither side having any special advantage. Bearish crop estimates from Argentina were circulated, but failed to make much impression. The opening, which ranged from ‘4c decline to a shade advance with December $1.08 to 1.08%, and May 1.12%, was followed by a slight gen eral sag and then by trifling tem- porary gains. i After midday, a material advance in prices took place in connection with reports of a possible cut in railroad freight charges on export wheat. In the end, however, prices were but Iittle above yesterday's finish. In corn and onts as well as in wheat, dealers were in a waiting mood, and early fluctuations kept within a range of a half cent. Af. ter opening %40 lower to %c higher December .76% to .76%, the corn market continued to hold near to yesterday's finish, General buying on the part of commission houses lifted the mar- ket suddenly about the time that wheat began to ascend. Wet weather and floods were bullish factors, De. cember corn touched a new high price record for the season.
