NEW YORK, October 10.—The most fmportant incident in the financial market today was a further advance in sterling exchange. which carried #long with it French francs and other currencies of western Europe. A rise ©f over 11 cents in the pound in ster- Jing within a single week coming at 1his time, when there is such acutc nterest in the subject of German rep- arations, might seem to ave some broad significance. As a matter of fact, how two main reasons for the ad have no connection whatcver w the {ndemnity question: simply the relations betwe. Britain and the United State Great Britain has becn buying up exchange, preparing to meet obliga- tions falling ‘due here the middle of the month. At the same time the export movement, both in cotton and in wheat. has falien off, and thus the maln source of the supply of s 1ling drafts. which has been weigh- ing the market down in recent months, has been considerably cur- tailed. This combination, coming upon a lingering hort interest of some pro- portions, has furnished an adequate explanation for the sterling upturn. which is the largest that has occurred wince early in the vear. when rates =ot up to the four-dollar lev Interesting as it was, however. it «<ould not be said that the advance in the exchanges had much influence upon other operations of the day. In cotton it was more than offset by further heavy offerings of the staple from the gouth 5 Inasmuch as the London position in cur security market is small, the erling movement had no effect upen stocks. Tha stock market opened fairly strong and for an hour or so active & went on in the American oil Then realizing sales were encounter- ed in sufficient quantity lo cause operations for the rise to be sus- | pended. Weaknees appeared in Studebaker and one or two other of the motors, {algo in the erratic Mexican Petroleum. Olix Are Higher. Here and there oil quotations were advanced, not in the nature of a fresh rise. but by the way of making more uniform last week’s price rais- ing. For the first time in many months the steel corporation report- 1 an increase in unfilled orders on s books in the figures submitted for ctober 1. The increase was a small one—it amounted to only 28744 tons—but even so. there was another important indication of the turn of the tide in . the steel industry. The prolonged and rather disquiet- ing slump in the grain markets was at least temporarily checked by the overnment report published over Sunday, which gave the final wheat yield as 47,000.000 bushels less than Jast year and at the same time showed’a lowering of the corn har- vest 69,000,000 bushels during last month. On_the other hand. while no very definite judgment could be passed upon the meeting between the rail- way executives and the heads of the xovernment regarding the rate and vage question, there was no doubt That the conference had left the rail- way outlook more uncertain than it “was before. Studebaker Wenk. Persistent sclling occurked in Studebaker today and this was one of the weak points in the general narket. People who were bullish on Studebaker when it was having its big move across 90 last spring. are , mot bullish now. simply because t1hey say that the earnings have ; fallen off, and that there is no i likelinood of either an increase in ihe dividend or an extra dividend. the rumors of which were the basis , Tor the movement five months age Studebaker even in the third quarter jhas been covering its dividend by a ¢ air margin. but its earnings have * been running more than 50 per cent, : =o it is reported. under those during { company enjoved in the first half of & 31921 Chandler Motors was also ! heavy again.

There were recessions of several cents in all issues, with the excep- toin of the Liberty first 41;s, which were prac unchanged from their close Mexico 5s ad- vanced a point and there were sim- ilar increases in Brazil 8s and Re- public of Chile receipts.

California Gas and Electric refunding 5s were up 1% over their close last week, and established a new high at 90. Both the first and the convertible 6s of Wilson & Co. were in demand at higher prices. Chile Copper 6s were stronger, while Mercantile Marine 6s, which were one of the features last week, worked lower. No new iasues of importance were offered to the public today. An inci- dent of note was the strength of the French city issues. Bordeaux 6s at 85 were hailf a point above their pre- vious top of the year. This was & direct response to the now virtually established certainty that the City of Paris 6s will be redeemed without an effort made to renew them.
