BY GEORGE T. HUGHES. Special Dispatch to The Star. NEW YORK, October 1.—The re- duction in the Bank of England dis- count from 4% to 4 per cent had no effect upon the bond market today. It was accepted as a sign of a desire to preserve international conditions the way they are and not as an indi- cation®of a further lowering of rates. Dealers In close touch with the market both on and off_the Stock Ex- change reported that offerings around the current price levels were larger. This meant, to use the common phrase, that the market was “heavy.” The 6 per cent money rate supposedly was a factor, but actually it did not count. It was due to the October corporation settlements, which were admittedly no more than a temporary influence. French Bonds Steady. Following the rise in Belglan ex- change there was more of a demand for Belgian government bonds. French issues were steady, with the 7s sell- ing most of the time around 93%, and the 8s around 1053 The French city bonds were higher, the Bordeaux 6s selllng at 88 against 88 the previ- ous day. Austrian government Ts crossed par and were one of the interesting inci- dents of the day. Profit taking con- tinued in German Central Agricultural Bank bonds, carrying the price be- low 94. Dodge Sales Active. In the domestic section of the market the chief features were Dodge Brothers 6s and International Tele- phone and Telegraph 53s. Both of these were actively bought. The move- ment in the Dodge Brothers bonds was part of a general rise in the Dodge Brothers securities. | Railroad Issues Were Steady. The largest new issue was a $4,000,- 1000 closed offering of the German At- lantic Cable Co. The bonds run for 20 years and carry a 7 per cent in- terest rate. American Public Service Co. offered $2,000,000 5% per cent bonds. BALTIMORE SMASHING BANK CLEARING TOTALS September Reports Show Business Going Ahead at Satis- factory Rate. Special Dispatch to The Star. BALTIMORE, October 1.—Bank clearings, generally accepted as the most reliable barometer of trade this year, promise to surpass all previous records, so far as Baltimore is con- cerned. For the nine months ended yesterday local clearings totaled $4,252,166,683, against $3,337,978,681 for the corresponding period in 1924, an Increase of $914,188,002. If the rato of gain reported for the first nine months is maintained to the end of the year, clearings for 1925 will approximate $5,600,000,000, or $574,655,259 more than the total for 1924, which was the banner year up to_that time. Bank clearings do not mount when trade is qulet, and the indications that they will exceed the 1924 record by well over half a billion should dissi- pate any feeling that business s not going ahead at a satisfactory rate. CORN NEARiY H’AB.VESTED SPRINGFIELD, I, October 1 (Spe- cial).—Over 90 per cent of the Illinois corn crop is reported safe from frost.

By the Associated Press. CHICAGO, October 1.—Wheat show- ed an early trend to lower price levels today, infleunced more or less by opin- fons that European demand will be insufficient to dispose of normal Cana dian exports before new Argentine and Australlan wheat shipments are available. General selling carried the market down to below any bottom price record which the May delivery has heretofore reached this season. The fact that trading in new style wheat contracts here began today barring delivery of No. 2 Northern wheat except at 3 cents discount made the execution of orders somewhat slower than usual. Opening prices, un- changed to 2 cents lower; December 1.36% to 1.38 and May 1.39 to 1.40%, new style for both months, were fol- lowed by a slight further sag and then by something of a rally. Corn and oats were relatively firm owing largely to unofficlal estimates that the corn crop suffered a shrink- age of 20,000,000 bushels during Sep- tember. After opening unchanged to % lower, December 8% to 18%, corn rose to 79% for December. Oats started unchanged to % off, December 39% to 39%, and then held near to initial figures. Commission house buying of October lard strengthened the provision mar- ket despite weakness of hog value: WHEAT— Open. High. Low.
