NEW YORK. October 2 rather heavy liqudation at interiais, new hizgh Trecords continued to e | marked up in the spscialty favorites on the curb exchangs today. In most in-| stances the issues selacted for leadership | were those that held merger possibili- | ties or the prespact of incr ings it was evident. however. th lative sentimeni had unde 0 change in its calculations s to thz im. madiate future price movement the disposition weas to liquidate a where this could be accomplished with- out materially aflecting the price struc- | ture of the merket Schulte Real Estete went forward nto new high ground when 1t changed | hands at 3y, and was 4 points higner on the day. It was influenced by buying sald to be for the account ol prominent interests, who were of the opinion that because of the sirong financial position and increased opera- tions it was entitled to a higher-price level. In the oils, Stancard of Ohio was a favorite, advancing 4 poinis at one tine to a new high for the prescnt share capitalization. The prospect of special considerations of stockholders at the next meeting was the incentive for the demand. In the independent oils, Lion Ofl & Refining continued active, foliow- ing the recent sharp upturn. still re- sponding to the optimistic remarks of President Winters regarding the earn- ings outlook. Darby Petroleum was anoiher favorite. Food shares were again in demand under " leacership of Hygrade Food Produsts, which went to a new top. Uniform strength of this issue and Gobel during the past two cays was considered . significant. Othems - that reached new tops included Balaban & Katz, up more than 4 points; Checker | Cab Manufacturing, up almost 4 poinis at cne tume: Columbia Graphopaone, some 3 points higher: National Rubber Machinery _issues | and ‘- among high- priced specialtics Bendix, up some 6 points; A. G. Spalding, 7 points higher at 230; and [Dominion Stores, 4 points higher, around 145. . The new Filene common ‘went to its best, cloze to the 60 jevel. CORN PRICES GAIN IN EARLY TRADING Curtailment of 109,000,000 Bush- els Causes Buying Move. Wheat Irregular. B the Associated Press. . CHICAGO, October 2.—Unofficial crop reports issued here today pointed to a somewhat smaller corn vield ths season than was indicated 'a month ego. Domestic Spring wheat estimates were elightly larger. On th» whole, the re- ports coincided with general expecta- tions. “Starting at !4 to % advance, corn later showed further gains. Wheat opened unchenged to 3; up, rose a little more and then reacted. Oats were firm: Provisions elso inclined upward. . Curtailment of - about 100,000,000 bushels in the estimdted 1928 production of corn, #s reported today by leading authorities and as compared with a month ago, led to' fair buying on.the part of commission houses, and brought 2bout advances in price. On= of the principal reports figured the probable candition of corn’at the time of matur- ity at 77.8 per ccent with an indicated yield of 2.920,000,000 hushels. This re- port said cars average only moderate in size, leaving ‘the final crop materially below earlier prospacts based upon more or less heavy stands. Another widely known crop expert #aid that owing to early maturity of this season’s corn crop and on account of shortage of old corn, feeding of the new crop has started earlier and heavier than usual. Becays> of this situation, a larger percentage of corn.than usual romises to bg consumed by Novem- r 1. Largest estimates given of corn vield by States are Iowa. 499.000,000 bushels, and Illinois, 373,000,000 bushels. Business Slows Down -Somewhat After Early Gains—Prices Ease Off. Br the Associated Press. NEW YORK, October 2.—The cotton market opened steady at an advance of 4 to 12 points with the active months chowing net gains of 8 to 13 points right after the opening on reports of rains in the Eastern belt and unfavor- able crop advices. The market met in- creased offerings around 19.30 for De- cember, however, and prices eased after the early demand had bcen supnlied. with some Southern selling as well as realizing in evidence, while there may have beensa.little further sellinz on di: appointment ‘over the failure of efforts to settle the New Bedford mill strike. December eased off to 19.18, or within a point of vesterday's closing quotation, but the volume of the business tapered | off and the market showed a falrly steady tone at the end of the first half hout. -Selling became a little more active later in the morning, private reports showing 4 -reduction in crop prospects for the month, and congiderable dif- ference of opinjon as to the actual yield falled to inspirz more active buyingz.| D-cember eascd off to 19.04 and March | 1o 18.83, making net declines of 13 to 12 poinis. and the market at midday vas within 2 or 3 peinis of thes» fig- ures. Three of “the ;ate crop re- ports wore issued durlng the morning, with condition figures ranging from 543 ta 57, and indlceted cron figures | from 13,595,000 to 14,554 000 bales.

NEW YORK, October 2.—Rejection |by the workers of the compromise agreement which would have ended the long continued strike at the New Bedford textile mills, announced today, probably will prevent the American cotton manufacturers from making full 2iuse of their present advantage over | their English competitors. The work- ers refused to accept a wags reduction of 5 per cent from the level in effect when the strike started 25 weeks ago. | The most strenuous measures are being taken by the Master Cotton §pin- ners’ Federation in England to induce their members to curtail production in the American section of the yarn-spin- ning trade. It is proposed that they accomplish this by closing their mills for periods equivalent to two working weeks before October 31. The diffi- culty encountered in reaching an agree- ment to such a curtailment lies in the fact that soms mills are doing well, while others are complaining that un- restricted production is causing them heavy losses. General Restriction Doubtful. It is doubtful if a general restriction will result. The bstter run and better equipped mills of the Manchester, Eng- Jand, district are not complaining loud- 1y of conditions. The district undoubt- edly is overmilled, but experts declare that the real difficulty of many Man- chester plants lies in curtailment of production instead of development of additional markets. Cost of production has not been re- duced, despite low wages and the lop- ping off of extra emploves. The morale of the workers in the less successful mills, according to reliable British sources of information, is not good. These experts say it cannot be good when the workers are never sure from one day to the next when they will be laid off or have their wages subject- ed to another cut. Moreover. the lack of worker efficiency has not been made up for by introduction of new and im- proved machinery. Some lines of the English cotton in- dustry, however, are doing well and not a few of the individual mills are paying regular and fairly high divi- dends. U. S. Condition Similar. Much the same conditions are no- ticeable in this country. But the Amer- fcan mills at the moment undoubtdly have an advantage in world markets, although their wage scales are higher than those across the Atlantic. This is specially true of the Southern mills, where the morale among the workers 1s high and employment far more steady than in New England. (Quotations furnished by W. B. Hibbs & Co.)

Increased receipts of tomatoes and spinach from ncarby Maryland and | Virginia added to the attractiveness of the vegctable market this morning, prices of both vegetables decreasing. | Choice tomatoes sold around §1.50 for | two-peck baskots, small and inferior steek bringing 75 cents. It is not anticipated that there will be any great increase in tomato sup: plies the remainder of the scason, how- ever, and prices probably will go no lower. Growers have found it necessary to gather many of the green tomatoes for ripening under giass or indoors. many of the smaller of the green stock already being offered for pickling. Local dealers hear that most of the tomato canneries in the nearby States have closed their doors after a decided- ly unsuccessful season. It is said that in rome instances growers bootlegged their light crops at prices far in ad- vance of contract priees, resulting in losses to canners. Spinach and Bean Prices. Spinach, practically off the market part of the season. sold at $2 and $2.50 @ bushel basket this morning, and it was in great demand Kale. much more plentiful and not in such great de- mand, was quoted at $1 and $1.25 a bushel. String and stringlers beans. slightly more plentiful, were offered as low as $2.50 a bushel. Lima beans continue scarce and high, There are some coming from nearby. while other supplies are coming from | New York and Pennsylvania. Dealers i this morning quoted shelled stock at 65 and 70 cents a quart, pod stock bring- ing as much as $4. Peppers continue plentiful and cheap. selling at $1 a bushel. Sugar corn from $1.50 to $2.25 in five-dozen lots. Beets were quoted at 6, carrots at 4 and radishes at 2 cents a bunch. Leeks were in _demand at 50 cents a dozen. and dealers sav the demand would be much greater if consumers fully realized their food value and understood the various ways of preparing them. ¥ Dill, another vegetable about which many consumers know little, was of- feved at 50 cents a dozen. In addition for use in the preparation of pickers, it is stated, it is used in the prepara- tion of certain pastries and for season- ing of meats and fish. ‘Western growers have been supplying juantities of cantaloupes, honeydews and honey balls to local dealers the last few days. Dealers report the three fruits are of splendid quality, the canta- loupes being cheapest because of the light demand. Watermelons are prac- tically off the market. Numerous other fruits, especially grapes and apples, were very plentiful this morning. An easing of butter prices was reported, the drop being about 1 cent, and it is believed that egg prices soon will be lowered. It is reported that conditions of the storage egg market in the West is suggestive of cheaper prices. Prices of most other commodities this morning were substantially the same as prices quoted yesterday. Today's Wholesale Prices.
