Market 'Rea:hes Record High Mark—Wheat Also Gains. CHICAGO, October 6 (#).—Much of | today’s buying of wheat here was on the part of traders who have been con- spicuous of late on the selling side of the market. Aside from assertions widely circulated that on the basis of growers’ costs, domestic wheat, South- west and Northwest, is netting below 1893 values, friends of higher prices were urging today that threshing re- turns in Montana and North Dakota ! have been less than was estimated, and | that Winnipeg, plus the carrying charge | to December, is higher than wheat in | the United States. March and May corn today reached new high record prices for the ason, but the corn market, as a whole, showed at times a tendency to subside. In some quarters it was contended that buying had been overdone, and that recent sharp gains in price had discounted many bullish features. 1In this connection it was pointed out that five States east of Chicago have nearly 85,000,000 bushels more corn this season than a year ago.

BY WILLIAM F. HEFFERNAN. Special Dispatch to The Star. NEW YORK, October 6.—Sharp up- ward movements in specialty favorites were again recorded at the close of the week on the Curb Exchange. Trading continued at an active pace, with no apparent weakness in any quarter. One of the outstanding features was Columbia Graphophone, which_ opened | on a block of 7,200 shares at 1047, & new high record, and subsequently crossed 108, as compared with the pre- vious final of 1017,. The strength was based on merger rumors and the pros pect of early listing on the Stock E: change. Balaban & Katz, which already fig- ures prominently in the theatrical mer- ger talk, went to a new high above 101. Others that reached their best included A. G.

COTTON CLOSES S STEADY. Market Drops 4 to 12 Points on Selling Movement. NEW YORK, October 6 (#).—The cot- ton market opened steady at an ad- vance of 1 point to a decline of 2 points and eased off a few points dur- ing the early trading under Southern selling and liquidation, which may have been influenced by relatively easy Liver- pool cables and reports of fairly good weather in the South. There was further covering and trade buying at the decline, which extended to 18.75 for December and 18.56 for March, or about 4 to 7 points net lower, but the mar- ket later was quiet within a point or two of the lowest. Private cables said there had been hedge selling and liquidation in Liver- pool with offerings there absorbed by trade calling on the decline. The amount of cotton on shipboard await- ing clearance at the end of the week was estimated at 97,000 bales, against 137,000 last year. Futures closed steady, 4 to 12 poin lower.

TANNERS OF SHEEPSKIN HAVE VARIED BUSINESS| Special Dispatch to The Star. | NEW YORK, October 6.—Tanners of sheepskins—and the United States tans a full quarter of the world's supply— have climbed out of the slough of de- pression on the backs of the shep them- | selves. They tan no more skins than they formerly did, but, whereas the use | f sheepskins formerly was limited, they verting quantities of skins into the sec- ondary Industries, such as gloves, gar- ments, fancy goods and handbags and | millinery. | Sheepskins, according to Willard Hel- are play- ing an increasing part in the clothing of Americans. This country will con- |sume this year approximately 40,000 - 000 skins. No small quantity find their way into the manufacture of the articles mentioned above and into furs, shoe linings and other lines of consumption. Only about 15,000,000 of these skins come from domestic herds. The others | are imported, although tanned in this | country. Sheepskins formerly went largely ln'm shoes, where at best they are of sec- ondary value. Now they go into articles where their qualities make them in- dispensable. The numl of sheepskins going into shoes droppe to about 14, 000,000 skins in 1926. The total shewed |an increase in 1927 and 1928. But |glove leather, after dropping from | 9,000,000 skins in 1927 to 7,000,000 lhz‘ following year, has shown an increase | In each successive year. Use of sheep- skin for fancy leathers is about 27 per cent higher this year than last. ‘The popularity of these skins for gar- | ments and gloves is due llnqu‘%llonnbly to improvement in the technical proc- esses of tanning. The chrome method of tanning has given America a pre- eminence which has been maintained | since 1890.
