12 & PUMPKIN SUPPLIES ARRIVE AT MARKET Large Shipment Reaches Dis- trict From Eastern Shore of Maryland. “Bhow pumpkins, in demand for the dpproaching Halloween -celebration, have meached the local market from the tern Shore of Maryland and Vir- ia, having been trucked-in by wayf Clairborne and Annapolis, and they ttracted much attention in Center arket this morning. ! “They probably are the largest pump- Kins ever brought to this market,” mmented a dealer, “the largest of em weighing around 90 pounds and selling at $5.” % It is probable that many of the prize pkins displayed at the Frederick, Md., fair, also will reach the local mar- ket in time for the Halloween trade. Farmers in nearby and distant parts of Maryland and Virginia also had some lazge pumpkins on the farmers' line this morning. They sold the largest of their supplies around 50 cents. Berries on Market. Small quantities of strawberries and raspberries were among the offerings of t dealers this morning, the berries having come from nearby. They were received in such small quantities, how- ever, that wholesale prices were not quoted. Strawberries retailed at 75 cents and raspberries at $1 a quart. Due to light demands for grapes, the demands this season being much lighter than during the past few years, dealers today had immense quantities of the fruit on their hands. Best quality Con- cords were slightly higher, however, 12- quart baskets selling at 60 cents, 5 cents higher than the past few days. Peaches are almost off the market, light receipts of fruit not in attractive condition finding practically no sale. Apples continue plentiful and dealers , also had large quantities of honey- dews to offer the retail trade. Fresh prunes continue plentifut and plentiful supplies of several varieties of pears also were on hand to offer the retail trade. Commission merchants and dealers along the country line had immense quartities of tomatoes and other vege- tables from nearby. The tomatoes were not much in demand, dealers reportea, although prices were cheap. California stock was in good demand. Lima beans continue plentiful at $3.50 a bushel or 50 cents a quart for shelled stock, the supplies continuing later this season than usual. Butter beans sold at $2.50 a bushel. String- less beans, received from Suffolk, Va., were offered at $2.25 and $2.75 a bushel basket. Spinach and kale were the greens offered retailers: this morning. The former brought $1 and $1.25 a bushel, while the latter was to be had arouza 75 cents. Carrots and beets were sold around $4 per 100 bunches. Cabbage continues cheap, selling at $1.50 ana $2 _for containers of 90 and 100 pounds. Business today was reported only fairly brisk. Strictly fresh eggs con- tinued in demand, consumers displaying a willingness to pay premium prices for strictly fresh hennery stock. Eggs from the West continued to be offered in large quantities and, it is stated, it probably is due to such eggs being offered here that prices of nearby eggs are no higher than they are.

NEW YORK, October 16 (#).—Cotton opened steady today at an advance of 4 to 8 points, with December contracts selling up to 18.27 and March to 18.64 on covering and trade-buying, influ- enced by relatively steady Liverpool cables and unfavorable features in the ‘weekly weather report. This advance brought in a little more Southern sell- ing, or realizing, which eased prices off 3 or 4 points from the best, but the market was comparatively quiet and fairly steady at the end of the first half hour. Liverpool cables reported covering and continental buying, with less hedg- ing in that market, but said that cotton cloth sales were disappointing, with buyers cautious. .

By the remedy of determining the most efficient and profitable mail routes, President Hoover and his ad- ministration contemplate the bringing of improved eccnomic health to Amer- ica's commercial aviation and merchant arine. Postmaster General Brown, to whom with the heads of the Commerce, War and Navy Departments the Chief Ex- ecutive has intrusted this task, said today that the survey of the existing air and transoceanic mail routes by the Government not only will hasten the end of the present governmental aid in the form of postal payments to these two forms of transportation, but will result in a quicker achievement of the og:ctbl:e of both"lvhuunmmd Ihlp; pi wmlnfi ‘self-sustaining.” Wha the survey will produce the Postmaster General is unable to predict, but he be- lieved a realignment of existing mail routes for both the air and sea trans- portation services might prove advisable and feasible, ‘The study of the mail routes has more significance, in the opinion of the Post- master General, than the mere question of an improved postal rate structure ‘which would place the payments by the Government for those services on a sounder and do away with the rl’!lellt “subsidies.” Mr. wn sald hat for aviation a survey of the ex- istin have the possibility ition need to become more air-minded in the point of greater travel by passengers and ship- ment of express in aircraft,” Mr. Brown said, citing that in the East there is little passenger and express traffic by lcl;fiane in comparison to the Pacific In a possible realignment of air-mail routes he pointed out that operators of existing shorter rputes claim their ex- pense of operation, while their income . 18 as large as the longer routes. This means, the Postmaster General said, that these shorter routes may have to be combined with other lines or extended into more profitable ress, mail and passenger territory. the merchant marine the Post- master General holds the view that the present trade routes should be carefully scrutinized for the possibility of “weed- the unprofitable ones. The present trade-route system:, mapped out largely by the Shipping Board, presents & number of routes not valuable for ocean mall service, in the opinion of Mr. Brown. Many of the routes, de- signed for ocean mail contracts, were allocated to aild in the selling of the board’s vessels, he said, but their utility l;x the carrying of mail has not been OV ‘The determination of the formulae to measure the relative value of air and oceanic mail routes is difficult, the Post- master General said. For neither serv- ice has the Post Office Department yet completed the formulation of the route “yardstick.” But the operators of the air mail at present are working out a plan for a rate structure for their serv- ice which they expect to submit to Mr. Brown in the next week or 10 days. In connection with the ocean mail con- tracts and rates it is expected that the administration will ask Congress at its forthcoming regular session to clarify the provisions of the Jones-White act of 1928, dealing with the carrying of postal matter by American ships. Business indicators, compiled by the Census Bureau, reflect America’s pros- us conditions and depict a level for dustry in 1929 greater than in any of the previous five years. Compared with the monthly average for each of the five years from 1923 to 1928, the bureau's statistics show the z:’!unt 1929 indicators for all forms of dustrial production, including manu- facturing pig iron, steel, automobiles, cement and cotton and wool consump- tion, substantially higher than in the other yea: raw materials only crude petroleum and r are higher, while a decrease in the index for crops is offset by an increase in prices, which sets the agricultural industry in as good, if mot slightly better, position than in any of the previous years. A rise in electric power over the other five years is recorded, but build- ing construction does not occupy such a good level as previously. While retail food prices are given a higher indicator in 1929, whol commodity prices and the cost of living (including food) are fixed at lower levels than in some of the other years. However, several indicators, motably the withdrawal. of bagk checks and industrial and railroad stock prices, soared to unusually high levels far above those of the preceding periods. ‘The saving to American industry in Sdoption of SHmPING methods of pro- ) me of pro- Gchion 1 expected by Commerce ‘De- partment officials to run into a billion or_more dollars at least annually.

NEW YORK, October 16—Utilities led the decline in curb trading today, which slackened the market's pace as prices eased. The oils remained com- paratively strong. Some of the indus- trials improved, but motors and invest- ment trusts weakened. Approval of the merger of Electric Bondp& Share with Electric Investors by stockholders of the former company failed to stem the decline in either of these stocks. Some of the higher-priced utilities lost considerable ground in the first two hours of trading. This was true of Com- monwealth Edison, American Light & ‘Traction, American Foreign Power war- rants and Standard Power & Light. Rubbers and Motors, Firestone Tire & Rubber was very active and reactionary in the forenoon, perhaps forecasting the $60,000,000 of new 6 per cent preferred stock an- nounced shortly after midday. The common will be split five for one and each new preferred share will carry a common purchase warrant entitling the holder to buy one new common share at $55 a share. Proceeds of the new issue will be used to retire existing pre- ferred shares and finance the expan- sion of a chain of retail service stations. Ford Motor of Canada A shares, which spurted in the last few minutes of the previous session, opened un- changed today, but lost nearly 3 points by midday. Durant Motors was lower while Ford Motors, Limited, Stutz and Ford of France moved within a narrow range. Cosden was the leader in the advance of miscellaneous oils as it rapidly climbed to a record high price. Cities Service common, in point of activity, headed the group, but its progress was slower than in previous sessions. Stand- ard Oll of Indiana again drew brisk bids. Standard Oil of Kentucky, after reacting, showed signs of support. Roan Antelope was under further pressure follow] a London cable in- dicating that a recent strike was non- productive. Noranda Mines improved, following Montreal dispatches stating the directors expected declare a Other Losses. Tubize Silk early reached a record low level, breaking through the 300 Deere, Great Atlantic and Pa- cific and some of the other high-p: industrials were heavy. The pool Fox Theaters A apparently started liquidation, as the stock at times was more than 1, points below its opening quotations. Driver-Harris, which was traded in on the curb for the first time, opened at 17. Lehman Corporation hit a new low for the present movement at 110, its lowest mark since admission to the curb. TRese shares were offered at 103, but sold as high as 136 shortly after flotation. “How you going, my pretty maid?” OGTOBER 16, 1929, TOBACCO MARKETING SITUATION IMPROVES Special Dispatch to Tae Star, DANVILLE, Va. October 16—The tobacco marketing situation in the Old ‘Tobacco Belt improved, with price levels showing a gradual upward tendency. The 15-cent-a-pound av- ¥rage maintained since the season gan has mounted to 17 cents, with some of the better of leaf, notably cigar wrappers, marketing at 60 cenis a pound. Certain cigarette grades are bringing 50 cents. The improvement in prices has caused more rapid sellicg and nearly unds of leaf were here of leaf are still selling unusually low, chiefly because of the crop in Eastern Carolina, whicn was marketed before the Old Belt crop. The large compenies supplied their needs in commoner types from that crop and for this reason there is no demard for them on this market. Steel Scrap Price Cut. NEW YORK, October 16 (#)—Sales of 15,000 tons of heavy melting steel scrap to independent steel mills in the Chicago district has been reported at $14.75 a ton, or 25 cents a ton under the last previously reported sale. The range is now from $14.25 to $14.75, com- pared with $14.50 to $15 previously. ki i SHORT-TERM SECURITIES. (Reported by J. & W. Seligman & Co) Allis-Chalmers Co. Bs 1937 : Aluminum Co. of Amer.

CHICAGO, October 16 (#).—Wheat prices took an early downward swing today, largely as a result of an official summary showing favorable conditions for domestic Winter wheat. Besides, Liverpool wheat quotations were lower, and lack of storage space for new re- ceipts at Liverpool was said to be caus- ing pressure to sell. Opening, % to 12 down, Chicago wheat later showed a material further drop, Corn and oats also were easier, with corn starting un- changed to % off, and subsequently de- clining all around. Provisions were General improvement of crop condi- tions in the main domestic Winter wheat belt was indicated today in_the Government weekly “ report. ‘This helped promote an increased selling movement in the wheat future delivery market here. Special notice was taken that sections which previously had been dry were stated to have recelved ample moisture. Unlooked for weakness of the Liverpool wheat market tended fur- ther to accelérate price downturns in Chicago, as did execution of stop-loss orders. Exporters meanwhile noted a some- what better inquiry today for wheat, but foreign demand taken as a whole appeared to be still of a limited sort. Some business in United States wheat affoat was said to have been done at nearer a replacement basis. Canadian exporters were also represented as hav- ing made fair sales of low-grade wheat to Europe, and more or less Pacific Coast wheat also was reported disposed of to the Orient. Stock Rights Offered. NEW YORK, October 16 (#)—Di- rectors of the Grigsby-Grunow Co. of Chicago, radio receiving set manufac- turers, have offered to stockholders of record November 1, rights to subscribe to one additional share at $40 a share for each seven held. The offering is expected to give the company about $10,000,000 additional capital. At the current market price of about $62 a share, the rights are worth $2.75 each.
