Cotton was also higher, while wheat, which in? variably goes up on war scares, re? ceded sharply in tho morning trnding, but recovered some of this lost ground late?* in the day In sympathy with strength in corn. Trices moved forward with little hesitation throughout tho stock mar? ket session and at tho close the average quotation of fifty selected is? sues, according to Tho Tribune's com? pilation, was 89.30, compared with 87.96 at tho conclusion of business Satur? day. Tho industrial list, which has felt tho recent Belling more perhaps than the railroad group, was tho quick? est tcfTcspond to the more hopeful out? look in tho Near East. The urgent character of tho buying at tho opening suggested short covering on a sub? stantial scale, and as tho session wore on with few recessions these purchases continued. Trading in bonds was inaugurated in the new Stock Exchange annex and the list showed a better tone than it has for several days past. Investors wer? encouraged to tho extent of moderate purchases.

After opening about half a cent I higher cotton met heavy Southern ! selling, but finally closed 7 to 20 points 'higher. The war scare seemed to have disappeared from the wheat market, at least for the day, and final prices were 1 to lVa cents lower.

This rumor has been ijoing the rounds of the finan? cial district for several days and is believed to have bean partly respon? sible for the weakness of the common stock. Perhaps a more important rea? son, however, was the abandonment of ' tho three-company merger, which came at a time when tho general market was extremely sensitive to selling pressure/ After Belling down to 5376 Republic rallied to 67. In this respect it par- : ticipatod in tho recovery in price? that i prevailed throughout tho session. The Unfilled Tonnage Outlook Wall Street's mental reaction to the coaling statement of unfilled orders by the Steel Corporation will bo interest? ing to observe. Tho open season for predictions is at hand and every one seems to agree that the corporation will report an increase, but just how large is an open question. All things considered, a substantial increase at this time need not be accepted as a bullish argument, for the business of a steel company is to manjfacture steel, not to pilo up unfilled orders. In the present instance there is good! reason for an increase in bookings and the absence of any increase in the rate j of production. Between the date when ! higher prices for steel rails were an? nounced and October 1, the date when tho higher scale went into effect, sev? eral of the larger carriers and some of the smaller ones entered orders for 8 substantial aggregato tonnage for 1923 delivery. Thus a part of any in? crease in orders calls for no greater activity in production. There Is still another factor. Rails ordered in the period mentioned will be delivered at ; the old price, and there is no telling! how greatly the cost of production will \ have increased at the time of delivery. Investment Rails and Others Many market observers have held ;hat, regardless of the course of in? dustrial stocks, the more substantial rails should be entitled to better prices. It has been maintained that no matter how viciously the Turk should claw at the throats of every one within reach American business has a habit of moving along at a mini I mum of 75 per cent of normal even ? in sub-normal timc3. The railroads have a habit of carrying the resultant freight. Some of tho aforeraentioaed ! observers thought they detected the I beginning of the much heralded move? ment yesterday. Gains running up to I two points were registered, first in tho investment rails and then in the stock-: which have only remote prospects of being included in the "ex dividend" i list. The coalers were strong. St. I Paul preferred was a feature. Thero was more talk of the <] per cent rate being restored by the Penni ) "-n?a and a now discussion of an ex! ? - --n<--nt 'being made on New York < ? trai t*> : facilitate tho exchange o? Big Foiu ! preferred for Central common on a share-for-sharo basis. The buying of 1 rails was also apparently encouraged , by the official report that en Septem? ber 15 there were fewer bad order cars in the repair yards than at any ' time since the beginning o? the shop ' men's strike or at any time hist year. Lehi;:h Valley was helped by a state i nient to the effect that u:u!irae:to lond , ings last Saturday were only 7,000 tons ; below the record made in 1919 and j I3.CC0 tons more than en the preceding Saturday. Public Service of New Jersey Stockholders of the Public Service Corporation Company of New Jersey ! have received with" the October divi? dend checks an informative folder, ; which, after pointing out that net i earnings ?i ? ail .' ' dividende for j the twelve montli mded August 31, | showed an increa .- ?-. 82,288,408 over i the corresponding period last year, ' : cates that 120,000 kilowatts of addi. '. tional generating capacity are being I provided to* meet tho e:;pectod increase i in demand '{jt electric current. Among ! other extensions and improvements are additions to the generating sub station and distribution Bystems. It is an | nour.ced that the Public Service Pro i duction Company now has outside con tracts for approximately $1,200,000, in ; eluding concrete road construction in : New Jersey, North Carolina and South : Carolina and a sewer system in Jersey I City. Resnmes Lead and Zinc Shipments In view of the improved conditions in ] the lend and zinc markets resumption of shipments by tho Callaban Zinc Lead Company has been ordered, ac | c.rding to a letter issued to stock? holders by John Borg, president. "A factor of considerable importance in future operations of your company," said Mr. Borg, "is the recent reduc? tion in freight rates from Far West? ern points. Freight costs on our zinc output have been reduced from $18.50 to $13.50 a ton, with a corresponding reduction from !??13 to $10 on lead. On I a basis of average monthly shipments of 2,400 tons lead concentrates, the yearly saving will approximate $187, 000, which is equivalent to 38 cents a share on our outstanding capitaliza? tion." Bankers Drift Down Town Judging from the number of A, B. A. badges that were seen in Wall Street j yesterday one was led to suppose that ! most of the visiting banker?, had come ' down town. Of course, tho chief at i traction was the luncheon served in the j new Stock Exchange lunchroom club. j The bankers visited all points cf in ! terest In the new annex, including tho ! bond trading floor, which was officially ! In operation for the first time. The I big annunciator board on tho Wall ! Street side of the exchange spelled out ! the words "Welcome, A. B. A." What's Behind Active Stocks? 1 1 3?Lake Erie & Western* Prior to last April the. Lake Erie & Western Railroad was controlled by the New York Central, but in that month control passed to in? terests also in control of the New York, Chicago & St. Louis and the Toledo, St. Louis & Western. Tho Lake Erie & Western operates 738 miles of road in Ohio, Indiana and Illinois. Normally 34 to 39 per cent of the traffic consists of mine prod? ucts, the rest being well diversified. Road and equipment are carried at $40,716,000. The $11,840,000 com? mon stock is preceded by an equal amount of 0 per cent non-cumula- . tive preferred, which has not re? ceived a dividend since 1908. Prior to that year payments on the pre? ferred were irregular, never total? ing 6 per cent in any year. Thero is a funded debt of $12,784,000. No divi? dends have ever been paid on the common. During the ten-year period 1912-'21 the road has failed to earn enough for interest charges in six. different years, including 1921. ?Gov? ernment compensation and guar? anty, however, tided over the in? come shortage in 1918, 1919 and 1920. Accounts for the current year are included with those of tho New York, Chicago & St. Louis. Net operating income of the two road? for the first eight months of 1922 totaled $4,769,000, compared with $3,198,000 in the same period of 1921. Range of common stock since 1910: High, 89% in Juno, 1822; low, 5 in 1916; yesterday's close, 85%; low of 1922 was 10, in February. Our Weekly Suggestions i At-pror. Price Ttel? Fed.
