•peel*] Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK. September B.—Opening '
strong as a result of the ability of lead-;
lng shares to push through their highs !
6t July in Saturdays session, the Curb
Exchange today steadily advanced.
• Trading was more active than it has
been at any time since July 15 last.
' ? Public utilities gave the shorts some
,Uncomfortable moments as they led the
. upswing. Electric Bond & Share rose
more than a point, and was followed by
a wide list of power and light issues.
: Including Consolidated Oas of Baltimore,
which rushed to a new peak for the
year. Cities Service tfas firm, while the
motor shares turned active.
The new Diamond Match issues,
which resulted from recapitalization
plans providing for. a 9-for-l split-up
of outstanding common shares, proved
the individual feature of forenoon trad
ing. Each present common share re
ceives four new no par common and five
shares of 6 per cent cumulative partici
pating preferred of $25 par. The new
common opened at 27% and the pref
erred at 24* i.
Other new issues admitted to curb
trading today included American Pro
ducts Co. and Illinois Oil Co.
Ford Motor of Canada “A." in point
of appreciation, and Ford Motors Ltd.,
in point of volume, led the motor list.
The latter s English plants are being
equipped to turn out more motors than
the entire present output of that coun
try. so a price war there seems in
evitable. Earnings of Ford, Ltd., Justify
* a higher dividend rate, some traders
feel.
The betterment in demand for the
Ford shares attracted attention to the
motor list and benefitted Cord, Isotta
Fraschini and Durant. American Austin
for a time met liquidation of the same
character that caused its decline
Saturday.
Natural Gas shares became promt-'
' Bent early on reports of new wells or
expansions. Duquesne Gas, for in
stance, brought in a major new well,
bringing its total to 158. Memphis
Natural Gas added extensions to some
of its compressor stations and similar
developments were announced by sev
eral other concerns.
Mead-Johnson responded to its extra
dividend declaration of 50 cents, which
compares with an extra of 25 cents
three months ago. Novadel-Agene like
wise responded to an increase in the
dividend rate from $2 to $3 a year and
the declaration of an extra fit 25 cents.
Prudential Investors common respond
ed to an exchange offer whereby four
and one-half common shares may be
exchanged for one share of preferred,
the holders thereby receiving sl.33V!i
for each common share so exchanged.
Three of the higher-priced indus
trials stood out strong and active. Great
Atlantic A Pacific Tea was whirled on
reports that it plans taking over the
freezing food process of General Foods
Corporation. A. O. Smith Corporation
rose abbut 5 points and Deere & Co.
Was up more than half that amount as
shorts tried to cover.

GRAIN TRADE TURNS
TO BULLISH VIEW
Short Sellers P-i Come Buyers
as Demand Develops in
Foreign Market.
Special Dispatch to The Star.
CHICAGO. September B.—Grain
traders virtually overnight experienced
i one of the most unexpected changes
j from depression to conservative bullish
! ness ever known when the wheat traders
woke up to the fact that Liverpool had
failed to follow the downward course in
Chicago on Friday at the end of a four
day break in wheat. It caused traders
all over the country to revise their ideas,
as they were confronted with factors
most important to producers, consumers,
railroads and business interests.
A supply and demand situation now
stands out in the way that was not
expected. It changed short sellers into
buyers, who covered their commitments
and took the constructive side of the
market. This position, it is said, should
it continue for a few days, is likely to
bring about considerably higher prices.
Extent of Advance.
In three days wheat has advanced
around 5 to 6 cents. A revolution in
Argentina, with the reports that the
grain exchanges there had been closed,
gave fresh impetus to the changed situ
ation in the United States. This re
versal is expected to be followed soon
by a movement of leading interests on
the Chicago Board of Trade to remove
all restrictions on trading as far as is
possible. This may result in changes
by the Grain Futures Administration
that will modify or eventually remove
the rules on reporting of trades with
virtual policing of operations by largest
operators and other features that, it
was said, have hampered speculative
operations
Instead of having about 26 different
grades and varieties of wheat deliver
able on future contracts here, it is said
that the rules will eventually be
changed, so that a buyer who wants
hard Winter or red Winter or Spring
wheat can get a.delivery of it. Re
moval or a change in the system of de
liveries of grain in cars on track at the
end of the month is cither to be done
away with or restricted. The original
purpose of the rule was to help out the
country shipper and not permit private
elevator operators to-take grain out of
their houses on the last few days of
the month and deliver it on track and
at the same time control its destina
tion.
Conferences have been held with
Board of Trade officials and Secretary
of Agriculture Hyde and others who be
lieve that the interests of all can be
improved and that the grain trade can
be brought back to the position it oc
cupied for years among the general
public as the leading speculative com
modity. The situation at present is
more favorable for a revival than in
any other year because of the close' ad
justment of supplies to requirements,
Feeding of Wheat.
Feeding of wheat is attracting more
attention in all parts of the country,
and whenever wheat is available in
quantities the feeding demand is said
to be increasing. Chicago wheat han
dlers are getting inquiries for feeding
wheat from all over the South and
East. Kansas City reports shipping
more wheat for feed than corn and that
demand for wheat is exceeding that of
corn, as prices of wheat there are 20
cents lower than of corn and wheat is
30 cents cheaper than barley. Through
out the Eastern States and all over the
country wheat is cheaper than corn.
Speculative trading in wheat at Chi
cago for the eight months this year, as
given by the Grain Fitture Administra
tion, aggregated 9.163,515,000 bushels,
compared with 10,183,385,000 last year.
Trading was heaviest in the first few
months, though exceeded in that period

’ CHEMICALS ARE USED
TO PRESERVE LUMBER
By the Associated Press.
Elimination of approximately one
half of the annual loss of millions of
dollars caused by insects and decay of
wood used in home building and other
types cf construction is believed pos
sible by the Commerce Department
through the use of chemically preserved
lumber. , .
Insect attack and decay are held by
the Commerce Department to be the
two main causes of wood waste that is
preventable by preservative treatment
of lumber.
■«his information was announced by
the National Committee on Wood Utili
zation of the Commerce Department,
which at present is co-operating with
the Ohio Retail Lumber Dealers’ Asso
ciation and other lumber Interests ii\
acquainting the public with the advan
tages of chemically treated lumber.
Studies of losses due to insects and
decay show conclusively, the department
said, that it is economically possible to
avoid about 50 per cent of the annual
loss. While preservative treatment of
wood cannot be recommended for all
purposes, it was added, it is desirable
for many and will prevent to a great
extent the losses due to these insects
and decay,

GRAIN MARKET.
CHICAGO. September 8 (#V—Scat
tered selling by commission houses and
Chicago traders eased the wheat mar
ket down today to below Saturday’s
close after a firm start. Considerable
selling was by traders who chcse to
collect profits. Trade was not large
and the market was easily influenced
and nervous. The wheat visible sup
ply increased 3.583.000 bushels for the
week and is now 191.0tL000 bushels as
compared with 184,408b00 bushels a
year ago. Liverpool finished stronger,
but this had only a transient effect on
values here. The Grain Exchange at
Buenos Aires was closed because of a
holiday in Argentina.
Com appeared overbought after a
firm start-induced by a sensational crop
report by a Chicago crop expert which
predicted a total 1930 yield of only
1,750,000.000 bushels afld the upturn
was short-lived. Prices eased back to
below Saturday s finish. Wheat closed
approximately 1 cent off and corn
showed a loss of around Va cent a
bushel.
Wheat closed nervous and unsettled,
lVa-l'2 cents net lower than Satur
day's finish. Corn closed %-l% cents
down, oats cent off and provi
sions 10-23 cents lower.

NEW YORK COTTON ‘
NEW YORK, Sspterifcer 8 (Special).
—Cotton prices declined about half a
ceflt today as a result of an extremely
small change in the Government Sepr
tember crop estimate when a substantial
reduction was generally expected.
Weight of contracts carried December
to 10.90, or within a point of previous
low levels of the season, while July
made a new low record of 11.51 before
scale buying orders for the trade de
veloped resistance. A recovery of 10

Rail Stocks

BY GEORGE T. HUGHES.
(This is the thirty-ninth of a sseies of
brief analyses by Mr. Hughes cm mlroad
securities. The Intent Is not to recom
mend the purchase or sale of any par
ticular stock, but to give the investor
such information as may enable him In- •
telllgently to chart his own course.; j
Union Pacific.
Sometimes known as a railway
vestment trust because of its large hold
ings in the stock of other carriers.
Union Pacific commands an Investment
rating for all of its securities, bonds,
preferred stock and common stock. Ac
cording to the balance sheet as of De
cember 31 last security holdings hacfjß
book value of over $200,000,000, or over
S9O a share, on Union Pacific common.
The road owns approximately- one
third of the capital stock of Illinois
Central, almost $25,000,000 capital stock
of New York Central, over $6,000,000 in
Baltimore & Ohio common and over
$1,800,000 in Baltimore & Ohio prefer
red, over $4,400,000 ip Chicago &
Northwestern common and $1,845,000 of
St. Paul preferred, besides a large block
of St. Paul adjustment 5 per cent bonds
'and of the St. Paul mortgage ss.
It has often been rumored in the
market that the Union Pacific would
distribute to its share holders these
holdings in stocks of other railroads,
but there has never been any official
countenance given to this idea, nor is
there any.good reason to believe such
a plan lifts ever been seriously con
sidered by the directors. The income
from these Investments is estimated as
$4.86 a share on Union Pacific common,
or almost one-half the present $lO an
nual dividend.
.Last year earnings from all sources
were equivalent to $20.37 a share. This
year at the present rate net should run
'around sl7 a share, more or less de
pending on traffic conditions, which
cannot be accurately forecast now. In
any event the $lO dividend is entirely
secure, a fact which is reflected in the
market price of above S2OO a share,
making the investment return consider
ably less than 5 per cent.
Union Pacific has a preferred Issue
which meets the investment require
ments of the most conservative. It has
sold this year at a price to yield only
4.60 per cent, which is lower than the
return to be had on a good many high
grade bonds. Union Pacific’s bonds
themselves are investments of the high
est type.

Putting the Shaft
Before the Elevator
I *
WITHIN a round elevator shaft, a
square elevator moves sedately
up and down in the famous old
building of Cooper Union, engineering
and art school of New York city. In
1859 Peter Cooper, inventor and philan
thropist, built this structure—and years
before the invention of the elevator, he %
foresaw it coming and left a shaft for it
. . . round, for he believed the yet-to-be
born elevator would require a round *
shaft.
Peter Cooper would find many a man
after his own heart in Washington to
day—men who are building for the fu
ture, in finance as well as in engineering
. . . men who are choosing firm foun
dations for future incomes, building
steadily, with the aid of sound, non
fluctuating securities—securities such as
the 6% First Mortgage Notes sold
through the Swartzell, Rheem & Hensev
Company.
For more than 61 years these Notes have
built for thousands of investors a stead
ily growing fund for future independ
ence . . . and in that time no investor
has ever suffered a penny’s loss. They
can do the same for you. v
