In Brisk Trading
■y the Associated Press
NEW YORK, Sept. 7.—The
stock market was Rightly higher
on balance today in the early
afternoon with the aircrafts and
steels well out in front and the
railroads lagging.
Gains extended to between 1
f and 2 points while losses seldom
got as far as a point.
Trading was brisk.
International telephone opened
late on a block of 60,000
shares up 1% at 24 and then
lost some of its gain, and Ameri
can Cable & Radio opened late
on a block of 30,000 shares up
IVa at 7% and then advanced
a little more. Both stocks were
mentioned favorably by'a radio
television commentator, Wall
Street brokers said.
Higher with the steels and air
crafts were most motors, rub
bers, coppers, distillers and elec
trical equipments. In the de
pressed class were the railroads,
oils and chemicals.
Thp bond market wasjsteady.
Government issues in the over
the-counter market were narrow.

Chicago Grain
CHICAGO, Sept. 7 1/P). —Rye hounded
; up several cents, setting new seasonal
highs, and most »f the rest of the grain
: market firmed on the Board ol Trade
: today.
\ A couple of exceptions to the upward
trend were September soybeans, down a
i few cents ors favorable crop growing
weather In the Midwest, and September
corn. The latter contract held close to
Us previous close.
March, May and July wheat also made
seasonal highs. Rains In part of Canada
over the week end created demand for
both wheat and rve as it was felt sunny
weather was needed to check the spread
of rust.

j
| Buying in wheat and rye again was
j based to a very large extent on dc
-1 Terioratlng prospects for these crops In
i Canada, as well as in the unharvested
I portion of the American Northwest.
The Searle Grain Co. of Canada esti
mated wheat production in the three
j prairie provinces, based on conditions as
of August 28. at only 367 million bushels.
This compared with, the last govern
ment estimate of 487 million bushels.
; which was down from last year. The
! crop has not Improved since August 28.
Great Britain bought a few parcels of
corn and some low-grade spring wheat
over the Labor Day holiday, /.n export
house was an active buyer of wheat
1 futures In early dealings. Norway took
some soft wheat. . -
Wonderful weather In the Midwest
for maturing soybeans over the Labor
Day noliday caused the heavy early sell
ing in September beans.

Steel Output Rate
Climbs, Giving New
Hope to Producers
I
By th« Associated Press
CLEVELAND, Sept. 7.—The
steel ingot production rate
jumped last week for the first
time in a month, Steel magazine
reports.
Noting gains in ordering in,
various segments of the steel
market, the metalworking weekly
said optimism was growing
among steel sellers.
After a Labor Day lull pro
duction should resume in earnest
next week. Steel said.
In the week ended September
5 the national steel ingot pro
ductiion rate gained two pointy
and registered 64.5 per cent of
rated capacity.
Most steel producers felt no
compulsion to operate on Labor
Day, the magazine said, and
some firms are stretching the
Labor Day week end several
extra days, reflecting the rela
tively slow demand for steel.
A slight increase in demand
was seen by the magazine for
cold-rolled sheets and strip, elec
j. trical sheets and coils and enam
eling iron sheets.
Other gains were reported for
merchant steel ba,rs and plate.
The weekly's price composite
on finished steel has held steady
at $117.77 a net ton.
