HADING CEOTRED
' IN FEW ISSUES HERE
Cramp Touched New High
Mark Outlook for Com
pany Is Bright
Attention In the local market today was
centred In a few Issues whlcji have been
active In the last few weeks, and of these
Cambria Steel was the feature, as far as
trsdlng was concerned, transactions In
thnt Issue being heavy, although the
movement of the price was within a nar
row range.
Another new high record was chalked
up by Cramp Shipbuilding before the day
was very old, showing a gain of 1H be
for" midday, and then adding another
half point in the course ot the afternoon,
being 2 points above the final of yes
terda) Asldo from the fact that it is
ssld that the company Is doing the larg
citt business In Its history, there was no
news forthcoming on the stock during
the day It was pointed out that earn
ings for the next II months will run Into
new high territory, and that when en
largements are completed It will be nblo
to handle a larger amount of business.
Before the war began the company's
competitors filled up their works, whllo
Cramps held off, and now the company
Is in a very good position to take care of
any business that It might secure. It
Is expected that It will figure very largely
in any program of the Government for
enlarging the navy, and It Is already
building a half dozen torpedoboat de
stroyers. There Is also some likelihood
that It will be called upon to supply the
hulls for the new submarines to bo 'oullt.
nuytng of this stock, as on recent up
swings, was mostly for New Tork Inter
ests, while local people also picked up
some. Before 2 o'clock nearly 1400 shares
had changed hands.
In the early hours there had been eome
little Irregularity In prices, but as the
day advanced, this gave Way to strength
all around. Ip the arbitrage group Col
orado Fuel and Iron became quite prom
inent, In fact being the strongest thing In
the market, gaining 6 points In the early
part of the afternoon. Baldwin, too, was
quite strong. In the bond division there
was very little doing. Stocks dropped off
from the high, but tho closing found
them above yesterday's final.
Tho money market here Is reported as
very quiet. Thero is very little demand
for funds and rates are continuing about
the same. Bankers say that If the big
Allied loan Is arranged It should help
conditions here very much, in that It
would take a considerable amount of the
surplus funds of the local Institutions, as
the banks here would probably be offered
some of tho loan. Nothing definite has
been heard by tho bankers In this city
with regard to the loan.

GRAINS IRREGULAR
IN FINAL DEALINGS
Favorable Weather Reports
Brought About Scattered
Selling
CHICAGO, Sept IT Cash premiums ad
vanced overnight which gave additional
strength to the grain market at the
opening today. A general advance of
from to 2 cents took placo In wheat.
Possibilities of the Allies securing an
enormous loan to buy supplies In this
country has brought forth anticipation of
belter prices In the near future. In fact,
tho bulls feel so confident of a rise that
they predict December wheat will bring
$1 before closing on Saturday.
Whin the weather reports began to drift
In today It whs discovered that perfect
weather prevailed In tho- greater portion
of the grain belts of the country. This,
combined with reports ot easy conditions
on outside markets, had a tendency vo
overcome tho overnight advanco and
prices again declined. Selling was scat
tered. Tho demand was good.
After tho decline had been under way
for a short while, demand appeared and
thore wcro some recoveries. They wero
not general, however, and the close was
Irregular.
It Is estimated that tho present local
stocks are about sufficient to care for one
week's total exports, and arrivals have
not Increased to any great extent. Short
Interests appear heavily Interested In De
cember and May wheat.
Corn wavered, with prices on par with
yesterday's quotations, whllo oata held
firm Cash houses reported sales of
1,250,000 bushels for seaboard delivery.
The undertone at Liverpool grew firm
upon receipt of American cables and
nonrecetpt of cargoes sufficient to sup
ply millers' demand. The Continental In
quiry Is Increasing.

culty in Obtaining Dye
Cotton yarns continue in fair dAmairD
at low prices. The wool trade Is qul
aa the mills appear to be welt supplied'
for current requirements. Prices In most
cases have been well maintained, and
there Is a feeling that the) market Las
reached the top, and a number ot dealers
do not appear to be Inclined to buy at
the present figures. Many of thetlargest
mills appear to be receiving considerable
new business, and a much better feeling
Is manifest In tho goods market Manu
facturers report that they are still ex
periencing difficulty In obtaining tha
proper dyes, and In several cases It Is
learned that mills aro operating on halt
time and at a loss, owing to their in
ability to have their materials dyed, at
thjgh they have large orders on hand,
according to II. a. Dun & Co. Jobbers in
woolens selling principally to the nearby
manufacturers report an Increased vol
ume of business.
Shirtwaist manufacturers state that fall
business has been quiet, although th "
past week has shown a little more nc- ;
tlvlty, and they anticipate a satisfactory , ,
season's business Commission and whole

crease In rnles, and collections, they 't
state, are satisfactory. Manufacturers of
men's and boys' clothing report business
fair, but state that piece goods aro ad
vancing In prices. Cloak and suit manu

late, but aro fairly active at the present
time and are looking forward to a good
fall trade.
Dealers In electrical goods report consid
erable business In hand In connection with 4n
bulldlrg operation work, and note favor
abto prospects for continuance of the
same, A satisfactory volume of business -Is
also noted in tho sale of household
specialties. Prices are firm and collec
tions fair. Tho stove trade is very well "5
employed, with considerable business In r
connection with supplementary heating
apparatus and some dealings In stnplo
goods, though the unseasonably warm .
weather has retarded trade In that lino. a
Prices are reported steady and collections
fair.
The leather market continues actlva and, m
firm. There is a good demand tor all
grades and only moderate stocks on
hand. Glazed kid dealers report sales
more active and conditions regarding raw
material but slightly relieved. Shoe deal-
era aro receiving fairly gooTl fall orders,
but there is a tendency to buy to meet Im
mediate needs.
Millinery houses are doing a fair busl
nebs, although weather conditions have to
somo extent retnrded sales of fall mer- -
chandlse. Manufacturers and Jobbers of ' -tobacco
and cigars report normal busi
ness, for this time of year, with prospectsj
brightening. Collections continue slow.

tions dull and quiet: no signs of improve-
ment Collections slow. Coffee conditions'
