NEW YORK, Sept. 25.
Over 690,000 shares of stock changed hands In Wall street during tho brief
two hours of trading today. This was ono of tho largest Saturdays In i ionic
while -nl tne activity was by no means confined to stocks, tho bond market
also developing a surprising amount of life. Now records were established In
numerous Issues, and a feature was tho midden development of Interest In tho
railroad group of securities.
Tho close of tho week found reports coming from almost every section of
steady business improvement, not only In comparison with a year4ngo, but also
with recent months. New orders nro coming in such volume that confidence
In tho future Js rapidly bning restored among oven very conservative business
men. The most conspicuous exception Is tho northwestern section of tho
country, in which trado dullness is attributed to tho continued stagnation of
the lumber business. In steel there Is activity that is probably without parallel.
Today's bank clearings fully bear out tho encouraging returns mentioned.
The gain of upwards 4pf ?! per cent, for tho week is sufficient proof, if any
were needed, after tho Btcady ndvanco shown In this reliable barometer of
trade for weeks. Tho eastern seaboard cities naturally lead on account of
the enormous volume of exports, but even In tho Interior communities sub
stantial improvement in tho business of tho banks is shown.
That tho stock market, as is customary, has been discounting thls-for a long
slime there Is not n. shadow of doubt. Tho question now arises, how much
partner Is the expansion to go? Tho nnswer apparently lies in the duration
hd hostilities In Europe. So long as tho warring Powers need our goods trado
cUMUlu continue iu uuuii, uui mciu is u mini iu mo crcau inai ran oo cxienaea,
, tho danger of some of tho belligerents becoming bankrupt is the cloud, as
Ipif. no larger than tho proverbial "man's hand," which should causo oven the
ftiost enthusiastic of stock market optimists to bo careful how his sails are
trimmed.
There was a further switching of business at tho opening of the stock
market today, from the specialties to tho old-time standard issues. Many of
these stocks approached close to the high range of around April 19, previous
to the Irtisltanla disaster. Baltimore and Ohio mado a now high record for
the year, selling at an advance of a point over yesterday's close. New York
Central also scored a now high mark for tho year, whllo Pennsylvania, Heading,
Union Pacific and Southern Pacific all moved up.
United States Steel common was dealt in on a heavy scale, again touching
ft new top flguro since 1912. American Smelting roso also and fractional
gains were made In Anaconda, Utah Copper and Westlnghouse. Baldwin
Locomotive advanced two points or more.
Tho volume of trading grew as the morning advanced, prices continuing
their upward movement, Pennsylvania Railroad becoming a featuro of tho
market Southern and Union Pacific were also strong, the latter nearlng its
high for the year.
The sudden development of Interest in railroad stocks during tho last 24
hours was a matter of much favorable comment In financial circles, which have
long felt that this class of securities was selling out of lino with the industrials
land that the big trunk lines were bound to share in tho growing prosperity.
The Atchison August report, published 'today, bore this out in a striking
manner, earnings showing heavy increases in both gross and net.
The market closed strong. Trading continued active all through the last
houfr with additional gains in many issues, although realizing In large volumes
resulted in some reaction. Lackawanna Steel was the most active of tho
specialties, making a gain of moro than nine points for the day. Bethlehem
Bteel rose to 356, Industrial Alcohol sold at a gain of 3 points, whllo Balti
more and Ohio Improved further, as did Illinois Central.
Court Orders Rock Island Debts Paid
CHICAGO, Sept. 25. Payment qt debts amounting to nearly $3,100,000 were
authorized by Federal Judge Carpenter on th,o petition of H. U. Mudgo and
Jacob M. Dickinson, receivers for the Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific Railway
Company. The payments ordered by tho couit were of interest "and other funds
on securities held against tho railroad. ,

SEPTEMBER WHEAT
AGAIN ADVANCED
Other Months Fnilcd to Follow
tho Rise Commission
Houses Cautious
CHICAGO, Sent. 25. Trading was ex
ceedingly light In tho wheat market fol
lowing tho opening today, but prices of
September, which advanced 1 cent over
night, went IU cents higher before noon.
September is proving an lnsolvable punlo
to traders. A reduction of open Interest
causes a wide fluctuation on small orders.
Only SOOO bushels changed hands on the
sale that sent the price up a cent. Com
mission houses are advising customers to
kcop free from It, according to a report
prevailing here, which Is partly respon
sible for the light demand, although offer
.Ings are said to be small.
Again the bullish sentiment which
drove out the bears yesterday retreated
today and prices on December and May
were kept from following September In
the early hours. Tho chango from bull
to bear these days Is swifter th9n the
changes of a protean artist In vaudeville.
Corn and oats wero features. Prices
changed but little, although at times buy
ing was brisk.
Supported by tho strength of the Amer
ican and Winnipeg market, Liverpool
grew firm. Traders wero nervous. Spot
was firm and unchanged to Id. higher.
Cargoes were strong. Indications are that
world shipments to United Kingdom will
be light. Millers are growing anxious.

BANKERS EXPECT MONET" JAJ
TO STAY EASY OVER M03
Rumors of Deals Still Fill the Street Cumbria
Rose Sharply to a New High Record, m Did
Baldwin Pennsylvania Active
The md of thb .present month Is likely
to develop gome largo movements of
money In this city. AlthottRh October Is
not ono of the heaviest dividend nrrd Iti
tcrest disbursement periods, these will,
nevertheless, bo substantial. In addition
the Pennsylvania Itallroad has notified
Its depositories that It will draw upon
them heavily In order to make payment
on the JiSfi,S27,00O convertible 314 per cent
bonds, which nro due October 1. The
Mldvale Steel pavment may also have
some effect nsshoutd tho exercising of
the Donncr option on Cambria Rteel.
Locat bankers, however, do not look for
anything; moro than n lemproray uflrry,
even though the crops moving period Is
on. There might bo n slight stiffening of
low no disturbance Is expected. But If
enlng In rates might result.
Tho Philadelphia financial district con
tinued to be pervaded by all sorts of
rumors of deals, and many curious sto
rlcs more or less veracious, wore told.
One of these, given as an explanation ot
the Mldvale Steel Company salo, Is nt least
Interesting. It was said that the reason
the company had accepted no war orders
up to tho present time was because of a
division in the sympathies ot one ot tho
families formerly In control. There are
two daughters, so tho tale goes, one of
whom married n, German, tho other an
Englishman, and In order to maintain
penco In tho family It was decided to take
nothing but Unltetd Stutes Government
contracts for war supplies.
, Heavy trading In Cambria Steel was
tho feature ot tho local market today.
Although there appeared to bo a consid
erable supply of tho stock for sale around
G6, demand was sulllclent to absorb It.
ruid the quotation went to a now high
record, rising rapidly to 6S by 11 o'clock,
some 7000 shares changing hands In tho
process. About doublo this amount made
up tho total for the two-hour session.
